Wedding Party
Ellen Paulson
Maid of Honor
If you've never showered with your MOH, should they really be your MOH? Literal best friends since the womb, Ellen and Paige are 2nd cousins but spent their summers at their cabins 5 down from one another. Separated by only a few months in age, Ellen is 3 months older than Paige and never let her forget it growing up!
JD DePasquale
Best Man
Since before they could walk, Jd and Nick were brothers. From grade school to college and after, they have been inseparable. Jd has all the amazing qualities Nick does not and that's what makes them a great team! Cheers to this beautiful Groomsman! Jd is awesome.
Hannah Wishman
Bridesmaid
Fun fact: Hannah met her husband on the flight home from visiting Paige in Florida. If you see her or her husband on the dance floor, ask for the full story. Hannah and Paige were next door neighbors in the dorm Freshman year of college at UW-La Crosse and later on, roommate Junior and Senior years.
Rece Pellersels
Groomsman
The brother of the Bride, Rece and Nick were like peanut butter and jelly from first meeting over two years ago. Rece is going to school and working, so they don't get the pleasure of seeing each other too often but when they do it's fireworks! Rece is awesome.
Jordan Wilke
Bridesmaid
Similar to Hannah, Jordan and Paige were dorm room neighbors. Actually, Hannah's room was between the two. Jordan is known to be trouble and the life of the party. Catch her on the dance floor, doing a keg stand, or doing something crazy for the grand march. As you can imagine, Jordan and Paige enjoyed a few too many $5 pitcher nights on Wednesdays in college.
Evan Harvey
Groomsman
Hurricane Harv, as we call him, is not a quiet fellow, but rather not quiet. Harv, who is mostly an introvert, has gotten out of his shell over the past few months and we are so excited to see it. Nick and Evan have been best friends since the 7th grade, Nick taught him almost all he knows about football. Evan is awesome.
Carlee Steinhaus
Bridesmaid
Similar to the stories you've already read, Carl is another friend from UW-La Crosse, however, she was NOT a neighbor in the dorms. Hannah's roommate and Carl were best friends from high school... Hence how Paige and Carlee met. Carlee went out of her way after transferring to UW-Madison to come see her LAX friends and never hesitates to drive from Madison to Woodbury and back in one day just to see Paige and Nick when they're in town.
Michael Edgley
Groomsman
Have you ever seen the Effiel Tower in person? Well don't you worry, because it's coming to you! Standing at a whopping 6'5" Mike will be able to see all the way to Iowa from the venue. Though he is big, Mike is a gentle giant, and only ever gets spooked if he farts in public. In his off time, Mike likes to work out and throw frisbee. What a beaut. Let's give it up for Mike! Mike is awesome.
Gabrielle Adamowicz
Bridesmaid
Gabby is the other short blonde in the bridal party (hint: not the one in white). Gabby is Nick's older sister and was roommates with Paige and Nick a little over a year ago. She's also married to Matt (one of Nick's groomsmen). Gabby is full of energy and will likely be found on the dance floor all night.
Matthew Adamowicz
Groomsman
Some would say the best accent in the world is the Scottish accent. Matt will confirm this. The brother in-law of the Groom was born in Scotland and came over in his early teens. At the wedding, go up and talk to Matt, he loves showing off his amazing accent. From rapping to dancing, Matt can do it all! Matt is awesome.
Marinna Battistoni
Bridesmaid
Marinna is Nick's oldest sister and the mother of our beautiful flower girl, Emilia! Marinna is one of the most caring people you'll meet. She's also married to another of Nick's groomsmen, Ryan!
Ryan Battistoni
Groomsman
Did someone say DILF? Yes, believe it or not this daddy's still got it. Ryan does it all, from swim practice to stocks, he is on it. In his off time, he likes riding his Uni-cycle to the beach, cooking dinner for his family, or bowling. Ryan can consistently bowl a 185, which is pretty impressive. Ryan is awesome.
Emilia Battistoni
Flower Girl
Emilia is the daughter of Marinna and Ryan, Paige and Nick's first and only niece! As a baby, she should have been a model, truly. She turns two-years-old next month, be sure to wish her an early happy birthday!
John Weissler
Usher
Have you ever met a social butterfly? Well, that is John in a nutshell. John is the most outgoing person and that’s what sparked his friendship with Nick over 15 years ago. John has a kind and giving heart and also loves a nice steak. John is a professional poker player, so when you see him don’t forget to tell him “good luck”. John is awesome.
Connor Fitzmorris
Usher
Did someone call the crypto police ‘cause this man’s on fire! From buying the dip to jumping on the next coin, Fitz is on it. Frisky Fitz, as he is called, can get pretty wild on the dance floor and doesn’t mind getting on the bar top dancing. When he’s not watching “Tucker Carlson tonight,” he is going for a long walk on the beach. Fitz is awesome.
Clay Meister
Usher
Do you like salsa? No, silly, not the dip, the dancing! Well, look no further because this Papi will keep you on your toes. Clay and Nick have been friends for 15 years and love jumping on the boat together. From teaching the next generation to playing beach volleyball with his dog, this man does it all. If you wanna meet Clay, look no further than the dance floor. Clay is awesome.
David Weeks
Usher
Put me in, Coach! Dave, aka Coach, is a college football coach and that man is making waves. Nick and Dave’s relationship really blossomed in college where they met in the bowling club, then they would study in the library all day and night. This single bachelor is living life to the fullest and would love himself a mamacita on the dance floor. If you see him say, “WHAT UP DAVE”. Dave is awesome.
Quintin Coens
Usher
This big ball of joy will make your day! “Q,” as we call him, has the biggest heart out there and has been best friends with Nick since the fifth grade. Of his many skills, Quintin can roll you the best sushi you have ever had! Don’t play this man in a game of PIG because he’s got a beautiful shot! Quintin is awesome.
