Wedding Party
Tommy Hill
Best Man
Best friend since 6th Grade, DJ , Photographer , (good smelling) Dead Head. One time when he had a concussion, he fell asleep on a chocolate bar, and I helped clean it off of him.
Emmie Grussing
Maid of Honor
sister of the bride + entrepreneur + pastry chef + stand up comedian + bundle of joy. does a great impression of obama and dwayne "the rock" johnson. seriously, ask her do to it. inherited the skill of eye rolling and teenage angst from her big sister.
Sam Grussing
Groomsman
Gracie's little brother and now mine! He loves the Vikings, Timberwolves and most Gopher sports. I take a lot of credit for showing him his favorite musician, Jason Isbell . Very mature for his age, but not mature enough to eat vegetables (seriously, none of em).
Elizabeth Langan
Maid of Honor
childhood (and adulthood!) best friend of the bride. has spent prolonged periods of time in a car with gracie driving cross country, which means she is incredibly patient and full of grace. probably the smartest person at this wedding. book worm + tree hugger + environmentalist + theologian + your mom’s favorite friend of yours
Lars Erickson
Groomsman
Friends Since 6th Grade. He’s that friend who knows how to fix things and other man stuff. He's got a big ol' dog and an even bigger truck. Asking him not to bring his conceal and carry to the wedding is going to be a serious conversation we will have to have.
Cara Deluce
Bridesmaid
college bestie + 4 time (& counting) marathon runner + labor and delivery nurse + future doctor + co-op enthusiast + sneakily puts carrots in all of her homemade dishes (weird but admirable) + the friend that everyone borrows clothes from. what can’t she do?!
Milo Rice
Groomsman
Met working at our childhood bible camp. He's got long dreamy hair, thrifted Carhart pants, and works at a cocktail bar. He's the kind of friend you go to Waffle house with at 3AM.
Lacey Barkalow
Bridesmaid
college bestie + old roommate of the bride + globetrotter + florist + social worker + cake decorator + colorado native + mountain climber + world's best conversationalist. she's a california girl now, but we're still delusional enough to think she'll move back to mn one day
Nathan Ausk
Groomsman
We've been friends since 6th grade basketball. Our record was 1-10 (I'm pretty sure the game we won was because the other team’s bus broke down, and they were forced to forfeit). We spent countless hours together at musical rehearsals, in taco bell drive through's, playing Tony Hawk instead of doing homework, and consequently summer school. I also clogged his toilet so bad his mom had to help. (thank you Momma Tracey)
May Brisco
Bridesmaid
childhood friend of the groom converted to roommate and dear friend of the bride. the life of any party + best dressed + genuinely the nicest person to exist+ barbie/pink/sparkles enthusiast
Trent Brunner
Groomsman
We met in middle school doing musicals. Trent can't sing but thankfully was able to coast on his good looks (his words not mine). Trent is a big swifty and truly a sweetheart. He's an engineer so don't ask him about what he does for work unless you have like twenty minutes. Also, Nathan and him showed me Star Wars for the first time, and for that I'm eternally grateful.
Haley Freeman
Bridesmaid
childhood friend of the groom converted to dear friend of the bride. library enthusiast (seriously, she's getting her master's in library science!) + A24 film girl + has a catchphrase for everything + loyal + authentic + loves a good hot dog
Abigail Westrum
Personal Attendant
childhood friend of the bride. bonded through the most cringe time of gracie's life, the boyband phase. kick a** businesswoman + celebrity commentator + comedian + knows how to party + that friend that you send all your fav memes to
Olivia Borell
Personal Attendant
cousin + childhood best friend of the bride. ER nurse + swifite + makes a great pan of bars + kindest heart ever + has been known to cause others to laugh so hard they pee, I won't name names
Sarah & Wesley Slaughter
Host & Hostess
friends of the couple + northloopers + serious restaurant critics + cocktail/charcuterie board connoisseurs + most hospitable people we know
Ushers + Greeters
