Meet our family and friends who will be walking down the isle with us!

Ian

Best Man

Alex and Ian met at cooper high school. However, they became much closer friends at the University of Minnesota, especially as they were roommates from sophomore to senior year. Ian and Alex were roommates when Alex and Leona met, and the two made it through a whole year as roommates during the Covid lockdown without anyone losing their mind.


Flossie

Maid of Honor

We met on bumble friends! After the first meeting we both knew we wanted to be friends and have been ever since. Flossie is not only Leona's Maid of Honor but also a close friend, partner in crime, vent buddy, dog lover and a truly amazing human being.

Gage

Groomsman

Alex met Gage at the University of Minnesota Duluth through high school friends, and the two really developed their friendship after college. As you can see in the accompanying photo, Gage likes to have fun, and the two have had plenty of fun memories over the years at the wild onion.

Alex and Lucas also met at Cooper High School, where they got to know each other through band, cross country, and other activities. From then until now, the two have engaged in plenty of shenanigans and nonsense.
