Alex & Sean
Wedding Party
Tori Erickson
Best Woman
Tori is the closest thing to Alex having an actual sister with this friendship going, basically, back to birth. They grew up spending every summer at the Columbus Country Club together, going to awkward high school dances together, getting into a lot of trouble together, and even moving to Milwaukee together. Go Birds!
Leah Osiecki
Best Woman
Leah befriended a hopeless Texan boy named Sean on his first day of high school in Wisconsin. Sean still relies on Leah for odd facts, apocalypse survival tips, and heart-to-hearts to this day, almost 20 years later (and years to come). Now, let's break out those dance moves! Did you know Leah can do the "moonwalk"?!
Nick Englese
Groomsman
Nick and Alex have known each other since college. They lived together their senior year of college and been inseparable ever since, even if they've lived in different states. Alex and Nick are sure to not let distance slow their friendship so are always planning a new trip whether it is to Miami, Las Vegas, NYC, or Palm Springs.
Kate Osiecki
Groomswoman
Kate became fam the second Leah introduced her to the friend group. Despite working in the dental field (crowd jeers), Kate is an absolute angel! Sean and Alex are lucky to have her in their lives, especially after Alex nearly gave her a concussion by "tossing" a beer to her (forehead) in the middle of Pioneer Lake. That could have been the end of our friendship, but luckily, she doesn't remember much of that moment. ;)
Josh Martinez
Groomsman
Alex and Josh went to Scranton together, but the friendship really blossomed once they both realized that they lived in Milwaukee, WI. Josh has introduced Alex to two of his favorite things: Ru Paul's Drag Race and the WWE Divas (mostly Nikki Bella to be exact). Every weekend night you could easily find Alex & Josh blasting Hillary Duff or Britney Spears on a local Milwaukee juke box while enjoying a vodka soda. Josh & Sean immediately hit it off after Sean had to receive Josh's approval, and here we are, years later, with Josh standing by the boys' sides!
Jake Sinkula
Groomsman
Jake also answers to "Hot Jake" or "Tall Jake". Probably the most athletic of the friend group, Jake loves golfing, basketball, and breaking it down to "America's Sweetheart" by Elle King. Sean and Alex met Jake the same way they met many of their lifelong friends, over vodka sodas at Drink Wisconsinbly (RIP) about 6 years ago. The fun times haven't stopped since.
Alyssa Buth
Groomswoman
Just over the pond, in the most amazing country in the world, Alex and Alyssa met in Milano, Italy. Then shortly after Alex moved to Milwaukee, he remembered he knew at least one person there, and that was Alyssa. Ever since reuniting in Milwaukee, Alex and Alyssa have been by each other's sides. From first apartments, to first houses, to Alyssa's first children, to floating down a river in the Arizona heat, and now a wedding!
Alissa Wagner
Groomswoman
When Sean started working at the Green Mill in Eau Claire, WI, he was immediately intimidated by the very loud (and tall) Alissa. Soon thereafter, Alissa and Sean were pretty inseparable, often annoying those around them with their stupid nicknames and inside jokes. Wouldn't change it, though. This girl is like Sean's sassy, but so loving, big sister. #lova #so21
Alyssa Chapman
Groomswoman
Rumor is that Alyssa AKA "Blondie" was born at Lambeau Field, making her the biggest Packers fan the boys know. For almost 3 years, every Saturday and Sunday, you could find Alex and Alyssa slingin' shots of Tully and Spotted Cows to whoever stepped in the door of Drink Wisconsinbly Pub. Their similar sassiness made the friendship a no-brainer from the beginning. Even when the Eagles beat the Packers, Al and Blondie will still love each other forever and ever. Go Pack Go!
Chad Ellingboe
Groomsman
Chad was Sean's big scary boss at Trocadero in Milwaukee, WI, but the two became total bros once Chad stopped denying how awesome Sean is. Chad loves the finer things in life and may have some pretty high standards, but he is one of the greatest and most loyal friends Sean has met. From nearly sinking a pontoon boat to learning a choreographed dance hungover and all the shenanigans in between, we are stoked to have this guy in the special day.
Kenzi Enright
Groomswoman
Kenzis are like onions. When not in Shrek drag, Kenzie is just beautiful inside and out. Though Kenzi is possibly the funniest person the boys know, she can also be relied on to ugly-cry at any good news... just ask for pictures of the post-proposal Facetime. Kenzi has been there since, literally, day one of Alex's and Sean's relationship when she forced Alex to deliver touchdown shots for every Packer touchdown (which was often).
Sara Padley
Groomswoman
From Alex's first shift a Drink Wisconsinbly Pub, him and Sara were pretty much inseparable. Not long after working together, they became roommates just a few blocks from the wedding venue. From raising puppies together, bartending together, traveling to Southern Illinois together, and countless more memories, Sara really is the epitome of Alex's Milwaukee experience. Sean had, merely, no choice but to fall in love with Sara as much as Alex!
Andrea Kassees
Groomswoman
This might be a shocker, but Andrea came to Sean and Alex via Drink Wisconsinbly Pub! Andrea spent hours telling us about how she was collecting baseball cards and shockingly we are still friends after that. There is never a dull, or quiet, moment when Andrea is in the mix. More importantly, there is never a moment where you do not feel loved with Andrea around... except if you are rooting against her favorite wrestler in the WWE, then watch your back.
Meg Voss
Groomswoman
When Alex worked at Progressive (the first time) years ago, he immediately buddied up with Meg, who will say she taught him everything he knew at Progressive, and she is right! Ever since, they have been best friends and best work buddies. Meg is one of the kindest and most thoughtful friends a person could ask for and the boys are so happy to have her stand up with them even though she'd probably rather be hanging out with Barclay and Gus. Who can blame her!
Adam Nafranowicz
Usher
Adam is Alex's little brother. Now, Adam has only been to Milwaukee once, but odds are after doing his usherly duties, you will find him trying to play bar dice with anyone and everyone. Take him up on it, it's fun!!
Alec Potter
Usher
Alec, Sean's little brother, remains the yang to Sean's yin. Where Sean can be (allegedly) loud, dramatic, and high-strung, Alec has always been calm, cool, and collected (unless he is talking Star Wars). We are excited for Alec to bring that "3C" energy to Alex's and Sean's crazy day. The force is strong with this one.
Jake Wakem
Officiant
Jake is the first person Alex met in Milwaukee and truly made Alex's transition to the Midwest as fun and easy as possible. Whether it was nights at volleyball, nights cleaning residence halls that were flooded from sprinklers, or being beachfront in Mexico, every moment with Jake is one to cherish and one you will remember. It is the exact reason why Jake was asked to officiate this wedding!
