Wedding Party
Aryn Embretson
Maid of Honor
Meet my sourdough enthusiast, Chicago girly and stud of a runner best friend, Aryn. Want to race her? You'll loose! We competed in 3 high school sports together, cross country, hockey and track- we were two peas in a pod! To this day, we still share countless running miles together filled with meaningful talks, laughs and reminiscing about how weird we were in high school. Even though she decided to move south, we are able to maintain a deep friendship that I will forever cherish. What I admire most about Aryn is her steady walk with the Lord and her ambitious drive for life. People like Aryn don't come by into your life often, go find yourself an Aryn!
Abby Anderson
Matron of Honor
Abby and I go back to Pinewood Elementary School, where we first bonded over our blue Justice Jumpsuits in 5th grade. Abby worked her magic behind the scenes of our engagement, she was there to capture it all. (I don't know how she hid it since I was onto Henry about a proposal all week). You can find Abby cuddling up with her new hubby- Cory, Facetiming her nephew and niece or learning a new board game to play. This day wouldn't be complete without Abby's big heart and contagious smile. She has been a positive influence on my life and can't imagine my wedding day without her!
Olivia Propp
Bridesmaid
Olivia and I were "rink rats," growing up. We spent our winters playing hockey, knee hockey and having sleepovers until the sun came up. What I admire most about Olivia is that she's always willing to make time for her family and friends. Whether it is a quick run, grabbing happy hour together, or an early morning workout to catch up on our busy lives, you can always count on her to be there. I was apart of Olivia's wedding day in AZ and now roles are reversed, I can't wait to have you by my side throughout my wedding day. Let's hope the dance floor can keep Olivia up past 8:00 PM- as this girl likes her sleep!
Idee Medrano
Bridesmaid
Our friendship began through RMC's Occupational Therapy Facebook page, when I messaged her asking if she was looking for a roommate. After our first awkward encounter, when Idee picked me up from the airport, we quickly became inseparable. Through hikes, rodeos, late night DQ runs, bike rides, softball games, early F45 workout classes, road trips and schooling, I can confidently say Idee will be a lifelong friend of mine. I am still in shock how graduate school brought Idee into my life, she truly has given me the confidence to live life to the fullest!
Caitlin Copa
Bridesmaid
Caitlin and I lived on the same floor freshman year at UW- Eau Claire (along with Jenny and Olivia, Tower's North represent). We lived together for the remainder of undergrad and were hosts too many UWEC Women's Hockey parties. Caitlin and I have experienced many walks of life together and I can truly say we are living our best lives at the moment! I was honored to be apart of Caitlin's wedding June 2022, to witness her marry her soulmate! Who knew, getting ready for college parties would turn in to getting ready together the morning of our weddings!
Jenny Sidla
Bridesmaid
AKA, "Baby J." Our relationship started in the Towers North Dorm, you could say Jenny was a UWEC Women's Hockey groupie, as she quickly became friends with the team and even became Manager for a year. Since graduating, we've gotten closer, sharing a passion for the mountains and aesthetic coffee shops. Jenny has a big heart, especially for animals, she even has a pet bird names Lulu! Jenny's presence naturally lights up a room and I am so blessed to have her by my side on my wedding day.
Rose Bentley
Bridesmaid
Rose is my youngest girl cousin on the Wilson's side. We grew up enjoying summers together jumping on the trampoline, playing with Barbies, Hayward cabin trips, and eating Klondik bars. My favorite memory with Rose was watching her get married to her high school sweetheart May 2023. Family is so important to the both of us and I can't wait to have my baby cousin be next to me on my wedding day!
Jennifer Johnson
Bridesmaid
Our friendship started at Pinewood Elementary School and has continued to despite the distance between us! We share countless memories- playing hockey, visiting Denver, cabin trips and delicious food! You can find Jen on the dance floor or mingling with new people with her contagious Golden Retriever personality. Her friendship has impacted my life for the better, Jen has taught me to live fearlessly & I couldn’t say “i do” without her by my side!
Charlie Habermann
Best Man
Charlie is the oldest of the Habermann boys. Charlie and I have always found ways to get along and battle through sports in the backyard. We had many fun days and late nights playing basketball, football and even baseball outside and inside (sorry mom). We have always been able to bond through sharing rooms and always having to share the bed on family vacations. Charlie has always been a role model to me through his walk with the Lord, athletic ability, being a father to Cooper, his leadership and his work ethic. He will always be one of my best friends.
Russell Habermann
Best Man
Russell is the middle child of the Habermann boys. Whenever I talk about my brother Russell to other people I always mention that he is one of the smartest people I know. Russell is the life of the party and is always fun to sit and have a conversation with. Russell wears many hats through his jobs and volunteer work that he does for the community he lives in. He is always thinking, whether is comes to music or how something can be improved upon. I have always looked up to Russell for his ability to accomplish tasks and play what seems to be 1,000 instruments. I am forever grateful to have a brother that I can constantly laugh with over Arthur trivia or when Momma Tracy mis-pronounces an actor or musicians name.
Matthew Carlson
Groomsman
Matt is one of my closest friends from college where we both attend the University of Wisconsin-Superior. Matt was on the track and field team where it was easy to make friends with the goofy group of guys we had. We bonded over sports and Star Wars and always found ourselves laughing with one another. We both worked together at Austin-Jarrow throughout our college days where Matt was able to get to know my mom. I am lucky to have a great friend like Matt in my life as he is always down for anything and is always there when you need a helping hand.
Zach Myran
Groomsman
Zach is one of best friends from college as we both attended the University of Wisconsin-Superior and competed with one another on the track and field team. Zach and I were forced to hangout through track as we both competed in the same jumping events. We were often laughing and probably were not doing exactly what we were supposed to be doing at our meets. We always had fun talking and joking about Star Wars and other nonsense. Zach and I were able to reconnect when I moved to Burnsville, MN in 2020 and I found that he lived a few miles away. Since then, we never golf without giving one another a heads-up and we are constantly talking about improving our golf game. Zach is a hard worker and a new father to his son, Asher.
Logan Zierden
Groomsman
Logan is one of my best friends who hails from the rival high school city- Hermantown, MN. Logan and Henry met through Matt during their college years and have spent a great amount of time together. Through summer volleyball and days up at good ole Fish Lake during the 4th of July, we became close friends. Logan is one of the smartest people out there who is passionate in his work and working out. This guy can lift a lot of weight! Logan is always there to provide a helping hand and is a truly great friend.
Austin Braun
Groomsman
Austin and I became friends when I moved into his house in Burnsville, MN in 2020 to seek a job and be closer to Lexi. Austin opened up his home to me for 2.5 years and through that time I was always very appreciative for him and his golden retriever, Blaze. We always have fun and became close throughout the years, I even got to experience him marrying his bride, Dani. Austin and his family mean a lot to me and I am glad that I have a friend to always golf with, play pool and laugh with. Mista Austin is a wonderful and caring friend that I am happy to have standing beside me on my wedding day.
Travis Carlson
Groomsman
Travis and I have been friends for several years as we met when Travis moved from Anoka to Proctor while he was in middle school. Travis and I bonded quickly and were inseparable while in our high school years as we constantly played basketball inside and outside pretty much year-around. Travis was always cool as a cucumber and always has the best shoe game. Some of my favorite memories growing up come from my time with Travis and his family as we would go on trips to Oklahoma City to watch our favorite team, the Thunder play on our spring break. I am truly grateful to have a lifelong best friend like Travis.
Andrew Wilson
Groomsman
Drew is Lexi's younger brother and Henry's summer roommate by default. Drew attends Lander University in South Carolina as he pursues a masters degree and plays college lacrosse. Drew is a fun-loving person who is always down to have fun. He cares deeply about his family and friends. Lexi often tells story after story of them playing knee hockey in the basement and playing in the backyard as they grew up together. I am excited to have another brother and I couldn't ask for a better one than Drew.
