Francis & Ali
I do crew
Ali Przybilla
Maid of Honor
Ali and I became really close friends our senior year of high school. Once we started hanging out, I thought to myself I can not believe we have not been friends longer. Ali is the most selfless and caring person I know. She will do anything for the people she loves. I can always count on Ali for an honest opinion, as I know she can for me as well, and what a great thing it is to have someone who loves you so much that they will always give you tough love. We have had more late night conversations than I have with anyone else. If you wanted to try and figure out some of my deepest secrets you'd have to crack this girl. I am so unbelievably lucky to have her by my side, helping me plan, destress, and wipe my happy tears as I marry my best friend.
Ernie Loerzel
Best Man
Ernie and Francis are brothers, so they kind of know one another. ☺ These two have an unbreakable bond, whether or not they would openly admit it. These two look forward to being able to play video games together on Saturday nights. So, I definitely hear about it if I plan something and Francis can not be on to play. I usually am alright with him taking up so much time playing, because this is a time for them to bond and catch up. I have never seen someone look up to someone else as I have seen Francis look up to Ernie. I know there is no one else who could better fill the role as Best Man for Francis.
Abby Tresco
Sister of Honor
I have known Abby her entire life, even though she has only know me for part of mine. Abby is the complete opposite of me in all the perfect ways! You could not find two more opposite people who get along as well as we do. Of course we have our sisterly spats, which mostly consist of me annoying her in every and any possible way, but she also is still immature enough with me that we manage to get into trouble together. We have shared so many laughs, and inside jokes that I wouldn't even know where to begin. She has always been there to take care of me literally in sickness and in health ( I beg for her help over anyone else when sick) and I can not think of someone better than her to stand by my side as these responsibilities are passed along to Francis.
Ryan Monson
Groomsman
Francis and Mo have been friends for as long as they can remember. I remember more recently Francis, Mo and I were all at a party at Mo's house and we decided we were hungry so we all went into town and Mo was playing so many great songs, he and I were having a great time singing. Before we made it all the way into town we had to wait for a train, and Mo really had to go to the bathroom so without hesitation gets out, and starts to go and before we knew it the train had passed and he was still going, in the middle of the road. This was one of those times Francis's laugh came out. I could tell in that moment that these two have many memories filled with laughter like this night. Francis and I are so honored to have such a great guy by our side on our wedding day.
Sophie Tresco
Flower Girl
Sophie Ann is Francis and I's goddaughter. Brandon and Claire surprised us and asked us to be her Godparents the night we got engaged. We are both take pride in filling this role for sweet Sophie. Ever since they asked Francis has almost daily asked me how Sophie is doing and if I have gotten any pictures of her today. He absolutely loves her, it is seriously my favorite thing. I love how much he loves he, and how much she loves him. There have been a few times we had Sophie hanging out at our house and he had been holding her then gets up to do something, and hands her to me and she cries for him. However, I know she loves me too because every time she sees me she smiles and lets me snuggle her. There is no doubt she will be the perfect flower girl on our special day.
Keegan Loerzel
Ring Bearer
Keegan is Francis' Godson, and Francis loves Keegan so much. Francis especially loves Keegan's little smile when he does something he knows he shouldn't. Which is often times prompted by Francis if he is around. When Francis gets to see Keegan he has the biggest smile I have ever seen, he absolutely loves riling him up, playing dodgeball and having great time. There is nothing sweeter than watching Francis be an uncle and a Godfather.
Courtney Lemmerman
Bridesmaid
Courtney and I are cousins, but only because when we were younger there was no way someone could handle us as sisters. Some of my best childhood memories are with Courtney, making dances, taking pictures and doing each others makeup, to name a few. This girl is constantly sending me snapchats and videos that make me laugh until I cry. Her confidence in herself and sense of humor is admirable. I absolutely love her and I love that she is in my life! We have grown up together, been through a lot together, and I seriously could not imagine my wedding day without my oldest friend by my side.
Mitch Kahlow
Groomsman
Francis and Mitch have been friends for as long as Francis can remember, and from the stories I've been told they have sure done a lot of crazy things together. Francis's most recalled and told story of growing up is when he was riding four wheeler with Mitch and he decided to take a jump. Which resulted in Francis braking his wrist and having his fingers touching his forearm. More recently Francis and Mitch have not been able to hang out as much because life gets busy as adults, but whenever they do get to hang out again it is like no time has passed at all. I know that Francis is honored to have such a long time friend by his side!
Claire Tresco
Bridesmaid
I have known Claire Bear for gosh what feels like forever, but in all seriousness its only been a few years! I remember vividly the first time Claire and I sat down and talked to each other. She had come up with Brandon for hunting season, and her and I stayed at my uncles house. We sat up talking for a good portion of the night, and all I could think is gosh I hope my brother keeps her around. Now here we are a few years later and they are married with two beautiful girls, who I love more than anything. I don't see Claire as my sister in law, but as a sister and a friend. A lot of my best memories over the last few years have included her and her hilarious laugh. I am honored she will be by my side.
Brandon Tresco
Groomsman
Brandon is our neighbor, oh and one of my brothers. These past few years I have seen my relationship with Brandon change from immature siblings into two adults who would do anything to have each others back. Not only has my own relationship with Brandon progressed for the better, but I love seeing how he has accepted Francis. These two do NOT like to admit that they get along so well, but they do. It is an amazing feeling to know that Brandon supports my relationship with Francis and will welcome him as a brother in law. Brandon has given me relationship advice that I find myself recalling more than any other advice I have received. I know we can always count on him to be brutally honest, because he cares. We are honored he will stand by us on our wedding day.
Sadie Eiynk
Bridesmaid
I do not even know where to begin with this one. Sadie has been around for some of my best and worst moments. Only because she was helping me make bad decisions. If I have a story to tell there is a pretty good chance she is in it. We have done so many crazy fun, unforgettable things together. I am so lucky to have a friend who understands my dark humor and sarcasm. Not only did we get to make memories together just the two of us, but we also got to make memories with our future husbands. The four of us lived together for a short while, and we sure did pack a lot of laughter and memories into that time. A lot of people think it can be hard to live with friends, but I miss it. Sadie is truly one of my best friends and I am so lucky to have her by my side for another memory!
Brandon Fiedler
Groomsman
Fid and Fran, when these two talk I can hardly keep up. They have countless memories together and whenever they talk about them they barely or rarely need to finish sentences because they know exactly what comes next in the story. I could sit and listen to all of their stories for hours, in shock at the things they did. These have gotten into quite the trouble together, but they have both also matured a lot. We are both honored to have Fid play such a special role in our big day.
LeAnn Hutchinson
Bridesmaid
LeAnn is Francis's older sister, but now she gets to legally be my sister too!! Although I have not gotten to spend a lot of time one on one with LeAnn I do know that Francis loves his sister and that she loves him too. LeAnn is such a fun and caring person. Who loves her family, and I am so blessed to be joining them. LeAnn has made me feel a part of their family from the first time I met her. She came to the Dead End Hayride with Francis, Sadie and Aaron (Sadie's fiancé) and I and she fit right in. We were able to talk, laugh and joke. It seriously felt like I had known her longer than a few hours. I wish she was able to live closer because I know we would see each other a lot more. I am so lucky she will stand by us in support while I marry her brother.
Brandon Brown
Groomsman
I have never had the honor of meeting BB, but I sure have heard a lot of stories about him and Francis. These two have not been able to see one another a whole lot recently. But, when they did get together recently, Francis came back home and was smiling and was excited to tell me all the stories that they had remembered. For these two a strong friendship doesn't need daily conversation, or need to see each other all the time. These two know that no matter what they have each other's backs. Francis is honored to have his long time friend, BB by his side during this important milestone.
Rakel Tresco
Bridesmaid
This girl, she is a hoot to be around. I absolutely love spending time with her and can not believe that she is marrying my brother and now I get to call her my sister. Rakel is always there to call me out on my sarcasm, and to throw some back at me and I LOVE it! She is always making me little crafts that I request because she is so dang crafty! I can not imagine my life without her now that she is apart of it. She makes so many people happy, but especially my brother and I can't thank her enough for that.
Dakota Tresco
Groomsman
Dakota has shown me a whole different approach to life, he is very easy going and I admire that about him. He and I also share many similarities in our relationships. He and his soon to be wife Rakel met the same way Francis and I met, had their first date the same day as us, and he even went to buy a ring the same day. CRAZY. So not only that, but he and Francis get along really well. Mostly because Dakota likes to laugh a lot and Francis does a lot of things that make people laugh! Dakota for some reason has something about him that Francis likes, there have been countless times where I try to wake Francis up to no avail, and Dakota can walk in tell Francis to get up and he listens. I am so lucky to have a brother like Dakota, and am extremely lucky he will stand by us on our big day!
Paisley Tresco
Toddler Bridesmaid
Paisley is the sweetheart who made me an auntie. I will never forget when this spitfire came into this world and made everything better. From day one everything Paisley has done is the cutest thing I have ever seen. She is smarter than her own good, funnier than any other kid I know and she is the perfect example of my inner child. I had the honor of watching Paisley for a lot of summer of 2020, and every day she made my day better, even when she was throwing a tantrum. The best thing though was when she said my name for the first time AND the fact that she also calls my sister, Ali. I seriously could go on and on about how Paisley has blessed my life. I am so lucky to have her be there as I marry Francis.
Gavin Loerzel
Toddler Groomsman
Gavin is Francis' nephew and these two love throwing pillows and making pillow forts when they come over to visit. Gavin is a little quieter when we first see him each time, but definitely opens up around uncle Franny because he has so much fun with his uncle. I also adore the fact that every time Gavin is getting ready to leave he always gives everyone in the room a hug. He is the sweetest little guy! We are so happy to have Gavin by our side as I am welcomed into the family.
Cayden Loerzel
Toddler Groomsman
Little Cayden has a smile that will light up an entire room. He is still pretty little, so we have not had as much time to bond with him, but watching him grow and form a personality is one of Francis and I's favorite things. Recently Cayden is learning how to say Francis and I's names and it is the cutest and sweetest thing! We love watching all of our nieces and nephews grow up, even though sometimes we wish we could freeze them when they are little. Cayden is such a sweetheart, and we are so so so lucky that he will join us on our special day.
Hollis Hutchinson
Toddler Bridesmaid
Hollis is Francis' only niece on his side of the family, and he absolutely adores her. Even though she is a little shy, after a few days of seeing her uncle she warms up to him. Francis devotes so much time and effort each time he sees her into getting her comfortable around him again. He loves her so much and does what he can to have a special bond with her. Hollis is adorable to watch. I remember one time Francis and I were up at the cabin on Mille Lacs with all the kids and Francis' parents, and Hollis was laying down trying to take a nap. Francis and I heard her singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, and she had the cutest singing voice. We styed quiet so she wouldn't know we could hear her and let her finish singing. We are so happy that Hollis will be joining us.
Gannon Hutchinson
Toddler Groomsman
Gannon and Francis I think are quite similar in quite a few ways. As far as I can tell Gannon is a little dare devil and is always finding new ways to get into trouble or hurt himself. I remember when Francis showed Gannon how to ride a bike down a steep hill, and Gannon rode down the hill so many times in a row, until he had an oops and ran into a bush. He cried for a short time and then got back onto the bike and carried on. This reminds me of Francis because he doesn't give up and neither does Gannon. If they fail they can get back on the bike and try again. I admire this about Francis, and I love seeing it in Gannon too. We are blessed that this little dude will be by our side.
Finley Hutchinson
Junior Groomsman
Finley is Francis' first nephew, and they actually got to live together when Finley was a baby. Francis always tells me stories about how he would watch Finley when he was little or help out sometimes and take care of him. From the stories I can tell that Francis got most of his baby knowledge from having Finley around, and for that I am very grateful. But, more recently Francis loves watching Finley grow and do new things. Whenever we get Finley's school picture sent to us Francis makes sure it either goes in his wallet or right onto the fridge. Francis absolutely loves Finley, and we are both happy Finley will be by our side at our wedding.
