Wedding Party
Jack Hester
Man of Honor
Jack is Allison's younger brother, even though he is over a foot taller than her! Jack and Allison are complete opposites, but they do have three things in common: their love of family, loyalty to friends, and devotion to the Chicago Cubs. Allison can’t wait to hear Jack’s best man speech, and if it’s anything like his 5th grade DARE essay, we are all in for a treat!
Ally Hester
Bridesmaid
Ally is Allison’s sister-in-law and married to the bride’s best man, Jack. Growing up, Allison always wanted a sister and now she finally has one. Having the same name was getting kinda confusing though so thank goodness for Michael because the world can’t handle two Ally Hester’s!
Cora Cockerham
Bridesmaid
Cora is Allison’s cousin, and the older sister to the Ring Bearer Cal. She enjoys cold weather sports (especially skiing), TikTok dances, and playing board games with Michael.
Katie Hinman
Bridesmaid
Katie and Allison met through a mutual friend and decided that they should become best friends since they are basically the same person. Their hobbies include stealing golf carts, online shopping, and getting their nails done. Katie and Allison are incapable of standing still when they are together so pictures of the two of them always turn out blurry; hopefully they get at least one good photo at the wedding!
Tom Kirchgesner
Best Man
Tom is Michael's older brother. He has had a big influence on Michael as he has grown up, and Michael still looks up to his big brother to this day. Tom and Michael enjoy playing games (both online and in person) together, being active (playing volleyball, going on hikes, etc.), and sharing meals with family and friends.
Kyle Garrett
Groomsman
Kyle has been best friends with Michael for over 10 years. They both enjoy being active in the summer especially playing sand volleyball and paddle boarding on the lake. They are easy to spot in any crowd because they will both be decked out in head to toe "Hurley" gear and wearing "Oakley" sunglasses.
Chuck Jiardina
Groomsman
Chuck has been Michael's best friend for over 30 years (since they were 5!) They grew up together being involved in Boy Scouts and both ended up earning the rank of Eagle Scout. Even though they don’t live in the same city anymore, they still make time to go on snowboarding and skiing trips together up north every year.
Brian Wilbern
Groomsman
Brian is friends with Michael and is dating Katie, a member of the Bride Squad. Brian and Michael have a lot in common since they are basically dating the same person (Allison and Katie are very alike!). They both enjoy grilling, hanging out with friends, playing pool, and catching the sunsets on the lake on Brian's boat.
Callum Cockerham
Ring Bearer
Callum (Cal) is Allison's cousin and younger brother to wedding attendant Cora. Allison is the oldest cousin, and Cal is the youngest so they are more like Aunt and Nephew. They share a very special bond, and you will never find Allison calling him Cal, her nickname for him is Monkey. He is sure to steal the show at the wedding with his amazing dance moves!
Maisie Choquette
Flower Girl
Maisie is Allison's cousin and little sister to the page boys, Emmett and Oliver. She loves the color pink and Disney princesses so her and Allison have a lot in common. She will be a hard act to follow walking down the aisle!
Emmett & Oliver Choquette
Page Boys
Emmett and Oliver are Allison's twin cousins, and the older brothers to the flower girl, Maisie. Michael's favorite twin is Oliver because he is the Cardinal fan, and Allison's favorite twin is Emmett because he is the Cubs fan ;) There is no one Allison trusts more to help carry the train of her dress than “E&O”
Anthony & Tristan
Attendant
Anthony and Tristan are Michael's nephews. They love having sleepovers at Aunt Allison and Uncle Mike’s house because there are no rules and Murphy gives them lots of love and attention. Their official title is wedding attendants, but they have promised Allison to chase Michael down if he tries to run away on the big day!
Kirk Arens
Officiant
Kirk is Allison’s Uncle and her Godfather. He was also married on the beach in Florida so he should be the expert! Kirk is responsible for one of the best and worst days of Allison’s life as he is the one who signed her up for her one and only marathon race. He is one of the funniest people you will ever meet and his signature move on the dance floor is the “shopping cart”
