Wedding Party
Jillian Podobinski
Maid of Honor
Jill and Angi have known each other for over 10 years. They met when Angi moved from St. Jude of the Lake to Mahtomedi elementary. Jill befriended Angi when her mom called Angi's mom to ask if Angi could spend 4th of July weekend at a hotel with them swimming and going to the Taste of MN. When they hit it off over the weekend, Jill and Angi became the best of friends and their friendship has lasted a decade! Not only has Jill helped Angi with the wedding plans, but she was a monumental part of planning this wedding before Mike and Angi even met. ;) Some fun memories between Angi and Jill: -Making Jill carry a huge TV up 4 flights of stairs only to find out it didn't work. -Making Jill's mom's famous taco tip and eating ALL OF IT. -Boy talk which turned into planning THIS WEDDING!
Amelia Welch
Maid of Honor
Amelia and Angi are cousins. Ever since they were little girls, Amelia and Angi have been two peas in a pod. They laugh until they can't breathe, even if they are laughing at themselves or each other. Some say that Amelia is a spitting image of Angi, and vice-versa. Amelia has studied abroad in Costa Rica, growing in her love for the environment. She currently attends the University of Stout-Wisconsin.

Angi's favorite memory of Mim's: Sneaking back upstairs every Thanksgiving and Christmas to steal pumpkin bars out of the spare fridge.

It is common to hear that the Holvig Brothers all look alike, but Kenny and Mike look like they could be twins. At one point during a hockey game, Angi turned to Kenny's wife Lindsay and said "I can't tell from behind which guy is Mike or Kenny" and Lindsay said "You can't tell them apart from the front!!"

He and his wife Rachel have always been huge supporters of Angi and Mike and are a great example of a healthy, godly marriage!

Bill Putney
Father of the Bride
Bill is dad to Angi, and her little brother Ben, and husband to Krystan! He is an all star golfer, genius at math and pretty much everything else, and a wine connoisseur! Bill is the kind of dad who not only came to every Fast Pitch game, but coached the team! Bill spends every Monday night serving at a meal night to feed the homeless and poverty stricken people of St. Paul, this has been one of the many examples Bill set for his kids to be servant hearted, generous, and humble.

Angi's favorite KP Quotes: "Get me something good!" Angi: "I need to do some crunches." KP: "I'm gonna crunch this cake."
Hazel Holvig
Flower Girl
Hazel is an adventurous, hilarious, seemingly well-read 4 year old. She has an incredible vocabulary that makes you wonder if she is secretly a 60 year old trapped in a 4 year old body. She loves to bike on her non-training wheel big girl bike, swinging on swings, and playing with her cousin Troy. When you see Hazel at the wedding... instead of telling her that she is beautiful.... tell her that she looks " so cool and brave." haha!
Troy Holvig
Ring Bearer
Troy is our ring bearer! When Angi was babysitting Troy before the wedding, Troy came hesitantly to Angi and said, "Angi... I don't want to be a ring bearer..." Angi said, "How come Troy?" Troy: "I don't want to dress up like a bear!" After being told her doesn't actually have to dress up like a bear, he is excited to be a part of our big day! Troy loves to play with his cousins, shoot his nerf guns, shag flies, and of course hockey video games with Uncle Mikey.

Some highlights of ours of Rose are: When Angi took Rose to CVS, an elderly lady said "hi honey" and Rose scrunched up her cute little nose, stuck her pointer finger out and waved it at the lady while saying "NO, NO!"
