Ann & Nick
Party People!
Katherine Schmitt
Matron of Honor
Better known as Ann's Wifey. Katherine and Ann played soccer together for two years at St. Norbert College. They rekindled their friendship after Katherine graduated and Ann had moved back from Pennsylvania. Katherine couldn't get enough of Ann's hilariousness and Ann realized that Katherine completed her (sorry Nick, but you knew this was the case!)!
Nick Wurzer
Best Man
Nick is Nick's childhood best friend and neighbor, although he has always been more like a brother than just a friend! When they're together you'll usually find them golfing (go team blue) or playing basketball.
Jessica Smith
Matron of Honor
Jessica is Ann's oldest friend - in friendship years, not age years - and is like a sister to her. They have been friends for over 20 years (can you believe that, Jess?!). They've grown together (Jess more than Ann), played soccer together, lived together, watched Pitch Perfect together and most importantly frequented Rita's together! LYLAS
Shawn Bona
Groomsman
Shawn is Nick's youngest brother. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. If you were in good with Shawn you were in good with Mom and Dad, so Shawn and Nick were pretty close!
Katie Schuette
Bridesmaid
Katie is Ann's cousin. Well technically Katie's husband, Greg, is Ann's cousin, but Ann always tells him that she would claim Katie way before Greg! Ann and Katie have shared many wonderful times together including Katie dragging Ann to workout classes, taking craft classes and cake decorating class (man was Katie better than Ann at cake decorating!), bonding over brewskis and wine and some other times that shouldn't be shared here (Katie, you remember what happened when we stopped at the office way back when...)!
Micah Stoddard
Groomsman
Micah is Nick's college friend, soccer teammate and roommate of over 10 years. Even after college Micah and Nick continued to play soccer together on Yale United and Neza FC for many years.
Catie Schmitt
Bridesmaid
Catie was Ann's roommate, or domestic partner, for two years...and man was Ann lucky that she's a nurse! One of the first days they lived together, Catie came home and had to get to work bandaging Ann up because she had sliced a very small portion of the tip of her pinky finger off using a mandolin. Not long after Ann took a fit bit to her nose during a soccer game...nurse Catie to the rescue again! Soccer and their need for a roommate brought them together, but their love for minions and wine created an unbreakable bond!
Adolph Bona
Groomsman
Adolph is Nick's oldest brother, and he did exactly what you would expect an older brother to do - made you laugh, made you cry, pushed you down - and sometimes picked you back up, got you in trouble...you know, the usual! Nick also credits Adolph with starting his love for soccer. He remembers going to Adolph's games and watching him play and wanting to copy him and play too.
Lindsay Maki
Bridesmaid
Lindsay is Ann's cousin...the only other girl cousin on her dad's side! One of Ann's favorite memories with Lindsay is when they skipped out of nap time between Thanksgiving dinner and dessert at their grandparents to go take advantage of some Black Friday deals. Vacationing in Seattle is another top memory, but trying to convince grandma how necessary these Black Friday deals were is hard to beat!
Carter Bona
Groomsman
Carter is Nick's nephew and Godson. Nick and Carter have always shared a love for soccer. Ann was also lucky enough to coach Carter in soccer for a year. Through that and working where Carter played a lot Nick was able to spend even more time with him.
Robin Langenkamp
Bridesmaid
Robin is Ann's future sister in law (also Nick's current sister :P). Ann is an only child, so she couldn't be more excited to officially have a sister, especially someone as awesome as Robin! Ann has had a great deal of respect and appreciation for Robin ever since she met her, I mean not many people can keep a crazy sibling like Nick in line and live to talk about it. :)
Jeff Langenkamp
Groomsman
Jeff is Nick's brother-in-law. Jeff has been around in Nick's life forever...before he married Robin and became Nick's brother-in-law he was one of Adolph's good friends. Jeff is the one you go to with any sports, banking, stocks, bonds or gambling talk. Or if you ever need an idea for an app, he's probably got a couple of those ready for you too!
Hannah Scholl
Bridesmaid
Hannah is also Ann's future sister in law (and again, Nick's current sister!). Just as she mentioned with Robin, Ann couldn't be more excited to have an official sister...especially someone like Hannah! She's outgoing, fun caring and always gives great workout advice. :)
Shane Maki
Groomsman
Shane is Ann's cousin. Nick and Shane share a love for movies. Nick considers himself quite a movie aficionado and Shane is right there with him. They routinely express their surprise for all the times they talk about the movie greats and Ann has no idea what that movie is and hasn't seen it.
Mr. Bennett
Officiant
The Bennett's have been Ann's second family for as long as she can remember. They have welcomed her into their home on multiple occasions and treated her as part of the family. She couldn't be more grateful for their entire family! Mr. Bennett even let Ann stay after she created an entire playlist of songs played at Lambeau field for during Packer games so that Mr. Bennett could feel like he was there. The kicker there that is that Mr. Bennett is definitely not a Packer fan! :P Nick and Ann are honored to have Mr. Bennett perform their ceremony!
We couldn't do it without...
