Wedding Party

Bailey Reed Ziemski

Bride

Jessie Lee Harwood

Groom

Shaylee Ann Thatcher

Maid of Honor

I’m Shaylee! I’m Baileys Maid of Honor and best friend (I think?) of almost 20 years!! When I’m not obsessing over how perfect Bailey is, I’m with my other *legally married* wife, Blake, and our 4 cats. Yes, 4 cats. We have a problem. I would like to think of myself as the Phoebe of our friendship but, I’m more the Monica; my favorite pastime is cleaning (blame my mother). If I’m not cleaning, I’m usually hyper-fixating on some random craft. I’m so excited and so honored to be a part of Bailey and Jessie’s big day!  

Daniel James Frandsen

Officiant/Groomsman

Hey all, Danny here! Groomsman and Officiant for the cute couple. I can confidently say this will be THE BEST Wedding I will ever lead. I currently live in NJ (a fancy start-up brought me East) but Northern MN will always be my home. Bailey likes to say my relationship with Jessie is far too similar to that of Cash and his Teddy Bear (whatever that means…). I count myself lucky to call Bailey and Jessie such great friends for the past several years. We have shared many adventures together from the race track, fun times exploring NYC, moving me out of California & road-tripping back to MN, 4th of July at the resort and so on. Jessie and I share a love of cars while Bailey and I share a love of the cute dogs of instagram and an odd sense of humor. I am excited to get these two hitched finally.

Casey Lynn Domagall

Matron of Honor

Well, hello! I’m Casey aka The Matron of Honor aka my Sister’s Best Friend Highjacker aka Bailey’s Self Proclaimed Big Sissy. A little 411 on what this party of a person is all about: I am first and foremost a mommy to the most amazing little girl, Millie. I also spend my days slinging coffee as a General Manager for Caribou Coffee.  When you think of the epitome of a Disney adult, I fit the picture. Picture “what if a human representation of Halloween obsessed over all the magic of Walt Disney” and you get me. (The picture is crazy outdated, get off my back.) in fact, some of my favorite memories spent with Bailey were at Disneyworld. Growing up and sharing all these beautiful experiences and memories with Bailey have been something I will treasure forever. I could not be more excited to stand by her side as she and Jessie become Mr. and Mrs. Let’s crank that Soulja Boy and celebrate their love!

Andre Robert Wenzel

Best Man

Hello everyone! I’m Andre, and I have the honor of being Jessie’s best man on his special day. As a semi-pro race car driver (sometimes, occasionally who’s counting?), my life has always been about speed, competition, and adrenaline. But nothing compares to the thrill of standing by a best friend as he embarks on this new adventure with Bailey. Jessie and I go way back to when he first ate dirt on his street bike many years ago—since then, our friendship has been a wild ride filled with friendly competitions and epic adventures. He’s always been the “yes man” in our duo, ready to take on any challenge that comes our way. When he met Bailey, I knew he had found someone just as adventurous and spirited, and I couldn’t be happier for them. On a personal note, I’m happily married to my amazing wife, Katie, who is my all time favorite person and with me in every aspect of life. Together, we’ve transitioned from single-couple adventures to unforgettable vacations with our friends. I’m excited to celebrate Jessie and Bailey’s new chapter together. (my wife may have helped write this, she is way better with words.)

Lexi Thais Bissonette

Bridesmaid

I'm Lexi, the sister of the beautiful bride! Some of you may already know me, but for those of you who don't, I love to read. Ask me about Fourth Wing or some SJM books. When I'm not reading, I'm hanging with my husband, Jordan, and Bailey's fur niece, Aspen. What do I do for work, you may ask? I am the Schmitt/Chandler of the real world. I can tell you, but you probably won't remember that I am a national account manager for office coffee, vending, and micro markets. Tequila is the name of the game. Can't wait to celebrate Bailey and Jessie on their beautiful & exciting day!

Benjamin Scott Ziemski

Groomsman

Hello everyone, I am Big Ben, baileys older “smarter” brother. I am one of the groomsmen in the wedding (thanks to Jessie asking me). I spend most of my time at the golf course either working or golfing. I also like to hunt, fish, travel, and spend time with family, friends and Morgan who is my girlfriend and also Baileys personal attendant for the wedding. Jessie is one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. He is always putting others first before himself and always offers to help others. He is especially good at getting everyone else tipsy from handing out yag/cherry bombs left and right at any function. I can’t wait to celebrate and have a few with you both on your special day!

Johanna Jo Greniger

Bridesmaid

Hi everyone! I’m Jojo and I am so lucky to be a bridesmaid to this beautiful girl. Bailey has been by my side through middle school, high school, college, and beyond; we’ve stayed best friends even when Bailey moved to New York and I moved to California! She stood beside me on my wedding day, and now I can’t wait to stand next to her on hers. You can find me teaching middle school history, at the yoga studio, reading books by the beach, or having outdoor adventures! I feel super lucky to be a part of Bailey and Jessie’s special day.

Jonathan Benjamin Miner

Groomsman

Hello everyone, I am Little Ben, the smaller but much wiser of Bailey's brothers. I am one of Jessie’s groomsman (thank you boo). I spend most of my time enjoying the screams of children and trying not to rip my hair out, I like skating, and spending my time on the lake out at Wagathaka! Ever since I met Jessie I loved him, when I heard Bailey was with an older man I didn’t know what to expect at first, but Jessie proved me wrong pretty quick. For an old guy he sure knows how to have a good time #jägbombs. He always puts other people first, it doesn’t matter if you planned something a weekend ago or need help at the drop of a hat, Jessie is there. And as for Bailey, my beautiful Big Sis. You have always had my back no matter what, you helped me through some of my hardest times, and came to me with a different approach and understanding always. You never let me feel left out, if you ever noticed me down on my self you were the first to be there for me. I also love watching you love my kids, they love you auntie Bailey and uncle Jessie! And I love you both, I can’t wait to celebrate with you!🤍

Hi, my name is Gray and one of Jessie’s grossman (also the fastest friend he has, sorry Andre) I was actually friends with Bailey back in the highschool days going to same parties, I was the bad influence. I became friends with Jessie through cars. Lots of time spent together in the car and at the track. When Jessie and Bailey started dating, I was excited, “hey I know her”. We’ve gone on several trips together and I always end up being the personal photographer. Wouldn’t change it for the world. Love you both. You’re already married in my eyes.

Katie Sue Wenzel

Bridesmaid

Hello everyone! I’m Katie spouse to the best man Andre, and I am so excited to be a part of Bailey and Jessie’s special day. The story of how we met is a long one, but to keep it brief: Our families have known each other for longer than I can count on two hands and feet! I was the older one of the “kids” normally the one to supervise. I grew older and went about my way and started my own family, and a few years later I was beyond thrilled to see our paths reconnect. Hearing of this amazing women Jessie had found only to be surprised with Bailey! Already relieved and excited at the same time that our future adventures were going to be nothing shy of the best. Holding true to this day years later and so many shenanigan we’ve always had the best of times no matter what we are doing. The memories we’ve created as couples are truly magical—each moment feels like something out of a storybook. It’s easy to overlook the friendships that blossom later in life, but I am incredibly grateful for the bond that Bailey and I share today. As she steps into this beautiful new chapter with Jessie, I’m here to support her every step of the way. I can’t wait to celebrate this special occasion with all of you and make even more unforgettable memories together.

Brady Robert Prebeck

Groomsman/Beer Boy

I'm Brady, Jessie's backup bride if Bailey gets cold feet. I get the honor of being a groomsmen/beer boy for their special day! I've known of Jessie for quite a few years, and he's been one of my absolute best friends since the day we became official friends. We went from not knowing each other, to being the weirdest, goofiest, closest friends. I've known Bailey for a long time through mutual friends, so when they got together I knew it was going to be a lasting one. They just clicked! She was able to put up with Jessie and his having a different vehicle every other day, his random adventures to buy vehicles, and his weirdness! Little about me, I'm married to the love of my life, big family of 4 kids, always busy with our kids sports! Living my best life! Anyways! I'm so happy for these two and cannot wait to celebrate with them! It's gonna be a great time full of chuck norris' and jag bombs, Jessie's famous shots!

Personal Attendant

Hi everyone!! I’m one of Bailey’s personal attendants. A little about me: I went to Mtn. Iron Buhl HS (yes I’m from that side of the range..) and then to Duluth for dental hygiene school. On my spare time not looking at teeth all day I love to workout, spend quality time with my friends, and play with our little bundle of dog joy Nelly! My boyfriend is one of the groomsmen Ben and we’ve been together for almost 3 years already, crazy how time flies. I obviously met bailey through her brother and love being a part of their family. We’re both so excited for Jessie and Bailey in this amazing moment in their lives. They are an amazing couple together and some of the most caring people you will meet. I’m so excited to be there for the big day and wish them love and happiness in their new chapter together!

Alisha April Wicklund

Personal Attendant

Aloha, my name is Alisha Wicklund. I met Bailey at Brainerd International Raceway after the boys had a fun day of race car shenanigans. It’s was during the evenings that Katie Wenzel and I would try to promote dance parties. I remember Bailey eagerly  joining our efforts by wearing glow necklaces and dancing with us…it was then we became friends. From then on we have met up for car events where Bailey, Katie and I have become quite the trio of bringing on the fun and fabulous outfits! The races may involve cars but our outfit planning takes top priority! LOL I thrive on planning, creating experiences and capturing the moments.  One of these moments included Jessie telling me he was going to propose to Bailey while visiting us in Hawaii! I got into planning mode by figuring out a location where he could pop the question and I could record everything! Not to brag, But …I’m bragging…We got to be the ones to witness their engagement! I cannot wait to continue this journey and be part of their wedding day as one of her personal attendants!
