Wedding Party

Erin Dunphy

Maid of Honor

Erin and Amanda have been best friends for 9 years after meeting at Marian University and share many of the same interests; claiming to be twins at heart! Some interests they share are the same love of are dogs (Nordy and Shelby especially!), Harry Potter, hockey, beer tasting, and punk music. While living in Minneapolis, Erin, Michael, and Amanda have become an inseparable trio! The group loves to try new breweries, food (especially Asian!), and are always on the lookout for fun events! The group can get into trouble when they see an appetizing menu!

Amanda "Waigs" Waigand

Maid of Honor

Amanda met Waigs in the first weeks of University at Marian. Amanda walked by Waig's dorm room about 15 times (literally) before mustering up courage to ask if she was on the Women's hockey team and for a ride to the team party. Despite the awkward first meeting, Waigs warmed up to Amanda's weird ways and the two became inseparable throughout their 4 years of college together. Amanda and Waigs are known to make some impulsive decisions, including their matching tattoos and purchase of live creatures (shout-out to Willie the lizard!).

Tiana Taranto

Bridesmaid

Tiana and Amanda met in Amanda's home town of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. They officially met in high school, where they shared many of the same classes and played on the same basketball and volleyball team. Amanda and Tiana shared many awkward years of growth together and love to look back and laugh. One of their most memorable awkward moments was when the two created a dance to "Crank That - Soulja Boy" and uploaded it to Facebook (face palm). Tiana has quite easily made her way into Michael's heart with charcuterie and any/all Italian food. She is always sure to give him a goodie bag with extras when we leave! We don't call her Momma Tee for nothing!

Elspeth "Ellie" Deans

Bridesmaid

Amanda and Ellie first met when Amanda was in her last year at Marian University, and Ellie was in her first year. Whenever they hung out, Amanda and Ellie were constantly laughing. One of Amanda and Ellie's smartest moments was when they took a cab after a night out in college, but lost their money to pay for it. Ellie had to go inside and ask people for money for Amanda to get home... but found her $40 in her purse the next morning. Nordy especially appreciates Ellie, after he pooped on her carpet and she still loves him!! Amanda appreciates Ellie's strong, caring, and fun spirit!

Amanda "Siiro"

Bridesmaid

Amanda and Siiro met at Marian University. Siiro was a defenseman and the two shared many laughs together on and off the ice. Amanda and Siiro always find a way to have fun and share many (blurry) memories of their fun times. One of these blurry memories for Siiro includes the time she skated straight into the goal post while Amanda was in net. Amanda thought someone hit her into the post... but nope. Siiro had the red paint on her helmet to prove it! The two love to travel together and consider each other travel buddies. When one has an idea for a new adventure, the other is always on board! Siiro also appreciates Michael making sure she is always hydrated when visiting!

Ali "Glazer" Litkenhuse

Bridesmaid

Glazer and Amanda met while attending Marian University and were both goalies for the Women's hockey team. Amanda and Glazer's relationship will prove that there is no bond like a goalie bond! While living together for 2 years, the two shared hobbies including figure skating in goalie equipment, stacking the pads whenever possible, drinking beer with Tilly, and quoting Step Brothers (or any other movie worth quoting). Because Amanda and Glazer are only a month apart in age, they loved celebrating each other's birthdays during college like their own. Everyone needs birthday hype!! The two share a unique bond that simply cannot be replicated.

Matthew Baldwin

Best Man

Matt and Mike met before their own existence; going from womb-mates to roommates! Being the twins they are, Matt and Mike have gone through all stages of life together and wouldn’t have it any other way! Matt and Mike love to watch games together (Go Packers!) and stay active golfing, completed a triathlon together, or finding fun events to attend. The only problem the twins have is matching accidentally!

John Inloes

Groomsman

Michael and John first met in 5th grade, playing football. They went to different schools, but rekindled their friendship in high school where they both attended the same school. John first met Amanda by friending her on Facebook and writing a funny joke on her wall (lol), and again when John visited Michael at Marian. Since then, John has treated Randy like one of the boys and the group hangs out often!

Jacob Ryd

Groomsman

Michael met Jacob at Marian University, where the two were freshman roommates and hockey teammates. Since then, the bro-mance has only continued. Mike and Jacob spent a lot of their days hanging out and playing video games in their townhouse, while drinking beer (of course). Jacob became like family over the years, attending many of the Baldwin holiday events.

Michael Alexander

Groomsman

Mike A. first met his future brother-in-law, Mike B., while visiting Amanda at Marian and watching her hockey games. Since then, Mike A. continued visiting Amanda and Mike B. with his frequent road trips to Milwaukee and Minneapolis. The group attends yearly Green Bay Packer games, Milwaukee Brewer games, or any other event that involves a party bus, or the Brat House. Mike A. is particularly one of Nordy’s favorite people!

Adam Baldwin

Groomsman

Adam is Michael’s oldest brother. When Adam and Michael get together, they are usually talking about different types of beers and liquors (mainly whiskey) that they’ve tried and enjoyed. One of the Bride and Groom's funniest memories they often look back on with Adam & Sophia is when the group gave a ground-breaking performance at trivia... where they won a 6-pack for last place!! It was a below-average effort, but winning the beer is what counts!

Daniel Baldwin

Groomsman

Daniel is Michael’s big brother, whom Michael considers his frequent golf buddy. Since Daniel has started a family, the two see the course less and spend time playing with Blake and Brady, Daniel’s two children. Michael enjoys all his time with his niece and nephew, however, does plan to bring Daniel out of retirement and back on the golf course once the kids are older! Or better yet, when they're old enough to learn a few tricks from their Uncle Mike!

Nordy Baldwin

Honorary Goodest Boy

Eric Alfuth

Nordy’s Personal Assistant

Need I say more? Eric loves Nordy, which is why Nordy chose him to accompany him while Mom & Dad are busy getting married! Eric is Nordy’s biggest advocate, always demanding Nordy get unlimited amounts of treats & pets!!
