Wedding Party
Jen Paciga
Maid of Honor
One of Natalie's oldest friends. Natalie served as a bridesmaid in her wedding back in 2012 and is Godmother to her son, Owen. Jen's Husband Mike also works in golf!

Ryan Jesse
Best Man
Mike's only brother, he was the obvious choice for Best Man! Very excited to join us on our big day!
Dan Basgall
Father of the Bride
What can be said about Dan, a lot. Referred to as Mr. Wonderful by Peggy's friends. as when asked how he is doing, will often reply with "Wonderful". Natalie is Dan's only daughter, so for all you other dad's out there this may be an emotional but sweet day for him.
Peggy Basgall
Mother of the Bride
Peg/Peggy/Margaret/Margie a woman that goes by many names, but most importantly Natalie's mom. She will more than likely be telling everyone that they "should take a picture" at any sweet moment throughout the night! One of the best moms out there!
Joan Jesse
Mother of the Groom
Joan as you can assume is Mike's mom. Some of Mike's sweetest memories of his mom is when he was assigned as Santa's helper because he was 4 and 6 years older than Christine and Ryan. But he remembers helping to shop and wrap gifts for his siblings when they were younger. Joan is on Mike and Natalie's bowling team "Mike and the Gutter Girls".
