Wedding Party
Emily Bethhauser
Maid of Honor
Sister, Maid of Honor, built-in BFF. Honoring us with her presence all the way from New York City, you'll be sure to catch Emily out on the dance floor with a drink in her hand. She loves nothing more than talking about her job in the Big Apple, so please feel free to ask. Thanks for flying in, Em!
Sophia Mazurek
Bridesmaid
The most loyal friend to exist. Sophia and Erika have been best friends since Erika's sophomore year of high school (aka 12 years - woah!) dating back to their Germantown Girls Golf era. This day would truly not be happening without Sophia's influence all those years ago.
Katelyn Phillips
Bridesmaid
Life of the party and most fun person around. Katelyn and Erika met freshman year of college at Drake University where they first bonded over the horrors of pharmacy school. We are beyond honored for Katelyn's never ending support - today and every other day.
Emily Doran
Bridesmaid
A symbol of the night, draped in the cloak of shadows, she… is… BATMA- Emily, sister to the groom and definitely doesn’t fight crime at night (although her favorite color is black and really likes bats for some reason). Emily is making a career helping those who most need it, and though she is a bit prickly at times, there is no one you’d rather have as a sister.
Michael Doran
Best Man
Mikey! Brother and best man to the groom. Always had to keep up with the older brother and neighbor boys, and as a result is the breaker of not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4 collarbones. Biggest heart of anyone you’ll meet and may or may not be sporting his infamous bathrobe the next time you see him.
Alex Schlee
Groomsman
Friend of the groom, NIU lineman turned marathoner and codes for a living. Alex (who?), I mean Schlee, is the most genuine person you will ever meet and happens to be the world’s best gaming and running partner. He would probably be down for a 10k right now if you asked him. Did I mention he’s 6 foot 5, single with a bicep vein?
Luke Trudell
Groomsman
Friend of the groom since ’05. (In)formally known as the JYD (junk yard dog). Ultimate hype man and the most loyal friend anyone could ask for. Best glowup since Giannis Antetokounmpo. 90% chance he switches to jorts at some point during the reception. Don’t get him started on Matt LaFleur.
Tony Koepnick
Groomsman
Cousin to the groom and the unquestioned best fort builder in Grandma’s basement of the early 2000’s. Steven’s (unofficial) second brother growing up and proud dog father to Winnie. He has the best sense of humor and brings laughter to every Koepnick get-together, and delivers some dangerous roasts… don’t believe me? Just ask Michael “Uke” Doran.
David Wood
Usher
Friend, comedian, and best host you'll ever meet. Thanks to David, the years spent in pharmacy school were anything but boring. David knows how to make a mean Moscow mule, owns enough sneakers to wear a new pair each day of the year, and has killer aim when it comes to his tee shots (maybe don't ask him about this though...)
Jake Sepka
Usher
The man, the myth, the legend. Jake and Erika lived on the same dorm floor freshman year of college and thanks to Jake's sparkling personality, he became one of Erika's first college friends. You can always count on Jake to make you feel welcome, bring the sarcasm, and cause just a tiny bit of stress - we wouldn't have it any other way!
Barry Bethhauser-Doran
Dog of Honor
The goodest, snuggliest, silliest boy to exist. You will likely find Barry with a sock in his mouth following Steven wherever he goes. Careful though, Barry isn't too keen on personal space but LOVES meeting new people.
