To our amazing son. Seeing the way you look at Laura makes our hearts full. You've found the girl that brings out the very best of you and we are very happy to welcome her into our family. Wishing you a lifetime of happiness and love. We love you both very much!!

Erin Frank

Maid of Honor

Hey, I'm Erin! Spell it however you'd like, I am the maid of honor and I have been basically neighbors with Laura since preschool! We both fed into our musical obsessions in high school and I pride myself with being the person who showed Laura Hamilton even though she denies it. I love riding my motorcycle and will be the biggest nerd you'll meet, hope to see you at the big day!

Avery Johnson

Best Man

Noah and I first met when we were in second grade, back in 2007, and have been friends ever since. We lived down the road from each other until 2015 and spent every summer outside with our friends, playing sports and screwing around. The group mostly gathered at Noah’s house because he had the pool and the basketball hoop. I’ve busted doors off the hinges at his house (sorry Dean Bushmaker) and he’s busted huge holes in the drywall at mine. Throughout high school and college we mainly played Call of Duty, Madden, Grand Theft Auto V, or whatever video game our group wanted to play. Nowadays we typically drink beer and watch sports, which involves less destruction of property for the most part, unless you’re counting the discoloration of carpeting. We’ve seen a lot and done a lot together for the last 20 years, and now, with much gratitude, I have the honor of standing with him on the most important day of his life. I would like to end with a special thank you to Dean and Lisa Bushmaker for giving birth to my oldest and greatest friend, but he’s all yours now Laura.

Chetanya Shivakumar

Bridesmaid

My name is Chetanya, I met Laura in college and we just adopted each other. We moved in together after just 7 months of knowing each other. Soon after I met her family and was adopted by them too; thus my new nickname Coco was born. (Let me tell you how to get on the wrong side of my adopted dad: drive on the grass at their house and you will see 50 shades of anger. “I still love you” -Patrick) I love her and am very protective of Laura, she understands me even when I don’t speak much.

Trevor Jenquin

Groomsman

I’m Trevor, and I am one of Noah’s good friends. I met Noah back in highschool and we have benn joined in the same group ever since. Alongside weekends in the UP with our friend group, Noah was nice enough to invite our friend group up to a great fishing place in Canada, took us for 6 days, can’t wait to go again. My fun fact is I have a +15 handicap in golf.

Megan Roberts

Bridesmaid

I met Laura in college while we worked together at Maurice’s, and we’ve been close friends ever since. Over time she even became an honorary aunt to my cats. Fun facts about me are that I love coffee, reading, traveling, and I’ve been told you can usually find me by following the loud voice in the room. I’m so excited to celebrate Laura and Noah on their big day!

Logan Joachim

Groomsman

Hi, I’m Logan I’m a high school friend of Noah’s. I first met Noah through my brother as he was in a higher grade than I was and over many hours of gaming we grew closer as friends. A fun fact about myself is that I don't smoke or drink but you would swear I'm on something!

Chloe Crossman

Bridesmaid

Hi, I’m Chloe and I have been besties with Laura since we met as coworkers at a law firm in August 2022. A fun fact about us is that we never call each other by our government names, I am Carl and Laura is Larry. After our law firm closed, Larry and I worked different jobs for about a year until finally she decided she couldn’t bear not seeing my beautiful face every day, so I got her a job working with me again at another law firm. Larry is my absolute favorite person to make crafts, spend money, eat Sai Ram, and have tummy time with. Larry and Carl are inseparable (and sometimes insufferable). My personal fun fact is that I’m stupid good at claw machines!

Jesse Crooks

Groomsman

I'm Jesse and I’ve known Noahsince middle school. A fun fact of mine is that people are always happy to see me. (I deliver beer.) Noah and I have been friends for years and have enjoyed playing baseball, video games and quite a bit of fishing. While I haven’t known Laura for long, she fits right in with our friend group. She is fun to hang out with and has similar interests and sense of humor as we all do.

Georgia Danforth

Bridesmaid

My name is Georgia. I met the bride through us both being bridesmaids for another wedding. If only Megan had introduced us sooner. We love game nights with the other girls and watching reality tv shows together. Anytime Laura is around is a good time with lots of laughs!

Austin McDonough

Groomsman

Hey, my name is Austin, and I was initially introduced to Noah when gaming with him online and we did go to the same high school, Bay Port High School, although he graduated a couple years before me. Later down the line, in February 2024, I was introduced to Laura not too long after her and Noah started seeing each other while Noah was cat-sitting at the cat’s house, as we call it. Noah’s cabin has played an important role in his relationship with Laura as it is the site from which Noah proposed and thus became engaged with Laura, and I have had the privilege of being invited to his cabin a few times since the relationship was established, however, the first time that Noah invited me up to his cabin was back in July of 2021, a few days prior to the Milwaukee Bucks beating the Phoenix Suns in the NBA Finals and remember watching the Bucks win their 3rd game in that series on the Saturday night that we were up there.

Kaden Kaczorowski

Bridesman

I'm Kaden, I had the pleasure of meeting Laura at Fox Valley Tech through DECA, and it didn't take long for us to discover that we had many common friends and interests. We found ourselves hanging out a lot at various clubs and social events. When I first met Noah, it was easy to see he was a great fit; Laura was so comfortable around him, which made it clear they had a special connection.

Jacob Meyer

Groomsman

My name is Jacob and I enjoy long walks on the beach and watching the sunset. Oh, I am also friends with the groom. I have known Noah since the early days of little league baseball but our friendship blossomed in high school and we have been close ever since. Since Noah and Laura started dating I have gotten to know both of them more and I cannot wait to see them get married.

Aran Walter

Officiant

Hi there :-) I'm an Episcopal priest and I was Laura's youth pastor "back in the day". I'm just trying to live my life according to the teachings of a Jewish rabbi (that'd be Jesus). A little fun fact about me is that I love rice crispy treats!
