Bride
Groom
Matron of Honor
My older and wiser sister. She is the best mama to my cutie flower girl, Zoe, and the wife to our officiant Ben! They recently went on their 10 year anniversary trip and highly recommended their resort, so we will be going there for our honeymoon! She has the eye of detail who I am grateful for assisting with many wedding DIYs.
Best Man
My red headed little brother. I am extremely proud of him and am overjoyed that he will be my best man on my big day (pending he can get military approved leave....) If you'd like to know what it was like to raise Joe &I as kids please go find my mom, she would be happy to explain it to after a few eye twitches, and a glass or two of wine!
Bridesmaid
This lifelong friendship dates back to our kindergarten classroom (22 years ago?!). Our sweet innocent little selves used to "steal" the chocolate milk from the lunch line because we thought it was free :/ I have so many cherished memories with Ash; horse camp, ski resorts and Disney just to name a few!
Groomsman
I met David in college and quickly found a close, trustworthy, and role model level friend. If you couldn't tell from the above picture, I was lucky enough to be in David and his wife Alex's wedding a few years ago and I now that he is in mine, I see the makings of a true life long friendship.
Bridesmaid
High school gymnastics brought us together where we quickly became friends! I am grateful for her friendship over the years from transitioning from high school to college, and then grad school. She is a newly wed herself and I was honored to be a part of her special day as well!
Groomsman
Chris is a life long friend I made in college. We became fast friends; bonding over a similar love of talking trash to each other, being active, and keeping incredibly clean apartments during our time as roommates (might have been one sided cleanliness). I'm exciting to have Chris at my wedding, as Hannah and I just experienced Chris and his wife Ariel's too!
Bridesmaid
High school marching band, bus routes and our first jobs at the nursing home across the street from where we lived brought us to together and become friends. You could likely find Michele the morning after at Caribou or Bruegger's bagels where we have our dates! An important note on Michele is while my family was on vacation, she assisted in rescuing my family dog Max when he ran away, we cannot repay her enough!
Groomsman
I also met Dan in college and was lucky enough to be able to be in his and his wife Lauren's wedding! If you run into Dan, good luck keeping up with his high energy and fast pace! Dan was the first person to diagnose me with Blinkicitis (Diagnosis – where Groom can’t keep eyes open in pictures), helped me catch it early in life. Although I haven’t fully beaten blinkicitis I am proud to say it is in remission thanks to protection (sunglasses). Dan is quick witted, well rounded, and wise/mature beyond his years. Everyone needs a Dan in their life circle.
Bridesmaid
We met while going to the University of Minnesota in our sorority, Alpha Chi Omega. Alyssa was the roomie who reminded us to "drink 1 water for every 1 drink" and whom I shared a bunk bed with senior year. Our nightly bunk bed chats and movie/Mario Kart nights are fond memories of my time at the U. I am lucky enough to be in her wedding next July and go through this wedding planning process with!
Groomsman
Jeremiah and I met in college and I quickly was drawn to his good natured, silly, and curious personality. He is incredibly trustworthy, authentic and would drop anything to help a friend in need. Surprise - the groom was also in Jeremiah’s wedding to his wife Emily! He is a recent father and I’m happy to call him a lifelong friend!
Bridesmaid
Sav and I attended St. Kate's doctorate of physical therapy program together. We became fast friends are carpooled together living only a mile apart! Our study sessions and brewery game nights got me through the rigorous program. We now we both work for M Health Fairview as official PTs!
Honorary Groomsman (1991 - 2019)
Hannah's older brother who suddenly passed away in 2019. He is remembered by his reluctant smiles in family photos, competitiveness during video games and Monopoly, as well as his wit. We miss him dearly and know he would approve of his little sister's choice in husband.
Personal Attendant
My second cousin who I had the pleasure of being the personal attendant for when she got married at the same venue as ours back in 2016! My sister and I made "I Do Crew" capes and surprised her with them as we felt like superheros trying to be ahead of mishaps.
Flower Girl
Hannah's sweet and intelligent 3 year old niece! She has taken this job very seriously as she was found using her Easter basket and hair bows practicing for sprinkling flower petals down the aisle! We are now working on the term "Uncle Brian".
