Wedding Party
Natalie
Maid of Honor
Natalie is the bride's best friend from college. They met as members of the same sorority. Nat is full of life, tells it like it is, and is a fellow die-hard Swiftie. She loves hard ciders, her dog Wrigley, and Indiana Basketball
Hannah
Bridesmaid
Hannah is the bride's sister. Hannah is a cat-loving, bookworm with a competitive streak. She loves board games, St. Louis Blues Hockey, and Harry Potter (probably more than anyone you've ever met).
Kaitlyn
Bridesmaid
Kaitlyn is the bride's college bestie and roommate. They were members of the same sorority and could be found together at the Franklin Street bars several nights a week. She loves music festivals, Christmas (like A LOT), and celebrating her birthday with the bride (they're 3 days apart)
Megan
Bridesmaid
Megan is the bride's grad school bestie and roommate. Also known as "Megatron" to the groom. She is a fellow OT and the kindest, most considerate person you may possibly ever meet. She loves baking, popcorn, and emo/metal music (fun fact: Megan once took screaming lessons to learn how to sing metal songs)
Carley
Bridesmaid
Carley is the bride's college bestie and roommate. They were also members of the same sorority. Carley is a kind-hearted, sassy friend, rolled together with the cutest southern accent you've ever heard. She loves her 3 dogs, her family, and Taco Bell. She recently kicked cancer's butt this year and we couldn't be happier or more proud of her
Jenny
Bridesmaid
Jenny is the bride's cousin, but more like a big sister. She is funny, kind, and the bride's biggest cheerleader. Jenny is a recently converted cat-lover! She loves her two sweet boys, Raylan and Hudson, a good road trip, and going to concerts!
The Neubauer Girls
Flower Girl
Our sweet, precious, silly nieces have been gracious enough to share the role of Flower Girl with one another. With 5 perfect girls, we could have never picked one! These girls are so special to us and we couldn't imagine our special day without them. We know Gemma, Margot, Annie, Harriet, and Claire will be the stars of the show, and we wouldn't have it any other way!
Karl
Best Man
Karl has played many roles in the groom’s life including Best Friend, Teammate (the groom always made sure his water bottle was full), Mentor, Halloween Party Host, Roommate, and now Best Man. They likely met in preschool but who knows - the groom simply doesn’t remember a life without a Karl in it. The groom admires Karl’s unequivocally loyal friendship, his travel pursuits, and the way he still seems open to the idea of attaching a sidecar to his motorcycle for the groom to ride in.
Jordan
Groomsman
Jordan is the groom’s middlest brother whose crowning achievement has been creating three of the cutest flower girls you’ve ever seen. The groom really looks up to Jordan, albeit, not literally. Jordan is a smart, patient, and talented human being who ranks far better in all of the Quality Father categories than he does in sports betting. The groom admires Jordan’s athletic achievements in spite of his height, the way he sacrificed his body at G-Allens to try to diffuse a situation, and his math skills.
Zach
Groomsman
Zach is the groom’s eldest brother whose crowning achievement was bringing the groom two of the cutest flower girls you’ve ever seen. Negative Ten Points to the Zach House for moving those two adorable flower girls to South Carolina. The groom similarly looks up to Zach - this time, both literally and figuratively. The groom admires Zach’s creativity, his heart of gold, and for being a compassionate, loving father whose girls fear how much they love him.
Luke
Groomsman
Luke and the groom met on the freshman dorm floor in college. They bonded over a shared interest in throwing a frisbee, drinking Rolling Rock, and of course, fishing. While Luke has shown some promise in the sport of fishing, he still has quite a ways to go and it’s important to remind him of this whenever an opportunity arises. The groom admires Luke’s determination (especially when getting out-angled by the groom), his passion for a good spreadsheet, and also his commitment to being a really good dad.
Josh
Groomsman
Josh has merely tolerated the groom since meeting on the freshman dorm floor in college. Sophomore year, they graciously cohabited a broom closet that passed as a bedroom if you squinted hard enough. Josh calls these the “glory years” and still pines for them to this day. Josh and the groom have a rich history that includes a snowbank in a McDonald’s parking lot, a phantom squirrel in Mount Neubauer, a Charter cable box, and that hilarious time when Josh crashed the groom’s car. The groom admires Josh’s bravery (especially when he admitted to crashing the groom’s car), the way he “takes no prisoners” in a group text, and the way his laugh can either cure cancer or cause it, still not quite sure yet.
Jack
Groomsman
Jack is a tall drink of water whom the groom met on the freshman dorm floor in college. One fateful day, the groom was trying to get a peaceful lunch by himself when Jack, the friendliest and most intrusive man in all of Wisconsin, invited himself along. Ever since then, these two have been peas and carrots - except for one weekend at Country USA in Oshkosh, WI. The groom really admires Jack’s height, his musical abilities, and his pride in his Carney heritage.
Paul
Officiant
Paul and the groom met on the Newborn Hospital Floor in Devils Lake, North Dakota. Paul and the Bride met at the Loon Cafe in Minneapolis. The Bride and Groom are honored to have Paul officiate their wedding. Paul’s constant optimism, encouragement, and unreal ability to be the world’s silliest goose makes him fit for the role. The bride and groom admire Paul’s ability to tell a story as if it’s the first time anyone in the room has heard it, his inability to tell the difference between the 6 and the 10 in Dominos, and his sound, fatherly advice.
Aaron
Usher
Aaron and the groom met on the freshman dorm floor in college. Aaron is one of the Groom’s smartest and most talented friends and sometimes the groom wonders why Aaron hangs out with him. The groom thinks it’s partly due to the day he taught Aaron how to make a hot buttered rum. Unfortunately for Aaron, the groom doesn’t know how to make a Hot Buttered Rum. After that many drinks, however, the groom feels like he can do anything. The groom will always admire how much impact Aaron’s man-bun can have, Aaron’s ability to pretend like day old coffee and a butter pat tastes good, and his ability to stay humble despite being so gifted.
Austin
Usher
Austin and the groom met on the freshman dorm floor in college. Austin was immediately on the groom’s S-LIST for playing his music too dang loud but then a Red Hot Chili Peppers song came on and the unbreakable bond was formed. The shared interests don’t end with music, however. Bourbon, Golf, Truck Stuff, Wet Feet, Chickens, Skiing (water AND snow), Euchre, and the Green Bay Packers are all things that bring Austin and the groom to life. The groom admires the way Austin ALWAYS puts others before himself, Austin’s determination to always be good at really hard things like golf, and the way he simply never messes up making an Old Fashioned.
Ben
Usher
Ben and the groom met on the freshman dorm floor in college and instantly bonded over their shared love of Minnesota. The groom will never forget when they made a pact to one day move back to the promised land of Minnesota so they can golf, ski, play Euchre, and attend Lake Street Dive concerts together. Ben has always been a major source of encouragement for the groom when the groom would doubt himself, especially on a ski hill or when considering having another beer. The groom admires Ben’s intelligence, his ability to make and execute a plan that nobody actually reads prior to a trip, and his patience when nobody knows what the plan is.
Shahrose
Usher
Shahrose and the groom met on the freshman dorm floor in college. The groom recalls Shahrose inviting himself along to play basketball and then fouling the groom so hard the groom had to take a timeout for a good, long cry in the bathroom. Shahrose has always been so good at convincing the groom he can do hard things like try to be a doctor. When Organic Chemistry had other thoughts, Shahrose was right there to tell the groom that the world needs people with regular jobs too. The groom admires Shahroses passion for basically everything, his shared love for cats, and the way he sang the song “Battle Scars” after he tore his ACL skiing.
