Wedding Party
Shannon Seglem
Maid of Honor
Shannon & Vicki met in 6th grade & played on the same soccer team together. From crazy sleepovers to traveling all over Asia, their memories are countless. Shannon & Vicki have been best friends since wazing hair was in, 18 years to be exact. They even taught English in Thailand together& shared the same room for an entire year & didn't kill each other. Shannon lived basically in our middle school parking lot so her house was obviously the place to be. The very first time Shannon & Vicki got detention was when they snuck over to Shannon's during recess. They have many memories traveling, prank calling, and wrestling! Shannon lives in Chicago so they are notorious for talking on the phone for hours a day. She is an amazing friend&Vicki could not imagine her day without Shannon by her side.
Joshua Coltrane
Best Man
Brother. As Bryan's older brother Josh was the first to introduce Bryan to many of his childhood experiences; Ninja Mutant Turtles, X-men comic books, E.T, skateboarding, hacky sack and soccer. Through his academic achievements, numerous athletic endeavors and eclectic taste in music Joshua perfected the older brother role model rarely seen outside of movies. Aside from the regular beat downs over the TV remote Joshua was there to guide and help Bryan grow up. From camping trips in the Appalachian mountains to sailing the coast of North Carolina and raising two beautiful girls Joshua will always be a role model for Bryan. Joshua resides in New Bern, NC with his wife Colleen and daughters Amelia and Violet.
Kari Janson
Maid of Honor
Kari & Vicki met in the 5th grade & were inseparable since then. They were in the same class & they both enjoyed being jokesters, soccer, Jack's pizza,&many more. Vicki remembers going over to Kari's a lot when she was growing up & building igloos, watching Disney,&instant messaging on AIM. Whenever Vicki is having a bad day, Kari knows exactly what to say to make her stomach hurt from laughing & she always gives the best advice. Kari & Vicki get very goofy together & life truly would not be as much fun without Kari. Kari has lived in Omaha, NE the past 11 years & the distance has not changed a thing in their relationship. Kari is a very smart, loyal,&joyful person that Vicki is thankful to have in her life. We can't wait to have her apart of our special day & appreciate her so much.
Matt Wolf
Groomsman
Best friend. Bryan first met Matt during grade school when they were both interested in the same girl. A few years later and no longer fighting for the girl they began playing soccer and traveling together. Matt has never been the one to settle down and through the years Bryan has been on many trips with Matt throughout the west coast. From almost pooping their pants together in Idaho on the road to Las Vegas to seeing the Avett Brothers in concert on New Years Eve 5 years in a row there is always an adventure when Matt and Bryan are in town. Girlfriends (soon to be wives) hate us together. Matt resides in Neosho, Missouri where he is the head coach for the Crowder College men's soccer team.
Bri Dunn
Bridesmaid
Bri and Vicki met freshmen year of high school and Bri became one of Vicki's best friends. One of Vicki's favorite and most memorable times with Bri was going to Acapulco, Mexico with Bri's family when they were 15&16 years old. Since Vicki has no brothers or sisters, it was one of her first family vacations with siblings/a bigger family! The two went to the University of Minnesota together&spent many weekends tailgating the college weekends together. When Vicki moved home from Thailand she basically moved in with Bri&spent most nights at her place all the time. They both enjoy giggling, The Bachelor, Siesta Key,& their dogs. Bri’s attitude can brighten up a room&Vicki is so happy to have her in her life. Vicki could not imagine her day without Bri's infectious laugh and fun attitude.
Chris Tesar
Groomsman
Best Friend. Bryan first met Chris in high school when he arrived to Eastern Wayne as the Alaskan wrestling champion. Chris always makes the most out of every experience, whether it was cooking a whole pig for NC State football tailgates or going to Panama City Beach for spring break. Bryan still doesn't know how he managed to pass all of his classes his Junior year while living with Chris. Just a few things that made getting to class hard in the morning: $2 pint nights at Natty Greene's, Fayetteville street downtown Raleigh and trips to Chapel Hill. Bryan is thankful for Chris making their time together in high school and N.C State an unforgettable experience. Chris resides in St. Louis, Missouri with his wife Whitney and baby boy George.
Alyssa Friedman
Bridesmaid
Alyssa and Vicki met in 2014 when she got home from Thailand through Alyssa’s husband and Vicki’s long time best guy friend Michael. Alyssa and Vicki both enjoy cooking good food, cabins, walking their dogs together, and finding fun activities to do in MN. They both are planners and enjoy new experiences which makes their friendship very compatible. They traveled to San Francisco one spring and have been on numerous cabin trips together. Alyssa is one of the few people Vicki trusts to watch Yuki and most hang outs turn into a slumber party for Bryan, Michael, Alyssa, and Vicki. Alyssa is an operating nurse at Abott Hospital in Minneapolis. She lives in Bloomington with her husband Michael and dog Chloe. Vicki and Bryan can’t wait to have Alyssa part of their wedding day.
Michael Friedman
Groomsman
Best Friend. Bryan met Michael through Vicki. At first Bryan was led to believe Michael was Vicki's brother, thankfully that was not true. As much of a good friend Michael has become to Bryan he has an intimidation factor that is unrivaled. The thought of Bryan having to play golf or hockey against a brother in law like Michael would have made many restless weekends. Not only is Michael a competitor but he is a very talented hockey and golf player that is way out of Bryan's league. The man known as BEAST has always been friendly and welcoming when inviting Bryan to join the Eastview crew. Michael resides in Bloomington, Minnesota with his wife Alyssa and daughter Chloe Friedman.
Riley Schweiger
Bridesmaid
Vicki met Riley freshmen year of college in the fall of 2009. They lived on the same dorm room floor at UMD. They instantly became good friends and enjoyed laughing/doing what college kids do. They lived together sophomore year and then Vicki left UMD to go to the U. Riley and Vicki still stayed in contact after she left and they even got to study abroad together in London May of 2012 through the U of M/UMD. That trip was a trip they both never will forget. While they studied abroad and took college classes in London they got to visit southern France, England, Amsterdam, and Ireland for Riley’s 21st! Whenever Vicki and Riley are together they love to giggle, talk about celebrity gossip, and truly have so much fun together. Some may not love this like Bryan and Trav but that’s life!
Travis Schweiger
Groomsman
Best Friend. Bryan met Travis through Vicki and will always remember his first true cabin weekend taking place at the Schweigers in Turtle Lake. Travis has always been very welcoming and one of the first guys Bryan met within the Eastview crew. As the life of the party Travis is unwavering in his commitment to bring a good time and fully send it whenever necessary. Bryan has been welcomed to his new Minnesota home by some awesome friends and thanks to people like Travis it has been an awesome experience. Cheers to many more golden hours together at the lake. Travis resides in St. Louis Park, Minnesota with his wife Riley Schweiger and son Morty Schweiger
