Bridesmaid
I met Becky the week before PA school started as I knocked on her apartment door asking to borrow a screw driver. She has carried me through some of my deepest moments in life. She’s beautiful, whitty, intelligent, has a heart of gold, and knows her way around a catheter (urology PA). I’m proud to call her one of my best friends.

Amanda and I met through our parents actually when we were just babies. I think we share the childhood BFF story only shown in the movies. I cherish our millions of memories: endless sleepovers, choreographing dance/gymnastic routines, pet mice, shaving on surf boards, circling Will on the Jetskii, I could go on for days! Amanda is truly the kindest, most honest, loving, beautiful human. A best friend for life.
Bridesmaid
Sarah and I also a met a week before PA school on a blind-friend date. She came over to my empty apt and we grilled dime-sized shrimp alongside my suspect, likely armed neighbors. Even as strangers it felt natural to laugh together. Sarah is so pure, kind, hard working, and hilarious. Everyone needs a bestie who will make you cry laugh every time you are together.
Bridesmaid
I met Jill briefly back in college at Jackson & Jake's apartment, but it wasn't until the last 2 years we have really gotten close. I admire her love for cats, her drive, creativity, & strong will. Jill was also the one who captured the beautiful pics from our engagement
Bridesmaid
Amelia and Emily met at their apartment complex in Orlando, FL shortly after Amelia moved from homeland Sweden to be with her now husband John. Amelia is an incredible cat mama, therapist, friend, and soon to be momma! Because of her due date, Amelia won't be able to attend our wedding day however she is participating in all of the events leading up to the big day.
Best Man
Jens and I have been brothers since meeting in elementary school at Millburn. Sharing a love for fishing, sports (basketball, football, golf), video games, camping, and smashing pop cans, we were pretty much inseparable during our childhood. Jens moved away before high school but we have always remained close. We always joked that if he would have stayed, our basketball team probably would have won state. Jens is one of the most loyal people I know, and I couldn't be more honored to have The Big Swede standing by my side as my Best Man on the big day.
Groomsman
Jackson, aka Bats, and I met at the University of Iowa on the 11th floor of Rienow Hall. We instantly bonded through our love of basketball, football, and golf as well as our shared sense of humor and sarcasm. I always considered Jackson my right-hand man all throughout college as he was an indispensable part of my college experience. Though Jackson snores like a tugboat, he's truly an amazing friend and confidant and is always a pleasure to be around, even if he's whopping my ass on the links. I am extremely grateful he will be standing with me on my wedding day.
Groomsman
Brother Matt, aka Matty G. or Gallagore, has been a part of my life since before I can remember. Married to my oldest sister, Danielle, he's been like an older brother to me since day one. It feels like I've known him forever, and he's been everything I could have asked for in a brother, which is why I drop the "in-law" altogether. Matt's infectious laughter and personality have made him an integral part of our family gatherings and cherished memories. I am beyond grateful that Matt is standing with me on my wedding day.
Groomsman
Noah (Sloah) was my college roommate at the University of Iowa and we immediately connected through our love of football, music, weight lifting, Quentin Tarantino movies, and beer. With a witty remark always at the ready, Noah has always been a joy to be around and I am extremely thankful to have him standing with me. Noah and I live in different states now, but we can always pick back up right where we left off before......talking about whose team is better, the Packers or the Vikqueens...opps i meant Vikings.
Groomsman
Tyler, aka T-Sooth or T-Lure, and I met freshmen year at the University of Iowa. Considered one of the greatest "gears of war" duos of all time, our friendship and camaraderie extended far beyond the virtual battlefield. Beyond the screen, Tyler was an extremely reliable and supportive friend, ready to lend an ear or offer a word of encouragement whenever it was needed most. On the screen, Tyler was a whiz with photoshop....a critical skill needed for any underage college student.
