Annie & Jason
Wedding Party
Amanda Lindemulder
Maid of Honor
Amanda is my sister and best friend. From growing up playing school in the basement at 1907 Dilloway Drive to many shared business ventures at Amanda Co. - the Furbies, Guinea pig and all the adventures in between. I'm lucky to have a sister that will always have my back. And also go barreling into my college workplace to yell at a boss that was mean to me. I can always count on her to resiliently have my best interests at heart. Blakely and Jace are so lucky to have her as their mom, and I am sure they will both - like me- be taught the Spanish alphabet by her in Kindergarten.
Paul Regier
Best Man
My older brother, 18+ year roommate, and my biggest rival for any competition imaginable. Growing up, Paul and I were always together & making a sport out of anything - street hockey, “skip-ball” in the pool, creating a golf course in our back yard, home run derbies, and the list goes on (honestly, not much has changed as you can still find us playing 1-on-1 in the driveway or 4+ hours of tennis any time we are together). Although, I always wanted to be better than Paul, I know that one thing I cannot compete with is how great of a role model and older brother he is.
Nisha Kavalam
Bridesmaid
Nish and I have been friends since 7th grade social studies class. This friendship has conquered moves across multiple state lines, new jobs and bad dating choices. Thank you for standing by me through my side bangs, stinky socks and anti-socialness. You are one of the most selfless people, that is truly just always trying to make other people happy. I can't imagine going through this life without you by my side through it all.
Adam Regier
Best Man
My younger brother and someone that I can always count on for a laugh because of his crude / twisted sense of humor; I have known Adam for his entire life and yet I am still shocked with some of the things that comes out of his mouth – but, I would not want it any other way. Adam and I were always close growing up, but we became even closer during the 2 years we shared at MSU and I am so thankful that he made the decision to go to school there. Adam is witty, intelligent, has a ton of random knowledge from the hundreds of biographies he has read, and works hard in everything he does – I am proud to call him my younger brother and can’t wait to see all the amazing things he will do.
Chelsea Roe
Bridesmaid
Chelsea and I met through the accounting program at MSU. We've dealt with bad professors, brutal classes and passing the CPA exams together. College would have never been the same without all of your support, kindness, hilarious sense of humor and of course our grilled cheese Mondays at the Dairy store. You are one of the few people I can talk to about absolutely anything and I am so grateful for that.
Brendan Babinski
Groomsman
Brendan lived one street over from us and has been my best friend since the 6th grade. We played on the same hockey and baseball teams, dated best friends in middle school, made countless videos / short films (including the critically acclaimed, award-winning, short thriller film, ‘Corrupt Reminiscence’), snuck booze out of my parent’s house, went on mission trips, visited each other frequently in college, and were roommates in Chicago. Some of my absolute best memories through childhood, college, and post-college have been with Brendan by my side and I’m excited for all the memories I know we’ll make in the future.
Katie Ivan
Bridesmaid
Katie and I lived together at the Cedar Street house at MSU. Before moving in, I was nervous to live in a house with 8 girls, but after meeting Katie in the room right next to mine, I immediately had a change of heart. Katie is one of the absolute kindest most thoughtful people I have ever met. The late night talks, Peanut Barrel long islands and all of the Ramas led to a forever friendship. Now, I'm grateful to be living in the same city together to share weekly date nights, bachelorette Mondays & endless euchre nights.
Anton DeAvila
Groomsman
I met Anton (AKA “Tourist Tony”) during my Freshman year at Michigan State and he immediately became one of my closest friends. There is no one that I spent more time with in college and the first year after we graduated – we spent countless hours studying together, getting “shredded” at planet fitness, discussing girl problems and other life dilemmas, creating a 250-person volunteering organization from scratch, prepping for interviews, traveling to 10 countries in Europe and living together in Chicago. Anton is the person I lean on for advice with big life decisions, because he is morally-sound and thoughtful in everything he does.
Margo Dixon
Bridesmaid
Margo and I lived together for 3 (almost 4 if you count the amount of time you spent on my freshmen dorm futon) years in college. There are too many memories we shared to fit in here, but the best one might be the time we snuck downstairs alone at a house party and played hockey with spilled Reeses Puffs on the floor. Most of my absolute favorite adventures have been with you & I am kind of amazed we survived college together. You're my Amazonian, hilarious, beer drinking partner in crime forever.
Jamal Jassar
Groomsman
I met Jamal my Junior year at Michigan State. He is the most outgoing person on this planet (if you do not believe me, you should witness a Jamal Jasser birthday party where > 100 of his closest friends travel from all over the country to celebrate in northern Michigan). Jamal’s personality has been described in the following way: “Jamal could become friends with a doorknob if you asked him to.” I am eternally grateful to have met Jamal and for his outgoing personality, because if it weren’t for him, I would have never bought Annie that drink at the bar the first night I met her, which led to me asking her out on our first date.
Emma Flynn
Bridesmaid
Emma and I are cousins that are basically sisters. Growing up, we've done everything together - from being spies, to English orphans, to play mobile farmers. Our imaginations and adventures have often ended us up in unusual circumstances. But it's safe to say there is no one else I would have rather been stranded on the side of the highway with or pulled over by the police, or by your side when you punched a guy in the face at a frat.
Mike Bourgoin
Groomsman
I met Mike (better known as MickDragon) in the summer between our Freshmen and Sophomore year of college. He is someone that can make anyone laugh (no matter their background / interests), loves to fish and listen to records, has an impressive habit of dating professional athlete’s girlfriends, and can grow a mustache that rivals Tom Selleck’s. On top of all this, he is intelligent, hardworking, and is on his way to becoming one heck of a doctor. Although most people see only his goofy side, after years of getting to know him, Mike is the guy I would call and trust if I needed help, advice, or a heart transplant.
Madeline Flynn
Bridesmaid
Madeline and I are cousins that have grown up together. From playing in the backyard at Grandma's house to tailgating at college football games and so many Flynn Christmas parties, family events have always been more fun with you there. I am so grateful that the older we've gotten, the closer we have become. You are one of the nicest and genuinely caring people I know, not to mention hilarious too.
Joe Cawood
Groomsman
Joe is Annie’s older brother & someone that she has looked up to her entire life. From playing 1-on-1 together, annual competitions to see would be the first & last one in the lake/pool and helping each other out financially when things got tight (i.e. 12-year old Annie sharing her babysitting money with Joe when he was a broke college kid) Over the past 3.5 years, Joe and I have also established a close relationship through his visits back home, Joe teaching me fishing tricks, playing euchre or cornhole together, “icing” each other and debating how good Draymond Green is. Joe welcomed me into the family right away and treated me like I was his brother and I am thankful that I will get to officially call him my brother in a few months
Angelika Paul
Bridesmaid
Angelika is Jason's older sister. I was so excited to meet her after hearing the way Jason talked about her and clearly had looked up to her his entire life (symbolically that is, not in terms of height). Right after meeting her, I understood exactly why he spoke so highly of her. Angelika is kind, thoughtful and extraordinarily smart. She immediately made me feel so welcomed into their family and I am so lucky to officially have another sister!
John Paul
Groomsman
John is my sister’s husband, who I have known for about 7 years now. When my sister first started dating him, I had family and friends constantly coming up to me and ask what I thought of him – after getting to know him, my response was always that he was the guy that you wanted / hoped your sister to end up with. After all these years, I can still stand by that statement. He is one of the most intelligent guys I have ever met, he is driven, very thoughtful / strategic in all his decisions, loves drinking beer and playing cards or board games (which was a big selling point for the Regier family), and above all, treats my sister like the queen she is. I am lucky to call him my brother and to have him stand in my wedding.
Casey Knapp
Bridesmaid
Casey and I lived in Nashville and worked side by side at BDO together for 2 years. Living in Nashville was even more fun with our martini happy hours, parking lot shotguns and lunchtime power walks. We've had so many long talks through all the ups and downs of conquering early adulthood together, and I am grateful to have a friend that is so caring and such a good listener. Not quite sure how I would have survived public accounting without you, but I'm glad I didn't have to try.
Cody Lindemulder
Groomsman
Cody is Annie’s brother in-law and someone I have become very close with over the past 3.5 years. Cody and I have gotten so close by always partnering up against Annie and Amanda in euchre, boardgames, 2v2 backyard volleyball, and any other possible competition. Cody is one of the most positive and easy-going guys I have ever met, he is an engineer and can figure out how to fix / create anything, he is an amazing father of 2 beautiful kids, and a loving husband to Amanda. There are few people that I admire, and respect more than I do with Cody. I am thankful to have him in my life and to provide me with an example of the husband and father that I want to be.
Blakely Rose Lindemulder
Flower Girl
Blakely is my beautiful niece & Goddaughter. She is 2 years & 4 months old. Blakely is one of the most expressive, outgoing & caring toddlers you will ever meet. In her short life she has faced more adversity than most people will face in their entire life. At the age of 17 months, Blakely was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. Over the past year she has demonstrated unsurpassed bravery & strength in the face of what seemed like endless surgeries and treatments. Even after all she has been through, Blakely ceaselessly radiates joy, fearlessness and an overall zeal for life. Some of her favorite things are playing outside, climbing, bubbles, donuts and most of all her little brother Jace & the rest of her family. We are lucky to have the sweetest flower girl to celebrate the day!
