Wedding Party
Katie Billingsley
Matron of Honor
Katie and I have know each other since 5th grade when I switched to Grace Lutheran. We bonded over art classes where Katie (who was always a better student then me) would ask me to help with whatever project we were working on! we may have gotten into a little bit of trouble over it considering I am a lefty, she is a righty and our art teacher had a keen eye! Since then we have gone different ways but found our way back to each other and have never been closer! She is the first person I will go to for almost anything! (sorry Jordan 😊)
Ben Gauger
Best Man
Ben has always been by my side during my entire life. We did everything together, from trick-or-treating to playing basketball to swimming lessons to singing in choir to watching The Flash. While working at Piggly Wiggly we would speak our own language and sing the same songs in the aisles next to each other. It would be difficult for me to come up with a good memory that he hasn’t been a part of. The story of my life has largely been the story of our time growing up together. Ben teaches fourth grade at a school where his students adore him and spends his free time playing piano, beating video games, and eating Hardees with me. Simply put, Ben is not only my brother, but my best friend.
Tim Gauger
Groomsman
Tim is the ultimate big brother. I have always known through my whole life that I can trust him with anything and depend on him no matter the situation. I hold treasured memories of him patiently teaching me to drive stick shift, showing me the ins and outs of Pokemon, mentoring me in our jobs at Piggly Wiggly and as merchandisers, and taking me to C2E2 Comic Con. Tim has an impressive variety of achievements such as: writing books, surviving a fall in the Danube River, becoming homecoming king, slugging home runs in our softball and dartball leagues, and being everybody’s favorite person. Simply put, Tim is the man.
Abbie Tonn
Bridesmaid
I met Abbie through her brother, and we left him in the dust! I originally knew Abbie from watching Sydney and Brayden but we’ve developed such a good friendship! She was actually one of the first people I told about Jordan! Abbie has given me some of the best advice and support I could have asked for. I have changed my mind so many times on school and if I’m excited she’s excited! I could (and have lol) asked her anything and she would either help or tell me what to do🥰
Jonah Gauger
Groomsman
Jonah has been an awesome mentor and excellent example for me to follow all my life. In everything from improving my skills in athletics to having me be his understudy while teaching Sunday school, Jonah has helped to show me the way in life. He has helped me grow stronger in my faith and my relationship with Jesus. I will forever treasure his words of wisdom, our trip to Texas, when he came to my little league and basketball games, and valuable time spent frisbee golfing together. He enjoys raising his family and keeping up with the Packers. Simply put, Jonah leads by example and is someone to emulate.
Lizzie Langen
Bridesmaid
Lizzie and I became friend in cosmetology school. We were pretty quickly inseparable and always giggling! She has been such an amazing supporter and sanity keeper this last year. Even if I’m feeling a little crabby (which NEVER happens) she’s always there to cheer me up and make a joke! I will say this, we’re both pretty upset it took us this long to meet! But so thankful we did!
Josh Thiesfeldt
Groomsman
Josh currently serves as an upper grade teacher at a WELS elementary school in Michigan. He and I have spent hours over the years talking about sports and politics. One of my favorite parts about Christmas has been getting Josh a Trump-themed gift for several years in a row. We have always held a special bond as cousins in the massive Thiesfeldt family. We have numerous good memories of holidays spent together at Grandma Joyce’s house, which include football games and playing Scategories.
Saige Simonet
Bridesmaid
I can confidently say Saige was my first friend. (she was the first cousin born after me) Every time we were together we were inseparable. As we got older we saw each other less but never lost that bond. Every holiday we are attached, and when Saige was in college we would frequently hang out at friends house together. She (along with Keeley and Cheyenne) have been the closest thing to sisters I could ask for! One of my favorite parts growing up is over holiday breaks or summer we would get to spend a week together and it was always so much fun!
Adrian Haertl
Usher
Adrian first came into my life when I was about 16 years old. I thought right away that he reminded me of Opie from The Andy Griffith Show. Adrian and I instantly formed a close friendship, and I had the honor of becoming his godfather when he was baptized. We always enjoy our visits together when we go frisbee golfing, eat cheeseburgers, and discuss Harry Potter. He is an avid reader, master dueler, and deep thinker.
Jacob Kowalczyk
Usher
I met Jake while working at Piggly Wiggly about ten years ago. Jake and Charlie were actually friends from school, so it worked out well when we all started to hang out! We bonded instantly over our love for Skyrim! Over the years Jake, Ben and I have spent countless hours frisbee golfing! If there’s a course within 45 miles we have probably been there!
Sydney Tonn
Flower Girl
Sydney kick started my love for nannying. Even though I wasn’t technically her nanny, I absolutely loved the adventures we shared on our days together! I’ve loved watching her grow up and see the sweet and sassy young lady she is becoming! I remember taking her for MANY zoo trips and we always had so much fun together! Still babysitting her now is so cool because now we can do “ adult stuff” our newest treat is to paint our nails together or to design “tattoos”.
Brayden Tonn
Ring Bearer
Brayden was my first full time nannying job. I could not have been more excited and terrified! But man did he make it easy! He was up for anything and would sleep anywhere! The amount of Christmas shopping trips we would do or “walks” at the Mayfair collection! He’s still my biggest shopping buddy and will ALWAYS give me an opinion on what I’m buying! He likes to sneak things in he might like too! We love to build magnatiles together and he is almost always up for a snuggle! ❤️
Wally Liebenow
Ring Bearer
Wally is one of the coolest kids around! He always asks to play outside on the trampoline, enjoys attending Sunday school, watches Bluey, and is a Pokemon master. He always has a smile to share, and will usually share his toys with his siblings. I also had the honor of being selected as Wally's godfather at his baptism, and look forward to seeing how he grows in his love for Jesus and his faith in the years to come.
