Colleen & Dave
Wedding Party
Katie
Maid of Honor
Colleen has known Katie since middle school in Wauwatosa and we had the time of our lives as roommates at UW-Madison. Even though we miss her since she moved to Salt Lake City with her husband, Will, we love heading West to visit and can't wait to have her home to celebrate!
Ryan
Best Man
Ryan and Dave met Freshman year at MSOE on the Rowing Team, and became friends, then roommates for multiple years. Now they spend countless days mountain biking, playing beach volleyball, discovering new breweries and compete to see who can attend the most Summer Fest concerts. (Ryan currently holds the record). Along with sharing a love for wearing Kilts or Lederhosen's to attend events like Irish Fest and Octoberfest.
Shauna
Bridesmaid
Colleen was so lucky that Shauna was randomly assigned as Katie's roommate in the dorms at UW-Madison! And even luckier that we've both stayed in Milwaukee and live near her and her husband, Nick, for countless Badger games, Packer games, and trips together
Ed
Groomsman
Being the older brother to a high energy and instigating younger brother is not easy, but Ed pulled it off. He always asked his friends if Dave could tag along with whatever he was doing. Ed & Dave had their fights as siblings do but were always friends. Baseball was their favorite sport to play together and they were the 1-2 punch at the tops of lineups for many years. Snowboarding has been their winter passion from building ramps on the side of the house growing up, to heading out West to Vail and Breckenridge.
Kara
Bridesmaid
It was a natural fit when our family met Kara as Mike's girlfriend. She is a burst of energy and so much fun--holidays, vacations, and weekends in Chicago are such a blast with her and I am so lucky she will soon be my sister-in-law!
Mike
Groomsman
Meeting Mike, Dave realized how Colleen turned out so cool, she like Dave had an amazing old brother. Mike is always a joy to be around and his love for creative silly competitions rivals that of Dave's, putting the two together has created fun moments on Holiday's, vacations, or weekend visits. Over the years they've had a blast from free Tequila tours in Mexico to starting a parking lot dance off at a Badger Tailgate.
Suzy
Bridesmaid
Colleen has known Suzy since high school in Wauwatosa and, thankfully, Suzy was a regular visitor up to Madison during college. Our house is only a few minutes away from hers in Milwaukee and can't wait to get back to our bingo nights!
Tony
Groomsman
Tony and Dave have known each other since elementary school and played baseball together for many years from Hickory Hills Youth Baseball thru Stagg HS. They spent countless weekends in high school snowboarding at Chestnut Mtn. and Alpine Valley. Living in Boston and Milwaukee they don't get to see each other as much as they'd like, but when they do they never miss a beat. Be it visiting each other in Boston or Milwaukee, meeting up in Chicago for a Cubs game, or going to SLC to snowboard.
Kelsey
Bridesmaid
We met Kelsey when she and Ryan started dating and bonded on our amazing trip to Iceland. There have been countless bike rides, days at Bradford beach, and nights at Bavarian Inn that we can't wait to resume this summer
Dave
Groomsman
Dave and Dave or Kwak and Taylor as they prefer to ease confusion, have known each other since Elementary school. They became very close friends in High School and continued to get closer during college and after with may trips up to Donna's (Kwak's wife) lake house in MI. They both share a love for the Chicago Bears and Cubs, and attended the Cubs WS Parade in 2016 together.
Maggie
Bridesmaid
Colleen has known Maggie since middle school in Wauwatosa and spent years working together at the Milwaukee County Zoo. We lived together and had a blast at UW-Madison and we are so lucky that she recently moved back to Milwaukee with her fiance, Kevin.
Jake
Groomsman
Jake and Dave met in kindergarten and became friends fast and it stuck. The Jakelski's house was one of Ed and Dave's homes away from home on Sycamore Dr. growing up; playing street hockey after school and long days in the pool. Through many college visits to ISU and MSOE, Goose and Maverick had many memorable nights.
