Wedding Party

Sarah Story

Matron of Honor

Sarah and I go all the way back to my birth in 1988. She went from being my bossy big sister to my best friend over the course of the last 3 decades, and I wouldn’t want anyone else standing right next to me on my big day! Sarah convinced me to take a big risk and sit for the California Bar in 2015, and then she was gracious enough to let me live with her family for 8 months when I moved here. She also helped me land an awesome job that I love. We work in the same courthouse and get to hang out all the time, and I’m SO grateful for all the lost time we’ve made up for since I moved to CA. She is the BEST mom to my two favorite mini humans, my niece Sydney and my nephew Shane. Love you the most sis!

Jenn Jackson

Bridesmaid

Jenn and I became friends in the "White House" in 8th grade at Pilgrim Park Middle School. We've been inseparable ever since! Here are just a few of my most cherished memories with Jenn: choreographing our own color guard routines in our backyards to Billy Joel songs, riding our bikes to Pick n Save in high school to eat watermelon and Krispy Kremes, drinking countless bottles of Burnetts orange vodka in college, and sharing many fun adventures as grown ups like hiking and snowboarding! We also share a mutual obsession for all things true crime and murder mystery. Jenn is also an amazing pediatric dentist with a heart of gold and an infectious laugh. She makes up a third of my Wolfpack, and I love her SO much! Xoxo

Kari Stein

Bridesmaid

Kari and I met in the “Red House” in 7th grade at PPMS. She was sweet and well-behaved, while I was loud and constantly getting in trouble, particularly in Mr. Fenske’s science class. We managed to balance each other out and became best friends in short order. Fast forward to today, and Kari is an integral part of my beloved Wolfpack. We’ve marched in the band together, twirled flags in color guard, enjoyed some fun Halloweens on State Street in Madison in college, and lived within a mile of each other in Bay View for a glorious period of our late 20s. Kari is an amazing teacher who is so passionate about what she believes in. Her students are so lucky to have her and I am equally blessed to call her a best friend. Love you Kar!

Jen Wilson

Bridesmaid

Jen and I met when we were teammates on the Wisconsin Wild hockey team when I was 13 and she was 14. We were linemates when we won the U15 State Championship in 2003, and we never let anyone forget it! Jen and I lost touch for a few years until we both attended UW-Eau Claire in the fall of 2006. It was like no time had passed at all, and we were besties again. Jen and I both decided to transfer to Columbia College Chicago the next year, and later became roomies in Wrigleyville. We continued to play hockey together in adulthood while also engaging in countless shenanigans. She is the Steve Butabi to my Doug Butabi, the Adam Banks to my Charlie Conway, and my partner in crime. Jen is a college hockey coach who has never been afraid to follow her dreams. Love you bestie!

Sydney is Colleen's niece, and the daughter of MOH Sarah. She is 4 years old and loves Peppa Pig, Dory and Nemo, Playdoh, and swimming in her pool. She is silly, sassy, sometimes bratty, and always adorable. Syd is super excited to be the flower girl in TeeTee and Uncle Scott's wedding!

Caleb Buesing

Ring Bearer

Caleb is Scott's nephew. He is 7 years old and loves Legos, superheroes, and the color yellow, among other things. He is outgoing, talkative, funny, witty, and very inquisitive. Caleb is looking forward to his ring bearer duties and has already asked Uncle Scott and Miss Colleen which tie he should bring multiple times!
