Conceta & Patrick
Wedding Party
Lynn Muller
Matron of Honor
I have known Lynn since 4th grade and have been great friends with her ever since. We went to college together, lived together, and then after college we also worked together! Couldn't be happier to have her by my side as well as to Marry Patrick and I! She's my ride or die homie - especially on our nights out! As you all may know I sometimes have 1 or 2 too many drinks and have always been able to count on Lynn to make sure I got home :) If you have ever seen the damnit Frank giraffe meme that is her and I - just google it and you'll see.
Nichole Boyd
Maid of Honor
Nichole is my Aunt on my mom's side of the family and I have been super close with her for many years! One of my favorite memories with her is our rollerblading days - lets just say we don't have too many of those days anymore and you can ask her why :) Also, loved going out with her and my brother because there was always a good story with us having to share how we are all related at the bar to strangers. She is one person I can count on to talk to and cheer me up if I am ever having a bad day!
Erin Sweeney
Bridesmaid
I have known Erin since the 4th grade and have been great friends with her since! She has been one to always be honest with me whether or not I liked what she was saying - especially when it came to guys. (She gave me the approval for Pat right away!) Always can count on her to go biking, running, or camping with Patrick and I as we all enjoy the same outdoor activities - oh and also talking Pat into getting a puppy as well :)
Crystal Lundquist
Bridesmaid
Crystal is another one of my Aunts on my mom's side of the family and I have also been close with her for a few years especially when she let me move in with her and her family for a little while until I got back up on my feet :) Love my time with my aunties because they are so much fun and it is always great when we go out together because people think we are triplets and Billy (my brother) hated going out with us because the girls never believed we were all related!
Kelsey Puncochar
Bridesmaid
I have known Kelsey since the 4th grade as well. I became really close with her after we graduated college and we have many many memories out in the Annandale and Monticello area that I will keep quiet :) She is one reason why I somewhat dress cute nowadays because back in the day I kind of dressed like a boy - so thank you Kelsey! Also, had the pleasure of standing by her side when her and Joe got married and so excited she has agreed to stand by mine as well!
Karley Killian
Bridesmaid
I met Karley a few years ago via the Volleyball gang at 152 club (I know...surprise right!) I had seen Karley roaming the Albertville area quite a bit before I knew her and thought who is this crazy lady :) but then I got to know her and turns out she is SUPER fun and we have become pretty close since by playing lots of volleyball, chatting about men, and going out on the town at night! - oh and can't forget we both moved in with our men the same weekend right across the river from each other. As soon as I was told I need to meet Pat by my co-worker she was the first one to give me a little interesting tid bit about him (you can ask her I am not explaining) haha!
Jessica Johnson
Bridesmaid
Jessica and I have been friends for quite some time now and to be honest I don't even remember how we met exactly haha. But what I will say is that anytime I wanted to make a last minute decision about something to do she was my go to gal because she is always down to hang out. Actually, the last two valentines (2017 and 2018) I hung out with her because we still wanted to celebrate so we just went out together! I always call her Yessica now because I rarely get a No from her :)
Jeff Garty
Best Man
Jeff is my younger brother... not my little brother! Jeff and I have always been close. We had our childhood rivalry just like any other close in age brothers growing up (full disclosure: Jeff is a Packers fan), but we are each others biggest supporters. Jeff was the first one I called to tell him I got the ring, and that I needed a ride to pick it up (since I don't have a car). My favorite memory of Jeff is how happy and "at home" he was in Ireland on a cousins trip we took, especially with a fresh Guinness in his hand. Jeff is the most thoughtful and caring person I know and there isn't anything we wouldn't do for each other.
Joe Garty
Best Man
Joe is my little kid brother. He is almost 10 years younger than me so when he was born I was his brother and babysitter. From pretending to ref my basketball games the second he could walk to following in Jeff and my footsteps at NDSU, Joe was always looking up to us. But really, I have learned just as much from Joe as he has from us. We have so much fun together and Joe keeps me young. Our trip to Austin, TX for a music festival to see our favorite new artist, Leon Bridges, was probably my favorite moment with this young buck!
Tony DeMarais
Groomsman
Tony and I grew up across the street from each other. We are and will be life long friends. From street hockey in the cul de sac to all night halo parties, we were inseparable. When we were younger, Tony and I went to a Korean camp to learn more about his heritage, and I came home and told my Mom that I wanted to be Korean when I grew up. Now that obviously didn’t happen, but I did get to be a part of his family when Tony and his wife Tessa asked me to be their son Sean’s godfather. A responsibility that I cherish.
Nikhil Patel
Groomsman
Nikhil and I are the same age and have known each other since junior high but not until we had more classes together in high school did we finally click. But once we did, we have been best friends ever since! Our friendship and families are so close it didn't quite feel right calling him a friend anymore, he is a brother. Nikhil and I share a love of great food, sports, music, travel and everything in between. We have had so many great times together but few compare to the excitement and euphoria we shared witnessing the Vikes pull off the Minneapolis Miracle in the playoffs last year.
Jarrod Silver
Groomsman
I have known Jarrod since high school technically. I just knew him as JrodBulldog, his Xbox gamer tag, and it would be that way through high school and most of college. But after college, is when I really got to know Jarrod. Jarrod is a man of many passions. Whether it's photography, his hat collection, his tech savvy setups (he has his own streaming server), or his friendships. One of my favorite memory's of Jarrod is when we were on vacation in Puerto Rico and went into an old hat shot in Old San Juan and both bought custom made fedoras.
Tom Bishoff
Groomsman
Tom and I met in college at NDSU. We had the same major, Industrial Engineering, but didn't really meet until a combination of basketball and engineering friends started mixing. Tom and I were both on the same wavelength when it came to studying, basketball, partying, gaming, and Bison football. We had a lot of fun and made sure to keep each other honest with school. In fact, we were even number 2 and 3 in our graduating class. Even after college, we have stayed in touch through many trips to and from Fargo and the Twin Cities and online gaming. One of my favorite weekends of the year is when Tom and his wife Richelle come down for a Bison Football watch party and Vikings/Twolves game.
Billy Huttner
Groomsman
I haven't known Billy very long, but we have had some fun times whether it's cheering on the Vikes, playing basketball at the gym, getting the night started with a game of bowling or hitting the dance floor to bust a move until last call. The biggest thing I notice about Billy is his love for his sister. They are very close and he might drive Ceta crazy sometimes, but you know he would do anything for her. Just like I would do anything for Joe and Jeff.
