Tricia & Bryan
Wedding Party
Miles Jobke
Best Man
Miles was one of the first of Tricia's friends to meet Bryan when they started dating in 2015. Once Bryan passed Miles' background check, they became good friends. Tricia, Bryan, Nicole and Miles enjoy spending time together with game nights, Packer parties, Brewers outings, and most recently, our Covid Quarantine UFC fight nights. Miles is the kind of guy that you can always rely on to help out with a project or to throw back a few cold ones. Tricia and Bryan are honored to have him serve as one of their "best men".
Nicole Jobke
Matron of Honor
Tricia's and Nicole's friendship dates back to the mid 1990s when Tricia was the "new kid" at Magee Elementary. They spent the majority of our childhood days torturing their younger siblings after school, riding bikes back and forth to each other's houses, and having sleepovers almost every weekend. Over the years, our relationship grew into much more than a friendship, but something definitely more like family. We always have each other's back! Tricia is thankful for everything that Nicole is - an awesome friend, wife, and mother to two of her favorite littles - Peyton and Jordyn. She couldn't imagine having anyone else by her side on her wedding day!
Michael "Fishing Mike" Poole
Best Man
Bryan met Mike when he was interested in buying his boat a few years ago. You can guess what they both love almost more than anything - fishing! Mike and Bryan have created this father/son bond over the past five years and Tricia and Bryan have both loved getting to spend time with Mike and his wife, Sue.
Leah Swanson
Bridesmaid
Introduced by a mutual friend about 10 years ago, Leah and Tricia share a mutual love of country music, sweatpants, good food, and epic Brewers' tailgate parties! William and Quinn (her littles) may have slowed our roll a little bit, but now it's acceptable for them to wear sweatpants and chill at home on a Friday night! Bryan and Tricia have enjoyed several weekend getaways with Leah and her husband, David, too!
Brian "Hillbilly" Belcher
Groomsman
As Captain of Hillbilly Charters, Brian aka "Hillbilly", has taught Bryan everything he knows about fishing the big waters of Lake Michigan. They enjoy going on their annual trip to Green Bay every year and fishing together when they can.
Paige Courtney
Bridesmaid
Paige is Tricia's baby sister. As the big sister, Tricia grew up doting on Paige and always trying to watch out for her. But somehow, Tricia is always reminded of how she tried to "poison" her and Paula with her infamous "forgot to drain the noodles" mac and cheese, back in the day. Paige and Tricia have both become pretty good cooks since that day, but Paula is a different story - her cooking skills are still a work in progress. Jokes aside, Paige has been an inspiration as she lives a life that she loves. Tricia is glad that she has realized her secret to happiness at such a young age and continues to pursue all her dreams.
Bryan Thomas
Groomsman
Bryan and Bryan are two peas in a pod. They both enjoy a good cigar from time to time, pheasant hunting, and who would have guessed....fishing!
Gillian Peters
Bridesmaid
Tricia and Gillian began working together in 2014. Soon after they began working together, they found out that they were pretty fun to hang out with outside of work and their friendship blossomed from there! Gillian was my daily confidant when Tricia and Bryan started dating in 2015. She talked Tricia through all the highs and lows of their relationship. Bryan andTricia always enjoy spending time with Gillian, her husband, Jake, and two boys - Ryan and Bryce!
Brian Severson
Groomsman
"Tolan" and "Severson" have been friends since their early years of Jefferson Soccer and little league baseball. Now they often enjoy riding their ATVs together on the trails in Adams County.
Paula Courtney
Bridesmaid
Paula is Tricia's sister (the middle child of the Courtney girls). They spent the majority of our childhood fighting due to our entirely opposite personalities, but now that they don't have to live together, share a cell phone or a car (the joys of only being a year apart), and only see each other on holidays, they get along most of the time. All joking aside, Tricia now has a totally different level of respect for Paula and her very strong personality. She is one very driven and hard-working individual and her big sister is very proud of the life that she has built for herself.
Michael Heil
Groomsman
Mikey grew up as the Courtney's beloved "son". Always stuck with five sisters - they are still unsure of how he survived! As the years went on, Mikey was always looking out for Tricia, just as a good brother should. But that probably also had to do with the fact that he never leaves her house hungry. Anyone that has been to the Courtney's understands that. Bryan was introduced to Mikey when Tricia and him started dating in 2015. Since then, they have become "basement" buddies during hunting season and good friends the rest of the year.
Emily Heil
Bridesmaid
Emily and Tricia met when she started dating her little "brother", Mikey. We bonded over nights filled with lots of laughs and LOTS of girl talk in the early goings of their relationship. I gained another sister when her and Mike made it official in 2016. Bryan and I now have an adorable niece, Millie, and nephew, MJ, out of the deal too!
James Argenzio
Officiant
Jimmy and Tricia have been friends since they were elementary aged kids. Their friends and families met on our annual summer vacation to Lake Buckatabon near Eagle River. All the kids spent all year looking forward to that week up north! From bonfires, to boating, mini golf, and kayaking, they made a lot of memories! Once Tricia got her driver's license, she spent a lot more time with the Argenzio family. From celebrating birthdays to Packer parties, they know how to have a good time and instantly welcomed Bryan into the family. They are great people with huge hearts and when Bryan proposed, we knew that we had to incorporate them into the wedding somehow. Asking Jimmy to officiate was important to us!
