Katie & Craig
Wedding Party
Brianna Schmidt-Lucas
Maid of Honor
My best friend since 6th grade- we met because our dads were friends and roommates in their early 20s. There are very few memories of my life where she isn't involved. She is my best friend and life partner. You will find her at the wedding trying to wrangle her two kids, the ring bearer and flower girl.
Chelsea Meyer
Bridesmaid
My older sister. Despite being born only 18 months apart, we couldn't have arrived on this earth any differently. Chelsea used to set out her outfit the night before starting with the headband all the way to socks, where I barely made it out the door with two shoes on my feet. Chelsea is an extrovert to the max and has never entered a room without turning at least a few heads. She will be the one at the wedding fighting for the microphone, leading the dance parties, and making sure her husband Jimmy isnt going up to the buffet line for thirds.
Kim Meyer
Bridesmaid
My younger sister Kim. The one that will die before she would let me think I am right. She is a fellow Aries, so we have spent our whole lives butting heads. This soon-to-be lawyer can be found at any time writing a paper, hunched over a law book, or taking photos and videos of her cat sleeping. She may seem quiet at first, but I promise you that is not the case! Hopefully at the wedding you will find her coming out of her shell and hitting the dance floor, after a few complimentary margaritas, of course.
Kristina Brees
Bridesmaid
The sister of my maid of honor and another sister of mine in my eyes, I have known Krissy well over a decade. Every time we are together, it is almost guaranteed there will be no shortage of laughter. My dad used to call her "The Bruiser" for her tiny appearance and big personality. She is the life of the party and has a heart of gold.
Anjali Harty
Bridesmaid
My wonderful neighbor and truly one of my best friends. Anj is the most caring and selfless people I know. I think at any time we are having multiple conversations. One in-person, one on instagram, and one via text. At anytime you can catch me walking through her door unannounced to sit on the couch and chat the night away.
Britt Cline
Bridesmaid
My friend Britt, another person I have been friends with for over 10 years. My ride or die, my party gal, my confidant. She is one of the most loyal and giving friends. There is a never a dull moment when Britt and I are together.
Tyler Page
Best Man
Nickname: Chin. My brother in every sense of the word. He has been there for me since my first day on this planet. This man is willing to drop everything on a moment's notice to provide a helping hand. A couple years back, I broke down on a drive home from Ohio. I called Tyler and he left at 2:00 a.m. to come pick me up and help me tow my car home. There is definitely no one I would rather have by my side on an outdoor adventure. Chin is dialed into the outdoors. You can always find Tyler persuading me to try one more spot in pursuit of wild game whether it be on water, on land, or in the air. Many of my best hunting and fishing memories took place with Chin's company.
Jeremiah Barnes
Groomsman
Nickname: Deebler. Jeremiah and I met in second grade on the school bus. I thought he was cool because he had one ear pierced. Growing up, we spent absurd amounts of time playing basketball by day and video games by night. No Jack's Pizza was safe. Deebler is one of the funniest people I have met to this day. He is quick witted and always has a one-liner in the chamber. You can find me and Deebler making any sport or activity competitive. Deebler currently serves in the Air Force in the Tactical Air Control Party (badass).
Lee Rosendahl
Groomsman
Nickname: Longbottom. Lee and I go back to elementary school. Lee, Jeremiah, and I were inseparable. Lee's mom ran a daycare so their house had a FOOD ROOM, and a basketball hoop. What more could a group of adolescent boys need. We would cook a giant bag of pizza rolls and a Jack's Pizza and divide them out equally. There was never an even amount of pizza rolls or pizza slices so we would play rock paper scissors for the extras, leaving no crumbs behind. Lee and I also spent a lot of time together during college days terrorizing local Duluth bars. I will have you know that Lee is famous for sleeping in the bathtub after a night out. These days Lee is an F-35 crew chief in the Air Force.
Jimmy Silbert
Groomsman
Nickname: Jimmer aka JMR. Jimmy is my brother-in-law and a brother no doubt. Jimmer is a suave LA guy with perfect hair and figure. He was a frat boy at the U of M as evidenced by his dominance at the beerpong table during my bachelor party. Jimmer is a great outlet for me to talk sports, crypto, or how to lock down a Meyer girl. Jimmer knows how to make anyone feel welcome and accepted. However, we must keep a close eye on him at the wedding as he may try to go up for thirds at dinner.
Nick Campbell
Groomsman
Nickname: Baby Nick. Nick and I clicked on a trip to Panama City Beach, Florida during spring break in college. There are several reasons he is referred to as "Baby Nick." Maybe it has to do with how many times we had to carry him to bed that spring break. Or maybe it's because he always has to brush his hair and reapply cologne when the Uber arrives. If Nick tells you he will be somewhere at 4, don't expect him until 5 as his getting ready routine (diaper change, bottle, car seat, etc.) takes longer than most women I know. All jokes aside, Nick and I have a strong bond over sports, fishing, and beer. When we lived in the same city, we watched every UFC card and every Vikings game together. Nick still keeps me plugged in with the all the breaking news across the sports world. I taught Nick everything he knows about fishing. P.S. He won't admit it, but he is afraid to touch catfish.
Ryan Harty
Groomsman
Nickname: Rico. Ryan is the suspect who got us mixed up with most of the friends we have in the twin cities. Ryan and his wife Anjali (bridesmaid) are our neighbors in Minneapolis. We met them shortly after moving into our current home. Ryan is the kind of guy you can take ANYWHERE and EVERYONE loves him immediately. Ryan has the gift of gab. He has the ability to engage any person in a conversation about anything. Ryan is my go-to these days for advice, second opinions, venting sessions, neighborhood gossip, etc. However, I am careful about what I share with him because he is a tattletale (see photo). We could not have hand picked better neighbors.
