Daniel & Taylor Berg
Wedding Party
Delaney Garcia
Maid of Honor
The youngest of the Garcia siblings, Delaney was the first family member to meet Daniel while she was visiting Minneapolis this past 4th of July. It was a blast and she sent home raving reviews. Taylor has learned so much from Delaney and how she invests in others and loves them so well. Taylor and Delaney's relationship has grown so much through their 1:1 adventures and intentional time together. Taylor couldn't image life without her fiery, fun, outgoing, joy filled and incredibly loving sister. She is such a gift to get to do life with and Taylor couldn't be more thankful to have not only a sister but a lifelong friend.
Thomas Berg
Best Man
Best friends from the beginning. Thomas the eldest Berg sibling was always a role model for Daniel growing up which lead to some health competition early on. From basketball games growing up, Super Smash Bros, Cribbage, Catan, Scythe or what ever new game they play these days. Through it all Daniel always looked up to his brother in his pursuit of the Lord, his drive to continually improve,his relationship with Courtney and the way he loves his children. It was never a question for Daniel that his loving, genuine, driven, competitive big brother would play this important role on his wedding day.
Jennifer Berg
Bridesmaid
The youngest Berg sibling, Daniel knew from the first time he saw his sister they were going to have a special relationship. Growing up the two shared a lot of passions and that has only grown with age. Daniel has loved sharing hobbies with his sister like drumline and traveling but more so being able to trust each other with anything, speaking wisdom and love into each others lives. Taylor & Jen met during Taylor's first trip to Daniel's hometown. Jennifer is authentic, full of life and so much fun to be around. It has been so fun for Taylor to start to develop a relationship with her soon to be sister and someone so special to Daniel.
Michael Garcia
Groomsman
The middle of the Garcia siblings, Taylor was very excited to have a friend to 'play kitchen with.' Although their mom let her know it would take a few months post birth to be able to do so... Taylor & Michael have been adventuring together since the beginning, waking up early to create inventions together, bike shows and traveling the world together. Taylor cherishes the 1:1 time they've had together in his new home in Cali and all over the world! Michael is a truth seeker, considerate, caring, and always sees the best in others. Michael is such a great friend and Taylor & Daniel are so thankful he is in their lives.

Courtney has been apart of the Berg family for so long she's always felt like a sister to Daniel. From youth group to starting to date his brother at an early age they started a sibling bond from the start. Daniel and Courtney always were able to have great banter as well as good deep conversations, always a trusted confidant in Daniel's life. Taylor and Courtney first met in Daniel's hometown this past summer. Courtney has such a heart of gold and is a rock star mom.

Chris Deweese
Groomsman
Chris came into Daniel's life on his first day of work at 3M in South Dakota. Also a transplant starting new life after college Chris was the welcoming start to a beautiful friendship. Very quickly the two starting spending copious amounts of time together, road tripping, 5am workouts, late nights drinking coffee studying for what ever was next. Even distance could not keep this bromance apart as Chris moved to Minnesota and later Arkansas. Daniel counts Chris one of his closest friends, always positive, loyal, looking out for the best of his crew and there for you when you need him most.
Alex Koltonowski
Bridesmaid
Alex was the 'neighbor up the hill' when Taylor moved to Michigan at age 8 and they were pretty much inseparable after that! It was an extra fun surprise when they found out they have the same birthday, just one year apart. They have had so many adventures together, from cops & robbers, practicing for their drivers test at age 12 (in a barbie car), and climbing trees, to now flying between Mpls and Grand Rapids, MI to see each other. It's been so special to Taylor to have such a close friend who has known her through so many phases of life. Alex is such a supportive, thoughtful and loving friend and Taylor is so thankful she is in her life!

In College Daniel first meet Phil and couldn't image life had he not. Passionate at his core, Phil loved sharing his hobbies and always searching after deeper connection with his unwavering intentionality. Kindered souls and partners in crime, always ready for the next Iowa Irish Fest or group gathering Phil had been pulling together. Daniel has always loved Phil's playful spirit and constant pursuit to know himself better and how that has played out in his friendships.
Lauren Nievinski

Lauren and Taylor met in college at at Sorority Bible Study. They were in in different houses but had a lot of mutual friends. Fast forward to when Taylor moved to Minneapolis and reached out to Lauren who had already been living here for a bit. Lauren introduced Taylor to her church home Grove and the best Thai food in town and quickly became one of her closest friends. They were even roomies for 6 weeks prior to Lauren's wedding in Taylor's 300 sq. ft. apartment! Taylor is so thankful for a friend she can share everything with and the prayer and truth that Lauren speaks into her life on a daily basis.

Daniel met Clint on his second date with Taylor as the two couples explored the Stone Arch Bridge Art Festival. Daniel knew then they would be close friends, from Clint's happy go lucky views on everything to his initially and driven pursuit of what he loves. Clint has always been good to speak truth and identity into both Taylor and Daniel's lives with a listening ear and the love of Jesus. Clint and his wife Lauren are such sweet friends to us!

McKenna was introduced to Taylor through Lauren and they quickly became close friends. Their friendship was sealed when McKenna insisted on making a GF pasta dish for Taylor even though she insisted otherwise. Taylor is so thankful for her passion for truth, their ability connect on a heart level and literally talk about anything and everything. McKenna is so full of life and the love of Jesus it's hard not to notice it when you encounter her. Some of their favorite adventures include traveling to Amman, Jordan & Puerto Rico together. Fun Fact - McKenna pushed Taylor to set up the first date with Daniel asap when she got back, thanks girl!!

Nick came into Daniel's life in his time in South Dakota. While they became friends initially through work the grew closer after Daniel joined CrossFit with Nick and his wife (Jackie). Through the gym and time outside hanging out Daniel loved the comradery he had grown with Nick as they pushed each other physically but more so intentionally in their conversations.

Isaac and Daniel hit it off right away as they met through Taylor and Grove Church. Isaac is such a fun, intentional and personable guy that is hard to not enjoy being around.
