Addison & David
Wedding Party

My brother and I started our brotherly love after he came home from the hospital wearing MY blankie and supposedly I didn't take it very well. We've come a long way since then, via wrestling matches which usually ended with one of us crying, bleeding, or both or the countless hours we spent playing basketball and baseball at our middle school just down the road (where I coincidentally met my wife). And can't forget about our fishing adventures all over Wisconsin, from meeting Bigfoot on the Willow Reservoir to fishing the Mighty Mississippi, memories that'll last a lifetime. I can't think of a better person to have shared them with. As David and Addison's special day approaches, I can't help but wonder what great experiences and triumphs the Lord has for them. I for one, can't wait.

I met Addison at the start of physical therapy school and we became fast friends bonding over studying and our love of coffee. She has since become an amazing friend to me and it has been a joy getting to better know her and David!

David and I met freshman year in high school as we were getting ready for the start of spring baseball. Unfortunately, he did happen to break my arm at the start with a baseball, but I guess that was the start of a great friendship. We both share many great passions with the biggest being the outdoors. I couldn’t be more excited to be a part of David and Addison’s special day and really look forward to what their future holds.

Addy and I met when we were lab partners in freshman biology at St Olaf College, where we quickly bonded over a mutual frustration with excel spreadsheets. I am so glad we sat at the same table that first day because it led to eight fantastic years of friendship. I am incredibly honored to stand by her side on her big day!

I met David for the first time in small group at Candeo Church. We both joined the group at the same time and immediately began talking about bow hunting. We found later that we have a lot in common whether it be about Jesus, podcasts, hunting, or movies, we always have something to talk about. I am super excited to be a part of his wedding and look forward to seeing God continue to work in their lives after they tie the knot! I am happy to call David a great friend of mine.

Addison and I became friends through church small group that we both joined at the same time. Each week we would get to know each other a little bit more, we started to go on Panera dates and then go on double dates with our significant others. We became close friends rather quickly. I was so excited for Addison and David when they got engaged and so honored to be asked to be a part of their wedding. I wish them nothing but happiness and pray that their marriage is centered around God, which I know is what they desire.
