Luke & Ava
Wedding Party
Emma Skinner
Matron of Honor
The span of my friendship with Emma is equivalent to my soon-to-be husband. After surviving middle school, high school, college, and now early adulthood together, she's family. I lived no more than 15 minutes away from her when we were kids and essentially shared a room with her for two years in college, but now we live a whole plane ride away (PA to MN). Fortunately we FaceTime often, sometimes talking with a purpose and other times simply enjoying the company of a best friend. I was lucky to stand by her side in July 2024 when she said "I Do" and I can't imagine getting married without her by mine. I am extremely grateful to have a friend so joyous, faith-filled, and loyal.
Tyler deBeauclair
Best Man
If you've known me for more than a day, you'll know there are few things I've done in life without my brothers by my side. Now if you know Tyler too, you know he has many opinions that he is happy to share. A normal day for me consists of at least three phone calls with Tyler where we share unsolicited NFL takes. Though annoying at times (what brother isn't), I wouldn't be who I am today without his unfiltered guidance, tough love when needed, and unconditional support. There hasn't been a step I've taken in life without him in my corner and my wedding day will be no different.
Andrea Kennedy
Bridesmaid
Andrea was my first and one of the only college roommates I had. In the summer of 2021, we were both searching for roommates on Facebook since COVID changed what freshman year looked like for both of us. I don't know how it worked out, but I was beyond lucky to find a friend and roommate like her. We've travelled from Hawaii to Europe together and she was there as Luke and I went from friends, to dating, to engaged, and now soon-to-be married. Her brutal honesty, dry humor, and all-in approach to life has added so much fun to my life and I can't wait for her to bring that to our big day.
Zach deBeauclair
Groomsman
Few people make me laugh more than my younger brother. His down-for-anything attitude and easy-going nature makes him one of my favorite people to spend time with. Whether it's playing games, going for runs, or hitting a disc golf course, I know I'm in for a good time. He might be intrinsically quieter than myself or Tyler, but I have so much respect for how true-to-himself and humble he is. To say he means a lot to me would be a gross understatement. I feel incredibly blessed for the role Zach has had in my life and I can't imagine my wedding without him.
Erin Skibicki
Bridesmaid
I'm not really a believer in the whole "twin flame" concept, but Erin is probably as close as it gets for me. In high school we had numerous mutual friends, but weren't close until a year after initially meeting. Little did I know just how close we would become. We came to realize we had a shared love for Costco (lol), had aspirations of becoming nurses, and shared a love for family and our community. She's wise beyond her years and has been a voice of reason for me often. I feel blessed to have a friend who understands me so well and knows what I'm thinking with no more than a look.
Dylan Bilicki
Groomsman
Dylan might not be actually related by blood, but he is a third brother by any standards. We grew up as teammates on the Jumpin' Allstars and he travelled with my brothers and I often. We won at grand national competition in the U.S. and went on to find success at the World Championship. He is the most loyal person I know and when he sets his sights on something watch out. Growing up together and now as an adult, I strive to have a work ethic and determination as impressive as his. This past October I was honored to watch him marry his lovely wife, Ang, and I am so grateful to have him stand by my side a year later at my own wedding.
