Maid of Honor
Rachel is my best friend and roommate from college. Once we got to know each other we were immediate friends! Rachel is currently killing it as a public defense lawyer. Even though we don't see each other as much she still has a way of influencing my life in the best ways!
Best Man
Owen is my little brother who was suddenly taller than me when I came home from college. There may be a little age difference but we have stayed close through our love of sports and and even co-captained a fantasy football team to take on our dad and his friends!
Bridesmaid
How do you even describe someone you have been friends with for 20+ years? Laura and I met in Kindergarten and have been friends ever since. We have grown up together, gone through every part of our lives together, and now we are getting married only months apart! I wouldn't change a thing, I mean who else would I panic text about wedding planning?
Groomsman
Nate and I’ve been friends since middle school. I guess I should thank him for making it easy to find my future wife as he is also Emily’s older brother. He’s a fun guy to be around as long as he isn’t getting injured!
Bridesmaid
Sarah and I have been friends since elementary school. We stood back row in choir when she and I were the same height and I am not sure what happened but she stopped growing after fifth grade! Then she had to put up with carpooling with me in high school in my old car that didn't even have AC. Now, she even puts up with me crashing with her wherever her travel nurse job takes her!
Groomsman
Growing up Ben was always around, as he is Nate and Emily’s younger brother,but we never really talked. Now days we get along well and he’s easy to talk to and we get chatting Emily often tells us to shut up.
Bridesmaid
Hollis and I have been friends since Freshman year of high school when we tried to convince everyone we were cousins because before she was married she was a Schroeder. Even though it is a bummer that we won't be able to convenience people we are related I am glad that we are still friends and can have doggy play dates so Bo can ignore Tucker.
Groomsman
Jake is my cousin and I remember summers on the lake at grandma and grandpas cabin. He is the closest cousin in age to me so it was always fun to hangout and it’s great that we still get it hangout! Jake and Emily also get along well as we all went to the same high school but they graduated together, small world right?
Bridesmaid
My life's greatest achievement: one-time Karina and I hung out for 12 weekends straight! She third-wheeled griffin and me so often that she was basically part of the relationship. Even though when our other friends traveled away she didn't think she would have anyone to hang out with... Thanks for always hanging out with me anyway!
Groomsman
I have known Eric since high school, we all used to hangout at Nate’s (and Emily’s) parents house. Eric is always down to play video games and to compete against each other. Every month some of the guys and me go and do a video game tournament against Eric to see if we can beat him!
Bridesmaid
Callie is Griffin's younger sister and the sister I never had! Cal is the sweetest person you will ever meet and when in doubt she always gives me good advice. I know I can text her about anything whenever and even if it takes a few days to get back to me ;) she always comes through! I am so excited to be able to call her family.
Groomsman
Brandon and I have been friends since high school and he’s always been the nicest most laid back dude. He’s always a good time but it never hurts to get him some of his favorite Busch lattes to drink to get the party started.
Officiant
Ross is my lab-grown twin, we may not have the same family, but we are basically the same person. We met in graduate school when I announced to him that we were going to be friends, and from then on the rest is history. He has stuck around and become friends with Griffin too. You can find us going out for a drink or staying in for a game night!
