Wedding Party

Natalya Waterhouse

Matron of Honor

Standing alongside Josie; Natalya is my favorite, and only sister. She is ALWAYS down for a chat session, whether its when I am on my way home for work, or anytime her phone rings. She knows how to make anyone laugh, and seems to always be available when I need her. She has been someone I have looked up to for years, always wanting to be as cool as her growing up. I was always proud to call her my sister, and I am even more proud now. She is a truly incredible sister, mother, and friend.

Madelyn Karsten

Maid of Honor

Standing alongside Emily; Madelyn is the funniest girl, with one of the biggest hearts. If she's around, you will never leave a room without a smile on your face. She's that friendship you find in your later years of life, the one that you'll never lose and cherish forever. She knows what I'm thinking without me even needing to say it. She is my soulmate friend and has brought endless happiness into my life.

Maggie Balke

Bridesmaid

Standing alongside Josie; Maggie came into my life at what now seems like the perfect moment. We clicked and found a friendship that I absolutely adore. She is also probably the funniest person I know. Anyone that knows her, knows it is truly impossible to have a bad time if she is around. Between our numerous memes, rocket league sessions, and Packer performance rants (or sometimes positive discussions) I have found a friend that I will cherish for a lifetime.

Lilly Castenholz

Bridesmaid

Standing alongside Emily; The woman with the most beautiful blue eyes. Lilly and I shared so many new experiences together after high school, and I treasure every moment spent with her. When she came into my life, she never left. Lilly taught me so much about friendship, and I couldn't be more grateful. She will love your crazy, and always remind you of how special you are.

Brandee Cady

Bridesmaid

Standing alongside Josie; When I met Brandee we instantly became bestfriends. We were in our shenanigans era at the time, and made sure there was no one in the way of our fun. Some of the best times of my life were shared with her, I will forever be grateful for that. Brandee has been with me in many seasons of life, allowing me to lean on her when I needed it most. Our friendship has never waivered. I really would not be this version of myself if Brandee wasn't in my life.

Ella Englert

Bridesmaid

Standing alongside Emily; My beautiful Ella has been in my life since 3rd grade. When we were little we wanted to play every day, have sleepovers and watch endless scary movies. As we grew up she remained the shoulder I could cry on, and the woman I watched her become is something special. Through the hardest and best of times, she was there for me.

Jessie Widdes

Bridesmaid

Standing alongside Josie; I met Jessie in high school and we were inseparable. I basically became an honorary Rice Lake Warrior for my time spent running around with her. She has always been an incredibly loyal friend. Coming to many basketball and soccer games with a handmade sign in tow. She carried that loyalty into college with an annual trip down to Madison for a Badger game every fall. We have always found time for one another. She is a friend I wish everyone had.

Sidney Brown

Bridesmaid

Standing alongside Emily; The running joke is Sid is my cousin. Though we're not related, we had so many of our new friends believing it. In truth though, Sid is like a cousin or sister to me. We grew up together and the older we got, the closer we got. I found myself when I was with you, and I treasure every memory.

Dayne Cutsforth

Bridesman

Standing alongside Josie; I have known Dayne since the summer before 8th grade. We spent almost everyday together that summer. Not sure if he knows just how much he has impacted my life. Dayne introduced me to what are now some of my favorite movies, games, and music. Always showing me new things I never knew about. If there is ever someone to discuss the ways of the world around us with, it is him. He has always been a friend that challenges me and is excited to learn anything new I throw his way. He has always been an incredible friend to me.

Annika Zelinko

Bridesmaid

Standing alongside Emily; Some of my favorite memories were spent living with this girl. Annika was my after college roommate. Making new friendships in your early 20's can be a chaotic adventure, and she is one of my friends that always had my back. She is the warm hug you need after a long day, and she always made me feel heard.
