Erik & Megan
Wedding Party
Emily Brinkman
Maid of Honor
This big sis and maid of honor is a world traveler with two degrees under her belt...so far! Studious, hard working, and adventurous are just a few of her best traits. If anyone dares to challenge her in chess, she’s always game.
Dan Rutter
Best Man
The big brother and Best Man to the groom. He is an avid lover of Jiu Jitsu, a great dad to Charlie and Frannie, and to emphasize again, an AVID lover of Jiu Jitsu.
Ben Brinkman
Bridesman
Big brother to the bride. The older twin brother to Emily, and therefore, in his own words, not the middle child. While not one to talk to strangers, you may see him come alive on the dance floor.
Matthew Rutter
Groomsman
Older brother of the groom. He is a world traveler with three continents under his belt. He enjoys practicing Jiu Jitsu and concocting at home Meads and remedies.
Lacey Joseph
Bridesmaid
Sweet forever friend of the bride. These girls first bonded over awkward summer camp nights. From the bride living in France to Lacey now living in Haiti, oceans can’t come between their friendship!
Nick Phillips
Groomsman
Friend of the groom. These two have been friends since high school and kept in touch through the years through their love/hate relationship with poker and of course, video games. If he ever asks you to join in a poker tournament, say no!
Michael Plotkin
Bridesman
Big brother of the bride. Husband to Nikki and dad to Kylie, he was the first of the bunch to start a family. He’s excited to welcome Erik into the fambam and finally have a whiskey drinking partner!
Ben Patterson
Groomsman
Friend of the groom. Ben and the groom became friends in high school and have stuck together since. Ben introduced the groom to the wonderful world of whiskeys, but they will also settle for a good beer.
Juliana Wnuk
Bridesmaid
This beautiful friend of the bride is an avid reader, a published writer, and a world traveler who has been to four continents so far (and has lived in three!). The two became close friends in freshman year of high school gym class where they excelled in avoiding all team sports. They’ve stuck together ever since.
Mike Samosky
Groomsman
Friend of the groom. These two met in high school. Their time in wrestling gave Erik this great blonde photo of Mike. They now share a love for exploring different restaurants and cocktail crafting. He makes a great bar tender on any and every occasion!
Alan Moss
Bridesman
This dear friend of the bride is a talented artist who creates his own cartoons, music, and even language. He first met the bride in French class, and the two later studied abroad together on their first trip to Paris.
Nick Doerflinger
Groomsman
Friend of the groom. Nick and Erik were locker buddies in middle school. They now stay close by living in the same condo building and working at the same company!
Kylie May Plotkin
Flower Girl
Beautiful baby niece and Goddaughter of the bride. This joyful little girl is a ball of endless energy. She is enamored by princesses, Pooh Bear, and any book she finds. She loves her parents, her Nona and Papa, and of course her adoring aunties and uncles!
Blaise Arens
Officiant
Friend of the bride and groom. From road tripping to see the Brewers play in Target Field, helping the two move into the new house, and terraforming mars together, Blaise now will add a new item to the list: officiating their wedding!
