Ethan & Madelynn
Wedding Party
Will Bryden
Best Man
Ethan and Will met in Boston in 2018, where Ethan lived for 2 years after graduating from college. They met through a church called Hillsong and quickly became best friends. Ethan and Will have spent countless hours walking many miles together exploring the streets of Boston and Philadelphia. To top it off, they liked each other enough to live together as roommates for a year!
Lauren Flannagan
Maid of Honor
Madelynn and Lauren met in their Physician Assistant program in Delaware in 2018. They were in the same cadaver dissection group, where Lauren helped Maddy more times than she can count with anatomy. They survived their 2-year program together and through the process, became best friends. They have gone on multiple trips together, including New England, Arizona, Indiana, and other East Coast locations. They have the same taste in basically everything and just "get" each other. She is also the godmother/fun aunt to our puppies, Scout and Cooper!
Brendan Noronha
Groomsman
Ethan and Brendan met in Boston in 2018 through a church called Hillsong at a small group that he and his wife, Tiffany, hosted. Brendan, Will, and Ethan all became good friends through this. The three of them spent many late (weekday) nights talking about a variety of topics, and life in general, getting to know each other better while Ethan still lived in Boston.
Gabrielle Milillo
Bridesmaid
Madelynn and Gabrielle have been best friends since birth (actually though - we have pictures to prove it). Their mothers, Jackie and Debbie, met as nurses and were pregnant at the same time. They participated in years of dance classes and recitals together. Coincidentally, they joined the same sorority freshman year of college and re-established their lifelong friendship.
Kyle Hinrichs
Groomsman
Ethan and Kyle met one night in 2019 when Kyle saw Ethan and his dog, Scout, in their apartment complex. He approached them for a puppy playdate with his dog, Zeke, and the two dogs (and owners) hit it off right away. Kyle and Ethan both work at the same company and have spent probably way too much money at TopGolf in New Jersey.
Lauren Wasser
Bridesmaid
Madelynn and Lauren met when they were neighbors in the dorms freshman year at the University of Arizona. Their close living proximity started a friendship that endures 8 years later. They also joined the same sorority and became even closer through this. Lauren recently married her husband, Blair, and Madelynn has loved getting to share this new chapter of their lives together!
Kassie Shaw
Bridesmaid
Madelynn and Kassie met when they were both Resident Assistants in the dorms at the University of Arizona in 2015. They bonded over their jobs and quickly established a close friendship. They also lived together during Madelynn's senior year and Kassie's junior year of college. Madelynn and Kassie have had many life chats and always have each other to confide in.
Jeff Klier
Groomsman
Jeff is Ethan's brother-in-law, who is married to his sister Victoria. He is also the father to Colin and Lauren. Ethan and Jeff have known each other for the past 12 years. Jeff's unique sense of humor and general presence has always been a lot of fun to be around. Ethan always knows he's going to have a fun time when Jeff is there.
Victoria Klier
Bridesmaid
Victoria is Ethan's older sister and mom to the cutest toddler, Colin, and baby, Lauren. Madelynn and Victoria have spent time together over the years and have formed a friendship that Madelynn is excited to continue in the years to come. Like her husband Jeff, Victoria has a fun energy and you can always count on her to have a good time. Madelynn is looking forward to her being one of the sisters she never had!
Andy Chouinard
Groomsman
Andy is Ethan's brother-in-law, who is married to his oldest sister Olivia and is the dad of Caleb, Lena, Isaac, and Josiah. Ethan has always enjoyed getting to share similar interests with him, whether it be playing sports, shooting compound bows, or general outdoor activities. When Ethan was living in Boston, he spent many weekends at their house in New Hampshire.
Olivia Chouinard
Bridesmaid
Olivia is Ethan's oldest sister and mom to 4 adorable children (Caleb, Lena, Isaac, & Josiah). Despite Olivia living in New Hampshire, she and Madelynn have formed a great relationship. She was kind enough to let Madelynn, who was basically a stranger at the time, stay at her house while she visited Ethan during the first summer they were dating. They will always be thankful for that! Madelynn is thankful to gain 2 new sisters to go through life with.
