Wedding Party
Taylor Gleesing
Maid of Honor
Maddie & Taylor have an interesting family dynamic. Although they share no blood, they share family! Brooke, Kimberly, and Nicole who are Maddie's sisters are also Taylor's. The two have been best friends since the other was born. They never care what they're doing - as long as they are together, they make it a great time. Taylor has always been incredibly supportive and loyal. Being Maddie's biggest cheerleader, Taylor is ready to back up whatever decision she makes (good or bad!) - making her truly one of the dearest best friends there is.
Jesse Paredes
Best Man
Jesse is Ezra's younger brother. A year apart in age, Ezra couldn't have asked for a better teammate in life growing up. From sports, to TV shows, to video games, they did everything side by side. The word "brother" doesn't serve justice to the bond they share. They are the example of love between brothers. Jesse can be conservative at first, but get him going and he'll have you laughing for hours. Ask him about Grizzly, UFC, Barcelona, or Messi, and be prepared to talk about nothing else for the next 15 minutes.
Savanah Velez
Bridesmaid
Savanah is Maddie's youngest sister. Maddie will say that one of her biggest blessings in life was the day her baby sister was born. These girls grew up together in the same home. Most of their time was spent watching Disney Channel (no matter the age) or dancing around the kitchen listening to old music their mom passed down for taste. Savanah is a very wild child - always keeping everyone on their toes. You never know what Savanah will say next!
Jose Regalado
Groomsman
Although not related by blood, Jose couldn't be anymore of a little brother to Ezra. Introduced to Ezra by his younger brother Jesse - Jose and Ezra became family very quickly. Jose loves to spend his free time attending Jiu Jitsu classes. He is a selfless, kind, and dependable person. Call on Jose and he'll be there.
Nicole Schoenfeld
Bridesmaid
Nicole is Maddie's "oldest youngest sister", they like to say. From a young age to now, Maddie & Nicole have always been close. They have the "No Time Lost" type of relationship. No matter how much time passes, they can always pick up wherever they left off. Nicole is always coming up with crazy, hilarious things to say - whenever Maddie is feeling down, she always knows where to go for a good laugh!
Nick Kerzner
Groomsman
A true friend from the beginning. Nick Kerzner has solidified his place in Ezra's life forever. Nick and Ezra met in high school and day by day grew closer in brotherhood than either could imagine. Once you see him - no one has to tell you that Nick lives at the gym. His discipline, drive, and nobility are contagious. You can't help but want to be around him.
Kimberly VonIderstine
Bridesmaid
Kimberly is Maddie's big sister. These two have always been close. Kimberly has been a great role-model in Maddie's life - especially in regards to faith. A lot of where Maddie stands in her faith today is from Kimberly's guidance. Kimberly is a great help to any situation and is incredible at giving advice. Whenever Maddie needs a finger to point to the right direction, Kimberly is top of the list as to who to call first!
Cameron Pacala
Groomsman
Cameron is a life long friend of Ezra. They met in 8th grade gym class where Cameron so graciously extended his hand out to the new kid at school. That, seemingly, small moment of a much needed welcome turned into a life time of friendship and brotherhood for them. When they get together, the two are inseparable. Cameron is a very easy going, warm hearted guy who enjoys nature. Walks, hikes, biking, or kayaking. Cameron is always up for a good time in the good old outdoors.
Brooke Ulrich
Bridesmaid
Brooke is Maddie's oldest sister. Shortest, but oldest! Their favorite tradition is going to the Buckskinner's together - a yearly things all the sisters do! If you're not familiar with the Buckskinners, google it! Brooke loves to give advice, so she is known in the family as someone to go to when they are really stuck with what to do next in life! Brooke will have your back in any situation - she is always ready to fight for her family!
John Krecioch
Groomsman
John and Ezra met in 8th grade. Being a very conserved person, it was difficult for Ezra to crack John's code at first. The quiet, short interactions they had the first few days eventually turned into years upon years of meaningful conversation consisting of trust, gratitude, and true appreciation of one another. Get to know John and you'll quickly realize the talent he possess in the various aspects of art. Photography, drawing, editing, and design. His work shows the same commitment, dedication, and patience he has for his friends and family.
Ezra Paredes Sr.
Officiant
The officiant of this marriage is Ezra Paredes Sr. - pastor of "Ven Y Descansaras / Come And Rest" church in Fon Du Lac. Ezra Sr. is a loving, caring, astute man with a passion for Jesus and an undying love for his family. Being the best handyman in the midwest takes a lot out of him, so Ezra Sr. enjoys relaxing at home with his fur babies - Jiffy, Peanut, and Grizzly.
