Taylor & Tommy
Wedding Party
Katy Hertel
Bridesfriend
Kates and I go all the way back to 4th grade. In 8th grade, I had a huge voice crack while performing "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer Jr." in front of our whole school, and Katy was the only one gutsy enough to tell me just how truly horrible it was. She recently moved back to NYC, which makes us a little less long distance than when she was in London. Katy inspires me constantly, and I love the way she takes the world head on.
Carrie Herian
Bridesfriend
Before getting to know Carrie, a mutual friend told me that one time she went over to Carrie's house for a group project, and found Carrie on her riding lawn mower, smoking a cigar. She's got a heart of gold and the thickest Wisconsin accent I've ever encountered, and I'm eternally grateful to be friends with one of Grafton's finest.
Allyson Genger
Bridesfriend
There's a note in my iPhone from 2014 that just says "ALLYSON SAYS WE NEED TO SING 'BAD MAMA JAMA". Although Allyson and I were friends through our sorority, we really bonded when she contracted mono and had to miss her Senior Week. I am so happy that happened for me! Whenever I need a hike, a beer, a big smile, or a dance partner, Allyson is there. I've loved traveling with her and can't wait for some more globe trots!
Ginny Dillon
Bridesfriend
I first met Virginia at a Pi Beta Phi formal party, where she convinced me to sneak a Hobbit themed beer into the event. I dropped the beer, cut my hand, and was promptly kicked out. Little did I know we would become fast friends, roommates, and co-parents to Furlein. It also may be true that one night I called her Laura at Dog Haus. Ginny is attending The University of Minnesota to obtain her DNP, and I hope to one day fully understand the medical terms in her full degree!
Sarah Swartz
Bridesfriend
I've never had a dull day with Sarah. Not one. She's kicking ass and taking names in Bend, OR where she's a beer expert and a floral sage. We've shared a few champagne floats in our time together, and more than a few backyard dance parties. Sarah lives her life to the maximum potential (whether that's been in her Bend backyard or hiking Mt. Kilimanjaro), and we could all take a leaf out of her book. Cheers to an incredible sister!
Grace Andrzejewski
Bridesfriend
Gracie and I met through Pi Beta Phi (couldn't you tell we're sorority girls!?). Even though I've got a solid 6 inches on her, she was my big and one of my first friends at Marquette. She is comforting, wise, and cares deeply for all those she meets- she also dressed up as Kyle from The Amanda Show for a truly entertaining date party. You could say she's a woman of many talents!
Andrea Bonaccorsi
Bridesfriend
Andrea and I met as two of Marquette's newest transfer students, and were lucky enough to be in the same major programs. We also studied abroad in Copenhagen together, which was obviously very academic and enriching. Bon and I bonded over many long nights at our tiny kitchen table during our first years of teaching, and I wouldn't change those late nights (and Monster Energy- coffee flavors) for the world. Bon, if you ever need to choose plan D, I'll move to South Dakota with you!
Joe Bartoletti
Best Man
Joe and I grew close during trips to New Orleans and NYC, caring way too much about Marquette basketball, and appreciation for all things outdoors. As energetic and caring as they come, Dr. Barto is currently working on making Chacos the official footwear on the hospital floor.
Alex Gall
Groomsman
I tried so hard to impress Taylor's brother the first time we hung out that I ended up with a nice welt in between my eyes (don't ask, I'm still embarrassed). Alex and I got to know each other well over summer trips up to Door County, sharing Wisconsin's finest lagers around the campfire. While great at many board games, he especially shines in Chardee MacDennis.
George Herrmann
Groomsman
More than just my random roommate Freshman year in O'Donnell Hall - George became one of my closest friends (in spite of his poor taste in Chicago sports teams). Between skiing in Utah, meeting in Paris for a day, and kicking back in the Rock Room, George is there and ready for a good time. Alright, alright, alright.
Tyler Foley
Groomsman
Tyler and I played everything together growing up - baseball, basketball, football, and mostly skipping swimming practices together (sorry Crispin). As the founding members of the Reggie Evans fan club, we're always accepting applications.
Ian Baker
Groomsman
What happens when you put two church basketball legends on the court together? Magic, that's what happens. Between our days in Des Moines and Milwaukee, some of my fondest adventures started with Ian and I taking off on a bike ride. Let's rock, let's rock today.
John Lewis
Groomsman
One of my oldest pals, our friendship started at Boulevard Pre-School. JLew and I visited each other between Milwaukee and Chicago countless times - although most of the memories are a tad fuzzy. I'm pretty sure we still hold the record for most consecutive rides on the Arnolds Park rollercoaster.
Nate Hams
Groomsman
Nate and I met on a trip to New Orleans, I quickly found someone equally as excited to spend a night spinning records and drinking Cold Snacks. The grooviest guy I know - if LCD Soundsystem ever needs someone to play the backup air keyboard, Nate has my vote.
Kevin Selwa
Usher
The artist formerly known as Cookie - a man of many talents, jokes, and Looney Toons trivia. He and I share many accolades: 3 time roommates, 2 time Beer Ball Champions, 1 time he's beaten me in Blacktop. This man knows his way around a Pinot or two!
Andy Lehtinen
Usher
Whether he's slappin' the bass, keeping rhythm on the drums, or making up new rules to racquetball - ol' Randy here brings the funk to whatever he does. If you bump into him at the bar, ask for his Robert De Niro impersonation!
