Maid of Honor
There truly isn't a love quite like the bond between sisters, and Hannah is blessed to have such a great sister and even better friend. Over the years, and through heartbreaks and tears, Aubrey has always been Hannah's closest confidant. Aubrey's only complaints about their relationship are the various clothing items that have disappeared "randomly" over the years only to be found in Hannah's closet. But, what are sisters for?! Hannah couldn't imagine getting married without her "built-in best friend" by her side!
Best Man
Steve has been Gabe's oldest friend and has always been like a brother to him. Whether it was watching Van Wilder and Billy Madison to our first high school party, he’s always been by Gabe’s side. Steve’s upbeat and positive personality can turn any party into a good time. He currently lives in West Allis, Wisconsin with his wife Katie and their fur babies. He is a Physical Education Teacher and a Defensive Coordinator at Waukesha West, where he and Gabe both played together and graduated from in 2009.

Hannah was fortunate enough to meet Kelsey after rushing Alpha Chi Omega at Virginia Tech, and they quickly became friends along with Abby! Their close friendship blossomed over their love of food, Rick Ross, emotionally unavailable boys and VT Basketball. Through the college and real world years, Hannah has always gone to Kelsey for advice and is so appreciative of their friendship. They are also lucky to share the experience of falling in love and marrying a Wisconsin boy! Lucky for Kelsey, she has always been a Packers fan, but the verdict is still out if Hannah will be switching loyalty anytime soon.

Codi and Gabe's friendship began the summer before high school after meeting through their mutual friend, Drew. Codi is the creative mind of the friend group and is extremely talented. Gabe quickly found this out when Codi created a dragon in ceramics that blew smoke out its nose, a true masterpiece. During Gabe’s many house parties you could find Codi distracting Gabe's mom with compliments. If it weren’t for him, Gabe probably would still be grounded. Codi currently lives in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and works as a Graphic Designer at Godfrey & Kahn. .
Bridesmaid
Abby came in like a wrecking ball to Hannah's life when they pledged Alpha Chi Omega together freshman year at Virginia Tech and she swears life has been way more fun ever since! Hannah can't reminisce on her college years without thinking about all the great memories shared with Kelsey and Abby. From wild nights at Big Al's, Spring Break trips to Cancun (Hi Francine) and becoming Phi Sig Sweethearts together, to growing up, getting engaged and navigating the real world, Hannah is truly blessed to have a friend like Abby to laugh, cry (and eat) through it all. As Hannah enters this next phase of life she is so blessed to have a great friend like Abby by her side and can't wait to break it down on the dance floor on her big day!
Groomsman
Chris and Gabe started their friendship in the U.S. Navy during a rigorous training course. Chris’ uncanny ability to tell people exactly what he is thinking was one of the many reasons they became such good friends. The no holds barred banter created a bond that has been going strong for five years, with no end in sight. There are many times where Gabe and Hannah will “cold call” Chris and head over to his house for some beverages. These nights usually involve long stories, laughs, and the obligatory next morning headache.
Bridesmaid
The day Lindsay and Hannah became friends with Dana in the 8th grade was also the day they officially became "cool" and life hasn't been the same since! Looking back at high school, and the start of the "Peanut Crew," there isn't a single memory that doesn't have Dana in it--many of which aren't appropriate enough for print. From the college years to now, Hannah is blessed to have such a strong friendship with Dana and the rest of the "crew", and she knows how rare they can be these days. Luckily, Dana splits her time between Richmond and Virginia Beach these days, giving them tons of time to hang out. She's one of the best friends to have fun with, but even more importantly, just do nothing with. Hannah is so looking forward to Dana being there (and being on time) with her on the big day!
Groomsman
Pat was Gabe's first friend after joining the Navy. Of course, it probably helped they were both from Wisconsin and had similar interests like enjoying the “occasional” beer. Pat helped Gabe lay the foundation to become a successful sailor by motivating him and teaching him the “rules of the road”. Gabe and Pat have continued their relationship for over the last ten years of Gabe's naval career. Pat owns and operates his own business, Embrace Wellness in Motion in Osseo, Wisconsin. When Pat is not hunting or helping the community you can find him hanging out with his beautiful family.
Bridesmaid
Hannah is grateful she has a life-long friend like Lindsay standing by her side on her big day! Ever since they quickly became friends over their love of Limited Too at Centerville Elementary School nearly 25 years ago (Wow that's old), Hannah doesn't remember a birthday or life event where Lindsay wasn't by her side to just hang out or to start the party! They joined forces in high school with their two other BFFs, Dana and Marina, forming the "Peanut Crew" and the foursome has been making mischief ever since! If you ever need a hype man, Lindsay is your girl!
Groomsman
Drew and Gabe started their friendship in 7th grade on the football field, where Drew was the starting quarterback. There was never a time or situation where Drew wasn't there to provide comic relief. It’s interesting that Drew was somehow always around when mischief occurred, especially if you ask Gabe's mom. To this day, we’re all still debating who killed the fish at the house party Gabe threw his sophomore year. He currently lives in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, and is a Lawyer at Hinshaw & Culbertson in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Marina rounds the "Peanut Crew", and when you meet her its easy to see why anyone would want to be her friend! Her one-of-a-kind personality makes any time spent with her unbelievably fun-- that includes dying at HS field hockey practices after a night of underage drinking, nights out on the Vegas strip or even hunting down alligators in the swamps of Louisiana. Hannah is so grateful she is a bridesmaid and can guarantee you will see a dance battle between Marina and Abby at the reception!
Groomsman
Miller is Gabe's oldest nephew and Gabe has the honor of also being his Godfather. Gabe can remember the day young Miller was dubbed “Baby Buddha,” but all he can talk about today is the stellar grown man Miller has become. He excels on the baseball diamond and in the classroom as a scholar athlete at Winona State University in Winona, Minnesota. His dedication and work ethic has made the entire family incredibly proud, and Gabe can’t wait to share this big day with him!
Bridesmaid
Jess and Hannah met one Friday night at their favorite place, Chick's Oyster Bar, and have been great friends ever since! From numerous beach days and nights out on Shore Drive to music festivals and deployment sleepovers, Hannah is so grateful to have such a bubbly and energetic friend like Jess and can't be more excited that she will be by her side on the big day!
Groomsman
Jon and Gabe befriended each other during a rigorous training course for the U.S. Navy. Jon pushed Gabe through the toughest times with Jon's form of "tough love motivation." For that, Gabe is forever grateful. Jon had the pleasure of living with Hannah and Gabe through the height of the pandemic. Jon, his wife Bre, and their beautiful children Rye, Emma, and Braxton are always on the go, but always make time to enjoy a nice dinner or a few too many glasses of wine with Hannah and Gabe.
