Wedding Party
Annalise Bell
Maid of Honor
Annalise has been my best friend for the past four years. We lived together throughout our college years in St. Paul and built an unbreakable bond filled with countless memories, laughter, and late-night talks. She has truly become family to me and has always been my go-to girl through every season of life. We hold each other accountable in our faith and it’s such a blessing to have a friend like her. I can’t wait for so many more memories and special moments with her.
Cody Osborn
Best Man
Cody is Cade’s third-oldest brother and biological brother, which meant the two were always together growing up. Words truly can’t capture what Cody means to Cade. In many ways, Cody was Cade’s trailblazer in life—whatever Cody did, Cade wanted to do. Cade fought like hell to keep up and compete with him. Through incredible highs and lows over the years, Cade has always been grateful to have Cody not only as a brother, but also as a best friend and someone who is always in his corner.
Emma Germundson
Bridesmaid
Emma is my sister, and I’m so grateful to have her standing by my side on this special day—especially after I had the honor of standing beside her on her wedding day last year. We’ve gone through life together, sharing so many memories along the way. I feel so lucky that we get to keep celebrating life’s biggest milestones with each other.
Noah Schober
Groomsman
Noah is Cade’s second-oldest brother. Growing up, Cade often served as Noah and Cody’s tackling dummy (there’s video proof). Cade looked up to Noah in many ways—socially, in sports, and in the way he carried himself with friends and teammates. They share countless memories from growing up together. When Cade transferred to UWL, he even got the chance to live with Noah, though unfortunately Covid kept them from playing football together.
Maggie Germundson
Bridesmaid
I’m so lucky to have two amazing sisters, and I’m especially grateful that I got to live with Maggie for a few months last year in-between my moves. That time together meant so much to me and gave us the chance to grow even closer. Maggie is someone I can always count on—she’s always there when I need help and never hesitates to have my back. I’m so thankful for her love and support.
Isaac Schober
Groomsman
Isaac, often called Izzy, is Cade’s oldest brother. Growing up, Isaac always had Cade’s back, often stepping in to make sure his younger brother didn’t get picked on too much by the others. Cade has always admired Isaac’s work ethic, independence, and determination in pursuing his goals. Having an older brother like Isaac to look up to has meant a lot throughout Cade’s life.
Chloe Narr
Bridesmaid
Chloe is my cousin and we are only 5 months apart, which made growing up together twice the fun. From childhood adventures to all the moments in between, we’ve always been each other’s biggest cheerleaders and partners in crime. There’s truly never a dull moment when we’re together—we’ve basically been attached at the hip our whole lives. I couldn’t imagine this day without her, and I know she’ll make this big family celebration even more of a riot!
Mitchell Merkel (Merk)
Groomsman
Mitchell, better known as Merk, is Cade’s lifelong friend—they’ve been close since elementary school. Growing up, they played sports together while also serving as water boys for their older brothers’ teams. From there, their friendship only grew stronger. They spent countless days with their core group of friends, making memories at Mitchell’s pool or hanging out in Cade’s parents’ basements. Even in college they stayed close, as Cade lived with Merk and Jordy while interning in the Twin Cities, and later lived with Merk and Mike for two years after graduation.
Maria Holtmeier
Bridesmaid
Maria and I became close after college, and I’m so grateful our paths crossed. Our sense of humor is perfectly matched, and we somehow manage to chat almost every day since she moved to Chicago. We are always checking in on each other no matter what life has going on. She’s the kind of friend who’s always there to pick me up when I need it most, whether it’s with a laugh, a pep talk, or just being there. I’m so grateful for Maria and so so glad she’s making/made the move back to MN in July 2026!!
Tristan Root (Trit)
Groomsman
Cade and Trit have been friends since middle school. Tristan even gave Cade the honor of being his confirmation sponsor in high school. Their friendship grew stronger through sports, constantly pushing each other to become better football and baseball players—and better athletes overall. Cade trusted Trit enough to let him call pitches as his catcher during baseball games. They both went on to play college football, leaning on each other for advice, confidence, and the occasional highlight tape.
Kiki Hankinson
Bridesmaid
Kiki and I also met after college. The year after she graduated from the U of M, we moved in together, and during that time we did just about everything side by side. She is the sweetest friend with the kindest heart, and living together in the north loop of Minneapolis created some of my fondest memories. Even after moving apart, we’ve stayed incredibly close- always sharing laughs and always being there for each other when it matters most.
Ben Michalowski (Chenny)
Groomsman
Famously known as Chenny, Cade met him while playing football at UWL. With similar personalities, the two quickly became close friends, especially during their senior year. They made the most of their final months in college, spending what felt like every day together. From trips to Milwaukee, Punta Cana, and Colorado, they were always looking for the next adventure and the next great memory.
Violet Gruett
Brides personal attendant
Violet and I have been best friends since freshman year of college. Our freshman year at CSP truly bonded us for life. Since then, she has been one of my biggest support systems. She’s the person I turn to in the quiet moments and also my go-to girl for dancing to Mamma Mia on a stage (haha). Even though she lives in Arizona we remain connected and always are there for each other.
Will Jordahl (Jordy)
Usher
Will, better known as Jordy, has been one of Cade’s closest friends since they played traveling basketball together in sixth grade. After Cade convinced Jordy to transfer to Regis High School, they continued playing football and basketball together and spent countless days hanging out. Now both living in the Twin Cities, they’ve kept the friendship going strong through rec league basketball, golf rounds, and plenty of weekends spent together.
Michael Arrell
Usher
Mike was one of Cade’s first friends after moving to the Twin Cities, and the two ended up being roommates for two years. Through shared experiences, nights out, golf rounds, and navigating the first years of post-college life, their friendship quickly grew. Cade still hasn’t beaten Mike on the golf course—but he’s confident that day is coming soon.
