Wedding Party
Shelby Brey
Matron of Honor
Shelby and Sarah go way back- like, it's been 24 years of best-friendship! Our younger days were filled with playing dress-up, making home videos, countless sleepovers, and everything in between. As we got older, our friendship only built through becoming classmates and teammates. Shelby is such an important part of my life and was recently chosen to be Vivian's Godmother, as well.
Joe Schuerman
Best Man
Joe is Jared's Best Man. The two grew up together, played sports together, and within the last few years, became brothers-in-law! Joe is a great friend, BIL, and uncle to Vivian, too!
Mikala Machemehl
Bridesmaid
Sarah and Kala met their freshman year of college at UW Eau Claire and became inseparable. They lived across the hall from each other in the dorms and oddly enough, found out they are both from Central Wisconsin. Sarah is so thankful to have kept such a strong friendship with Kala throughout the last 7 years! Fun fact: Kala is the amazing talent behind all of Jared and Sarah's maternity, newborn, and engagement photos!
Brian Hardina
Groomsman
Brian is Jared's oldest brother and a great one at that! Brian and Jared share a love for craft beer and breweries, and always bring a bottle to share whenever they get together for a visit. Brian is a great uncle to Vivian, and is also her Godfather!
Sadie Foster
Bridesmaid
Sadie is more formally known as one of Sarah's Honorary Big Sisters, but you can also refer to her as one of Sarah's old babysitters (well, not OLD, but... you know ;) ) Sadie has always been one of Sarah's biggest role models, supporters, and of course, a fabulous friend!
Aaron Hardina
Groomsman
Aaron is Jared's other older brother. We love Aaron for his goofy personality and big heart! He and Jared love getting into shenanigans together and having a good time. Aaron is a great dad to our nephew Taylor, and in turn, makes for an awesome uncle to Vivian, too!
Ayla Jakes
Bridesmaid
Ayla and Sarah first met in the Dance Department at UW Stevens Point. Throughout their years together at UWSP, Ayla has been one of Sarah's best friends, best roommates, and best dance buddy. Sarah has loved getting to be one of the "Jakes Girls" each summer which includes a trip further north in Minnesota to spend time shopping and hanging out with Ayla, her mom, and Ollie, Ayla's little sister.
Tim Quick
Groomsman
Tim and Jared have known each other since they were in middle school, growing up together on the basketball court. Jared has been happy to have continued his friendship with Tim through their years together not only at Lincoln High School, but as roommates during their time at UW- La Crosse, as well.
Cassidy Schuerman
Bridesmaid
Cassidy is Jared's younger sister. She and Sarah grew up dancing together at Dance With Pam and will now officially get to call each other Sisters-In-Law!
Dayton Halverson
Groomsman
Dayton has been Jared's closest friend while living in Rochester. He is always down to hit the golf course, or grab a drink at Forager, one of Jared's favorite breweries in town.
