Wedding Party
Jake Sponholtz
Officiant
Jake and Tyler met in high school, and the rest is history. Jake is always up for any adventure, but just as importantly, he’s the steady, level-headed voice when Bri and Tyler need it most. What started as a running joke while mini golfing that Jake would officiate their wedding, has now become a reality, and they wouldn’t have it any other way.
Kailey Kennow
Maid of Honor
Kailey and Bri met their first year of college, and from that moment on, she’s been a constant in Bri’s life. Through tough practices, long bus rides, and growing up together, Kailey has always been there. Bri truly couldn’t imagine this day without her standing beside her as maid of honor, another milestone in a friendship that’s grown through it all.
JT Potega
Groomsman
JT and Tyler met through baseball in their sophomore year of high school and have been buddies ever since! JT has always been there for Tyler, whether they rant about work, or to go shoot carp. Tyler could not imagine a better friend by his side.
Sara Pappas
Bridesmaid
Sara is Bri’s future sister-in-law. She and Bri met shortly after she and Tyler began dating and quickly became the kind of family Bri didn’t realize she was missing. Sara is always someone Bri can turn to whether for thoughtful advice, especially when it comes to work, or just to talk things through. She truly is the kind of big sister anyone would be lucky to have.
Michael Pappas
Groomsman
Michael is Tyler’s brother-in-law, but you’d never guess it! They’ve had a bond that feels like a lifetime. Their connection is effortless, and whenever they’re together, you can count on nonstop laughs and the kind of energy that fills the whole room.
Sarah Woulfe
Bridesmaid
Sarah and Bri bonded over their time in graduate school at UWM. They’ve been through long nights, hard tests, and challenging internship experiences, but not once did Sarah’s kindness, support and friendship waiver or fade. The wedding wouldn’t mean as much without here there.
Mike Schmidt
Groomsman
Mike is more than a friend, he is family. He’s been by Tyler and Bri’s side since the very beginning, showing up for every adventure without question! Mike is always up for late night laughs and makes the good nights great! His loyalty and constant presence mean more to us than words can fully express.
Kim Schmidt
Bridesmaid
Kim's friendship has been a wonderful addition to my life. Her kindness, sense of humor, and encouragement make her someone I'm incredibly thankful to call a friend and to have standing beside me.
Meghan Schmidt
Bridesmaid
Sometimes the best friendships don't take years to form, and I am so grateful for the connection we have built! Meghan brings so much positivity and always makes others smile around her wherever she goes. I could not imagine celebrating this special day without her by my side.
