Jesse & Kyle
Wedding Party
Morgan Sturm
Matron of Honor
Jesse's College Roommate Morgan and Jesse were roommates at University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire for two years. They've shared countless movie nights, laugh attacks, and have even traveled abroad to the Dominican Republic together. Morgan is a Special Education teacher and lives in Prior Lake, MN.
Max Vielmetti
Best Man
Kyle's Childhood Friend. Max moved in down the street from Kyle when they were in 3rd grade, but Kyle was just "the weird kid down the street" until they started playing Cardinal Football together two years later. Then, as they say, the rest is history. From 5th Grade through the end of High School, it was rare to see one of the boys without the other. Football, Shot and Discus, Shooting, Spread Eagle, Arizona, Call of Duty, and Lake Ellen were just some of the activities and places the two have shared together.
Rachel Wiedenhoeft
Bridesmaid
Jesse's High School Friend. Rachel was the first person to come up and say hi to Jesse in high school. They had met each other at volleyball tryouts right before freshman year started. Jesse knew no one as she didn't live in the district; however, Rachel came up, introduced herself, and that's how their friendship started. Jesse will always be grateful for her simple 'hello'.
Ronny Barnes
Groomsman
Kyle's Friend. Kyle and Ronny began working together at The Carlstar Group when Kyle relocated to Aiken, South Carolina. Ronny and Kyle enjoyed fishing, camping, golfing, and being on the water together while Kyle lived in South Carolina, and remain good friends despite Kyle moving back to Wisconsin.
Ashley Ginn
Bridesmaid
Jesse's roommate during her first Disney College Program. Ashley and Jesse met on their Disney College Program back in 2017. They immediately clicked and became friends. Ashley had never been to Disney before, so Jesse made it a goal to visit every park together. They now have their "signature" photo with Ashley on top of Jesse's back, as they did accomplish going to all 4 theme parks and water park. Ashley is an "old-soul", enjoys 80s music, and LOVES watching "That 70's Show". It was INEVITABLE that she would befriend a Wisconsite! Ashley currently lives in Seattle, WA, but is from Danville, Indiana.
Conor Cocking
Groomsman
Kyle's College Friend. Kyle and Conor met on their recruiting visit to Michigan Tech, and became friends immediately upon starting their 5 years at school together. From hitting each other during football practice to cracking heads before games, bonfires on the beach, and getting multiple vehicles stuck in the woods, it's safe to say there were enough shenanigans to go around!
Sara BaDour
Bridesmaid
Jesse's Cousin. Sara and Jesse have always had a special relationship. Although Sara is her cousin, Jesse has always considered her like a sister. Sara sure gives Jesse enough crap and makes fun of her like an older sibling does.
Ben Tauchen
Groomsman
Kyle's College Roommate Kyle and Ben met in college at Michigan Tech. They played football together, lived together, and shared just about every class with each other for a few years. Throughout their time at Michigan Tech, they shared many collisions in football practice, late nights in the MEEM computer labs, ham and eggs and shuffleboard at the B&B, and just a couple of beers.
Jenna Burns
Bridesmaid
Jesse's High School Friend. Jenna and Jesse met each other on the track team and threw shot put. Together, they are JB^2 (squared)- Jesse BaDour and Jenna Burns. Throughout college, they continued to visited each other. Jenna and the Burns family have accepted Jesse into their family as one of their own. They are practically sisters.
Brandon Russo
Groomsman
Jesse's Brother. Brandon is Jesse's younger brother. He was only 10 years old when Jesse and Kyle began dating. Although Brandon can be quiet, when you get to know him, he is always the jokester, making sassy remarks. Brandon is the one who has started the family tradition of watching Sumo together. He currently is a freshman in college studying film and animation.
Sophia Russo
Junior Bridesmaid
Jesse's Sister. This lovely lady is Jesse's beautiful sister! They are only 12 years apart. Yes, you read that right! Jesse and Kyle remember when she was just four years old when they first started to date. Now she's 13 standing by their side 9 years later as they say I do.
Devon BaDour
Groomsman
Jesse's Cousin. Devon is Jesse's younger cousin on her Dad's side. Growing up, they didn't see each other often, as Devon lives in Minnesota, but when they did, they always made wonderful memories. There is a 7 years age gap, but Jesse can remember every single visit from holding Devon as a baby, to watching 'Elf' in the Wisconsin Dells, camping, and exploring Eau Claire.
