Wedding Party
Jessica Neuman
Bride
The bride! First impression of the groom was that he makes very strong drinks. You'll most likely find her watching Selling Sunset eating Punch Pizza in her free time. Dessert connoisseur and baker of the relationship. 10/10 very glad to have a fiancé that can cook real meals. Wants to go to southern France for the honeymoon!
Michael Fabie
Groom
The groom! First impression of the bride was shock she wanted him to sit by her at breakfast in college. Doesn't remember actual first meeting of the bride (thank you to said strong drinks). Most likely to find him in the sauna or steam room at Lifetime or petting his best dog, Bandit. Wants to honeymoon in Iceland!
Anna Neuman
Maid of Honor
Sister of the bride, Anna and Jessica used to secretly communicate via the vents that connected their rooms. Anna is the best lazy Friday night companion, as she's always down for a Marvel movie and pizza. Shares a favorite with the groom, Thor Ragnarok. Most likely to find her with a nice glass of wine, looking adorable!
Noah Fabie
Best Man
Brother of the groom, Noah gives Michael a run for his money on any game Nintendo. Most likely to find these two at Thanksgiving picto-chatting on their DS across the room. Minnesota native, now lives in Brooklyn, NY living his best life.
Sara Cassidy
Bridesmaid
Sister of the groom, Sara is every woman's life goals: super successful, amazing mom, and an awesome person! Most likely to know more Disney and PJ Masks songs than dance floor songs due to having a 5 and 1 year old. Thanks to Sara, we also have the best venue!
Cam Jackson
Groomsman
Sophomore year roommates in college, Cam and Mike share a competitive nature, especially when it comes to Mario Party and Mario Kart. Cam may look sweet and innocent, but he will do what it takes to win. Most likely to blue shell you at the finish line or steal your star with a smile. Lucky enough, Mike and Jess live within walking distance to Cam & his wife, Mara, making Mario Kart double dates super easy!
Katie Juettner
Bridesmaid
Katie and Jess met in middle school basketball but didn't reconnect until 9th grade. But, have been best friends ever since! They sat by each other in every science class and both became nurses. Katie is a world-traveler, an RN in the Air Force in Turkey! But, she will be back for good before the wedding! Most likely to get a higher test score in anatomy than Jess.
Alex Fischer
Groomsman
Best friends since high school, Mike claims Alex's cat tried to claw his eyes out at a sleepover in high school. Only Tommy knows his intentions that night. If you hear a SpongeBob quote, it probably came from Alex, if not Mike. Alex is the most loyal friend and will always have your back. Most likely to be an MMA fighter, but has the biggest heart!
Christina Rowe
Bridesmaid
Christina lived across the hall from Jess freshman year of college, and they were fast friends. They bonded over bothering Isaak constantly since he lived above them. Christina encompasses all things pink, and it matches her bubbly personality perfectly! Most likely to be found at Caribou, and always up for an Olive Garden date!
Isaak Tjaden
Groomsman
Don't be fooled, even though Isaak is on the groom's side, before he met Mike through Gustavus hockey, he met Jess in the first few days of college during the first dorm meeting; a friendship that is basically responsible for Jess and Mike being together as he introduced the two at breakfast. Thanks Isaak! Isaak is the "dad" of the friend group, most likely to save all his PTO for the end of the year.
Kathi Opsahl
Bridesmaid
Best friends since 8th grade, Kathi played softball with Jess all throughout high school and was on the same team when the Elks won the state championship in 2013. Kathi is the most fun friend you will ever have and is sure to be on the dance floor with her new husband, Mitchel. Most likely to come in clutch with a pre-ceremony snack and be authentically herself, which is why we love her!
Tyller Robert
Groomsman
Ty played hockey at Gustavus, with most of the other groomsmen and the groom. At one point, Ty, Isaak, Cam, and Mike all lived together towards the end of college. Ty may be the oldest in the friend group, but you wouldn't know it by how fun he is! Most likely to be watching a scary movie that Mike can't watch, and most likely to make you laugh.
Ashley Beise
Bridesmaid
Ashely and Jess played softball together at Gustavus, and have been inseparable friends ever since. Their love for Luke Bryan and Diet Coke sparked a friendship for a lifetime! They traveled to Europe together in 2019, and will do more extensive research before trying to rent a manual vehicle next time. Most likely to drive anywhere for Luke Bryan concert, you know she'll be on the dance floor when "Shake it for me" is playing.
Nick Smallidge
Groomsman
Mike and "Smalls" were freshman year roommates in college. Gustavus was not prepared for the shenanigans these two would cause! Smalls may look like an adult, but is a big kid at heart! Talents include winning the giant stuffed animals at fairs every time! Most likely to make you smile and to document good times in his "hall of records."
Clara "CC" Cassidy
Flower Girl
CC is Michael's 5 year old niece, daughter to Sara. CC will steal your heart with her cuteness and warm hugs. She would at all times rather be watching Frozen with an ice cream cone. She's excited to have the wedding at the "fancy restaurant," as she calls the venue. She's mostly excited to go swimming; we haven't told her yet that the pool is closed after Labor Day! Most likely to be dancing with "Babu" (Aka, Michael's dad).
Suzy Cassidy
Flower Girl
Suzy is CC's younger sister, who is only 1 and tries to do everything her big sis can do! Suzy will surely be the cutest babe at the wedding! How can anyone resist those cheeks?! Most likely to pass out early.
