M & J
Wedding Party
Rosie Lewinski
Maid of Honor
Rosie & MaryAnn have been best friends for 10 years, lived together twice, worked together once, purchased a pet fish at one point, and been each other's rocks through a lot of ups and downs over the years. They met through Rosie's cousin & MA couldn't be more grateful to her for giving her a life long friend.
Krystyn Kucharski
Matron of Honor
Krystyn is MaryAnn's sister-in-law and built in best friend. She started dating MaryAnn's brother John over 10 years ago and they've been incredibly close ever since. Krystyn is a neuropsychologist and will always psychoanalyze you, but she's the best at what she does and MA is forever grateful to her brother for giving her the sister she never had!
Taylor Stemer
Bridesmaid
Taylor & MaryAnn met working together at a wedding venue in Northern Michigan in 2016. They were inseparable that summer & even when Taylor moved to DC and MA moved to South Carolina, and then respectively to Seattle and back to Michigan, they remained best friends with wine dates via video chats & visiting one another when they can.
Kali Freeman
Bridesmaid
Kali & MaryAnn met during COVID via the Bumble BFF app. They had their first "date" at a brewery in GR and the rest is history! She & MA speak basically only in screams and noises at each other, are the other's concert buddies, went to Aruba together, & love to watch spooky movies. Kali is forever MA's fellow gremlin & she won't hesitate to threaten to punch people in the nose on your behalf (that's how she shows her love).
Joel Lytle
Best Man
Joel & Josh met at the Edge Skate Shop while Joel was working there. He put together Josh's first ever custom skateboard. They weren't best friends right away, but the friendship grew through skating trips across country, rock climbing, videogames, & binging cheesy horror flicks. Along with all the fun times, Joel has always been a voice of reason to Josh and held him accountable when the situation called for it. Joel is someone Josh really looks up to, and couldn't imagine his life without.
Sully (Brandon Sullivan)
Groomsman
Sully & Josh met skateboarding at the Portage Park. Josh's first memory bonding with Sully was when Sully was grounded for a whole summer and they stayed inside playing guitar hero for the entirety of that summer. Eventually Sully would attend skating trips with Joel & Josh. Josh's favorite memory of he and Sully is when he fell off a Target before Joel's wedding & Sully held Josh's hoodie to his bleeding head wound. Sully stayed up all night with Josh and still got him to Joel's wedding!
Jason Rhew
Groomsman
Jason & Josh met when Jason moved to Portage, MI in 7th grade. They were inseparable from the get-go and took up skateboarding together. Jason burned Josh his first ever explicit CD & both sets of parents thought the other were bad influences on each other. They filmed videos together inspired by Jackass & Jason was apart of Josh's formative high school years & adult lives. Jason is someone Josh holds close to & has since they were kiddos.
Ricky Davidson
Groomsman
Ricky & Josh met through Josh's ex girlfriend. His ex and Ricky's now wife were best friends. Josh didn't like Ricky at first, but was forced to hang out with him due to his ex. Josh ended up hiring Ricky at Gamestop when he was the Assistant General Manager. Because they worked together, they ended up hanging out at Louie's Trophy House in Kalamazoo, MI all the time & becoming close friends. They even witnessed someone stealing a stuffed wolf from there!
