Brady & Emily
Wedding Party
Chrystelle Schowalter
Maid of Honor
Chrystelle is Emily's big sister (by only 14 months). These two would get mistaken for twins when they were young, but nowadays they couldn't look different! Emily refers to her sister as her fashion inspiration. Growing up, Emily always stole clothes from her closet and still borrows them whenever she gets the opportunity. These two enjoy getting their pups together, crafting, cooking and baking, working on home improvement projects and spending time out in the sun - whether that be out hiking, attending events or concerts, or floating out on the lake.
Jeff Johns
Best Man
Jeff and Brady have been best friends since freshman year of high school, where they met in science class. Their friendship grew over their love for fantasy football, The Office and weight lifting. Nowadays, Brady and Jeff enjoy hanging out on the golf course, watching football, listening to podcasts, playing fantasy football and discussing trades, or grabbing food and drinks out on double dates. Professionally, as a real estate agent, Jeff helped Brady and Emily buy and move into their first home together.
Haley Reynolds
Co-Maid of Honor
Haley is Emily's childhood friend. These two have known each other since kindergarten - they became close with one another after spending several hours together watching their older sisters at gymnastics. These two grew up together playing tennis and attended the same schools: elementary all the way through college at UW-Milwaukee. They now share a love for good coffee, wine, spending time outdoors, home decorating and DIY projects, and their pets!
Jarrett Fintel
Groomsman
Brady and Jarrett met in high school on the freshman basketball team. They developed their friendship throughout high school and both attended Carroll University. They both majored in Criminal Justice and shared several classes together. Since graduating, both Brady and Jarrett have joined the police force, and although they're at different departments and on different shifts, they still find time to play fantasy football and catch up over food and drinks.
Jackie Dorsey
Bridesmaid
Jackie is Emily's soon-to-be sister-in-law. Emily has known Jackie for as long as she has known Brady and met her for the first time at a New Year's party hosted by the Durni's. Emily and Jackie have spent a lot of time together with the guys going on double dates and vacationing as a group, but when it's just the two of them, they love to shop, use face masks, get their nails done, or grab a bite to eat! Emily appreciates Jackie's hair and makeup skills and is honored to have her as her makeup artist for the big day.
Ky-Le Dorsey
Groomsman
Ky-Le is Brady's older brother. Their childhood consisted of camping, playing outside, and fighting like normal brothers do: there's lots of good stories when it comes to this part. Now that they're both grown up, they enjoy golfing, drinking, vacationing, and playing video games together. Brady and Emily were honored to stand up in Ky-Le and Jackie's wedding in August of 2018 and are excited for them to be doing the same this year in their wedding!
Lauren Rasmussen
Bridesmaid
Throughout college, Lauren was close friends with Brady and his roommate, Jeremy, who she is now dating! Emily befriended Lauren this way and she was able to connect with her on many levels. Emily and Lauren enjoy talking in-depth about their lives and sharing their goals and dreams. These two also share a passion for traveling and taking in the true beauty of the world around them. Lauren and Jeremy own a bus, Wanda, which they drove out to meet Brady, Emily, Ky-Le and Jackie out West, and that is a memory that Emily will hold close to her heart forever.
Jeremy Pasterz
Groomsman
Jeremy was Brady's roommate all through college at Carroll University. They played lots of ping pong and video games together over those four years. Nowadays, these two love to play video games, talk about sports, smoke a good cigar, drink some beers, and talk about life with one another. Brady and Emily share a love for traveling with Jeremy and Lauren and have already experienced the Badlands and Wall Drug together - but they have plans to continue to travel more in the future!
Hayley Hudson
Bridesmaid
Emily met Hayley through Brady's coworker, Antonio. The Hudson's are some of the most down-to-earth individuals that Emily and Brady have met and they love spending time with them and their daughter, Olivia. Most of the time, these four hang out as a group sitting around the fire, sipping on fancy mixed drinks that Hayley has perfected, or going on double dates. But when just Emily and Hayley get together, they love to cook, bake or spend time with Olivia: watching movies, snacking, or doing arts and crafts.
Antonio Hudson
Groomsman
Brady and Antonio met while attending the police academy in 2019. These two developed an immediate friendship as they bonded through their shared interest of sports and drinking. There is a friendly rivalry between these two since Antonio is a Detroit Lion's fan, but they've managed to make it to Lambeau Field together to watch the Packers defeat the Lions and have plans to go to more in future football seasons. Brady and Emily love spending time with Antonio, Hayley, and their adorable daughter, Olivia.
