Julia & Lukas
Wedding Party
Kelly Molitor
Maid of Honor
Kelly and Julia met as teammates and roommates in their freshman year of college. They dominated the wings of the St. Kate's soccer field and continue to dominate the game of life. Kelly is a genuine ray of positivity. Supportive and loyal, Kelly will be the first to welcome you to the party with her cheeky sense of humor. This all makes up for her super strange taste in movies.
Graham Wallerich
Best Man
With a heart as big as his biceps, Graham has been the ultimate big brother since 1989. Although he always wanted a little sister instead of Lukas, he made the best out of what he was given. Graham is truly the closest friend and confidant to Lukas - simultaneously getting into trouble and somehow keeping each other in line. After years of patience through younger brother nuisances, he will happily welcome Julia as a sister to the Wallerich family.
Calli Wallerich
Bridesmaid
Calli and Julia are sisters bonded by the Wallerich family. Calli is the most genuine person you will ever meet. She is fiercely supportive of her family and friends. She snagged the other Wallerich beauty, Graham, with the most beautiful wedding ceremony in Jamaica.
Joe Armstrong
Groomsman
Upon meeting during their first year of veterinary school, a shared love for craft beer and sitting in the back row led Joe and Lukas to become lifelong friends. Instigator of the only Tough Mudder Lukas has ever done, Joe went out on a limb (literally) to pioneer the world renowned 0.5K race. As a founding member of Cryptorkids Brewing and The Hemoglobin Trotters, Joe has been a loyal and fun companion ever since. That is what Julia and Lukas appreciates about hims.
Gabrielle Scundi
Bridesmaid
Gabby and Julia met as soccer teammates in college. They spent four years sharing soccer socks and unforgettable memories. They even studied abroad together in Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands! Gabby is cool, calm, and confident. Her kindness and support for her friends is unwavering. Also, it's pronounced "Scooondee" not "Scuhndee".
Matt Brady
Groomsman
Feared defensemen of the roughest broomball league in the state of Minnesota, Matt (aka Brady) has been sweeping the ice with Lukas since they first met in veterinary school. Many years, beers, and laughs later, and they are still finding trouble wherever they go. To be fair, Brady is always handy to have around and is the secret weapon to a winning night at trivia. Fun fact: Brady taught Lukas to tie his first bow tie.
Trisha Ketchmark
Bridesmaid
Julia met Trisha through Lukas, as the solid best friend duo that dates back to grade school. Trisha is an incredible mother of three and a supportive friend. Basically superwoman, she is organized and creative, loyal and patient. While otherwise reliable and fun, don’t expect her to be on time for this wedding.. :)
Korey Ketchmark
Groomsman
Korey met Lukas in high school as he began to woo the lovely Trisha (Lukas' best friend). Over the years, they have bonded over blues music, Rockfest, and mushroom hunting. Although Korey is one of Saint Paul's finest firefighters, he is happily married (sorry, ladies) to Trisha and a loving father to 3 of the sweetest kids around. While Lukas no longer lives in their basement, he will forever remember the lessons he learned from Korey about external illumination and the Ketchmark family pasta fagioli recipe.
Dearbhaile Ní Dhubhghaill
Bridesmaid
Dearbhaile and Julia met protecting loggerhead sea turtles in Cabo Verde. They shared many unique moments and a ton of Coca Colas during their time together there. Dearbhaile is an all-around adventurer. She is a zoologist and world traveller with an abundance of artistic talent. Originally hailing from Ireland, this lass is confident and kind. Try pronouncing her name, we dare ya!
Adam Scanlan
Groomsman
Although Adam hails from STA as a Cadet, it never stopped him from befriending CDH Raiders like Lukas. Sometimes neighbors, sometimes roommates, Adam and Lukas have enjoyed many spring breaks and cabin weekends. Thankz to Adam, Julia and Lukaz have dizcovered all the fun to be had at Zorbaz on Gull Lake.
Jeff Kundinger
Flower Child
Another high school & college friend to Lukas, Jeff has remained a constant source of fun over the years. His innovative approach to the removal of dorm room closet door hinges boosted the productivity of college RA's everywhere. Jeff has mastered nearly every competitive game and sport, so don’t let him hustle you at cornhole.
Chris Quicksell
Flower Child
Chris and Lukas struck up an early friendship upon starting high school. Although Chris went on to the wrong Winona college, they have shared many memories together ever since. As HR, he will expect you to be on your best behavior - just don't expect the same from him.
