Wedding Party
Chelsey Boettcher
Matron of Honor
Chelsey & Källän met on the first day of captain’s practice in high school, where they went 1v.1, resulting in Chelsey getting a bruise the size of Källän’s knee. The rest was history.
Taylor Patz
Bridesmaid
Taylor and Källän met around the ages of 2-3, when Taylor’s dad Doug decided to come over and meet the neighbors. She has been a lifelong friend despite any time or distance. They now both have fur babies that enjoy hanging out too!
Mady McGough
Bridesmaid
Mady and Källän met each other through their significant others. Mady has helped Källän over the years get better at reading more than just a menu and killing a few less house plants.
Janice Philippi
Bridesmaid
Janice and Källän met while working on H5000 together, but became close while working the graveyard shift in the ICU and bonding over their trauma. They continue to stay close and enjoy any situation that involved a cold beverage and an outdoor patio.
Andrea Zierden
Bridesmaid
Andrea and Källän met on H5000 where Andrea trained Källän into her first job at Abbott Northwestern. Källän then proceeded to follow her to every other area in the hospital. They continue to bond over a good margarita and laughing through their trauma stories.
Kelly Bernards
Bridesmaid
Kelly and Källän also started on H5000 together. Despite both changing roles and locations, they have maintained being good friends over the years by way of wild patient stories and any 5k that ends with a good glass of wine.
Bella Pierson
Honor Attendant
Bella and Källän also met through their significant others. They’ve grown close and love to bond over a good espresso martini and their not so great golf swings at Top Golf.
Claire Hartnett
Honor Attendant
Claire and Källän met through Källän’s brother Ben (lucky guy right?!). They like to bond over their wild nursing stories and a good laugh over whatever fiasco ben has gotten himself into this time.
Isaac Miller
Best Man
Brother of the groom and no doubt Blake's favorite brother. Blake and Ike have each had a moment or two of losing their temper when kids/adults, but Isaac tops them all with throwing a knee hockey stick into a window. Dad was not thrilled to say the least.
David McGough
Groomsman
David and Blake are childhood friends that love to bond over their pain from rolled soccer ankles over the years, as they had the worst. And still find the joy in laughing at each other when it continues to happen in their late 20's. Maybe its time to retire from adult mens league?
Patrick McGough
Groomsman
Patrick and Blake are childhood friends as well. The two of them love to bond over the time Blake rolled the Can-Am with Patrick as the co-pilot at the duck farm. And after they both were okay, telling the dads about it. Let's just say that Blake did not drive it much after that.
Ryner Gorowsky
Groomsman
Ryner and Blake met in first grade, and since then, have been trying to see if anyone else understands any of his one liners. As his favorite say goes, a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while.
Brandon Woznak
Groomsman
Brandon and Blake met when they were 4 years old in daycare. They continue to bond over there many hunting trips over the years and how Blake still cannot hit a deer standing still, but hit a duck flying. To his credit, Brandon only brings it up every time they hang out.
Ben Hartnett
Groomsman
Brother to the bride, Ben and Blake met at the prestigious University of Wisconsin-Stout. The two of them love to talk about how they knew each other long before Blake even knew he had a sister.
Matt Haile
Usher
Matt and Blake have known each other a long time through their love of soccer. And neither of them refuse to give in too admitting the other is better at FIFA. May their games continue into the future, with the night finishing with some Bacardi and Tequila to finally admit they like each other again once the days games are done.
Michael Pierson
Usher
Michael and Blake also met in 1st grade. The two never seem to have a dull moment together, most of the time bonding over sports, and how Blake seems to have never got over losing to Michael every year in elementary during the mile run.
Jack Beavens
Usher
Jack and Blake have known each other for almost 20 years. They have endured many hardships over the years in watching the Minnesota Wild consistently fall short of Blake and Jack's high expectations. Vodka and Bacardi helps them during their constant discussions on what the Wild need to get better at for the following year.
