Kara & Christopher
Wedding Party
Mackenzie Lentz
Maid of Honor
Cousin turned best friend! Fun fact is that Kenzie didn't like me when we were younger because I was too "girly". The turning point was when we had to clean the playhouse together at "Camp Grandma's". I'm so thankful she eventually came around because I could not imagine this life without her.
Eric Naegele
Best Man
Eric is Chris's younger brother. They've grownup with a bond over family, baseball, and snowboarding. Eric has a big heart and has always been extremely supportive of our relationship.
Allie Shannon
Bridesmaid
We met in kindergarten but really started bonding when we both decided to play volleyball. 13 years of volleyball on every single team together besides one, now that's friendship. We share just about everything with each other to the point that I think Allie knows more about me than even I do.
Justin Johnson
Groomsman
Justin is Kara's older brother. Kara may have been the annoying younger sister for most of their relationship, but after college they have transitioned into having a great relationship and always have a blast when together.
Lindsay Brown
Bridesmaid
Lindsay and I were introduced in 6th grade and we've been inseparable ever since. Many years of volleyball and friendship later, we have an incredible bond. Lindsay gives the best advice and always puts others before herself. I'm so thankful for a friend with such a selfless heart.
Keith Zelinske
Groomsman
Keith and Chris grew up together as they lived right down the street from each other. They loved playing sports together and still enjoy snowboarding trips and recreational football together.
Chantal Anderson
Bridesmaid
I moved across the street from Chantal when I was just two years old! We grew up together and she introduced me to some of my best friends from middle school and high school. 22 years later and we're still going strong on our friendship. Chantal is always so joyous and it makes me love being around her.
Maurizio Feoli
Groomsman
Mau and Chris met in class when they were both Civil Engineering students. Maurizio takes credit for introducing us when he invited Chris to a hangout between the UIC volleyball and tennis teams. Chris & Mau lived together a few years after college (with Nick).
Katelynn Martinez
Bridesmaid
Our brothers played baseball on the same team, which instantly bonded us over sitting through the long tournaments. Katelynn may have been more interested in actually watching than I was, but I'm grateful it brought us together because I now have a lifelong friend.
Nick Conforti
Groomsman
Nick was randomly placed as Chris's roommate in college. Nick and Chris have been roommates for the past 6 years. They love watching football, playing video games, and talking about the next crazy investment strategy.
Jade Mortimer
Bridesmaid
Jade and I met when we were placed on the same club volleyball team when we were 13. We played on every club team together from there on out. Jade is unapologetic-ally herself and has taught me to find the fun in every moment. There is never a dull moment around Jade and her good vibes are so infectious.
Breanna Howe
Bridesmaid
Breanna and I were placed on the same club volleyball team at the age of 14 and we played together every year after. She has the best sense of humor and when we're together I am laughing nonstop. Breanna loves hard and is always so real. She's the type of friend who encourages you to be yourself and love every second of it.
Logan Walling
Bridesmaid
Logan and I met when we were on the same club volleyball team when we were 14. If you ever need a pick-me-up then Logan is your girl. She has the most positive outlook on life and is so genuine with everything she does. Logan has the biggest heart and is always willing to give love to everyone around her.
