Andrew & Sarah
Wedding Party
Neil Caskey
Best Man
Best friends since 13 meeting at Fleet swim team in TX and we were basically brothers since day 1. Summers filled with rolling up to swim practices in the epic Astro van- sometimes with the heat on in the middle of summer to see who could stand it longer. From sitting on the couch playing full length NCAA football video games (yes this can be done) to every food challenge possible. Everything was a friendly (for the most part) competition and you could find us getting into something fun/dumb. We both ended up in Wisconsin for different reasons post college and he will always be my brother.
Christina Tremaine
Matron of Honor
Christina is the sister of the bride! My little sister's love and support are unmatched. Christina is my best friend and I'm incredibly grateful that we are so close. She's the person I trust most in this world and I love her like crazy! There's no one else I would have by my side on on my wedding day.
Stephen Koch
Groomsman
The original "OG" definition of a roommate. Met on our recruiting trip to The Ohio State Univ. and were instantly friends. We both told each other we were committing to be Buckeyes probably before we even told our families- even though everyone knew. Moving into Patterson Hall -396! Always willing to tell each other how we truly feel even if we don't agree- this is what makes a true friend. Roommates/teammates for all 4years of college. Neilhouse for life and would honestly not be here if it wasn't for STEVO. The "V" in the nickname just to keep him on his toes. Right Kookie? Seen me at my best and gotten me through my not as good times. ALWAYS there for me and the realest guy I have.
Melanie Reitz
Bridesmaid
Mel and I have been best friends since second grade. As two blondes who both got their growth spurt early, we were often mixed up by teachers and parents over the years. From poms, a few moves around the country, and now weddings and babies, Mel and I remain the best of friends!
Zach Holmes
Groomsman
Both of us were born and raised in God's Country- TX and ended up both being swim team captains our senior year at The Ohio State Univ. Started as a guy whose team I could not stand playing in HS water polo to being my right hand man. Z/Bug was always down for anything and everyone. Sitting on the couch for days straight (literally) watching the trashiest movies or having an epic showdown on the snappa table. Became close through our fake ID freshman years at Sugar & Viking when we had no idea what we were doing. Texas Buckeyes forever who knows how to make me laugh damn hard. Still tied for most snappa AND ping pong tourney house wins...
Heidi Hoefer
Bridesmaid
Heidi Lynn came into my life when she moved to Oconomowoc in 5th grade. My Dad and Heidi's Grandpa played tennis together. When our families introduced us we totally hit it off. Heidi and I make it a point to visit each other as often as possible and believe me when I say the fun never ends!
Steven Springer
Groomsman
Spring or Spring-daddy- added the daddy there because this man right here was always there for me and us living in the Neilhouse in college. Started as teammates ended as roommates - he always had my back and took care of all the bills and BS at the house AKA the dad. The guy I could always count on to be there, even if it was talking him into a few games of epic ping pong when he was trying to study. Epic trips to North Carolina to wrestling through a mirror just because we wanted to. Thanks for getting me into some fun and always making sure we got out of trouble.
Meg McDonald
Bridesmaid
Meg and I were paired as roommates freshman year in the dorms at UW Madison and we ended up living together all 4 years of college. We're total opposites but somehow it just works! Meg got to know my Nana as she traveled to Mexico with us during school breaks. All of my memories learning how to be an adult include Meg without a doubt!
Patrick Brady
Groomsman
First met for a beer to talk about him coaching me for triathlon. Started as a coach/athlete relationship that quickly turned into training partners (me trying to chase his little ass) which immediately makes you brothers. Helping me become a professional triathlete and basically teaching me everything. We were going through life changes at about the same time and the best time to talk through your life is when you are burying yourself in a training session. Know how to get under each others skin to make everyone better and know what kind of beer to order each other after some epic workouts. Always there for me and an honest one at that doesn't tell me what I want to hear, but what I need to hear and I do the same.
Chelsea Anderson
Bridesmaid
Chelsea and my favorite story to tell is the one of how we bonded night sailing and drinking rum! We were both involved in the sailing club, and became really close one summer and the shenanigans have continued ever since!
Ben Otten
Groomsman
Sarah's brother who would be my friend even if we were not forced into becoming family. Great guy who knows how to have an even better time. Honored to actually have a brother, now and already be good friends. A captain of the La Belle seas who lets me DJ at times to soak up the sun. Check out his amazing paintings- https://www.studioevergreenart.com/
Jaime Keily
Bridesmaid
I'm lucky enough to have found a man who has the greatest family ever. From the first time Jaime and I had the opportunity to meet, I knew we'd be really great friends. Jaime is the kindest coolest sister I could ever hope for. Love you sista! #teamkeily
