Kelsey & Thomas
Wedding Party
Kylie Peterson
Maid of Honor
My best friend since I was born. Kylie, my twin sister, is kind, caring, funny, driven, and incredibly smart. She is my biggest role model and secretly always has been (12 year old me would've NEVER admitted that). She consistently awes me with her work ethic and care for others, and Tom and I are excited to spend our big day with her.
Zach "Nighthawk" Whiting
Best Man
My favorite bro of all time, Nighthawk, has been my best friend forever. We've gone on too many adventures to count, ranging from motorcycling, bicycling, not killing each other for three weeks in barty the bus, and general shenanigans. Nighthawk has always been there with solid advice and endless energy that I'm sure he'll bring to the wedding!
Brittany Shay Carter Reyes
Bridesmaid
So much of who I am today is because of Britt. We were college roommates and best friends while we attended Bethel in Newton, KS. We've made a lot of good memories while in college, and many more since then. Tom and I are overjoyed to have her join us on our wedding day to make some more.
Tyler Peterson
Groomsman
I get another brother and couldn't be more excited for it to be Tyler! He's got a better sense of humor than his father (thank heavens) and has welcomed me into the family like a brother. I'm excited for the coming years for us to get to hang out more and form a brotherly alliance against the twins KP. We're expecting at least a couple hours of most excellent dancing!
Anika Schreiner
Bridesmaid
If you want to feel welcomed, loved or supported, Anika is who you should spend some time with. She is so caring and loving to those around her, she fills every room with warmth when she walks in (very important in Northern, WI). I felt like I had an instant sister in Anika, and I'm excited that that's coming true soon!
Luke Sherry
Groomsman
Lukey P Dukey. Also one of my best friends growing up and as an adult. We grew up playing soccer, basketball, hockey, and all other manner of sports...including getting domepieced by Nighthawk with snowballs. Luke is a super cool guy always up for an adventure who also has a VERY nerdy side. KP and Luke often nerd out about gene editing while on the disc golf course and he's starting law school this fall! He also dances better than his father and will be a force to be reckoned with on the dance floor.
Amanda Whiting
Bridesmaid
From the moment I met Tom's family, Amanda made me feel like I was a part of it. She has made me laugh so hard I've cried. Twice. And I can tell so much of why I love Tom is because of Amanda, and I'm truly honored and excited to have her as a bridesmaid.
Robert Quinlan
Groomsman
One of my best friends growing up and as an adult, "Bert" and I have known each other since the Quinlans first moved to Ashland all those years ago in elementary school. Rob is always down to be one of the best athletes at whatever he does and great friend. Kels and I are lucky to have Rob as a close friend!
Beatriz 'Bea' Baselga Cervera
Bridesmaid
If you'd like to dance or get caught up in contagious laughter, please look for Bea on the dance floor, or near Tom and I (probably squeezing us in a big bear hug). Bea has been my friend and roommate and was one of my first friends to meet Tom. Bea is 'actually' pure joy on legs.
Nicklaus Grandstrand
Groomsman
Klaus is one of the best people I know and I'm proud to call him a cousin and groomsman! Between discing, playing pool, watching movies, saving the world in Pandemic, and generally hanging out over the last 25 years we know each other pretty dang well. It's been a joy to see how quickly Kels was welcomed by my family and Klaus was at the forefront...a Kels fan from day 1. Get ready to boogie, Klaus, there's bound to be a lot of time to dance and celebrate in October!
Laura Toro-Gonzalez
Bridesmaid
Laura is one of the most caring people I've ever met. We've spent a good part of our graduate school careers chatting and working alongside each other on and off campus and she has been the very definition of 'friend' since day one. Tom and I feel lucky to have her join us on our wedding day.
Michael Earley
Groomsman
Michael and I grew up together in Ashland and apparently can tolerate each other enough to be roommates for the past two years! Discing, biking, motorcycling, you name it, we do it. Michael has been there since the start of Kels and my relationship and I couldn't imagine not having him as a groomsman!
