Wedding Party
Katlyn Kosek
Matron of Honor
Many of you probably already know, but for those who don't, Katlyn is Kelsie's older sister. This isn't a Matron of Honor situation where Kelsie felt obligated to have her sister as her MOH. Katlyn is truly her best friend, her #1 gal pal, always there in a time of need. Choosing Katlyn to be her Matron of Honor was truly a no brainer and Kelsie could not be more grateful to have her sister by her side on her big day.
Ryan Johnson
Best Man
Mike and Ryan have been friends since kindergarten. They've shared lots of great memories growing up together in sports, extracurriculars, and briefly living together in the post-college years.
Carly Lundberg
Bridesmaid
Carly and Kelsie met in the Fall of 2013 as freshman roommates at the College of Saint Scholastica in Duluth. By some miracle, they were placed together randomly and quickly became the best of friends. They have been on road trips together, supported each other through big life changes and Carly even convinced Kelsie to go skydiving...not sure how she managed to do that.
Cody Miller
Groomsman
Mike and Cody met their freshman year of college in Fall of 2013. Throughout the college years they've remained great friends and now work together at the same company.
Ruth Fredrickson
Bridesmaid
Ruth and Kelsie met as interns for the Minnesota Twins in 2018. Kelsie looks back on this time in her life VERY fondly. We worked hard but we definitely had fun while we were doing it. Kelsie joined the intern group a little bit later than everyone else and Ruth was extremely welcoming and made Kelsie feel like she didn't miss a beat. Ruth was one of those people who Kelsie felt like she had known her whole life even though she had just met her. Ruth is one of the good ones! And she will be found on the dance floor all night!
Lane Wargin
Groomsman
Mike and Lane have known each other since kindergarten and they've remained good friends the past 25+ years. They grew up together in school, sports, and many monumental life moments.
Hailey Brown
Bridesmaid
Hailey and Kelsie met at St. Kate's in the Ultrasound Program. While their friendship was mostly comprised of study groups in college, after graduation they have stayed in touch and became great friends. Kelsie has been known to have some of her best laughs when hanging out with Hailey and her boyfriend, Andrew. Kelsie and Michael genuinely enjoy their time with Hailey and Andrew and can always count on making the best memories when the four of them are together.
Kevin Stocke
Groomsman
Mike and Kevin have known each other since their early days at Hermantown. Over the years they've spent time together in sports, weekends at the lake, and lived in the same apartment building in St. Paul.
Brianna Kherson
Bridesmaid
Bri and Kelsie met in 2021 while Kelsie was in Ultrasound school and working at Caribou Coffee. After only 1 or 2 shifts of pulling countless espresso shots together, it was clear that a lasting friendship was in the making! Bri introduced us to the family who brought our Golden Retriever, Rosie, into our lives—her dog Maggie and Rosie are even half sisters. Now Kelsie, Michael, Bri and her husband Andrew love hanging out all together with their dogs and they make a point to do so at least a few times a year.
Andrew Kherson
Groomsman
Mike met Andrew after his wife (Bri to the left) started working with Kelsie. The whole crew became fast friends. As Kelsie mentioned, their dog is half sisters with our dog, Rosie. Andrew now also works at the same company as Mike and Cody, and Mike and Andrew meet once a week to chat and catch up.
