Maid of Honor
It all started with an epic high-five in 8th grade Geometry class and has become an everlasting friendship that extends across the country! Annie is the Ying to Abby's Yang, the sister she never had, and is a kickass tattoo artist (check her out at Greenseed in Sheb! *wink* *wink*).
Best Man
Alex came into Connor's life through Shannon as he is her husband. They hit it off pretty quickly and Connor considers him to be an older brother of his. Connor and Alex have worked together at multiple places. He and Shannon helped Connor get his first job at Polito's in De Pere, Wisconsin. He was also the manager at Save-a-Lot when Connor worked there.
Bridesmaid
Shannon is Connor's older sister and partner in crime! They had many excursions together and have remained close to this day. She has always been a huge role model in Connor's life. Shannon is extremely creative and amazing at baking! She and Abby hit it off very quickly.
Groomsman
Braedon is Connor's middle brother. The two of them share a lot of interests including football and basketball. They both enjoy the Bucks and hope to go to as many games as they can. Braedon is a freshman at Carroll University on the men's football team. He is excited to go to Europe with the team in the end of May!
Bridesmaid
Shayla is engaged to Nathan Batty on Connor's side of the wedding. We became friends through makeup and our love for true crime podcasts! She went to school at MSOE for Engineering and is currently working at the Kohler Company in their home generator's division.
Groomsman
Nathan was Connor and George's other roommate their sophomore year of college. They bonded through video games, parties, and quidditch (it was Nate who got their whole friend group into quidditch). Nate works as a teacher and is hoping to continue his education to get a PhD in Computer Science to create video games to help students learn.
Bridesmaid
Allie is dating Mark Bouwmeester on Connor's side of the bridal party. Allie moved to Nashville, TN with Mark last year and showed us around the city last October. Even though we live far apart we always catch up like no time has passed! Allie works as a children's physical therapist for Vanderbilt University and is looking forward to identifying her area of focus.
Groomsman
While Mark wasn't an *official* roommate, he basically lived in Connor's room with his other roommates their sophomore year and earned the title of their fourth roommate! He was also coerced into quidditch by Nate and became close with Connor, Nate, and George! Mark works at Vanderbilt University as an athletic trainer for the school's football team.
Usher
Ryan is Connor's youngest brother and is in 8th grade this year! He plays basketball and football and hopes to play on the high school teams as well! We are excited Ryan gets to join us for our special day.
Groomsman
George was Connor and Nate's roommate their sophomore year and was also coerced by Nate to join the MU Quid team. George and Connor had many classes together as he was also going to school for Biomechanics and is now at Notre Dame achieving his PhD!
Officiant
Derek is Abby's older brother who she has always looked up to (literally). In all seriousness though, Derek has always been there for Abby and it means everything to her that he will be officiating the wedding. She cannot wait to share this special moment with him as she begins a new chapter to her life.
Flower Girl
Lorelei is Shannon and Alex's daughter and has the most contagious smile! She was born one month after Connor and Abby started dating and they have enjoyed seeing her grow into the beautiful little girl she has become.
