Laura & Travis
Wedding Party
Amalia Ramirez
Matron of Honor
Bride's oldest pal. Animal lover. Warmed the benches of Our Savior's girls basketball with the bride (proudly). Still wondering if she ever beat Barbie Ocean Adventure for GameBoy.
Grant Ormsby
Best Man
Favorite brother of the groom. Is a certified paramedic who will inevitably have to assist one of the groomsman at the reception. Loves Malört and WILL make you take a shot with him.
Lindsey Lusk
Matron of Honor
Law school wife (it is literally public record). Can run 26.2 miles faster than you. You want her to represent you in court. The quintessential Gryffindor. Allegedly from Texas yet has no accent?? 🧐
Sean Kalisz
Groomsman
Longtime friend and DM of the groom from Drake. Has put up with Travis as a roommate longer than anyone else other than the bride. Currently getting into another hobby as we speak. Will be seen on the dancefloor hitting the whip during the reception.
Megan McKisson
Maid of Honor
All the best friendships start at the Champaign Sephora. World traveler. Astrology queen who has everyone's birth chart memorized. Leaves the best 8+ minute voicenotes. Would follow you to hell (and maybe back).
Zack Mueller
Groomsman
Oldest friend of the groom. The man in black who will still be wearing jeans on a 90 degree summer afternoon. Some say he and Travis are still looking for Five Guys to this day...
Moira Ostrander
Maid of Honor
Sam the Eagle Muppet's #1 fan. Most likely to be enjoying a Michael Phelps *on a Wednesday.* Once we took a trip to Mexico and I found out [AFTER LANDING] that we had no clue whether we were on the Atlantic or Pacific side. Bride's twin--obviously have rhyming names.
Jack Jablonsky
Groomsman
Life long friend of the groom. Fellow Crystal Lake Native. Has to constantly choose between his allegiance to Illinois and Wisconsin. Calls the groom by his true name, Tarvis.
Ashton Schipp
Bridesmaid
Sorority pledge wife. Co-winner with the bride of "Most Likely to Be at Kams During Finals Week." Always down for a casual four-hour phone call. Meme and DnD queen
Chase Stoneking
Groomsman
Carpenter, Ross 5B, and Sigma Chi Trifecta. A lover of St Louis sports, Chase will impress you with his encyclopedic knowledge of both sports and Yacht Rock. Chase will (probably) out-chug everyone at the wedding and will welcome any challengers.
Sarah Mitchell
Bridesmaid
Queen of the themed party. Encyclopedic knowledge of the next up-and-coming travel spots. Will always have you wondering if she is serious or trolling. May or may not have narcolepsy.
Angel Gentchev
Groomsman
Angel hails from Bulgaria and met the groom at Drake. You will likely find him and the Groom having endless conversations about hypothetical car or real stereo equipment purchases. He will also be participating and possibly winning the chugging contests being held.
Molly Hammerl
Bridesmaid
Groom's favorite sister. He is so happy his parents didn't obey his request to send Molly back to the hospital after she was born. Least likely to make her little brother cry at Christmas.
Jake Wasserman
Groomsman
Jake was the first of the groomsmen that Travis met when they both arrived in the great state of Iowa. Most likely to impersonate a police officer outside of various Des Moines bars and possibly at the reception. Still trying to find the right Polk County to call.
Angela Stellrecht
Bridesmaid
An absolute ride-or-die. Former Miss I'm Not Drunk I'm from Wisconsin. Review her kindle content at your own risk. On her tombstone they will inscribe "SHE WAS A GOOD TIME."
Christian Hammerl
Groomsman
Brother in Law of the groom. All-American with a heart of gold. He is a lover of whiskey and hunting and will always have your back. He is also excited to take delivery of his favourite vehicle, the Cybertruck.
Megan Nelson
Bridesmaid
Bride's cousin (in law?). Connoisseur of a good Game of Thrones-themed feast. Went to college with Travis but thankfully only met him afterward. Girls' girl, Emma and Lincoln's mom, 90s country fan. Always down for extensive innuendo during family Christmas pickle ornament hunts.
Mark Nelson
Groomsman
Cousin of the Bride. Most likely to DJ his own wedding. May or may not have snuck Laura into Firehaus and Cly’s at U of I. The best corgi and girldad. Probably will send your call to voicemail when playing video games.
Nathan Waldeck
Bridesman
Former farm boy, current aquarist and mouse neurosurgeon. Top 0.0005% of Whitney Houston listeners on Spotify. Very thankful the bachelorette is not in the summer. Best free therapist and Malcolm's favorite uncle.
Daniel Walbright
Groomsman
Bride's law school study buddy. Barkeep of the friend group, founding member of the Finer Things Club. We're forever only one arduous deal/case away from abandoning the law and starting our own bar-restaurant...
Carl Wesa
Officiant
Childhood friend of the Groom. Travis and Carl have been friends since 6th grade art class and middle school Jazz Band. A lover of mezcal, coffee and all things music, We will have to restrain him from getting on the drum kit at the reception.
Emma Nelson
Flower Girl
The bride's niece
Weston Hammerl
Ring Bearer
The groom's nephew
Remy Lusk
Ring Bearer
The bride's honorary nephew
