Madeleine & Lawrence
Wedding Party
Chelsie Brecht
Matron of Honor
Chelsie is one of my closest friends from college. We've come a long way from sharing a room in our sorority house and eating too much late night Taco Bell to where we are now, standing up in each other's weddings. I couldn't imagine a more helpful, capable, calming and passionate MOH and I'm so lucky to have her by my side!
Emily McMichael
Bridesmaid
Even though she's technically my cousin, Emily has been more like a sister my whole life. We couldn't be more different but that what makes us the strongest pair. She's my favorite person to laugh with, cry with and confide in and I couldn't imagine not having her by my side.
Sidney Anderson
Bridesmaid
Sidney and I met through Delta Zeta sorority at Grand Valley. We quickly became friends and that friendship has only grown stronger in the years since. Sidney is one of the most caring, loyal and funny friends anyone could ask for and I'm beyond grateful for her constant encouragement and support.
Samantha Stewart
Bridesmaid
Sam and I were not particularly close throughout our time at DC together (Sam was "cool," I was.....not). When we ended up at the same college, in the same marketing association and both interning for the Griffins hockey team, Sam and I realized we are actually two peas in a pod. From working long days/nights goofing off together in college, to our adventures living together during quarantine, Sam has always been the most loyal, trustworthy friend and we always have the best time when we're together.
Cara Formanek
Bridesmaid
Cara was the first friend I made in Nashville and from the moment we became close, I knew she'd be a forever friend, no matter the distance between us. Cara has been with me through the highs and lows as a fiercely supportive friend that I am so lucky to have by my side.
Matthew Posh
Bridesman
Matt is one of my oldest, dearest friends. Our friendship started back in Sophomore year of high school when we were locker partners. We quickly became close and despite going to different colleges and multiple moves to different states, no amount of time or distance has been able to come between us.
Alex Szotko
Best Man
The Man, The Myth, The Legend. Alex is one of my best friends and even though we've lived away from each other for 4 years, any time we talk or see each other we never skip a beat. I mean, when you spend years as semi-professional baseball mascots together you're bound to become closer than most people. I've lived on this guy's couch, and I owe him 3 years' worth of gas money from when I was too broke to fix my car. Alex is an incredibly hard-working, loyal, generous guy, and I'm blessed to have him as a Best Man. Franky and Crash are back at it again.
Joe Provost III
Groomsman
I've known Joe, AKA JP3, longer than any of the other groomsmen. Since meeting junior year of high school, Joe's been one of my best friends. From sprinting down the road in the morning senior year to avoid being tardy to moving to North Dakota together with no gameplan to transferring to Grand Valley together, Joe's been a huge part of my life. He's been with me through so many major life changes, so it's only fitting for him to be by my side for this one.
Chris Gramer
Groomsman
Chris and I met working in the footwear back-stock of Dick's Sporting Goods. 2 years later, he copycatted me and took a job at Quicken Loans, following me to Detroit. We ended up living together the following year and developed a very close friendship! Even though he got married and finally stopped following me, and actually left for the sunshine of Arizona, we're still great friends and our Snapchat streak is legendary. I had the pleasure of standing in Chris's wedding and am honored that he would return the favor for me!
Michael Zucker
Groomsman
Zuck has been my director at Rocket for almost 4 years now. I've spent more time in the past four years with him than with anyone else. He's been a huge part of my life and a direct influence and mentor to me. I've developed a very close friendship with him over the years and I'm thrilled he's able to stand next to me on my big day.
Zack Forbes
Groomsman
The first day I met Forbes at Quicken he told me that we were going to be best friends. I don't know why, and it seemed weird because we were adults, not in elementary school. But I'm happy to say Zack has become a great friend of mine over the years since then. He's a one-of-a-kind specimen of humanity and nobody who's ever met him will ever forget him.
Robert Tolcer
Groomsman
Bobby and I started at Quicken on the same day in the same training class. Even thought he couldn't cut it as a salesman, he's remained one of my best friends and was even my roommate for two years. If I ever need anything, this is the first guy I call - whether that be moving furniture, or just killing zombies on COD. It's an honor to have him with me on my wedding day.
