Emily & Nathan
Wedding Party
Livvy Kurtz
Maid of Honor
Livvy is Emily’s younger sister, best friend, and ultimate sidekick at all family events. Livvy loves Nate since he accepts her (very frequent) Venmo requests for $1. Please make sure Livvy is drinking water during the reception, she’s got college finals the next morning!
Michael Stram
Best Man
Michael & Nate met in college and were roommates all four years. A college highlight included pulling together three twin beds to create a megabed (which lasted an entire year) Michael helped introduce Emily & Nate so yeah, he deserves a spot at the table.
Liz Cain
Bridesmaid
Liz & Emily became fast friends back in sixth grade English class. Through middle school socials, high school spring breaks, and three years of living together in college, the two have truly been through it all. Make sure to ask Liz about Nate’s 2013 white Air Force Ones.
Daniel Skarie
Groomsman
Daniel is Nate's brother, and as of recently, a new father. He may be the oldest & wisest, but he definitely didn't get the family's dance genes. If you see someone letting out 10 months of parenthood on the dance floor, it's probably him.
Megan Britt
Bridesmaid
The two met on the church volleyball team back in middle school. Neither made the “A” team, but they did quickly bond over regularly showing up to practice late with Panera smoothies in hand. They’ve been inseparable ever since.
Michael Skarie
Groomsman
Nate's middle bother, Michael, is the reason Nathan consumed top-shelf Gordon's Vodka ($10.99) exclusively throughout college. A veterinarian, he recently has taken up a hobby of buying and trading live coral...so there's that.
Kristin Bryden
Bridesmaid
By luck of the draw, Kristin & Emily got placed in the same class in elementary school and have been friends for the last two decades. They grew up having way too many lemonade stands and “choreographing” way too many awful dances. As of recently, the two are finally living in the same city again!
Evan Paget
Groomsman
Nate and Evan met during freshman year of college while Evan was visiting Michael Stram (Best Man). The "Crust Man" at Palermo's, if you're ever looking for a fourth for a round of golf and a never ending freezer of frozen pizza in Milwaukee, he's your guy.
Erica Powell
Bridesmaid
Erica & Emily bonded over both having to squeeze their beds into closets sophomore year of college. They formed a tight friendship filled with late night karaoke sessions & Real Housewives marathons. Challenge Erica to a 2000’s rap battle if you’re looking for some fun.
Nick Olson
Groomsman
Nick was there the night Emily and Nathan met in Madison, and was gracious enough to pick up the entire tab for the night at AJ Bomber's. Look for the tallest guy on the dance floor recording the night to find Nick (he's *almost* Tik Tok famous).
Emily Utic
Bridesmaid
You can expect Emily to be the first one on the dance floor and the last one to leave it. Always the life of the party, we love Emily for her adventurous spirit, kind heart, & ability to have fun in every situation. The two Emily's met each other during Welcome Week of freshman year in good ol’ UW-Madison Sellery Hall.
Marvin Stokes
Groomsman
After meeting sophomore year of college and living together for two years, Nate and Marvin have remained close despite Marvin taking on years eight and nine of schooling at Columbia in New York City. Hit Marv up if you're looking for some NYC real estate.
