Madi & Ethan
The Squad
Madi Stuhlreyer
Bride
Growing up my parents always told me that you'll know when the right person for you walks into your life....I didn't believe them. That was until I had my infamous first date with Madi. My first memory of her was her posing and dancing in front of her apartment building as I sat in my car. I saw this beautiful woman, who seemed so confident, happy and energetic. Hanging out with her and Wiggle aka Siggle aka Siggle Butt aka .....Sig during that date, her love for dogs was evident the entire time. In my mind, I knew that she was special. She was the missing puzzle piece to my life.
Ethan Taylor
Groom
Within the first couple of weeks of dating Ethan, I knew he was it. This was what people described in the movies, in books, in life. He is so gentle, kind and respectful. He is funny and silly. Ethan is thoughtful and genuine. There are so many words to describe him, but I am so excited to finally call him my husband.
Mindy Wehr
Matron of Honor
Madi's Cousin Mindy was my manager at my first job at Wendy's. But that's not how we met. That actually happened when I was born. She's insanely organized and detail-oriented. I'd be a fool not to let her steer this ship.
Dale Taylor
Best Man
Father of the Groom As a father, Dale has been my constant role model for as to what a loving husband, father and leader of a household should be. I am so happy to have him stand beside me and continue supporting me as my best man.
Marykate Roberts
Chief of Bridesmaids
Madi's Cousin Mindy and Katie have always been more like sisters to me than cousins. But Katie has taken that fact to a whole other level. She and I have the same shoe size; something she has fully taken advantage of. I've lost many sweatshirts, t-shirts, sweatpants and shoes to this woman. But I think I'll keep her around anyway.
Ryan Warf
Groomsman
Older Brother. As my older brother Ryan has always been there in my life. He was always the big brother there to protect Hunter and I. I am so thankful to have him by my side.
Jillian Allen
Bridesmaid
Madi's Friend from Medical School Before starting medical school, I decided to meet a future classmate for lunch. After a couple of hours together, we looked at each other and said "do you, like, wanna be friends from now on?" Haven't been able to get rid of each other since.
Hunter Taylor
Groomsman
Younger Brother Growing up with a younger brother as close in age as Hunter was to me you tend to do everything together. I am so happy to have Hunter standing beside me as one of my groomsmen.
Clara Tadros
Bridesmaid
Madi's Friend from Chick-fil-A #2, also goes by "Clare" On my first day working at my new Chick-fil-A, I met a girl named "Clara". I said "Clara, can I call you Clare? I like nicknames." Secretly, in my mind, I decided that we would be friends forever. Guess things worked out.
Adam White
Groomsman
College Roommate Adam and I met my freshman year in college during football training camp. Through the years we became best friends and roommates.
Elizabeth Mages
Bridesmaid
Madi's Friend from Chick-fil-A #1 People say that there are friends that you don't see often, but when you do, it's like nothing has changed. That's Elizabeth. When we're together, we are constantly making each other laugh. She's been by my side since I was 16, why stop now?
Brad Stuhlreyer
Groomsman
Madi’s Brother Through all the years of bickering, he has always been my protector, role model and constant source of laughter. Before Ethan met my family, I was way more nervous to get Brad's blessing than my dad's!
Sig Stuhlreyer
Dog of Honor
To answer your first question: No, Sig will not be a part of the wedding ceremony. Come on, guys. Sig's insane. We're not gamblers. Sig became my partner in crime in May of 2017. He was 17lbs (now he's pushing 100) and the cutest ball of fluff you'd ever lay your eyes on. When he was 6 months old, Ethan and I went on our first date. He hid some chicken jerky in his pocket to make Sig fall in love with him. Needless to say - it worked. Sig's my baby, my everything, and I was so concerned that any guy I dated wouldn't be just as obsessed with Sig as I am. But Ethan's put that fear to rest. I always joke that Sig and Ethan love each other more than either of them loves me, and part of that may be true. We love being a little family and can't imagine life without him!
