Maggie & Tommy
Wedding Party
Jamie Hood
Maid of Honor
Jamie was my first best friend, as she was the closest Clements cousin in age. Our journies range from singing Baa Bah Blacksheep in diapers to backpacking through South America. Jamie is my number one outdoor adventure buddy. She's getting married this year too! Jamie gets paid to design airplanes (she's really smart).
Ethan Froeschl
Best Man
Ethan...what to say about Ethan. Life of the party...Loudest person in the room...Slytherin...Pharmacist. Ethan and I met in college and had many classes together but really became close once we moved in together in Omaha when I started med school and he started pharm school. For the next 4 years, shenanigans ensued. We have spent way too much time together laying on couches, eating Bag N Save chicken fingers and quoting movies. Ethan lives back in Nebraska and manages a pharmacy while continuing to curate costumes for his impressive Halloween/Christmas collection.
Emma Lamke
Bridesmaid
Another Clements cousin! Rewind 6 years and you have a younger version of Moogs; they call her Emma. Emma has been the BEST third wheel to Tommy and I's relationship. She's seen us grow as a couple from day one, mostly because our house is her second home. She is a selfless woman and will be an amazing future nurse.
Marty McDevitt
Groomsman
Party McDevitt and I happened to sit next to each other on the first day of our first class of college (Calc 2, my favorite!). Not only did we sit next to each other in class, but it ended up he lived two floors above me in our dorm. We became friends quickly and ended up living together the next three years and spent most of our spare time together doing whatever the heck we felt like doing that day. Frisbee, golf, frisbee golf, game cube (a bro tradition unlike any other!). Marty is an energizer bunny, a freak athlete and always down for something ridiculous/spontaneous. Currently, he lives outside of Des Moines with his wife, Nicole, and they are both physical therapists.
Jacque Holman
Bridesmaid
I've always thought Jacque is just, the coolest, and I look up to her in many ways. She has been a best pal since middle school. Her laugh and personality are contagious! After hanging out with Jacque once, her family took me under their wing and loved me as their own. If you've been to LaCrescent, you know the Purdues are legends and Jacque is one of the best! Jacq was my roommate in college for 3 years in the Munster House. Smacks is a speech language pathologist in the Denver Elementary school system and her husband, Handsome Kev is cool too.
Jake Clements
Groomsman
Jake is Maggie's one and only brother! He is a free spirit that makes everything more fun. He's stupid athletic and kills it on the mountain and golf course. He has the two cutest fur babies named Riley and Luna. His life motto is do what makes you happy and that has taught me a lot. He's lived in Silverthorne, CO for the past 6 years - hit him up if you want a shred buddy.
Samantha Berger
Bridesmaid
Sammie, Samurai, Samantha. Another LaC home girl and member of the Munster House. Sam can bring out the weird in everyone and we all need that. She is the queen of the kitchen, home remodeling, witchcraft and wizardry. I'm so proud of Sam and her husband (Big J - Jason) for quitting their jobs to travel the world. Thanks for keeping me weird, Sam.
Jake Mach
Groomsman
Jake is my older cousin and has always been a role model. He's a fiery competitor, a freak athlete and a master swing dancer. Jake and I grew close through our fraternity in college and through his time sporadically living on my couch when he had rotations in Omaha during PA school. Jake, his wife Britney and their newborn Eli live in Minnesota where both Jake and Britney are PA's.
Sarah Anderson
Bridesmaid
Sarah, a Munster house member, is the kindest soul anyone will ever know! She has always been the loving mom of the group and we couldn't have survived wither her wisdom and maturity. Sarah has ran a marathon with me, as well! Sarbears biggest accomplishment is raising the two most darling, adorable boys, Isaac and Ellis. Her and her husband Daniel live in DC. Truly, Sarah is the most genuine, loving human being in the universe.
Matt Benson
Groomsman
I've known Benny (his actual name) since the fifth grade. We played many sports together and spent a lot of time together on the road for baseball. Although we found out we should never be roommates (some like it hot, some like it cold!) Benny and I have remained close and he's someone I can always talk to. He's always been down for an adventure. Claim to fame: He once got threatened by Ndamukong Suh in a pick-up basketball game in college. Benny currently lives outside of Phoenix with his wife, Alexa, and daughter, Ramsey (with another on the way!).
Emily Johnson
Bridesmaid
I love every single personality that Emily owns. This mac n cheese loving traveler always keeps me guessing and laughing. Emily was the first girl in my now group of BFFs to befriend me (you'll have to ask her why) and every ride with you has been an adventure since! Em and her husband Derek just moved back from Ireland and now they have their tiny house parked in Colorado. She is one driven, motivated woman who I can count on for anything. Dog mom to one cute pug, Bubba.
Colin Hays
Honorary Groomsman
Colin was the first person I met when I moved to Nebraska as a four-year-old. Our dads worked together and are friends and thus our families ended up having many FAC's (Friday Afternoon Club) together. We spent a ton of time together up until around high school (I was two grades ahead and we played different sports). Thankfully, once we were both in Lincoln for college we started playing golf together and became close again. Unfortunately, roughly a month before he was to start dental school, Colin was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia and passed away on November 5th, 2014, only a few short months after his diagnosis. After the fact, I was thankful that he was being treated at my medical school and we were able to watch Jeopardy and spend time together. I miss him dearly.
Madeline Etrheim (Ayala)
Personal attendant (7th bridesmaid)
Maddy, the one and only. She raps to the beat of my heart.
Jesse Genrich
Usher
I've known Jesse since pre-school at Mother Goose. We grew up playing basketball together and have been close since Elementary School. Gilb (as he is known), was always down for shenanigans in college as well. I have him to thank for reconnecting with Colin; they were roommates for many years. These days we hit up Nebraska Football away games together (our record together is something like 1-10). Jesse is a guy I can always count on for a good time when I'm back in Lincoln. He currently lives there and is the Assistant GM (not assistant to the GM, Office fans) at the Courtyard Marriott downtown.
Zach Kane
Usher
Zach was in my pledge class in my fraternity in college and we have kept close ever since. Zach will be the one commanding attention on the dance floor while singing with perfect pitch. He is one of the most dependable friends a guy could have. We've spent many Husker game days and nights on porches enjoying hookah together. He currently lives in Lincoln with his wife and children Theo and Margaret and works for the Arbor Day Foundation.
