Marisa & Gregory
Wedding Party
Rosalie Schmidt
Matron of Honor
Rosalie and I have been the best of friends since we were babies! My mom and her mom have been best friends since the late 80's, and Rosalie and I grew up together from the very beginning. I couldn't have imagined my big day, without my best friend and sister by my side, as I stood by hers on her big day! Growing up, you could find us marching around with flaming sticks at her family's cabin up north, mixing up potions for our "cooking show," sledding off the side of her granny's deck, trying to fly with cardboard wings, or in the hot tub with our "martini's" trying to act like the adults! And now, as we become adults, we are still just as silly as we were back then! Interesting Fact: Rosalie was Miss Wisconsin in 2015!
Joseph Abing
Best Man
Joe and I have been friends for over 15 years. We met at school where we started to become friend. We played in the high school marching band and winter drumline together. During high school Joe was another one of my parents "kids". We always hung out after school and went to my parents during lunch. We went to college 30 minutes apart from each other and got to see each other pretty regularly after high school. After college Joe went on to become a commercial pilot and move to Minnesota. He is still a Packer, Badger and Brewer fan, so don't worry. Even though Joe lives 5 hours away we still keep in touch and see each other when we can, whether it is a road trip up to see him or a free flight back home (the perks of being a pilot.)
Courtney Cotto
Bridesmaid
For those that don't know, Courtney is my big sister! We shared a bedroom on and off over the first 13 years of my life, which believe me, at times was not fun. I was the annoying little sister that would steal her clothes and make up, until she moved away from home when I was starting middle school. I didn't want to admit it at the time, but I HATED when she was gone. Within the last 10 years, Courtney moved down to Chicago and started her family. She is a wife, and a mom to three of my most adorable nieces and nephews, all of which are in our wedding! I couldn't have imagined having my big day without my big sister, the planner, and the most trustworthy person I know. I cant thank her enough for all of the advice and help over the years, she truly is the best!
Erik Feller
Best Man
Erik and I have been best friends for over 20 years. We met at school and ever since then we have been inseparable. We spent everyday in high school together whether it was during school, after school, or every day in the summer. We stayed close throughout college when he stayed home and I moved two and half hours away. We talked everyday. We saw each other about once a month whether he came to visit me (and Joe) or I came home. He is also one of my parents "kids". Joe, Erik and myself were always together. It didn't matter what we were doing we always had fun doing it. Erik is like a brother to me and probably knows me better than I know myself. He is one of the few people that actually knows how to get me embarrassed and it takes a lot to do that!
Alyssa Neuleib
Bridesmaid
Alyssa and I met in the fourth grade, when I called her up one day and asked her to do the Talent show with me! We almost won the contest within our class on who would perform with our dance routine to Hillary Duff's "Haters." From that moment on, we became best friends. I moved away after the fourth grade but from the talent show on, we were inseparable. Every weekend we spent it together, doing crazy things like jumping off her second story balcony onto her trampoline, smearing Mayo all over her moms car one night, and trying to go sledding in the middle of summer in garbage bags down Lowell hill. We grew up but we still act like were 15 years old when we are together! My mom likes to call us "The Giggle Girls," because all we do when we are together is laugh!
Tom Hahn
Groomsman
Tom and I have been friends for about 10 years. We met through Erik (best man). Tom and I have always enjoyed each others company and can make each other laugh. I think this has a lot to do with our passion for woodworking and fishing. Tom is always the life of any party, more specifically when he is making fun of my laugh (just ask him to do it for you).
Mollee Feller
Bridesmaid
If it wasn't for Greg, I never would've met such a wonderful friend! Mollee and I have known each other since two days after mine & Greg's first date! Greg invited me to come to a Beer Garden with some friends two days later, and that day I met Mollee! It took us a while to get to know each other, but soon enough we became good friends. Over the years, I have gotten to watch how she has gone from girlfriend, fiancee, wife, dog mom, and now to Momma. Mollee and I can be found shot gunning sweet teas, taking back jello shots, and ganging up on the boys when they are acting a little too ridiculous. But i couldn't ask for a better friend through life!
Alex Becker
Groomsman
Alex and I go way back. Lets just say since the day I was born. As any siblings growing up we didn't always get along and fought a lot. Even with that being said we both grew up and I couldn't imagine Marisa's day without her. She has always stood by me on my decisions and is super excited to be getting a sister. She loves hot sauce, corny jokes, puns, and sports. If you need to know almost every Jeopardy question just ask Alex. She is full of fun and interesting knowledge. So smart its hard to keep up what is going on. Make sure to wish Alex a Happy Birthday as her birthday was just a couple days before our wedding, October 12th!
Sami Czech
Bridesmaid
You thought that I couldn't possibly have more sisters, right? WRONG. Sami is my brother's wife, but basically is just like all of my other sisters! Sami has been one of my closest friends throughout the time she has been with my brother. Together, we are a hot mess. Sami never seems to be too serious, and continues to make everyone she is around laugh. She will never let anyone forget that she was the "Rock Girl" for our local rock station, and the LAST rock girl at that. She is full of sarcasm and hilarious one liners, and has an attitude you wont forget! I am blessed to have her as one of my best friends, and a life long sister! She is also momma to one of our nieces (who is also in the wedding, along with Courtney & Lindsey's kiddos!)
Casey Czech
Groomsman
Casey is Marisa's big brother, and one of her very best friends. 15 years ago, you would have never heard those words come out of Marisa's mouth. Growing up, her and Casey did not get along- at all. Once they both grew up, they became much closer. Marisa considers Casey as her hero for always being the big protective (but comforting) brother when he needs to be. Countless times, Casey was there when she needed him. Casey was always the person that could make anyone laugh as well. He is seriously hilarious! You will find Casey out on the dance floor channeling his inner Michael Jackson. Watch out for his signature moon-walk! Casey is married to Sami, and their little girl is in the wedding also!
Lindsey Guerrero
Bridesmaid
My little, Big sister! Lindsey is my oldest sister, being a whole 13 years older than me! She is the life of any party, she throws it down on the dance floor (and at the bar), and is the best accomplice for any shenanigans! I recall a number of times getting text messages or videos from her late at night dancing and having a blast! What better person to be apart of the wedding than someone who is going to hype the party up and keep it going all night long! Some of my favorite memories include spending a night at our sisters house, laughing hysterically with our Mom until wee hours of the night (when we had to be up with the babies early the next morning). Lindsey is also the momma to my two oldest nephews (both of which are in the wedding, just like Courtney's kiddos). Dont forget to wish Lindsey a Happy Birthday as her birthday was just a couple days before the wedding, October 11th!
Matt Scott
Groomsman
Matt and I have been friends for a little over 10 years. We met at college and even became roomates during and after. We always have a good time together whether it is playing cribbage (he mostly wins but don't let him know I said that), yelling at the TV during a sporting event or going fishing. We always have a good laugh. He is originally from Chicago area but he still hates da Bears and loves the Badgers. Probably why we became such good friends.
Capri & Amelia Cotto
Flower Girl
Capri & Amelia are Marisa's twin nieces! The first girls born into the Pritchard side of our family in almost 20 years, and TWINS at that! These two are full of energy and giggles, and some attitude. Amelia loves her "Uncle Taco" and the two of them have created a bond that is so beautiful. Capri is our sassy little girl who loves to be in control! Either way, half the time, we still cant even tell them apart! Wish them a Happy Birthday on our big day, because they will be turning 4 on the 23rd!
Layla Czech
Flower Girl
Layla is Marisa's youngest niece, and her brother Casey's first child! She is a spicy little girl with the attitude of her mother, but a big heart like her dad. She loves Rock music just like her dad, and some of her favorite songs are by Alice in Chains. Being the daughter of the last Rock girl comes with Rocking expectations! Wish baby Lala a Happy Birthday as she turns 2 on the 26th!
Roman Cotto
Ring Bearer
Roman is another one of Marisa's nephews, and youngest one at that! Roman is such a sweetheart, who loves his sisters like no one else ever could. He is kind and protective, but also SO silly! The worst part? HE'S A CUBS FAN. Ugh. Just like his dad... We still love him either way! He LOVES his dinosaurs and could name any dinosaur you can think of, Jurassic Park movies are some of his favorite, but over all he just loves to be a silly kid!
Samuel Becker
Ring Bearer
Sam is Greg's little cousin. One of the cutest, sweetest, silliest little boys we know! He loves his trains, books, and his dog, Bradley!
Jaxon Preiss
Usher
Jaxon is Marisa's oldest nephew. Jaxon was born when Marisa was just 11 years old, so the two of them really grew up together. Marisa spent many times babysitting and hanging out with Jaxon and his younger brother Alec. Jaxon loves to draw, and play video games. He loves all of his cousins, and he is so excited to be apart of his Auntie's wedding. He loves to help out as much as he can, and he has the sweetest laugh you will ever hear!
Jonas Becker
Usher
Jonas is another one of Greg's little cousins! He is as smart as a whip and will talk your ears off for days about anything and everything. He loves to read, playing with Nerf guns, and loves his dog Bradley! Marisa is so happy to be joining the family with him & his Brother!
Alec Preiss
Usher
Alec is Marisa's second oldest nephew, and an usher in our wedding. Alec has spent countless times with his Auntie, just hanging out and cuddling. Alec was always the cuddliest kid growing up, but now that hes older it has become less and less over the years. Every so often he still surprises his Auntie with the best cuddles ever. Alec loves to talk! He is also very active outside, and loves to play. He can be a bit of a firecracker at times, but is the sweetest kid, who cannot wait for the big day!
Emily Hart
Officiant
One more sister you didn't know Marisa has! Emily's mom, Jill, and Marisa's dad, Bill, have been married for over 20 years, and Emily has been apart of Marisa's life for longer than that! Emily is the best person in the world to make you laugh! She is never too serious, and always has a funny voice or weird action she's doing. Please make sure to ask her to sing the Splash Mountain song! We are so blessed to have Emily be a part of our big day, and playing such a huge roll in it all! Even more so, Marisa is just so happy she can have all of her sisters by her side on her big day!
