Jack & Mary
Wedding Party
Ann
Maid of Honor
Ann is one of my younger sisters- we've always been close and have shared so much of life together. Ann is an amazing artist and photographer (hit her up for all of your art and photograph needs). I can always count on Ann to love, pray, and be there for me. She is a huge blessing to everyone she knows! Whether playing dress-up when we were little, or fighting over clothes in high school (and sometimes now), we still are the closest of friends.
Danny
Best Man
Danny is my younger (taller) brother. We've been very close for as long as I can remember. We grew up spending hours each day together playing outside, sports, video games, fishing, and hunting. Many of these activities continue to this day, accompanied now by conversations about life experiences, faith and guidance. He's the best brother a guy could ask for.
Hannah
Bridesmaid
Hannah is one of my older sisters. She and I share a love of British period dramas and taking turns giving each other shoulder massages. I've always looked up to Hannah, and loved when mom would put us in matching outfits when we were little- even though Hannah "didn't like her little sister matching her" haha! Hannah is also a video game queen- she's so good at them, and beats me in Mario Kart every single time.
Joe
Groomsman
Joe is my cousin. We've been through everything together and I don't take a single one of those memories for granted. Joe has grown very close to Mary in the past few years as well. A St. Cloud student himself, Joe has taken Mary under his wing as his "protege." Although an avid Eagles fan, we still love Joe for exactly who he is. #Skol
Kelly
Bridesmaid
Kelly is another of my younger sisters- there's a six year difference between us, and it has been fun watching Kelly grow up and become close with us older sisters. She is in her senior year of high school! We loooove to go on many coffee and shopping dates together. We've shared many heart to hearts about life, faith, friends, and I'm so grateful to have a sister like Kelly!
Dayton
Groomsman
I met Dayton the first night of college and we've been super close ever since! After four amazing years as roommates, I think we both can say we've seen some things few others will see in their lifetime. It's been one heck of a ride and I can't wait for the years to come. Dayton has been a great role model and huge influence in my faith walk for which I'm extremely grateful. (Ladies - I'm sorry to say, he is not single).
Rachel
Bridesmaid
Rachel is my future sister-in-law. I'm pretty sure Rachel and I first met at a party at UWEC where we both went to college. Since I started dating Jack we've become so close, and always have so much fun together. I'm so thankful to have such a kind, thoughtful, and funny future sister! I can't wait to officially be sisters!
Logan
Groomsman
Logan and I met through swimming at the start of college six years ago and we've been great buddies since! Known for his skills on the green, ability to dougie, and his multiple personas, Logan can truly do it all. But don't let that fool you...he has a soft side too! He's a strong leader and an even better friend. He is currently using those skills teaching elementary school students in the Eau Claire area.
Emily
Bridesmaid
Emily is my cousin/bff/soul sister- we always say how blessed we are to be family! I wouldn't be where I am today without Emily. We have always been close, and we talk every day. Emily has been a huge role model for me my entire life and I'm so thankful for her Godly example. She was there the night I met Jack and she said, "He's cute! Why don't you date him?", and I said, "Oh that's Jack Kelly- he would never like me!" Funny how things turned out!
Noah
Groomsman
Noah and I met through swimming at Wayzata in middle school and have been attending school and swimming together since (I've been following him). I likely wouldn't have attended UWEC if it weren't for him. He's been a great friend and mentor throughout these years and not just to myself but really everyone that he comes into contact with. I'm very grateful for that. On a side note, he takes the term "life of the party" to a whole new level.
Ally
Bridesmaid
Ally and I became friends at UWEC where we met in a bible study. We started hanging out and then ended up in BIO 151 together and often had study and homework dates, and then we really became super close! You can always find Ally and I having many life conversations and laughs over a cup of coffee or perhaps a glass of wine. We are like two peas in a pod. Ally is one of my best friends and I'm so glad UWEC brought us together.
Dylon
Groomsman
Dylon and I met through a mutual friend in middle school and have been very good friends ever since. From the countless summer days drinking Mountain Dew and playing video games to late nights playing hockey in his backyard, it's been a great decade of friendship filled with many laughs. Although a teddy bear at heart, never get one of his new hats dirty. That doesn't end well for anyone. A lover of...comedy, test Dyl with your best jokes.
Sarah
Junior Bridesmaid
Sarah is my youngest sister, and she is 13 years old. She lights up our life! Sarah loves going to school, being outside, playing with toys, and giving hugs. She has been in speech therapy her whole life and is the reason why I chose to pursue speech therapy as my career. Sarah has a special way of touching the lives of everyone she meets- she is the sweetest and kindest girl I know!
Elle
Bridesmaid
Elle is my oldest friend- we grew up down the dirt road from each other and were almost always together growing up. We were always up to something- dressing up and choreographing dance routines, building a "poker palace" in her basement out of futon mattresses, and so many other funny stories. Elle has been a constant friend for so long, and she never hesitates to give me the best advice and love me where I'm at. We've been through thick and thin together. Everyone needs an Elle!!
Natalie
Flower Girl
Natalie is Jack's sweet little cousin. She'll be a 2nd grader this fall. She loves school and is great at social studies, geography, and loves to read. She also loves to draw, color, swim, ride her bike, and explore playgrounds. She enjoys helping mom bake and she's a great big sister! We can't imagine our wedding without her! Every wedding needs a special flower girl!
