Wedding Party

Mary Hinzey

Bride

Nicknames: Mar, Marebear, Hinz If you're reading this, you know me.

Will King

Groom

Nicknames: Willy, Wilbur, Big Mama What she said.

Katie Hinzey

Maid of Honor

Mary's Sister Nicknames: Kit-Kat, KK, My Mom's Favorite Despite being almost 3.5 years younger than me, most people assume Katie is actually MY older sister. I'm not entirely sure what that says about me, but I do use it as an excuse to call her multiple times a day...every day (she lives two blocks away from us in Chicago to fully comprehend how unnecessary this is). Unfortunately for her as my Maid of Honor and fortunately for me as an obsessed older sister, she has answered the majority of these calls since I asked her to be my MOH. All of my fondest memories in life involve my sweet baby sis. I could not imagine my life without my partner in crime, my reality check, my biggest competitor, and most importantly, my forever best friend, Katie.

Briggs King

Best Man

Will's Identical Twin Brother Nicknames: B, BTK, Will's "Older" Brother Briggs and I have always been inseparable, some would say since birth. We have done everything together and I don't know where I'd be without my "older" brother in my life. Briggs has always pushed me to be my best, especially given the natural comparison that exists by virtue of being an identical twin. While he has (arguably) overtaken me in basketball ability, I never fail to remind him of the small things where I excel (i.e. my ability to dunk). I'm so lucky to have a Best Man like Briggs by my side on my wedding day.

Colleen King

Bridesmaid

Will's Sister Nicknames: Col, Franny, Leenie Beenie Bag There is not a person in the world who dislikes Colleen King...except for me on Notre Dame football gamedays ☺. As one of the most positive and upbeat women I know, Colleen is the type of person who makes you want to change the world. She always goes the extra mile for those she cares about and has a contagious personality. I am so lucky to have another little sister whose genuine love for life is surpassed only by her love for God.

John King

Best Man

Will's Younger Brother Nicknames: J, JCK, Bishop Where to start when describing my younger brother. John has an incredible presence and always seems to bring a smile to people's faces, particularly when describing a recent accomplishment of his! Never one to shy away from a party, or a cold beverage, John is always the life of the party. John's dance moves are enviable in our family, and most would say he is the only one with any rhythm. I can't wait to celebrate with my Best Man and rip it up on the dance floor come July 23rd.

Abbie Overman

Bridesmaid

Mary's Cousin Nicknames: Abs, Willie, Lambeau's Mom Abbie has always been viewed as an extension of our family. From joining us on family vacations to spontaneous visits from Minnesota, I always remembering thinking "I wish Abbie was my sister." If you were to ask anyone in our extended family who their favorite cousin was - I am certain every single person would say Abbie. Her loyalty, thoughtfulness, and sense of humor are only a few qualities that make her not just an amazing woman, but also the best cousin (and best bridesmaid) EVER!

David Hinzey

Groomsman

Mary's Younger Brother Nicknames: The Dude, Beaster, The Doctor If you ever need a movie recommendation, David is your go-to guy. David's love of movies is closely matched by his sweet tooth for post-dinner custard, a habit which I have quickly picked up on during my many visits up to Wisconsin! David's quick laugh is infectious and you can count on him to provide a one-liner to make your day that much better. His love for Mary and his family is unmatched and it has been awesome getting to know him over the last few years.

Jasmin Zaki

Bridesmaid

Mary's Friend | High School Nicknames: Mena, Jaz, Jay-Z Jasmin and I had a rough start to our friendship. We met in choir class in 6th grade, where I gracefully asked her her name and why she wasn't wearing any Abercrombie. She went home that day and cried to her parents about a "new bully at school named Mary;" I went home that day and told my parents I just made a "new friend at school named Jasmin." The rest is history. Jasmin is one of my oldest and dearest friends despite not having lived in the same state since we went off to college. She has been with me through thick and thin and is truly a heaven-sent angel on earth. There is no one kinder, goofier, or more loving than my Mena.

Alex Amato

Groomsman

Will's Friend | Grade School & High School Nicknames: Al, Xander, Taco Alex is one of my oldest friends and is one of the most thoughtful and considerate people you will ever meet. Alex always makes himself available for a conversation, whether that be about faith, work, or weekend escapades! I am so thankful for the memories we've made over the years, from road trips, to college visits, and everything in between, he has always been willing and eager to embark on an adventure. Alex has taught me a lot over the years and I wouldn't be who I am today without him in my life. I can't wait to join you in the married life...I'm sure you've got a lot of great advice for me, even if sometimes unsolicited :)

Kirsten Siladi

Bridesmaid

Mary's Friend | College Nicknames: Kirst, Kirsty, Miss Germany I met Kirsten my freshman year of college during sorority rush and we instantly became close friends. We realized we were both Business majors, we grew up 15 minutes away from each other, and we both loved German culture. And by German culture, I meant beer and cheese curds. For every Badger football game, every study sesh, every night out, and every late night girl talk, Kirst was always right by my side. She is not only compassionate and sincere, but is a calming presence and a perfectly beautiful complement to myself.

Sam Byrne

Groomsman

Will's Friend | High School & College Nicknames: Sammy, Devereaux If you haven't had the chance to meet Sam, I strongly encourage you to seek him out come wedding day, although he may find you first. Sam will undoubtedly be the life of the party and will ensure every guest is having an amazing time and has a cold Coors Light in hand. Sam has been by my side for some of my best (and worst) moments, and I am so happy for every single one of them. It is very rare you get to go to college with one of your best friends, let alone room with him for 8 straight years! I am so thankful to have such an amazing life long friend, and one who knows me better than I even know myself sometimes.

Aditi Mishra

Bridesmaid

Mary's Friend | College / Chicago Nickname: Deets, My Friend from California Aditi and I first met each other in college at Wisconsin, but it wasn't really until we both moved to Chicago that we started becoming close friends. We always find time to bond over our love of feminism and food, specifically sushi and desserts. As we like to say: "We workout to be able to eat more food." Aditi is one of the smartest, most dependable people I know. I am forever grateful for my "friend from California" as my adult life would not be the same without such an incredible, strong, and downright fun friend.

Jack Richmond

Groomsman

Will's Friend | Grade School & High School Nicknames: JR, Jackson, Noonan I have known Jack for as long as I can remember, which may be the reason why Jack gets mistaken for Briggs and my 'triplet' brother at times. From the countless fishing trips, basketball games, and all the family activities we have done together, Jack has been with me for some of my fondest childhood memories. I like to think Jack likes me better than my other brothers, mainly because I am the only one he hasn't sent to the ER through countless backyard shenanigans...hopefully I'm not due!

Barb Schaefer

Reader

Mary's Aunt & Godmother Nicknames: Barbie Barb is my aunt and Godmother, a title that couldn't be more fitting. She has been a part of my life for every major moment that I can remember. Some of our favorite activities include going to afternoon tea, golfing, and finding a good new restaurant or recipe. My siblings and I always reference Barb as our "second mom." She is the sweetest, most thoughtful aunt you'll ever meet. We can't wait for her to be a reader on our special day!

Matt Naughton

Usher

Will's Friend | Grade School & High School Nicknames: Matty Matt is one of my closest friends and has been a golf rival of mine for as long as I can remember...although can you really call it a rivalry if he beats me every time? As my only "lawyer friend," I fully expect to lean on Matt for personal and professional advice for many years to come. Although, the one piece of advice I never have appreciated is the unsolicited advice on the tee box for how to fix my slice, as needed as it may be! Matt is as easy of a person to talk to as you'll find and I can't wait for the memories to come and stories we'll share!
