Matron of Honor
We famously met at the age of two in dance class, and soon found out that we lived down the street from one another. A large part of my childhood was spent at Marisa's house making up dances to the Grease soundtrack, sledding down the hill behind her house, and being forced to eat peas against my will. Now that she lives in Wisconsin with her husband, Josh, you can catch us enjoying margaritas and guacamole when we are both visiting home.
Bridesmaid
Nicole and I met in high school through Marisa! We lost touch for a few years, but picked up right where we left off. I was even the one to train Nicole at her current job, and I would argue that I am her favorite coworker (sorry Uncle Chip). When we are together, we like to start our day with a coffee and end it with a wine tasting.
Bridesmaid
Kelsey and I met the very last day of junior high, but luckily found ourselves in the same friend group in high school. She was the first phone call I made when Andrew and I started dating 9 years ago, and often likes to remind him that she was there first.
Bridesmaid
Becky is the cousin I can always count on to bring jello shots to the family Christmas party. Growing up we would often meet up for breakfast at 6am on a Saturday and get yelled at for hugging each other too much. We have shared many great memories growing up together over the years, which has caused us to communicate now mainly through inside jokes.
Officiant
Brian and I met in high school, but we became much closer in college. We lived together during our junior and senior years at ISU and became parents to our cat, Leonardo DiCatrio. After college, our love of travel took us to 7 countries and 3 continents together. We are either exploring the world or sitting on couch in sweatpants watching South Park, eating junk food, and drinking wine. There is no in between.
Flower Girl
We adopted Paisley in August from a local rescue. She enjoys eating sticks outside, cuddling on the couch, and playing tug of war.
Best Man
Brother, twin, rappie, bot... These are just some of the words I would use to describe Matt. Since we have done everything together from birth we are alike in many ways. Although Matt and I now live in different states, we still keep in touch daily. Currently, Matt occupies his time working for Winnebago as an industrial designer, as well as, having a part time job eating crayons...
Groomsman
Mark and I met through my brother in high school. Whether it was staying up to the wee hours of the morning to play poker, or attempting to make BBQ sauce with Mountain Dew, there are no shortages of funny stories to reminisce about. Nowadays Mark's main diet is buzzword soup and gelato, as he continues to work for trendy software companies. He has remained a true friend, and one that I can always trust... as long as we shake hands.
Groomsman
Trevor and I met in 2nd grade after my brother kicked him in the balls. While it was an atypical start to a friendship, Trevor and I have remained friends now for going on 20 years. There are simply too many crazy stories to list here. Nowadays I mostly stay in contact with Trevor online, while playing video games. Until this day he proceeds to get second place in TFT and is hoping to get first place soon. While it's fun roasting him online, Trevor is famously charismatic and a true friend.
Groomsman
Parth and I have known each for a long time, but we really became good friends in high school. More formally known as "PdoG" to the group (yes that captial G is intentional), Pdog and I have had some wild times. He has always kept it real, and has remained a good friend until this day. If there are two things I know for sure about Pdog, it is that he loves bacon, and is wicked smart. This can be confirmed, as he works for Facebook, and joins Mark daily eating soup.
