Megan & Chris
Wedding Party
Andy Peterson
Best Man
As close to a twin as a non-twin sibling can be, Andy has been a best friend to Chris since he was two years old.
Andrea Brown
Maid of Honor
Andrea is the sister of the bride and her close confidant. They have grown much closer after their teenage years spent bickering about being left at basketball practice and borrowing each other's clothes.
Peter Engstrand
Best Man
Over the last 19 years, Peter has been like a brother to Chris (and Andy) and the Engstrand’s have become a second family. From Minnehaha, to Olaf, to Target, to 4 shared houses, they have remained best friends.
Michael Jarvis
Man of Honor
Michael and Megan met at work. They were traveling a lot at the time and their first trip was to Portugal but there have been many more from Austin, TX to Japan. He has become a very loyal friend to both and a big supporter of Megan & Chris' relationship. Michael is the kindest friend you could ever be lucky enough to have.
Ilse Peterson
Groomswoman
As the middle child, Chris has always looked up to Ilse as a dear friend and role model. Each passing year has made their relationship stronger, and Chris looks forward to continuing that trend.
Taylor Cross
Bridesmaid
Taylor was one of Megan's first friends at the University of St. Thomas. They shared the same lunch hour and ate together everyday. Taylor influenced Megan into becoming an indie-film lover. She radiates goodness. Everyone wants to be her friend and Megan is so glad she is hers.
Charlie Johnson
Groomsman
Chris had the good fortune of being next-door neighbors with Charlie freshman year, and subsequently roommates for the next 3.5 years. Since that first day of college, they’ve been inseparable (despite various zig-zagging moves across the country for each of them).
Greta Omann
Bridesmaid
Greta and Megan met freshmen year at the University of St. Thomas. Post college, they lived together in the North Loop for several years during the prime time of snapchat stories so these mid-20's years are documented very well in the archives. Megan would often say "we're going to look back at these years when we're old and be so grateful for all this fun" ...and she was right.
Paul Kelley
Groomsman
A friend from Minnehaha, Chris and Paul’s friendship picked right back up where it left off once they both moved home to Minneapolis - chasing glory in rec basketball.
Moni Ariens
Bridesmaid
Monica and Megan met during college through a highschool friend (Katie Hannon). They took a spring break trip to Costa Rica that became the first of many travel adventures. They are glad to have made it to today having almost been held captive in Croatia.
Erik Nordstrom
Groomsman
Since 9th grade English, Erik has been a true friend. They share a love for Runyon’s wings and can almost always be found there when Megan has girl’s night.
Alana Duffy
Bridesmaid
Alana and Megan met studying abroad in Rome, Italy. Alana will wrap you in a hug with her kind & caring nature. She has the best laugh and the best dance moves to Poison.
Matt Stewart
Groomsman
Chris and Stew became great friends through their time at Minnehaha, Saint Olaf (briefly) and a shared love of Lifetime Target Center's basketball courts.
Lindsay Barone
Bridesmaid
Lindsay and Megan also met while studying abroad in Rome, Italy. She is still growing back her eyelashes from a tragic event in Rome, do not ask her about it. She makes Megan belly laugh.
Rudy Dyer
Groomsman
Chris and Rudy met on their first night of college in the quad at St. Olaf. Chris introduced Rudy to the Minnehaha guys that night and the rest is history.

Bill came into the friend group through St. Olaf golf and quickly became one of the guys. Chris and Bill became great friends at St. Olaf and in sharing 2 houses together.
