Maid of Honor
"Nice skirt" were the first words Jenny ever said to me. I thought she was making fun of me because I was the new kid at school so I gave a sarcastic "thanks" back and then I looked up and realized we were rocking the same outfit. Luckily, Jenny gave me a second chance and we were basically inseparable throughout all middle school and high school. Jenny has been there for all of the hardest moments in my life and best moments in my life. She also was the person that turned me into an extrovert with the attitude of shooting my shot and asking "What's the worst thing that could happen?" If you haven't had the honor to meet Jenny before the wedding, she'll be the one making conversation with everyone there! Fun Fact: Jenny is a current travel nurse! Ask her about her current adventure!

Liz and I were roommates at the best school in the world, University of Wisconsin-Madison! Go Badgers! We were both Evans Scholars and we met at New Scholar Day where you would meet all of the incoming freshmen in your class. We had our first slumber party that night at the Evans Scholar house and we talked about all of our upcoming adventures at the school. We had a lot over 4.5 years! We would study together, gym together, cook (in the microwave) together, tailgate together, go to football games together and annoy the boys in the house together. I'm so thankful for our adventures. You will find Liz and I telling each other how pretty the other person is and hugging each other a lot. Fun Fact: Liz probably has the most blackmail on me. Ask her about a fun/embarrassing college story!

Target brought Haley and I together. It was my first day of my internship and Haley was giving myself and the other interns tips about how to have a good experience since she had been an intern the previous summer. Fast forward a couple of years and Haley and I both were working up at Target HQ in Minneapolis. We were both new to the area so we met up and it didn't take long to start to build a friendship. That friendship was solidified when Haley started talking to me about a trip to Croatia called Yacht Week. You can find Haley and I day drinking at the resort. Remind us to take pictures before we drink too much. Fun Fact: Haley, Michael and I have spent the most time together of the wedding party. We call ourselves the tripod.

Maddie came into my life when I met her husband, Ethan, during a bowling league with Haley and Jess. Ethan was in the same league with the only group of guys that were our age. We would regularly give the guys a hard time about being better at bowling than them. Eventually the shit talking led us having a Christmas bar crawl where Ethan brought his then fiancé over for a pre-game. Maddie immediately was her outgoing and competitive self. Jess, Haley and I claimed her as our friend immediately, even though she cheated during our drinking game. You can find Maddie encouraging everyone else to take shots and then walking away while you deal with the hangover by yourself. Fun Fact: Maddie is incredibly talented at finding links to your dream outfit on the internet.

Liz is my sweet big sister! When my mom got pregnant with me, Liz really wanted another sister to go shopping with and do her hair and make up with.

I finally converted to being a girlie girl now that I've grown up! When we see each other, Liz and I enjoy going for runs together to spend time catching up. Liz has a big heart and always tries to make everyone feel included. You will find Liz singing and dancing all night long on the dance floor! Fun Fact: Liz is an incredible singer!

Best Man
Dylan and I go way back to the scrawny, baby face days where we couldn’t fully grow a beard, but we promise the facial hair was there! We grew up playing football together and hanging out on summer nights at some of the many miscellaneous fests that the Fox Valley has to offer. Fast forward to adulthood, we now have luscious beards and were fortunate enough to spend a few years living in the same city again in Minneapolis where we would reminisce on the good old days and create some new memories. Dylan is currently in Med. School in Green Bay where he is soaking up enough medical information for 5 lifetimes. You will find Dylan scattered throughout various groups of friends/family catching up on life and being the voice of reason when too many margaritas from the swim up bar are consumed.
Groomsman
Joe and I, similar to Liz and Megan, were both Evans Scholars and met on New Scholar Day where I immediately told Joe that I think he seems like a cool person and that we should be roommates. This was the start of 4 years of being roommates together in the Evans Scholar house as well as one final semester outside of the Evans House where we had an apartment on State Street. Joe and I have had many late nights at the library together as well as many late nights having slow motion fights, grabbing drinks, and dancing in our “basement” which most people know as Whiskey Jacks Saloon. You will find Joe hanging around our Evans Scholar friends enticing people to make questionable decisions.

I am pretty sure Zander was already one of my best friends before I even knew that he existed. Zander came into the Evans house a year after Joe and I and without skipping a beat, we were inseparable. We played a lot of intramural sports together, went on spring break to PCB and the Dominican Republic, and took many road trips with the Evans House to other schools across the Big 10. Whenever you go out with Zander, be prepared for anything to happen. He always ends up with some interesting stories whether he is at a golf outing, a charity event or a night out. You will find Zander and I making questionable decisions throughout the resort because Joe convinced us that it was a good idea. Have your cameras ready.
Groomsman
Jake is the middle brother of the Bunno Family. Jake is 2 years older than me so we grew up playing almost any sport you could think of together. Jake is responsible for many of my injuries growing up as a child. The most notable injury came when Jake thought it would be fun to drive a remote-control Barbie car down the upstairs hallway and send it down the stairs without knowing what is at the bottom. Unfortunately for little Michael, his face was at the bottom of the stairs. Jake no longer injures me for fun anymore. He now enjoys being horizontal, playing intramural sports, and the occasional themed party. You fill find Jake trying to relive his college days celebrating life at the pool bar.
Groomsman
Josh is the OG Bunno brother. Growing up I would always “borrow” his Smashmouth and Nelly CD’s and listen to them on repeat….well, to this day. Thanks for the good taste in music! Like all of us, Josh enjoys some friendly competition and is always down for a game night. We are no longer allowed to play King of Tokyo anymore because I can never win. Josh has also recently started taking a yearly road trip with the parents and his dog, Bucky, throughout the US to see different famous landmarks. You will find Josh hanging around the entire Bunno family during the family’s first international trip together.
