Maid of Honor
Erin, is my baby sister and best friend. When she was born I could have never have imagined how lucky I was to have a sister I would become so close to. Most people think she is the older, much cooler Beacom sibling. She has known Drew since she was 9 years old and now she's almost his height! Erin has always been there for me, and I couldn't say "I do" without her on our wedding day!
Best Man
A-A Ron is an inspiring soul I'm lucky to have as my brother. When I need a reminder for what integrity means or looks like, I talk to Ron. An upstanding citizen and the hardest working guy I know, he's also a talented athlete that can still keep a sub-5 mile (unfortunately obliterating the threat of my knuckle crunchies). There's no other guy I'd want at my side on May 18th.
Bridesmaid
Erin and I have been best friends since walking the elementary school halls. We spent countless hours making crafts, choreographing A*teens dance routines, harassing our little brothers, and playing volleyball. I feel so lucky to have such an sweet lifelong friend like Erin. I got to stand by Erin's side on her wedding day and I'm so excited she's doing the same for me!
Groomsman
As a wide-eyed and bushy tailed freshman, I was concerned on that first late-summer morning of football camp. Would I make any friends? Were Red Knights good people? Were Red Knights good at football? By 7:30 that morning these were no longer questions and it was indeed a great day to be a Red Knight. Craig is the first guy I met at Benilde by a big handshake and grin and we've been close ever since. I look up to his charisma, discipline, leadership, and ability to tell a good story of which we have many from our yearly traversings through the mountains.
Bridesmaid
Ashton has also been my best friend since elementary school and has been my partner in crime since the beginning. She shares the same appreciation as me for 80’s rock and strange movies. I can always count on Ash to rock out to Bon Jovi with me and make sure we turn it up to 11 ;)
Groomsman
He might be big and intimidating but his heart is even bigger. As I watch Ashton grow up it is clear his curiosity, thoughtfulness, and relentless pursuit of greatness will take him far. Watch out for his corner-picking snap shot and even snappier retorts.
Bridesmaid
Hannah and I met at the hockey rink when our brothers were on the same team in 6th grade. We spent many weekends away at hockey tournaments and have been inseparable ever since. Hannah is one of the sweetest people you will ever meet, and I’m so happy to have her by my side on our wedding day!
Groomsman
Alex has always made me laugh since our many adventures at Grandma's house for Christmas or on Lake Okaboji for summer vacation. I've always looked up to his extensive understanding of the world and ability to explain it to the rest of us in witty anecdotes. I also would not have known how to use a computer without this guy and while often miles apart we stayed in touch with AIM and Counter-Strike, that is, until the next trip to our grandparent's.
Bridesmaid
Ally and I met when her brother Drew and I started dating in college. I have been able to watch Ally grow up throughout the years and have always admired her work ethic and heart she puts into everything she does. One of my favorite things about Ally is her contagious laugh (usually at something about Ashton Breyer). I am also so excited to gain another sister!
Groomsman
Vince and I met when Meg and I started dating in college. I have always looked up to how not only is Vince a hard-working, dedicated engineer, but maintains a unmatched style of kindness and friendship. I'm lucky to call such a good man my brother-in-law.
Bridesmaid
Abby and I met at our study abroad orientation at St. Ben's. Rooming together in Rome and Athens brought us to being Minneapolis roomies for 5 years after graduation. We couldn't kick the travel bug after roaming around Europe together, and we most recently conquered hiking to Machu Picchu! Also important to note: Abby is the only one who understands me when I tear up when I see a cute dog.
Groomsman
......................... AYO Z!!! Zack and I go back to the early days at Benilde. He's always helped put things in perspective for me, whether in Theology class, Football camp, or after school at Lifetime for a Lift Sesh. While we moved away we've stayed tight finding time each year for concerts in Madison, sleep overs in Chicago, and of course treking through the woods. I owe my affinity for pistol squats and handstands to one man and that man is Z.
Bridesmaid
Eilise and I met right before we were off to St. Ben's. Little did we know we would become best friends and be roommates for all 4 years of college! Eilise is one of the most positive people I know, and I like to think of her as my life cheerleader. I couldn't say "I do" without her by my side! I also can’t wait to recreate the Sal’s dance floor at the wedding :)
Attendant
Emma and met at our lockers in 7th grade and became locker and homeroom buddies for the next 6 years at BSM. We were often mistaken for each other in high school and still are correcting people to this day! Em is one of the sweetest people I know and I’m so thankful BSM brought us together.
Attendant
Laura and I have been friends since our Benilde days, but grew closer after high school. Laura is always making me laugh and is such a loyal friend. I highly suggest asking Laura for her rendition of Nzamuranza at the wedding.
Attendant
Sydney and I have also been friends since Benilde brought us together. Syd has always been there for me and I’m thankful we’ve stayed close throughout the years! Good luck pulling Syd off the dance floor at the wedding!
Usher
Tim and I have been friends since football at Benilde. I always looked forward to trips to Mad Town and Chicago finding a cool spot to chill and debate about bitcoin. Now that Tim lives in Denver I always look forward to coming that way. There's no other guy in the world that could have motivated me like Tim did on Texas Pass.
Usher
Benny and I met at Benilde where he introduced me to the sport of Rugby. I always look forward to our adventures in Colorado or Montana where I can hear stories about the latest Elk that Ben packed out of the woods and about the his latest Crossfit competition podium finish.
