Wedding Party
Alicia Bauman
Matron of Honor
Alicia is Abby's oldest sister! She lives in Grand Rapids with her husband Eric and their two children Olivia and Aiden as well as their dog Ranger. Alicia runs her own day care, writes for the local paper, and helps with the Wicklund Girl's Etsy page. Alicia and Abby grew up showing horses together and spent many hours outside in the summer. Even with living 2 hours apart they still find time to go to the lake, camp, and sometimes go fishing with the boys!
Anna Peterson
Matron of Honor
Anna is the middle "Wicklund Sister". Anna is married to Trevor and they are EXPECTING their first baby at the end of June. Anna and Abby lived together throughout college when Anna was in PT school and Abby was in OT school. Anna will never admit this but she probably misses their slumber parties where Abby would try to sleep by her in bed if their were bad storms or just to annoy Anna (she likes her space). They were even able to travel across country to an internship in Arizona for Anna with Abby knitting the entire way in the back!
Cassie Roberts
Bridesmaid
Cassie lives in Staples, MN with her husband Cade and their two daughters Rose and Charlie. Cassie and Abby met walking their dogs in Staples when they both moved there in the summer/fall of 2015. If it wasn't for Cassie "stalking" Abby they would never have become the good friends they are today. If Cassie and Abby aren't kicking each other's butts in cards, they find other adventures to do such as traveling to Vegas, shopping, hanging with the girls, golfing, and maybe having a few cocktails. Cassie and Mike also enjoy reciting moving lines that Abby will never be able to understand!.
Madison Trinka
Bridesmaid
Madison is Mike's youngest sister and Abby's future sister in law! Madison lives in Alexandria, MN with her fiancee Ethan. Madison has been apart of Mike and Abby's relationship from the very beginning, with Madison being the first family member Abby met while she was working at the Corral on St. Patty's Day! Madison and Abby were able to accomplish taking both dogs and children paddle boarding last summer. Madison has also become quite the new horse back rider with Abby's horses being on the farm!
Nick Trinka
Best Man
Nick is Mike's older brother and the best man. Nick lives in Hoffman, MN with his wife Kesha and their two boys Ryland and Mayson. Nick has definitionally been a role model for Mike over the years even though he almost killed him a few times. Throughout the snowmobile, ATV crashes, motorcycle trips and many more memory's they have not only been nothing short of brothers and best friends.
Derek Roers
Groomsman
Derek is one of Mike's oldest friends! Derek is married to Calley and have two boys Brecken and Grady. They recently relocated their roots to a beautiful farm setting where they can raise the boys in mud boots frogs in hand! After meeting it didn't take long to realize they both had a strong passion for hunting and fishing. They have many stories to share with the kids some day spending countless hours pitching jigs under docks, chasing walleye up at Lake of the Woods, digging goose blinds in the early morning or sitting over a spread of duck decoys just waiting for the opportunity to make that next great memory.
Joel Anderson
Groomsman
Joel is one of Mike's groomsman and lives in Alexandria, MN. Joel and Mike went to school together and have made many good memories fishing together over the years. You could say they nearly sunk a boat and they had to figure out how to get a boat back on its trailer in the middle of a parking lot. We will let Joel explain that one!
Ethan Deakins
Groomsman
Ethan and Mike have been friends since Madison and Ethan started dating. Ethan lives in Alexandria, MN with Madison and they have one fur child named Cash. Ethan and Mike enjoy fishing and riding motorcycle. Mike has even been kind enough to let Ethan hold a fish over the years so he knows what they look like.
Erica Panning
Personal Attendant
Erica lives in Rochester, MN with her husband Kyle (they got married last year)! Erica and Abby met right before OT school and have been partners in crime ever since! From spending time studying for tests in school, going out on the town, traveling, and having girls day there is never a dull moment in their friendship.
