Tami & Mike
Wedding Party
Chase Stephens
Maid of Honor
Sister of the bride. Chase and Tami have an inseparable bond, along with an argumentative attitude that comes along with being sisters. They talk multiple times a day and are the closest of friends. Chase has a huge heart, and always wants the best for those she loves. She is honored and beyond excited to be standing by her big sister as she says "I do"!
Josh Gilanyi
Best Man
Josh is Mike's youngest brother, and they have known each other their whole lives. The two have a similar sense of humor, sometimes getting them into trouble. They both enjoy riding their motorcycles and going to any sporting event together.
Julie Bosman
Bridesmaid
Julie and Tami met at a Whiskey Tasting in Milwaukee in the spring of 2016. They ended up spending the rest of the day and evening together, exchanging numbers and having lunch the following week. They quickly discovered their mutual love for sports, but for absolutely opposing teams. Tami being a Chicago and Iowa fan, and Julie being a Michigan fan. They've now been to countless rival games together, but have still maintained their friendship through tough losses. True friendship brought together by whiskey, and fueled through rivalry sports.
Shawn Whalen
Groomsman
Whalen was one of the first people Mike hired to work in an auto shop he managed, over ten years ago. After a short while working together, they quickly found several mutual interests. They began riding and customizing motorcycles together, worked on cars outside of work, and started playing pond hockey together - fueled by boredom in the winter. The two keep up their mutual hobbies and now play on the same hockey team together at the Rec Plex in Kenosha.
Jen Stahl
Bridesmaid
Jen and Tami met while serving at Buffalo Wild Wings together when Tami first moved back to Illinois from Hawaii. Jen invited Tami to play on her sand volleyball league and they quickly became the closest of friends. Six years later, several trips around the US together, and the fun of countless Cubs games, the two remain near and dear to each other.
Ian Graham-Potter Denton
Groomsman
Mike and Ian met playing hockey at the Rec Plex in Kenosha, WI. They started hanging out outside of hockey, becoming regulars at places like Buffalo Wild Wings and Ron's Place. The two also lived together for a short while, and would work on home projects together. Ian now lives in Madison, but they are still able to play hockey together in Milwaukee.

Tony Stephens
