Jacqueline & Mitchell
Wedding Party
Emily Madery
Co-Maid of Honor
Emily is Jacqueline’s older sister (& yes… if you ask her, she will tell you that she’s the older one). They have been best friends since Jacqueline was born. Even though they have their sisterly fights, they can always compromise with a Disney movie or baking a new dessert that Emily wants to try. Some of Jacqueline’s favorite memories with Emily are watching Little House on the Prairie, Wilderness and Disney trips, and spending time at their Minnie and Papa’s cottage!
Marissa Pease
Co-Maid of Honor
Marissa and Jacqueline have been best friends since they were in preschool! They played soccer together, had many sleepovers, and even went to college only 45 minutes away from each other. They are more like sisters than best friends. Even though Marissa lives in Indiana now, she and Jacqueline can reconnect and pick up right where they left off from their last coffee, lunch, or margarita date. Some of Jacqueline’s favorite memories with Marissa are soccer tournaments for the Thunderdawgs, making “potions” with anything they found under the bathroom sink, Marissa’s “Tips for College” list, and making up stories or projects so they could get out of doing homework in elementary school!
Sarah Stewart
Bridesmaid
Yes Trine people, Sarah and Jacq went to high school together! They grew closer during their years in college and thereafter. Jacq and Sarah went to play soccer at Trine, but ended up spending a lot of their time visiting the athletic trainer’s office for rehab. Sarah was also the one who introduced Jacq and Mitch to each other, so make sure you tell her thank you for making this big day happen ;) Some of Jacq’s favorite memories with Sarah are summers at the Orr’s cottage in Dowagiac, the lax house/the Venue escapades, the train ride to Chicago, “Hotel Room Service”, and gushing over Sarah’s sweetie good boy golden, Wilson!
Anna Douglass
Bridesmaid
Anna and Jacqueline became friends through college soccer! Even though Jacqueline wasn’t the best soccer big, Anna and Jacq stayed close friends throughout college and after graduation. Some of Jacqueline’s favorite memories with Anna are their sideline talks during TUWS soccer games, slip n flip at Kappa Sig, her “first” bachelorette party, and her wedding!
Brittany Alwine
Bridesmaid
Brittany and Jacqueline met through their friend Anna! Brittany is also Jacqueline’s little and ΚΣΑ sister. The pair really bonded over their love for Tito’s and orange juice, because who doesn’t love a good screwdriver? Some of Jacqueline’s favorite memories with Brittany are their big/little reveal, surprising Brittany at her initiation into ΚΣΑ, Anna’s “second” bachelorette party, Peanuts in New Smyrna Beach (shoutout cook Steve), and busting out the worst (or best) dance moves at Anna’s wedding!
Brenna Ackley
Bridesmaid
Brenna and Jacqueline are cousins! Brenna was Jacqueline’s “shadow” (as their family would call it). Growing up, Jacqueline and Brenna realized that they liked a lot of the same things. For example, they had the same bicycle, the same t-shirt from Acadia National Park, and loved soccer. Some of Jacqueline’s favorite memories with Brenna are their trips to Wilderness State Park every year, making movies/music videos, Disney 2022, and playing Nancy Drew games!
Jenna Haley-Putzke
Bridesmaid
Jenna and Jacqueline are ALSO cousins! They met when they were in elementary school, found out they were the same age, and the rest is history. Some of Jacqueline’s favorite memories with Jenna are back to school shopping at Tanger Outlets, going to Minnie and Papa’s house, camping at Aloha State Park, and meeting her little girl, Alora, for the first time!
