Molly & Nick
Wedding Party
Megan Bertelsen
Matron of Honor
Megan is my older sister and is two years older than me. Growing up, we did a lot of the same activities together. From playing sports together, to our dad teaching us how to weight lift and working odd jobs together, we've always kinda been attached at the hip. We were one of the few sisters to make it to the State high school track and field meet in the same sport of discus. They wrote an article about it in the Waukesha Freeman. Funny thing is, I hated discus and it was a total shock that I had made a good enough throw to make it to State. Even though she lives in another state, I get tons of pictures and videos via Snapchat or text message of my adorable niece and nephew. They grow up so fast! We've shared a unique bond growing up and she is someone I continue to and always look up to. She lives in Iowa with her husband Eric and their two children, Mila and Aiden.
Andrea "Andi" Jacunski
Bridesmaid
Andi has been my best "fran" since freshman year of high school. The funny story we always tell people is that we both hated each other because we played basketball on rival teams in middle school. Well, that all changed when Andi showed up late to a basketball summer camp we were both in, and I asked her why she was an hour late. She replied, "I slept in." From then on, we were always together. Andi and her mom took me on my first cruise, and it was one of the most fun vacations I had been on! It was actually my first time traveling internationally. She has gotten so many points from cruises that she actually earned a free one! Andi and her husband AJ were my "squad" before I met Nick. I was the third wheel with them when we went brewery hopping or out to eat. I'm so blessed that they enjoyed my company enough to always have me around. Andi's family has become my family and I'm so thankful for them. Andi lives in Waukesha, WI with her husband AJ and their dog Tendy.
Caitlin LePak
Bridesmaid
Caitlin and I have known each other for most of our lives, and we met by playing on the same select basketball team in elementary school. We spent many weekends in a gym shooting hoops and eating junk concession food. Later in life, Caitlin introduced me to the wondrous craft beer world. We've done many brewery tours and drank plenty of tasty beers over that past decade. Every 4th of July, Caitlin has a party at her house and we all have fun dressing up in our best patriotic clothes, drink beer, and see who's the worst at beer pong. If you need recommendations on great beer to drink or breweries to go to, this is your gal! Caitlin lives in Wauwatosa, WI with her husband TJ and their daughter Eloise.
Jordan Glenna
Best Man
Jordan and I met back in first grade and our major bonding moment was when we had to reenact the British rule over the American Colonies. We were stuck being the Americans and we had to pay higher taxes to go to recess or even to go to the bathroom! We watched as our other British classmates didn't need to pay nearly as much as we did, so we started to come up with a plan to kill the British! Surely enough, the educational role-play ended after a few weeks and no one in our class was harmed. From there, we would become great friends hanging out whenever possible after school simply surprising our parents by showing up off the bus or in the parent pick up line. Whether we played N64, kicked soccer balls in the road, or destroyed our scooter rear wheels speeding down hills and burning out the breaks, we were always getting into mischief. As we got older, our fun changed and we would often lift together before work, watch football at each others homes, or even go to Lambeau and watch the Packer's play. I'm very blessed to have known Jordan most of my life. He now lives in Eau Claire with his wife Kali.
Derick Glaudel
Groomsman
Derick and I met back when I was 19 and working at Culvers. Our bond may have not started in other people's ideal way, but we certainly had a ton of fun partying together and running the beer pong table every time we played. As we got older, we would hang out on the weekends going floating, playing catch with a football, playing Xbox together, or going to the gym. We've remained great friends through thick and thin and whether separated by distance or pride, we've always come back together. I count myself very lucky to have Derick as my friend. He recently moved back to Eau Claire which we're both quite excited about!
Josh Hedrington
Groomsman
Josh is my younger brother, and we grew up playing X-men on PlayStation. When we got older, we played Zelda and Diddy Kong Racing on N64. We have spent many hours replaying N64 as adults and reminiscing of the good ol' days when video games were ground breaking and life shaping! Watching horror movies is another fun thing that we often do together. Staring back in 2020 when Molly and I bought our home in Hallie, Josh started coming over for assistance with various tasks. From tail lights to broken mirrors or taxes and credit scores, he would come over and end up staying for dinner. This morphed its way into sibs dinner where we get together weekly and have supper, talk about work and life, and watch a movie together. Josh lives in Eau Claire and I am lucky to have him as my brother.
