wedding party

Cheyenna Geisel

Maid of Honor

I am Krista’s aunt, target, hobby lobby, coffee date, and Ellie’s fairy godmother. But most importantly the best friend that she will never be able to shake. I’m the yin to her yang.

Christian Nygren

Best Man

Brother of the groom. Met Paul at the hospital when he was born.

Alexis Tate

Bridesmaid

I met Krista online through the IUSB classified page looking for a roommate. We became friends while I was "interviewing" her as a potential roommate. Right then and there we became double trouble. Ι Φ was born (our fraternity) lmao. I will always remember her telling me how Zeus (my giant schnauzer) would go into her room while she was sleeping and lick the bottom of her foot.

Dalton Dabkowski

Groomsman

Was best friends with Paul’s ex-girlfriend. Paul grew on him and they became brothers.

Hilary Juarez

Bridesmaid

Krista and I have been really close since high school. We have grown together throughout each phase in our lives but my favorite by far has been being mothers together. Having a mom friend is something I have always wished for. Someone that loves my kids and also understands how hard being a mom can be. I know I can always rely on her for anything. It also helps that my husband is in love with Paul… My name is Hilary. I am a kindergarten teacher and mom of two. I also have an undying love for hacienda chips and salsa and I am not ashamed to admit it.

Chris Baczynski

Groomsman

Met Paul in their Fraternity in college.

Catherine Conlin

Bridesmaid

I met Krista at IUSB. She went from being my sorority sister to my partner in crime, roommate, co-worker, and ultimately one of my best friends. From spontaneous trips to Chicago, the beach, and concerts to countless late nights of playing Mario Kart and watching movies in Paul, Chris, and John's apartment, everything we do is an adventure. I'm so grateful to be a part of their big day.

John Baczynski

Groomsman

Aspiring Orthopedic Trauma Surgeon. Officially met Paul for the first time at the Annex when I was moving Chris (my brother) from another apartment complex into the Annex with Paul.

Hale Crumley

Bridesmaid

Krista and I met shortly after I was born seeing as she’s my big sister. We grew up together playing Barbies, watching Disney Channel, and listening to U93. To this day she’s one of the only people I will willingly dance and sing around. I am only able to come home a few times a year, so we call about once a week.

Luis Juarez

Groomsman

Paul's "spicy quesadilla". When asked about how he met Paul his response was: "it wasn't love at first sight, so I had to walk by again".

Ethan Bely

Usher

I'm Krista's oldest younger brother. I love my family. My niece and nephew are my everything. I'm an animal lover. I plan to go to school to become a vet tech.
