    Wedding Party

Wedding Party

Meet our family and friends who will be standing by our side on our big day! Please note: Sam's sister-in-law Becca would be in our wedding party if she weren't giving birth to our newest niece just a few days before our wedding. We can't wait to meet little miss Voss!

Noah Voss

Best Man

Brother and best friend of 32+ years. Noah speaks in movie quotes. Graduated from Marquette High School but don't hold that against him. Unofficial drunk, late night eating champion. If Wisconsin sports teams (Packers, Brewers, Marquette basketball, Bucks) cared half as much as Noah does about winning, we would have a lot more championships. If you run into Noah at the bar, order him an ice cold Coors Light. If you really want to get him going, say, "Khris Middleton could beat Markus Howard in a 3-point shooting contest." -Sam


Erin Ward

Matron of Honor

I have known Erin for nearly 31 years! She is my big sister and the mom of 4 of my favorite little people. She is the ultimate soccer & dance mom! She is the most devoted Young and the Restless fan you'll ever meet and she's also a Milwaukee Wave soccer super fan! She has a special talent of annoying me by telling me the song that's stuck in her head and then getting it stuck in my head! In all seriousness, I know she will be a proud sister watching me marry the love of my life. Erin and I used to play dress up when we were little and I'm happy she'll be with me to play dress up on my big day! -Meg

Rob Korslin

Groomsman

Best friend since high school. Member of Brookfield's finest. Rob played football for Wisconsin where he changed his jersey number 4 times during his 4 years there. He was also a guitarist for the band Flammable, but his career was cut short after he received a B on his report card. One summer our canoe tipped over on the Flambeau River, spilling our empty cans, and we were ticketed for littering. We tried disputing the ticket with the DNR officer but in the end were told to "tell it to the judge." If you see Rob at the bar, order him a Kettle water and ask him about his famous lead block on a fake punt at Iowa that won an ESPY. -Sam


Annie Paprocki

Maid of Honor

As I often say, Annie is my oldest friend! She's not my oldest friend by age, but by the number of years we have been friends. I met Annie when I was just 5 months old and we've been friends ever since. Annie is the kindest person I know and I'm very lucky to have her in my life! She is my forever friend. -Meg

Danny Kersey

Groomsman

Best friend since high school. Member of Brookfield's finest. Has the sickest collection of full-sized NFL helmets you will ever see. Danny was at my first ever sleepover in 1st grade but must not have liked the sleeping accommodations because he got picked up at 9PM. He was the most dominant Jr. Lancer basketball player of all-time, averaging 30 points per game on layups and mid-range jumpers. I call him “The Closer” because he's always closing deals. If you see Danny at the bar, order him a Tito's soda and ask him about corporate law and why he doesn't invite me to golf at Westmoor more often. -Sam


Kristy Schuster

Bridesmaid

Kristy is the brownie to my blondie! We have far too many stories and inside jokes, but I wouldn't have it any other way! She's the kind of friend who will always help you when you're in need. She may even brush your hair in the morning when you've had one too many drinks the night before and have no energy to brush your own hair! -Meg

Jake Murphy

Groomsman

Best friend since high school. Member of Brookfield's finest. Did you know Jake was runner-up for hottest senior for Brookfield Central’s class of '07? I personally benefited on the basketball court because of Jake's fear of shooting and willingness to pass me the ball to hit 3 pointers. Spent many weekends hydrating at the infamous Mifflin house in Madison. If you find Jake at the bar, order him a Tito's soda and ask him about corporate accounting. -Sam


Allie Hesebeck

Bridesmaid

Oh Allie Cat! Allie is the life of the party and always up for a good time! She is a dedicated shopper and has the best style. She's a ride or die type of friend and one of the funniest people I know. She's fiercely loyal and has such a kind heart. She's my sista from another mista and I'm so thankful I met her her 6 years ago! Be sure to check out her sick dance moves on the big day! -Meg

Ryan Huenink

Groomsman

Best friend since high school. Member of Brookfield's finest. Summer before high school, we spent every day for 3 straight weeks together, biking around the neighborhood and hitting on chicks at Foxbrook Park. Roomed with Ryan freshman year at La-Crosse where we almost got kicked out of the dorms before Christmas break for playing too much beer pong. Pulled the biggest power move of all time by making his brother-in-law and future first ballot NFL Hall of Famer, Joe Thomas an usher at his wedding. If you see Ryan at the bar, order him the heaviest beer there is and ask him about Iron Man competitions. -Sam


Samantha Egmose

Bridesmaid

Samantha is my wine-drinkin' pedicure-lovin' bestie! She's also the best girl mom! She cares deeply about everyone in her life. Samantha once gifted me a little sign that perfectly sums up our friendship. It says, "You drink too much. You gossip too much. You have questionable morals. You're everything I ever wanted in a friend!" She is the white (wine) to my red (wine) and I'm so thankful Progressive brought us together! -Meg

Rich Ruthenberg IV

Groomsman

Friend since college. Fellow late night specialist. Sunday Funday legend. Lived with Rich for 3 years in Milwaukee and won back-to-back-to-back Loaded Slate dart league championships before we both retired to focus our attention on finding wives. Golfing with Rich always makes me feel better about my game. If you find Rich at the bar, order him a Jack & Coke on the rocks and ask him about his middle name. -Sam


Alex Nafranowicz

Bridesman

How do I even begin to describe what a fantastic person Alex is? Alex is the type of person you'll strike up a conversation with and almost immediately feel like you've known him for years. This is probably why we instantly clicked. Sadly, Alex no longer lives in WI so I don't get to see him very often, but I can confirm distance does make the heart grow fonder! "Good friend are like stars. You can't always see them, but you know they're always there." Alex is also a certified sommelier, so be sure to pick his brain on his extensive wine knowledge! -Meg

Cam Ward

Jr. Groomsman

Cam is the smartest soon-to-be 12-year-old you'll ever meet! He could be on that show, "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?" and prove he probably is smarter than most adults! Cam made me an auntie many years ago and will forever be my little peanut. He was the first one to start calling me "M" and although he can be a little wise guy, I love him very much. I once bumped his head on my car door while putting him into his carseat when he was younger. I immediately told him I was sorry and he said, "It's ok, M. You're still my peanut." He will be the most handsome junior groomsman! -Meg


Claire Ward

Jr. Bridesmaid

Oh Claire...my little beauty queen of a niece! Claire is so kind and beautiful on the inside and out! She is sassy and sweet! She's a wonderful dancer and the ultimate girly-girl! Claire is as cute as can be. Can you tell I love her very much? I'm so excited to have her as my junior bridesmaid! She makes me such a proud aunt and I'm so lucky to call her my niece. -Meg

Luke Ward

Ring Bearer

Little Lukey! Luke is our Godson and will be the most adorable ring bearer. He's bound to steal the show! This little guy is constantly on the move and as Sam says, he's got a great "two step" dance move! In fact, it's his only dance move! He may need some help getting the rings to the right place, but we can't wait to see him strut his stuff down the aisle! -Meg


Katie Ward

Flower Girl

Katie is the funniest kid you'll ever meet! She has the best personality! She sleeps in the goofiest positions and does the funniest things! She is a fantastic dancer like her big sister Claire. Katie could totally be an actress or back up dancer when she grows up! She makes me feel so loved. She and Claire always insist on sitting next to me at any and every meal. Katie has a special way of making my heart feel so full and happy. I love her so much! -Meg

Brady Czyscon

Usher

Friend since the dorms at University of Wisconsin - La Crosse. He has come a long way since his "black-out Brady" days. Member of Chewbacca Delight, the most talented and underachieving intramural basketball team in La Crosse history. 2020 Ice Golf Champions. Brady is a physical therapist so if you find him at the bar, order him a Coors Light and ask him for a quick adjustment. -Sam


Rob Doran

Usher

Friend since the dorms at University of Wisconsin - La Crosse. We both went to La Crosse to play baseball but ended up majoring in partying. He is a Vikings fan but managed to get him to wear a Packers jacket out to celebrate the Super Bowl win in 2011. Fellow late night specialist and power hour legend. If you see Rob at the bar, order him a Tito's soda and ask him how baseball practice went the Saturday of Oktoberfest freshman year. -Sam

Cody Wooldridge

Usher

Friend since the dorms at University of Wisconsin - La Crosse. Forever grateful for Cody introducing me to a site called "Rate my professor" in college. If you know you know. He is the loudest and most competitive person I have ever met. Once got yelled at for blocking a girl in coed intramural basketball and said, “Don’t join coed sports if you can't take the heat." Shot a 21-point buck in 2009. If you find Cody at the bar, order him a whiskey Coke and ask him how he feels about the Minnesota Vikings. -Sam


Sean Potter

Usher

Sean is such a cool guy! He's my bridesman Alex's better half! (Jk Alex!) He is obsessed with Britney Spears and (more importantly) obsessed with Alex! I couldn't pick a better guy for my best friend Alex and I'm so happy Alex and Sean will be tying the knot in August 2023! You may be wondering if Sean Potter is related to Harry... Unfortunately he is not, but he is related to the cutest Yellow Lab, Gus! Alright, alright, he's not blood related to Gus, but he is Gus' dog dad and a pretty darn good one! Sean is so easy going and so kind. Did I mention he's quite a looker too? ;) -Meg

Bruce Benz

Officiant

Bruce is Sam's Godfather and so special to us. We are absolutely honored he will be marrying the two of us. If we are lucky enough to have a marriage like Bruce and his late wife Cathy, we will be pretty darn lucky! Bruce instantly welcomed me into the family when I met him at his surprise birthday party in February 2020. Don't tell my dad this, but he's probably the funniest guy I know. We love Bruce so much and are so happy he's traveling all the way from Las Vegas to do us the honor of officiating our wedding! -Meg
