Meet the Wedding Party
Dezerae McDuffy
Maid of Honor
Dezerae and I met my Sophomore year of High School and to be honest she scared the shit out of me when I first met her. I never in a million years thought that she would be my very best friend, soul mate, and twin flame but since that day we have been inseparable. Even when living miles apart she never fails to show up rain, sleet, or shine, she's there. She has blessed me with amazing friendship, loyalty, unwavered support in anything I do, 3 beautiful god daughters who give me purpose, and so much more. I couldn't imagine this life without her in it and I definitely wouldn't be able to get married without her by my side! Thank you for being my very bestfriend Dezerae and thank you for being my maid of honor. The maid of honor roll has never changed, it has always been yours!
Kristin Frederick
Bridesmaid
Where do I even start with this one. . . If any of you know Kristin and I you know that she's my GIRL! It's literally what we call each other lol. Kristin and I were always very close in high school despite family trying to keep us apart. Life got crazy and we lost touch for a few years, but could always pick back up as best cousins and act like time hadn't even passed. In the most recent year we have been closer than ever and I not only get to enjoy WAY MORE time with her, but her wife Abby as well (who I absolutely adore, good job GIRL!) Kristin has always meant so much to me and she is one of the very few people who can truly bring out my belly laugh. There is never a dull moment and the phrase god made us cousins because my mom couldn't handle us as sisters is such a true statement. Originally Bobby and I only had 7 family and friends standing, but I couldn't bare to not have her stand by my side for this day.
Abby Frederick
Bridesmaid
Where do I start?! I love this lady! Abby is my cousin Kristin's wife and man did she do well with this one! Abby and I are similar in so many ways. She is creative beyond measure and loves all the animals! Kristin, Abby and I are like 3 peas in a pod. So naturally when we get together we tend to laugh until we cry. Abby is not only standing for our special day, but helping me plan the whole thing! I can not stress enough how much Abby and Kristin have done for us! We are so grateful for Kristin bringing Abby into our lives and so excited that they can both share this day with us!
Jen Brendemuehl
Bridesmaid
I obviously met Jen through Bobby! Jen is Bobby's sister, and a wonderful one at that! Jen has welcomed me with open arms since the day I met her. From our several Nashville trips, to hanging at the Lakehouse's, to everything in between I have come to really appreciate Jen and the example she shows as a wife and mother. She is the sister I never had and I am so grateful to have her to look up to and to have her standing by my side on our special day.
Halley Smith
Bridesmaid
I met Halley through Bobby and his Brother Joe! Halley welcomed me with open arms when Bobby and I first visited Colorado. She is one of the most gentle, kind, and loving souls I have ever met. We have been able to share some amazing memories together so far including snow shoeing, camping, and even moose sighting. I'm so excited to create many more memories with her in the years to come.
Emma McKeown
Bridesmaid
I never thought Emma and I would be as close as we are today. I ended up giving Emma a stray cat I found in the middle of the highway and the rest is history! She is one of the most genuine and caring people I have ever met and I'm so happy we've became so close over the years. I'm so glad she is able to share this special day with me!
Andrea Gollwitzer
Bridesmaid
Ahhhh my Andrea Jean! Andi and I met when I started working at her families restaurant in High School. We share so many unbelievable memories together over the years. Even living miles apart we are able to pick up right where we left off. I couldn't imagine my wedding day without her being apart of it. She is my only friend that never says no to spontaneous adventure and it is one of the things I love most about her!
Stacie Schiesel
Bridesmaid
Stacie! Believe it or not, but Stacie and I are actually blood relatives! We would see each other in vacation bible school during the summers when we were young, but didn't actually get close until I started dating Bobby. Stacie and Jason knew Bobby well and overtime we all became the best of friends. I am so grateful to have Stacie in my life. She is my travel buddy, adventure buddy, camping buddy, and the only girl who can sit in the lake with me all day and swim with no complaints. I love how much we have in common especially the love for the outdoors. I'm so excited to have her stand by my side for this special day. Did I mention that she is the mother to my nephew Gilbert?! One of the dachshunds I bred? Which just makes our friendship that much more amazing!
Luke Priddy
Best Man
Anyone that knows Luke, knows that no matter what he is doing in life, he has a damn good time doing it. What most people also know, is that he is one of the most kind, giving, and generous human beings on this planet. He will protect and provide for his family, if it is the last thing he does. Luke has always gone above and beyond for me, especially in the last 5 years when it comes to helping Hanny and I. When it came to DIY projects at our first home he was the first one there willing to help without being asked., and we never stopped until the project was done. It might have taken a couple cases of PBR, but we always got it done. In all seriousness, I couldn't thank him enough for being there as my best man.
James Miller
Groomsman
My brother James and I have a close dynamic of a friendship. Being that we are the closest in age between all of my siblings, we definitely have the most memories together growing up. James is an amazing brother in the sense that he does a really good job of adding exciting things to keep us entertained with family and friends. Whether it's inviting me to a Brewers or Bucks game or getting me out in the winter to go snowboarding and/ or plan trips. He's always including me on some really fun things to separate from the daily work/ home life. He took me to Road America this past year to watch motorcycle racing and it was one of the most fun times I've had just hanging out, the two of us.
Brian Ernster
Groomsman
Going back to the years of grade school and high school, I don't think I could have had a better friend to grow up with. When it came to similar interests, morals, and sports we were able to relate to life very easily. The stories of "the good ole days" go on and on. From Thanksgiving tackle football games, to riding our bikes around Glendale, Fox Point, and Bayside to "meet up with the girls", we really lived our best life together. I also can't thank him enough for giving me such a memorable life growing up.
Joey Priddy
Groomsman
Joey is like the little (big) brother I never had. Being that I am the youngest in my family, I think he and I can definitely relate. Early on when Hanny and I were dating, I would come over and spend a bunch of time with not only Joey and luke, but Hanny as well. All four of us romped around fox point and made fun out of every situation. One day comes to mind when Joey and I went to a local hotel which had outdoor basketball courts. Since the hoops were lower then regulation, we re-created famous dunks and truly played around as kids, even though we were both grown adults. Joey makes life fun and refreshing. I am so happy I get to add Joey to my long list of brothers!
Joseph Miller
Groomsman
Joe is my oldest Brother. He gave me an opportunity to see the world outside of good old Wisconsin soil. I lived in Colorado for a couple of years while I attended community college. During that part of my life, it was all so new to me living away from my family and friends, but he made me feel so at home being thousands of miles away. Since those years I have obviously moved back to Wisconsin and now Hanny and I have gotten to travel out to Colorado to experience the mountains, rivers, and beautiful landscape of Fort Collins and surrounding cities. From yurt camping and hiking, to adventuring through the college town of CSU, he has brought much laughter and happiness which I now get to share with not only he and Halley, but with Hannah as well.
Jared Miller
Groomsman
My brother Jared has one of the kindest souls I think of any human being I know. When it comes to being there for me or Hanny, he literally would do anything we would ask with a smile on his face and exceed our expectations. Jared and I have had a lot of fun adventures together, whether it be our childhood growing up and going to the Milwaukee river to wade in the water fishing, or later in life when He and I went to concerts together. We have had many amazing memories together and so many more to come with how much he helps us at our new farm! Talk about one of the hardest working guys I know, he crushes home and yard projects with the best of them and I am so thankful I have him as one of my loving brothers.
Kristian Plumeri
Groomsman
Not everyone may know when or how Kris came into my life but it is actually a really cool story which I am forever thankful for. One Friday night about 7-8 years ago I was at my weekly bowling league. I happen to be bowling in a league which I did not know a lot of people. Turns out Kris happened to be one of those people. We didn’t really introduce ourselves to each other, rather he approached me after I bowled a frame and said “man if I only had your talent with my brains”. I chuckled and nodded my head in agreement. After we talked for a bit that night, it turned into a weekly meet up at bowling and we quickly got to know each other. Kris and I both share a strong love for the game of baseball and the Milwaukee Brewers. We soon enough began to hang out and collaborate our thoughts and strong beliefs on how baseball should be played/managed specifically relating to the Brewers organization. Not only that, but we have gone on golfing trips together and played roughly thousands of games of cribbage together. Between baseball, golf, pool, darts, cribbage, and bowling, we share a lot of the same interests in life and I am forever extremely grateful that he is in my life as one of my best friends and now apart of our big wedding day!
Royal Ferguson
Flower Girl
My baby girl Royal. The first person to really ever steal my heart. Royal is my very first god daughter and she is so special to me and now Bobby as well. She is the brightest, most creative soul and loves animals. You'd think she came from me! I'm so excited to watch her cute self walk down the aisle on our special day.
Sam Brendemuehl
Flower Girl
Sam is our Niece and when I tell you this young woman is one of our favorite people, we mean it! Sam has a heart of pure gold. We also share a love for clothes so I love shopping for her on special occasions. I don't have any nieces of my own, so when I knew Sam would be one of the first ones I was overjoyed. We are so happy she is willing to take part in our special day as the main flower girl. We love you Sam!
Bobby Brendemuehl
Ring Bearer
Bobb-O! Bobby is our Nephew and an entertaining one at that! Bobby brings life and personality into every room he enters. We love traveling to Nashville and getting to watch him at his sporting events! Watching him grow up into an awesome young man has been so much fun and we can't wait to have him as our ring bearer with Ernie!
ERNIE
Ring Bearer
If you know us, you know that Ernie is our absolute world! Not much more needs to be said! We love you Ern!
Kai Rune
Groomsman
If you are close with our family you know that Kai is one of us. Poor guy is now one of our brothers now whether he likes it or not haha. Kai is entertaining to say the least and keeps me on my toes. Kai also has one of the most kind and loving hearts. He would do anything for our family no questions asked. We are very grateful to have him be apart of our day and our family!
Ryan Nowakowski
Usher
Nick Holland
Usher
Nick came into my life a few years ago when he started dating Payton! Nick is by far one of the sweetest people I have ever met, but also doesn't take any shit. So definitely my kind of person! Nick has helped us so much already around the farm along with Payton even though they live over an hour away. We're so happy to have him with us on our big day!
Payton Hanrahan
Wedding Supervisor
Thisssss betch! Oh Payton where do I start?! Payton and I met in Highschool. I absolutely suck at math so I was in her class :/ at first Payton was scared to be my friend because I "looked like a bitch" but after she found out I didn't bite we became the best of friends. Payton isn't just my friend anymore, she's apart of our family. We have unbelievable memories together and always have so much fun together. I couldn't see our special day without her involved in it so I made her "Head Hancho" she will help keep all of these Hooligans in line on our special day and make sure we remain on schedule. Bless her heart because lord knows this is a hard job!
