Wedding Party
Noah Rimatzki
Best Man
My name is Noah, I'm Josh's little [big] brother. I've had the privilege to watch Josh grow up and tackle his goals throughout life, taking plenty of notes along the way. I'm honored to be his best man and couldn't be happier for Josh and Sierra!

“I’m Sierra’s younger sister we are three years apart. We are both nurses, she works with adults, I am a pediatric RN who works both bedside and outpatient. In addition to sharing a career, we both love to travel. I have done solo traveling to Korea in the past, and last year was able to share my experience with Sierra. We have had our separate trips- but Sierra has spearheaded arranging sister trips, hiking trips, and Paul-Rimatzki group trips. Sierra and Josh have brought our families together long before we knew they’d end up married. I remain impressed with Josh for putting up with Sierra’s skip-bo, scrabble cheating ass. Congrats bros”

Tyler and Josh first met in 7th grade when Josh saw Tyler in the hallway while everyone else was in class and Josh said “Hey, I’m Josh, let’s be friends.”
Emily Kraus
Matron of Honor
“Emily lives in Otsego, Michigan, with her husband Kevin. She and Kevin are the proud (and slightly sleep‑deprived) parents of baby Elliott, who at eight months old already runs the household with impressive authority. She met Sierra on the high school swim team, where they bonded over early‑morning practices, prank calls (very sorry to our victims), heart to heart walks, and the kind of team bonding that forges lifelong friendships. They’ve been close friends ever since. When she’s not on the clock as an an engineer, you can usually find her tending to her ever‑growing plant collection, taking an aggressive number of baby photos, or diving into a new home project that Kevin may or may not have agreed to. She’s thrilled to celebrate Sierra in this next chapter!”

“Sierra and I first met in clinical during nursing school at Madonna University. It took one conversation for us to instantly hit it off, and we have been inseparable ever since. From being roommates, gym buddies, all of our heart to hearts, and flying on a corn tortilla to all corners of the earth; Sierra is a sister to me. I have been by her side throughout her relationship with Josh and have seen their love truly blossom. I am so happy that my very best friend has someone as wonderful as Josh as her forever person. I am so blessed and honored to be able to stand by her side on her special day!”

One of my earliest memories with Josh is helping him to fix an old bicycle that he bought for $5. A few turns of a wrench turned into a friendship filled with all of the adventures, treasure hunts, escapades, and side-quests that I could ever wish for. I am both honored and excited to be a part of this special day celebrating the love of two extraordinary people!

“I met Sierra 9 years ago on a study abroad trip to the Galápagos Islands with Madonna university. I remember speaking to for Sierra for the first time at the Detroit airport!! Little did I know, she would become one of the most loved, cherished, and trusted people in my life. Sierra has the presence of an angel, her charm and caring attitude towards everyone is one of the most noble things about her. She is someone I can pour my heart and soul to without judgement, and feel fully supported. I know I can always lean on her when times are tough. I look up to her in many ways. I’m so blessed that my fiance Dani and I have become so close with Josh and Sierra over the years, the laughs and fun memories are never ending. Cheers to Sierra and Josh on their wedding day!”
Evan Fisher
Groomsman
CHICAGO — Known to local authorities as a culinary enthusiast and to international border agents as a frequent flyer, this Chicago-based corporate developer is currently making headlines as a key member of the wedding party. The subject's association with the groom dates back to their tenure as "Evans Scholars" at the University of Michigan. Sources close to the pair confirm that they have embarked on a handful of expeditions together. While most were for "cultural research," one international excursion has been described as "unusually romantic," involving sunset views and rose petals that bordered on cinematic. Fast Facts: * Current Location: Chicago, IL * Special Interests: UFO sightings, space exploration, and high-end cocktails * Notable Incident: involving a police extraction from a famous musician's residence * Travel Style: Prefers destinations where the Wi-Fi is weak but the history is deep * The Verdict: If you see him at the bar, ask for a drink recommendation; if you see him near a diamond mine, ask for a cut

“I met Sierra 13 years ago when she randomly walked into Mr. Kussy’s class… a class she didn’t even have and somehow walked out with a best friend for life. From that moment on, we just clicked, and she’s been my person ever since. Sierra is truly one of the most amazing, genuine, kind-hearted humans I know; an actual angel on earth. Over the years, she’s been everything to me: my ride-or-die, my voice of reason, and my chaos twin all wrapped into one. When I got into a car accident and didn’t have a car, she picked me up every single morning until I got my car back to take me to school, turning those drives into the best part of my day with bagel and donut stops along the way. That’s just who Sierra is; someone who shows up endlessly for the people she loves. I’m now a proud mommy to the most amazing baby, and I always joke that I’m basically Josh’s twin, Sierra couldn’t marry me, so she found the next best thing. We both love the finer things in life, while Sierra stays effortlessly humble and content with the simple joys. Having been by her side through so many phases of life, it means the world to me to stand with her as she starts one of the biggest and most beautiful chapters yet.”

Howdy! My name is Zach Heller and I am honored to be joining Josh and Sierra for their incredibly special day. I’ve been enjoying shenanigans with Josh and Sierra since the ancient time of 2018, with too many great memories to count! I enjoy deep theological discussions with both, as well as watching great movies with them! I couldn’t be more excited to celebrate them at their wedding!

“I met Sierra back in 2020, but we didn’t truly become close until our travel assignment, late nights playing card games and her constantly losing at Skip-Bo turned into a friendship I’m endlessly thankful for. I’m so grateful to stand by her side as she promises forever to her best friend. Wishing them nothing but love and happiness for all the years to come.”
