Wedding Party
Erin Olsen
Bride
Just wants to throw an awesome party with her Groom in the name of love. Most likely to ruin her up-do dancing full out with her brand new hubby.
Rob Schmidt
Groom
Just a normal dude who was looking for love and hit the jackpot. Most likely to spill on his shirt.
Carly Olsen
Best Woman
"Maid of Honor" just doesn't cut it for this one. Sister. Confidant. Best Friend. Most likely to be the first one on the dance floor.
Jake Vasa
Best Man
Rob's Best Man is the best of the best men Rob met while in undergrad at UNL where they spent a semester as roommates in Delta Upsilon. Rob and Jake have traveled the U.S. together to see their favorite musicians, go to shows on Broadway, and to crush cold ones with the boys on the beach. Most likely to accidentally trip a child on the dance floor.
Will Olsen
Bridesman
The Olsen's wouldn't be complete without this guy--and the bride's crew wouldn't be either! Will always brings the party and the board games. Most likely to become best friends with the party bus driver AND the DJ.
Michael Shively
Groomsman
What is there to say about Michael Shively that hasn't already been said? Rob met this legend in undergrad and the bromance bloomed. They were roommates in Delta Upsilon, tailgated and went to nearly every Nebraska football game, and went on spring break trips together. Most likely to reference obscure Nebraska Athletics statistics.
Carter Reed
Bridesman
Carter is so important to both the Bride and Groom that he holds two titles in this party--Bridesman and Ceremony Officiant! No one knows both Rob and Erin better than him. Definitely most likely to fall asleep under a reception table before the end of the night.
Austin Schnell
Groomsman
There is no man more down to clown than Austin Schnell. Austin and Rob quickly became friends during undergrad and have continued their shenanigans well after receiving their diplomas. Whether it's fishing, shooting trap, or tearing up the lake on a jet ski, you can bet Austin is in the thick of it. Most likely to give free financial advice.
Deanna Hobbs
Bridesmaid
This fellow Capricorn and the Bride just get each other. From surviving law school together to surviving the Groom's bad jokes, Dee and the Bride are bonded for life. Most likely to cry at the ceremony and most likely to give the best hugs.
Trevor Culbertson
Groomsman
Ah, Trevor Culbertson - a man of many talents with a storied past. Trevor and Rob met in undergrad where they quickly became archrivals on the (virtual) pitch. Trevor and Rob finished first and second in every Delta Upsilon FIFA tournament that was held during their four years in undergrad, and Rob hates to admit it, but he's the GOAT. After undergrad Trevor and Rob were roommates for two years before Trevor moved to Ireland to pursue his Master's degree, but now he's back in the States and ready to show off his Irish jig. Most likely to make an Irish goodbye.
Brianna Duda
Bridesmaid
Bri was one of the first people the Bride met in law school. They immediately bonded over their passion for social justice and love of good vegan eats. Now a Seattle resident, Bri is traveling across the country to come be a part of the Bride's special day. That's just Brianna, as a person and friend. Most likely to seamlessly transition a political debate into a dance off at the reception.
Chris Heady
Groomsman
Chris has always been the cool, calm, and level-headed presence in Rob's equally cool, calm, and level-headed life. After all, their biggest disagreement was over where to put a desk in their room at Delta Upsilon. When they weren't busy arguing about frat house interior decoration, Rob and Chris were usually hanging out, sharing stories, and trying really hard not to laugh at each other's jokes. Chris married his lovely wife, Molly, after college, and the pair moved back to their exotic homeland of Kansas. They recently welcomed their daughter, Grace, into the world. Most likely to say Rob isn't funny while telling a dad joke.
Simon Vazquez
Usher
After traversing from the Lone Star State to the frozen north of Nebraska, Simon quickly became friends with both Rob and Erin during law school. The trio often spent their weekends terrorizing the Haymarket with the rest of their law school class and comforting each other through the misery of Nebraska Football fandom. Simon and his family even treated Rob to a weekend in his hometown of Houston to watch The University of Houston Cougars and the Houston Texans play real football. One of the teams won so it was better than what they were used to back in Nebraska. Most likely to say "hiyah, my dude" after seating you at the ceremony.
Keith Finn
Usher
Keith will always and forever be the coolest person Rob has ever met. When Rob entered undergrad with his goatee, purple cast on his broken wrist, and cargo shorts he was decidedly uncool. He's still uncool but he was really uncool then. Until he met Keith. Keith (AKA DJ Too Turnt) and Rob spent many nights traveling for concerts, vacations, and just hanging out with all their friends. If Rob was experiencing a new artist for the first time or going somewhere he had never been, Keith was likely a big reason why he made the trip. Most likely to press the DJ's reggae horn button.
