Wedding Party
Allie Schaitel
Maid of Honor
Allie is more than my best friend, she's my soul sister! In our 11 years of friendship, we've been there for each other through thick and thin and our friendship has never wavered. Even living in different cities doesn't keep us apart! Allie is kind and thoughtful, with a heart of gold and an artist's eye. I couldn't be happier to have her standing by my side on my wedding day.
Michael Charbonneau
Best Man
Charbonneau and I met at one of his dance music events that I luckily found on meetup.com when exploring Indianapolis for the first time. I quickly saw that he was a legit DJ and we became friends that very night. He welcomed me into what would become my first and best friend group during my time in Indianapolis. It didn’t take long for us to develop a deep bond. We grow together, learn together, and support each other. Charbonneau has taught me many great lessons and is largely responsible for my personal growth journey and spiritual awakening. You can expect a nice sermon from Charbonneau at the reception.
Amanda McManus
Bridesmaid
From college shenanigans to homeownership, Amanda has always been a loving and steadfast friend through all of my life's big moments. She's got a compassionate heart, a deep love of Harry Potter and she never shies away from hard work (ask her about her recent home remodeling projects!). I'm so grateful for her friendship and can't wait to have her by my side on the big day!
Nathan Perko
Groomsman
Though we are disparate in age and did not grow up together, my older brother Nate and I have always shared a strong connection. With a similar sense of humor, a love of Japanese language and culture, and a shared love of music, Nate and I have always been able to connect and support each other through life’s hurdles. He was my biggest influence in becoming an electronic music producer, as he shared great DJ mixes with me over the years that got me to love and appreciate the craft before I was old enough to learn it. You can expect a Dave Chappelle-like sense of humor from Nate throughout the entire weekend.
Katie Cole
Bridesmaid
Katie was my random roommate on an aerial retreat in Nicaragua and quickly became one of my dearest friends. She's thoughtful, adventurous, and my favorite person to fly with! I'm so glad to have Katie by my side. For a good adventure story, ask her about the time we got rained out while traveling through Maui.
Peter Everest
Groomsman
Peter and I met at Dance Church in Minneapolis. Bonding over music and dance evolved into sharing food and creating community. We help each other host gatherings where people feel safe, loved, and expressive. Peter helped usher us into property ownership, which has enabled our financial security and allows me to continue my artist journey and provides Sam and I with abundant and enriching lives. Sam and I will be forever grateful for Peter’s friendship, counsel, and wisdom. You can expect to hear about Peter’s parties with 3 dance floors and how he is building a sauna in his backyard.
