Wedding Party

Cole Meyers

Best Man

Cole and I were roommates during PA school. We both came to school from out of state and took the chance being random roommates. We quickly became the best of friends. We bonded over all things Michigan and Minnesota sports, making our way through PA school during the covid pandemic and competing in beach volleyball, basketball, gaming and more. I'm proud to have him by my side on our wedding day.

Rachel Hinton

Maid of Honor

From tears, to laughter, to tears from laughter, Rachey has been by my side for years and I couldn’t imagine anyone else being next to me on my wedding day. She’s been my go to breakfast company, triathlon partner, travel buddy and most importantly best friend. Despite it being cliche, we were cousins by chance and best friends by choice!

Josh Grachek

Groomsman

Josh and I have been friends since elementary school. We became roommates in college even sharing the same room for a year. We can always talk about what's going wrong with Gopher sports (always a lot), can count on him for having Hamms in the fridge and for a game night.

Kylie Harrison

Bridesmaid

I can honestly say I wouldn’t be where I am today without Kylie as my cousin and friend! From the highest highs and lowest lows, I’ve always been able to go to Ky for guidance, a distraction, or conversation. I’ve thought about her being my bridesmaid since the 8th grade and I’m so happy that day has finally come!

Seth Baetzold

Groomsman

Seth and I grew up in the same neighborhood and have been friends our entire life. He's one of the funniest people I know, always with a joke on tap. He's also my number #1 supporter outside of Sam.

Taylor Stockwell Thiets

Bridesmaid

Taylor may be Connor’s favorite little sister, but she’s also become one of my favorite people to spend time with. Whether it’s rock climbing, dress shopping, going for walks or playing a silly card game, she brings so much joy and happiness to every occasion. I can’t wait to refer to her as my sister in addition to one of my closest friends!

Dillon Carlson

Groomsman

Dillon and I have known each other since high school. We became closer friends into college and became roommates. I can always count on Dillon for a good conversion, any random bet and a slow dance partner.

Emma Birkholz

Bridesmaid

Emma is my older sister. We have always gotten along (unlike me and Taylor as we fought a bit more as kids and I have the scars to prove it) but Emma, Taylor and myself have only gotten closer over the years. We love playing games, cheering for the vikings and just chilling is our favorite hobby. I'm so glad I can call her my sister and friend.

Dan Richie

Groomsman

Dan and I have known each other since high school. He's a great guy to get a beer a with, catch a Timberwolves game and talk football (even as a packers fan). I have always valued him as one of my best friends.

Emelia Jaworski

Bridesmaid

I met Emelia through our jobs at Wayside, and without her I wouldn’t be able to do the work we do. Over the last year, we’ve become so much more than “work friends” and now I refer to her as “one of my best friends”. I’m lucky to share an office wall with her, and more importantly I’m lucky to have someone as caring and present as her in my life!

Elio Hinton

Groomsman

We may be age gap siblings with 10 years between us but it’s never gotten in the way of being friends. Elio may have given me one the weirdest nicknames that I’ve never been able to shake, but I wouldn’t change it for anything. Another fun fact about Elio is that they’ve come closer to beating Connor in an arm wrestle than I have!

Jennifer Pyne

Bridesmaid

It’s easy to say Jen is my favorite cousin on my mom’s side, because she’s my only cousin on my moms side. But even if I had 20 cousins, I think she’d still be my favorite. No matter how much time passes, our friendship never changes. She’s been there for so much, I’ve always thought of her as more of a sister than my cousin and I wouldn’t have it any other way!
