Sammy & Dan
Wedding Party
Robert Rathmanner
Best Man
Rob is the best older brother, well in fact, my only brother. But we both know who the favorite is! No matter where we are, I know I can count on him to be there for me. Thanks for standing my by side as I marry my best friend.
Isabelle Steed
Maid of Honor
Isabelle is the best little sister out there! She knows exactly how to irritate me to no end and also how to support me when I need her most. I couldn't imagine my wedding day without her by my side!! She always knows how to have a good time so watch out because The Party has arrived!
Tony Rathmanner
Groomsman
It's never hard finding Tony in a crowd. He knows how to keep the party going and everybody is welcome. Not only is he my cousin, but he is an even better friend. So pumped that you said yes to being my groomsman!
Sarah Mantzke
Bridesmaid
Sarah and I met working at a preschool while in college. I'm not sure exactly how it happened, but I became one of the Mantzke Sisters, even though I'm not a redhead. Whether we are making dinner at home or checking out what Milwaukee has to offer, we always have a good time. It's about to get Mil-wonky!
Pat Wallace
Groomsman
Pat is one of my best friends from high school and is always down for a project. And for as long as I can remember, he has always had a beard. Pat is one of the most loyal guys I know, so there was no question that he would be in my wedding party.
Amanda Smerlinski
Bridesmaid
Not only is Amanda my cousin, but she is a great inspiration also! I'm always checking out her fitness & health blog to see what the next amazing new thing is that she is doing. I'm so glad that she said yes to being my bridesmaid!
Joe Rathmanner
Groomsman
Joe is one of my favorite Rathmanner cousins and keeps me on my toes. You would never believe the late night voicemails I get from this guy! He has a heart of gold and is always down for a game of cards. Thanks for standing beside me on our wedding day!
Melanie Goessl
Bridesmaid
Melanie is definition hype woman: she is always down for a good time and makes every time together entertaining, even if it's just a simple craft day. I am so glad our friendship has grown the way it has in the last year and even happier that she agreed to be by my side for this special day!
Justin Peterson
Groomsman
Believe it or not, but Justin and I weren't always friends. Back in the teenage years, we really disliked each other. We soon got over all that and wreaked a lot of havoc in high school. Had to make up for lost time. It only makes sense that I have this guy by my side!
Shannon Rathmanner
Bridesmaid
Shannon is about to become my cousin but she is much more than that, she is a beloved Packer fan! It was the first thing we bonded over and haven't stopped there. She is the most caring and beautiful human on this Earth and I am so lucky she said yes to being my Bridesmaid!
Sam Traxler
Groomsman
Sam and I met in college while we were both at University of Minnesota - Mankato. Everyone thought he was my little brother and I think I always treated him as such. So glad he kept the BJJ gym alive in Mankato and it is always fun going up once a year and rolling. Thanks for being a part of our big day!
Katie Goers
Bridesmaid
I am so happy that my cousin Katie said yes to being my Bridesmaid! She was the one I was with when Dan & I matched on bumble and I embarrassed myself to no end asking if Dan wanted to meet at a bar. (If you know Dan, you get why) Luckily, Katie was there to help reassure me that I didn't completely blow it with him.
Ryan Acker
Walking Me Down The Aisle - Brother
First, let me tell you about my high school graduation. As I was walking onto the stage to accept my diploma, my brother ran up through the crowds, picked me up and spun me around in front of the entire auditorium. I was shocked and mortified at the time but as I look back on it, it's such a good story! However, I have learned my lesson. I will have the pleasure of having him walk me down the aisle and in case he decides to spin me around again, this time I will be prepared!
