Maid of Honor
My sister and best friend since infancy! Britta is the kind of incredible older sister everyone needs in their life. She spent many years working in the mountains of Idaho and recently moved home to Wisconsin. I miss visiting her out west but am so happy to have to closer to me. Love you, Britta Kay :)
Best Man
The best big brother a guy could ask for! John has been a great role model, confidant, and goof ball partner for me. He's been telling dad jokes since before he was a dad and has not slowed down since having 4 kids with his lovely wife Jenika. I hope to grow up and be as big and strong as him some day!
Matron of Honor
Chelsea and I met in pre-school....we didn't get along because I had problems sharing. Thankfully, she forgave me and we have been best friends ever since!
Groomsman
Nate and I became friends in high school and later lived together for 4 years. He got to experience Sarah and I's relationship first hand from the beginning and made sure I didn't screw it up. Overall good guy.
Bridesmaid
As a kid, I always thought Christa was the coolest older cousin. Beautiful, kind, loved by everyone, and good at sports. I always looked up to her then and nothing has changed now!
Groomsman
Karsten aka Karpie is Sarah's younger brother and I'm overjoyed to finally have a younger brother to pick on (even though he's bigger than me)! I'm hoping he can teach me how to hunt and fish so I can impress Paul and I'll teach him how to play football and basketball ;).
Bridesmaid
Megan and I have been best friends since childhood and inseparable most of our adulthood...we shared a tiny one bedroom apartment during beauty school and continued living together for most of the next 8 years. It was fun and wonderful and just occasionally crazy, which is how I would also describe my relationship with Megan :)
Groomsman
Zach and I met in high school and lived together in college at the U of MN. He is known for his "incredible" style and his love of sweaters. We have enjoyed many adventures together including a recent fly fishing excursion that resulted in a near bear attack. P.S. Have you heard of TroutRoutes?
Bridesmaid
Karen studied abroad to the US in high school and ended up in the Petersen household. We were friends almost immediately and I'm forever grateful for the stroke of luck that brought us together. She also gets the furthest travelled award for this wedding!
Groomsman
"Dex" has been a good friend of mine for about 18 years. He is an inaugural member of the exclusive SPBC (St. Paul Brunch Crew) along with our significant others. I recently officiated his wedding and my name is tattooed on his body so apparently he thinks highly of me. #BoWeerDexSki
Bridesmaid
I was lucky to work with Carrie on my very first trip as a flight attendant. I thought she thought I was a weirdo but lucky for me, we had another trip together soon. Even if she does think I'm a weirdo, she's stuck with me and I'm so thankful for such a great friend.
Groomsman
The Big Brown Bear has been a close friend since we met at football practice before our freshman year of high school. We lived together during and after college for a couple years before he kicked me out to live with his wife/high school sweetheart. Too many good times together over the years. #BoWeerDexSki.
Usher
Doctor Rob has been a good friend since high school (even though he was valedictorian) and has stuck by me even after I broke his car door, his fiance's phone, and dominated him in countless wrestling matches. We keep him around because he's truly a great friend, but also so he can take care of us when we get old.
Usher
DRock and I met back in 8th grade at a Holy Angels basketball camp where I was jealous of his shoes and I've been trying to be as cool as him ever since. Playing football and basketball and engaging in general shenanigans together formed a tight bond that has continued to this day #2BestInDaGame #BoWeerDexSki.
