Practically my sister since Marquette vball days. Hilarious tall twin who loves Taylor Swift, dancing in the kitchen, molding the minds of today’s youth with math and exploring new places (especially outdoors).

Go-to weekday gal date (especially over Glorioso’s take home pizza). Friend from college that became a bestie post-grad. Competitive Boggle player and secret lover of my punny dad jokes.
Maggie Balleza

Dutch best friend. Gezellig guardian, favorite video caller, human rights advocate, confident American/European explorer, honest talker, running stroller enthusiast, and game show host contestant (not kidding).
Elise Giblin
Bridesmaid
Fellow junior high flautist. The reason I felt included in Jr. High/High School. Always down for a good time, code names, zucchini bread and beignets. Companion to double date partner in crime - Matt.

Nicole Murnik
Bridesmaid
We started as gals who committed to dinner dates in college and graduated to a two-gal book club (with an emphasis on deep chats). Avid fast walker, celebrator of the little things, fitness aficionado, prosciutto connoisseur, and the nurse you'd ALWAYS want taking care of you.
Meredith Tarpey
Bridesmaid
My cheerful equivalent. My favorite laugh. Go-to hype woman, This is Us lover, bacon expert, pro popcorn maker, best real estate agent in Chicago, Irish gal through and through, and Miller High Life influencer.
Alex Hams
Best Man
My big brother, Alex, is the second smartest person that I know... His wife, Roshani, is the smartest. In a classic younger brother fashion, I stole most of my interests and hobbies from Alex, but that's because I've always looked up to him while he looked out for me. He's an amazing brother and role model, but an even better father to his son, Rohan.
Emmanuel Arenas, SJ
Groomsman
It didn't take long for Eman and I to become friends. We had just met on a service trip in college, and after cracking a really lame joke in front of a group of people, Eman was the only one who laughed. That was the beginning of a beautiful friendship. While most of our conversations consist of laughter, I am constantly inspired by his acts of love and compassion as he becomes a Jesuit priest.
Ian Baker
Groomsman
Ian is a true renaissance man and my concert buddy. When he's not working on an art project in his shop or riding around Wisconsin on his motorcycle, he's getting involved with his community and standing up for what's right. You'll typically find us in a mosh pit at a Black Midi or King Gizzard concert.
Joe Bartoletti, MD
Groomsman
I had the pleasure of sharing a room with Joe during our junior year of college. It ultimately resulted in minor sleep deprivation, but that's just because Joe and I would stay up late and chat about life. To this day, I value every conversation I can get with him, even when some of it's completely over my head. He's one of the most intentional people you'll ever meet.
Cesar Gomez
Groomsman
Simply put, Ceas is the life of the party, and one of the wittiest people I know. He and I immediately clicked when we met in orientation staff, and I'm eternally grateful that we've been friends since. Many of my favorite memories over the past decade include him and the different apartments we rented together in Milwaukee. He has many talents, including cooking. Follow his Instagram for incredible food content.
Andrew Pitts
Groomsman
Andrew and I have a countless amount of funny memories from our college years and beyond. I had the privilege of being Andrew's roommate for three years, and during that time, I found myself learning a lot from him. He's someone who values the important things in life, and he helped teach me that while we lived together. Andrew is also a blast on the dance floor - you'll see soon enough!
Cole Stenzel
Groomsman
I'm not sure if I've ever laughed as hard with anyone else as I have with Cole. While I would say Cole is one of the funniest people I've met, that doesn't do him justice, because he's also an incredibly thoughtful person. He truly shows up for the people he loves, and inspires me every day. Him and Eman together are a dangerously fun duo.
Tommy Swartz
Groomsman
I truly mean it when I say that my only regret from college is that I didn't become friends with Tommy sooner. The best way to describe Tommy is that he's a decathlete of a human being, and by that I mean he's one of the most wholesome people you'll ever meet. Tommy knows how to savor the best moments in life, which are moments with the people you love. He met his perfect match with his wife, Taylor, who is just as amazing as he is.
Connor Gwinn
Usher
There is no one like Connor Gwinn. There are few people in my life who have had such a significant impact on me like Connor has. We were roommates when we studied abroad in Cape Town, and during that time, we shared several life-changing experiences. The greatest thing about Connor is his curiosity - he's unafraid to explore the unknown in life, and that has ultimately inspired me to live a better life.
Brian LaBelle
Usher
If you know Brian LaBelle, you know that any experience with Brian is going to result in a gloriously fun memory. I have so many memories of laughing until I get teary-eyed from listening to his epic stories. Not only is Brian a good time, but he also is a thoughtful, reliable person who shows up for his friends. Brian has lived so much life, and I'm lucky to be a part of it.
Kevin Selwa
Usher
When Kevin and I first became friends, I was initially drawn to his very specific style of humor, but the reason I love Kevin is because he has a huge heart. He is often a proponent of mental and emotional health, and I've seen him first-hand check in on his friends. Kevin also happens to be the best-dressed person I know.
