Savannah & Maxime
Wedding Party
Erick Pacheco
Best Man
Erick and I met shortly after I had first moved to the U.S. We lived very close together and quickly learned that we had a shared love for Video Games. Erick was always someone I could rely on for someone to hang out with, and his family always invited me into their home with open arms, even if they gave me a hard time due to my poor Spanish skills. Over the years, Erick has always been a reliable friend and has made a tremendous effort to visit often, whether it was a 2 hour drive to Oshkosh, where Savannah and I went to College together, or flights across the country after our move to Austin. Erick is still one of my regular gaming buddies, which has made the move south easier to bare.
Natalie Kostman
Maid of Honor & Officiant
The Brooke Davis to my Peyton Sawyer (Any One Tree Hill fans?). Natalie has been my best friend since 8th grade. We've shared middle school, high school, college, and plenty of jobs over the years. Together we've conquered love, loss, heartbreak, family drama, new friendships, and old friendships. I can't imagine having anyone else next to me on my big day. Sorry I stole your Lucas Scott, B.Davis.
Josh Vick
Groomsman
Josh and I met when we both signed a lease for the same apartment for our Junior years at Oshkosh. We received each-others contact info from the landlord, and instantly realized how much we had in common. We stayed roommates until Savannah and I moved to Austin, and I have him to thank for my best memories while in College. Josh and I play video games online together most days, and continue to be close friends, even though we now live far away.
Zoe Wishau
Bridesmaid
The wackiest cousin a girl could ask for. Zoe has been my partner in crime for as long as I can remember. We've spent years doing everything together. We fight like sisters, we laugh like friends, and we sing in the car like nobody's ever watching. She knows how to make me smile every time I see her, and she gets along with everybody she meets. I'm sure she'll be the life of the party at the wedding!
Zachary Gaitan
Groomsman
Zach and I went to High School together at Indian Trail Academy. We formed a strong friendship in our shared Business courses, and then worked together for multiple years at Action Territory. I was working there with him when we both met our future wives. While our education and careers meant we didn't get to see each-other as much, we always made an effort to keep in contact, and I always look forward to seeing him when I'm back in town.
Gabrielle Beauchemin
Bridesmaid
New Sister #1! Gabrielle and I took a few years to really get to know each other because she was busy living across the world in New Zealand, but I'm so happy to have her back in the states. She has always been so welcoming and included me in her wedding activities after I had been dating Max for only 6 months. She is so easy to talk to, and gives me the big sister advice I need to get by. She is a great presence in my life, and I think the future will only make us grow closer.
Dallas Nimz
Groomsman
Dallas, Savannah's older brother, has always had a fun personality. In the occasions that I've been able to spend time with him, we have had a great time talking about Football and Video Games. He's a Lions fan, but I forgive him because of how much respect he gives to the other teams, and how he has always treated me fairly since I've been introduced to him. I look forward to gaining another brother and getting to know him better.
Geneviève Tyson
Bridesmaid
New Sister #2! Geny is the first family member of the Beauchemin family that I really easily got along with. Her friendliness made me feel so welcome in every conversation and at every table. She is always bubbly, and giving me great advice. My favorite thing about Geny is her love for games. Her and Max can go on for hours talking about games, and trying to pull me into their world. She is so genuinely herself all the time, which is truly admirable.
Isabelle Holmstrom
Bridesmaid
New Sister #3! Both Max and I are so excited to have Isabelle be a part of our special day. With her being the closest in age to Max, she has always been so easy to relate to. She has guided us through so much of the wedding planning, which has been so incredibly helpful. Isabelle has a lot of incredible traits and hobbies, but I love her sense of adventure the most. She has already seen so much of the world, and always has another trip planned. I hope one day we can make one together!
Emily Jones
Bridesmaid
Emily is the closest friend that I didn't know I needed in my life. We both moved to Austin at the same time, started working at CBS at the same time, got promoted together, TWICE, and have been pretty inseparable since then. She is always willing to listen to me complain over a glass of wine, and she has proven to be such an amazing and loyal friend. I can't wait for my family to show her what Wisconsin is all about! (Feel free to bring her cheese curds and kringle) Also, ask her about her tiny home. SHE HAS A FREAKING TINY HOME. HOW COOL IS THAT?
Austin Kundert
Usher
Austin and Savannah worked together throughout College and quickly formed a bond that would last a lifetime. We are always having a good time when we get to see Austin, and his lively spirit forces anyone around to smile. Austin is always willing to put in effort to spend time with us, and has stayed a great friend even with our move across the country.
Alex Copeland
Usher
We had the chance to meet Alex through Emily, and he has become a close friend ever since. He is a fun person who always has a good story to tell. We've been able to spend a lot of time watching different sports games, playing pinball, and going hiking. Fun Fact - Alex shares the same birthday as Max!
