Jessica & Chad
Kreinus Krew
Jessica Lundell
Bride
Loves all things coffee, chocolate, and Harry Potter. A mountain mama always down for a game of Catan.
Chad Kreinus
Groom
Michael Scott of Brookdale Senior Living, walking-talking WWE encyclopedia, and rockstar extraordinaire.
Rachel Erdmann
Maid of Honor
Met Jess freshman year of high school at summer volleyball camp. The two ended up being warm-up partners for every game and practice and the rest is history. Both went to colleges in Wisconsin, became nurses together, and currently work at hospitals that are connected to each other. Rach once flew to Ireland for 48 hrs to visit Jess while she was studying abroad. Only fitting that she’s standing at the bride’s side while the eagle flies for the last time.
Joe Kreinus
Best Man
Big brother of the groom and influencer of Chad's love for heavy metal music, professional wrestling, Adam Sandler movies, and baseball. Twice threatened to disown Jess for being a Chicago sports fan and hating Dumb and Dumber. Lifelong friend and role model, Chad needs his bro by his side as he walks down the aisle to meet his bride.
Jon Windau
Best Man
Chad's best friend. Often the pair can be found grabbing seasonal Starbucks drinks, shoe shopping at the mall, or enjoying Bloody Mary's while watching UFC tournaments and horror films. Best known for his exotic taste in shoes and reviving My Chemical Romance 20 years after their debut. Chad needs his bestie for the rest-ie while he marries his wifey for life-y.
Alexandra Wiskes
Bridesmaid
Most likely to be found bragging about Cleveland, practicing her Irish accent, or brewing up a batch of her famous oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. Was once told she is “the same person as Jess, just louder.” Alexandra has been one of Jess’s roommates for the past two years, and it just makes sense that her housemate should be her bridesmate.
Amanda Greathouse
Bridesmaid
Known for only eating corn dogs with mustard, having her wire-rimmed glasses stolen at Great Wolf Lodge in the 5th grade, and coining the phrase “oh brother Hubbard.” Met Jess in a group project for a history elective sophomore year of college. The following year, they studied abroad and traveled to 12 different countries together. One year later, they signed a lease together with Alexandra. Now a greathousemate turned bridesmate.
Patrick Riegert
Groomsman
Met Chad in high school. Back in the day, the two could be found cruising around West Allis in Chad's Ford Explorer jamming to their alternative rock mixtape and grabbing a burger or breakfast at Wisconsin's best, George Webb's. Throughout the years and over 800 miles of distance, the two have remained close friends and can often be found sharing a brewski and reminiscing on the good days. This friend Chad's known all his life is a necessity to have by his side as he marries his wife!
Erin Kurtz
Bridesmaid
Jess’s freshman year college roommate turned sophomore year, junior year, and senior year roommate. Also, her biggest Bananagrams competitor. A true enthusiast, she once had 3 differently prepared forms of potatoes for dinner. Not only did they share a dorm/apartment for four years, but they shared a room. The late night talks, early morning getting ready playlists, outfit exchanges, and everything in between is why Jess needs this sister by her side while she marries her mister!
Aaron Bernard
Groomsman
Chad's high school bestie. The two bonded over their love for video games, 80s hair metal, working out, and Bakers Square's Neapolitan pie. They went on to start their own band post-college and recorded their first EP together on Spotify. Today, they can still be found playing video games. Aaron brings nothing but a good time which is why Chad needs this guy to stand by!
Beth Michalewski
Bridesmaid
Became running buddies/study partners with Jess freshman year of college. The two bonded over their love of the outdoors, smoothies, Harry Potter, dogs, and coffee. Jess was also known to frequently third-wheel Beth and her now fiancé for Sunday night mass and dinner. Now that Jess found her future hubby, the troupe of four can be found exploring new trails to hike, trying out new recipes, or playing video games and board games together. Jess needs Beth by her side as she says yeth!
Joe Ziegler
Groomsman
Best known as Navigator Joe for offering directions in the most inopportune circumstances. Met Chad at a sleepover in high school where they deemed themselves the "delicious duo" and the rest is history. A fellow metal head, WWE enthusiast, and concert going buddy. Chad can't say I do without his tag-team partner.
Becca McDermott
Bridesmaid
Jess’s first friend. 24 years of Disney movie marathons, Mario Kart races, blind-folded makeovers, Polly Pocket fashion shows, and 4th of July fireworks. Becs told Jess her hair looked awesome after she cut her own side bangs in 7th grade. A true forever friend!
Kyle Lundell
Groomsman
Jess’s big brother. He’s been there through it all—making forts in the basement, mud pies in the backyard, toothpaste beards, and outfits made entirely of underwear. Although they’ve had their fair share of arguing about whose turn it was to walk the dog or empty the dishwasher, the two have remained good friends throughout the years. He once said, “Chad’s pretty cool.”
Kathryn Cichon
Usher
Met via Facebook messenger in 2015. Shared some super cringey messages before deciding to room together in college. Thank goodness for shared interests of crying during Les Mis, having dance parties to the Goo Goo Dolls, and not being sorority girls, because they ended up living together for three more years. The two shared a lot of “firsts” together, which is why she needs to be apart of Jess’s first (and last) time saying “I do!”
Emma Jacobs
Usher
She loves all things pink and sparkly, yet also values a cold Busch Light and the smell of “natural odor.” A well-rounded Iowa girl. Emma and Jess met through mutual friends on an intramural soccer team in college. Though the team only lasted one season, their friendship endured and now they can often be found grabbing coffee from a local Milwaukee shop and going on walks together. Jess can’t walk down the aisle without her favorite walking partner!
Alaina Herron
Usher
Best hug giver, hair styler, and study partner. These two met through that same intramural soccer team freshman year of college. After finding out that they shared the same passions of dancing, Harry Potter, being goofy, and Kopp’s, Jess and Alaina knew they simply must be friends. Her contagious smile and laugh are necessary to brighten Jess and Chad’s special day!
Allison O’Malley
Usher
For being Jess’s wisest and best advice-giving friend, it’s hard to believe that Allison once overcooked and undercooked chicken on the stovetop. Another college pal brought together by mutual friends, they bonded over tacos, T.J. Maxx, and rom-coms. Without Ral’s fashion sense, pop-culture, and infinite Bachelor knowledge, Jess would be lost. Ral has to be there when Jess gives Chad her final rose!
Lexi Sahagian
Flower Girl
Sparkle-loving, makeup-wearing, adventurous, best hug giving cousin of the bride.
Billy Sahagian
Ring Bearer
Jess's cousin and Lexi's adorable little bro. Cuteness. Overload. Enough. Said.
