We became roommates our junior year of college. If you get the pleasure of meeting Mak, ask her about the one time she ran (the) track.
Garrett
Best Man

Allison
Bridesmaid
Nicknames: Al, Al-Pal (her HS friends call her Ally but I will never..) Where does she live now? London, UK How does she know Christina? Al and I were part of the original MMSA's grade school 'sexy 7.' We went to separate high schools so we could have double the friend groups and continued to be so close, we decided to live and work together in St. Paul post college. If you have the pleasure of meeting her, ask her about our first time at O'Garas.
Jason

Jenn
Bridesmaid
Nicknames: I don't think she has one.. just make sure you spell her name with 2 N's. Where does she live now? La Crosse, Wisconsin How does she know Christina? Jenn heard so many good things about me before I actually knew her because I was HS buddies with her (now) husband, Doug. Jenn is literally the sweetest person you will ever know. I cherish her friendship so much. If you get the pleasure in meeting Jenn, ask her about that one time someone used her cupcake frosting.
Phil
Groomsman
Nickname: 30 Where does he live now? Cokato, Minnesota How does he know Wes? We met through a good friend, Joe Schlueter at a house party and later I coached him at Augustana. If you have the pleasure of meeting Phil, ask him to rip off a quick twenty for ya.
Megan
Bridesmaid
Megan is Christina's SIL. She and Wes couldn't stand each other during our 2017 vacay in Italia but they have come along way since that trip. They've come so far, in fact, that we enjoyed a winter trip to Colorado this past year, where Megan showed off her snowboarding skills. Anyways, She is undeniably the fashionista who is the most connected with TikTok trends. Bobby is one lucky guy but I am so fortunate I get (another) cool sister for life!
Matt
Groomsman
Nickname: Ole Where does he live now? Savage, Minnesota How does he know Wes? We met at a 13U Apple Valley baseball tournament. My team won by throwing Matt out at home plate. Later that fall I moved to AV and we played on the same teams and did everything for the rest of our lives until I moved to Columbus (at the age of 26). If you have the pleasure of meeting Matt, ask him about the 2010 NFC championship game.
Julia
Bridesmaid
Nickname: Jue-bee, Julia-Gulia, Bird-flu Where does she live now? Palo Alto, California How does she know Christina? Julia and I shared the same major in college and she shared the same gluten intolerance and wine-o taste buds as my mom. Julia was always up for a good time, and typically that good time turned into shenanigans. If you have the pleasure of meeting her, ask her about game night at her cousins.
Brooks
Groomsman
Nicknames: Byrdy, Lammajamma, Brooksy Where does he live now? Shoreview, Minnesota How does he know Wes? We were both LBers for the St. Olaf in '08 and quickly bonded over nonsense such as Mel Brooks movies, and 4th of July pontoon parades. If you have the pleasure of meeting Brooks, ask him about that one time he got frostbite.
