Our Bridal Party
Teresa Linn
Maid of Honor
Hey! I am Teresa, Anne’s friend, cousin, and compadre since childhood. I have been privileged to know Anne through capture the flag, bike rides to the Whitefish Bay pool, shared November birthdays, and every bridal/baby shower ever. I am so excited to witness the start of Ben and Anne’s marriage in service to Christ through each other!
John Siemens
Best Man
Hi! I am Ben’s brother. I met Anne out in California where I currently live with Ben. But now he is leaving me. And that’s sad. But I’m super stoked for them.
Rebecca Siemens
Bridesmaid
Hi! I'm Ben's older sister and am thrilled to also soon be Anne's sister. I work with animals and will therefore make SURE the bride has a lint roller available at all times in her emergency kit so she can look her darn best. I met Anne on a film set before they dated and Ben on the first day he graced the planet, so we all go way back.
Ben Stroka
Groomsman
I met Ben when he was a freshman at Franciscan University. I was a senior but he was kewl enough that myself and the others seniors in our frat adopted him and helped mold him into the outstanding human he is now. You’re welcome.
Maura Linn
Bridesmaid
My name is Maura and I am Anne’s younger cousin. I am blessed to be included in Anne and Ben’s wedding and I am so excited for the big day. I met Ben back in 2020 and I cannot wait to spend more time with both him and Anne in the future!
Steve Linn
Groomsman
Mr. Linn knows Anne from way back in the early winter of '98. Together they made ruckus breaking windows, painting golfballs, and calling the fuzz on innocent women. Mr. Linn looks forward to the fusing of these two gold medals in Holy Matrimony.
Marin Siemens
Bridesmaid
Hi there! I’m Marin Siemens! I’m Ben’s little sister and Anne’s future sister-in-law! I’m so flippin pumped to be one of Anne’s bridesmaids and cannot wait to have such a wonderful person like Anne as an older sister! I’ve always been close with Ben and I’m so honored to get to be just as close with Anne!
Joe Siemens
Groomsman
Hi I’m Joe Siemens and I am Ben's younger but taller brother! I recently converted to Judaism and I am now the local rabbi. Shalome
Kaitlyn Krikorian
Bridesmaid
Hey I’m Kaitlyn! I met Anne and Ben in college at JPCatholic and we instantly bonded. My favorite thing about Anne is her heart, ability to pull a good cry out of anyone, carpool karaoke skills, and filmmaking genius. Ben is a super talented photographer and we share that passion in common. He has been there for me in many needed times. I’m super stoked to be there for their day and watch their love grow through the years.
Jacob Ice
Groomsman
I have known Ben for 8 years and have gotten to know Anne from the car ride to Disneyland to parties at the appartment. There are so many words that I wish I could say but just know this: The love these two have for each other can be felt the second they are together. I am so blessed and truly grateful that Ben and Anne would want me at their wedding to represent them. I love them both so much. Cubby out
Shayla Millman
Bridesmaid
Hello! I'm Shayla, and I'm a big fan of Anne and Ben as people and as a couple. I met them at JPCatholic, and was roommates with Anne in college, after college, and in the Tru by Hilton of Amarillo, Texas.
Lucas Hamilton
Groomsman
Grace Tamburro
Bridesmaid
Grace and Anne had a “love at first sight” kinda friendship when they first met in college. Two long-lost, kindred spirits with scarily similar pasts and a shared love of folk music, the Good Lord, and the arts who both found each other at just the right time in lil ole Escondido of all places.
Dominic Boucher
Groomsman
My name is Dominic and not to toot my own horn, but I’m pretty much the reason Ben and Anne are together. Ben and I were friends right off the bat and were housemates for about a year. During this time I built a friendship with both Ben and Anne. So I pretty much set them up. No thank yous are needed (maybe appropriate but not needed) but if you’re here it’s because of me.
Evie Watkins
Bridesmaid
Hi my name is Evelyn (Evie) and I know Ben and Anne from college. I was Anne’s friend and roommate for all 3 years for school.
Danny Rollino
Groomsman
Hi, I’m Danny, I met Ben when we spent a semester in Austria. We instantly bonded over our mutual love for Taylor Swift and he essentially became the official third-wheel-personal-photographer for me and my girlfriend.
Lucia Linn
Flower Girl
My name is Lucia. I’m Aunt Anne’s goddaughter. I like to color and paint, too. I hope I can color like Aunt Anne soon. I like to play. I have very long hair.
Joe Linn
Ring Bearer
My name is Joe. I am Aunt Anne’s godson. I have been preparing and training for the burden of carrying the ring to the altar of St. Robert’s church. I am as physically fit as I have ever been in my long and distinguished life of eight years. I will not stray from my appointed task (unless delicious food is present). I look forward to seeing all of you. I prefer baseball to coloring and painting. I have very short hair.
