She is extremely patient and thoughtful, and mom extraordinaire to 3 incredible kids.
Gretchen Boeckman
Bridesmaid
Sophia met Gretchen when Gretchen was rushing to join the same sorority. The night they met, Sophia told everyone she met this super cool girl and hoped she would join. Sophia and Gretchen then spent their senior year of college in an apartment that was far too small with far too many girls. Gretchen is the star player on our volleyball team but somehow looks effortless doing it, an incredible dog and cat mom, an intelligent Chemist with Medtronic and someone that can always be relied on to come when called.
Mariah Riggi
Bridesmaid
Mariah and Sophia met their first day at Gustavus Adolphus College. Mariah asked Sophia to go to a bonfire together and Sophia agreed because it was day one and she wanted friends. Mariah stood Sophia up that night but somehow, they sparked a friendship after that! Mariah is best known for her rambunctious energy. She is the life of any party she goes to and is down for almost any adventure. Mariah also has the biggest heart, she works as a drug and alcohol counselor supporting people making huge lifestyle changes and will be the first to give you the shirt off her back.
Tyler Johnston
Groomsman
Tyler met Cole on his first day working at Toyota where Cole immediately got Tyler in trouble for climbing on a snowbank (it was like 30 ft tall). Cole had assured Tyler it would not be an issue, but we all know, it was. Cole and Tyler immediately bonded over their love for cars and cruising. They both own their dream cars and spend their free time at car meets and breweries around MN. Tyler is hardworking, funny and always down for a road trip.
Rolf Skyberg
Groomsman
Rolf is Sophia's older brother. When Rolf was 5, he rubbed a Buddha belly asking for a sister and ended up being the bigger brother to two, he has regretted it ever since!

You can always count on Rolf to make you feel welcomed, comfortable, and entertained.
