Tabitha & Daniel
Wedding Party
Diana Rick
Maid of Honor
~Alexa play Best Friend by Saweetie and Doja Cat~ Diana is the sister I never had. We moved down to Milwaukee together after high school and have been attached at the hip ever since. If I am invited somewhere, just know that Diana will be coming with by default and vice versa. After living together for over 5 years we truly experienced it all together from making new friends, heartbreak, college, full time jobs, big purchases and now true love. She's been someone I've always been able to count on for anything. She's one of my favorite people on the planet and I can't imagine having anyone else next to me on my big day!
Jake Condon
Best Man
Jake and I first met when we were both interns at Aptar (and actually still work there to this day). We shared a lot of interests - hanging out in Madison, rooting for the Packers, playing way too many video games, and board games with really long instruction books. We eventually became roommates for a while, around the same time that Tabitha and I started dating. Then, Jake and Tayler actually moved into the same apartment building where Tabitha and I moved in together - the four of us would hang out a lot and have been super close over the years!
Jennifer Rick
Bridesmaid
Jen became a sister and best friend when I met Diana (she's the maid of honor's little sister). I like to think her family is my second family and I watch out for her/worry about her just like I would for my own little sister. I can always count on Jen to make me laugh, give me makeup and skincare tips and be down to get brunch! She's equal parts down to earth and ready to party - a great combo for our wedding party!
Chuck Bower
Groomsman
Chuck and I really grew close in high school and would soon turn into one of my best friends. We had a bunch of classes together and were always joking around and making fun of things. I'll always remember our classroom shenanigans, and all the basketball games we attended as well behaved fans. We were roommates our freshman year of college in the dorms, and also afterwards in a big 9 bedroom house. We would hang out just about every weekend during college and also after we graduated - whether it was going to Vegas or Poto, some random party, or just watching sports at a bar.
Mary Nelson
Bridesmaid
Being an only child, I latched on to D.J.'s sisters pretty quickly. Mary has always been sweet, kind and caring. I couldn't ask for a better family to marry into!
Bill Burki
Groomsman
Bill and I also met in 6th grade East Troy Titans football. Not only were we "the running backs" but eventually he would become one of my best friends. We pretty much liked all of the same stuff - the Packers, video games, canoeing trips, classic rock music. I couldn't even guess how many times we've sang Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin songs together. We also tried starting a band once (Mario Speedwagon) but our big debut didn't go so well. I probably spent more weekends at Bill's house than my own!
Sarah Chesky
Bridesmaid
D.J's sister Sarah has made me feel welcome from Day 1. She's such a genuine person that it's easy to love her. I'm excited to have her stand by our side on the big day!
Craig Clark
Groomsman
Craig is Tabitha's cousin. For many years we were the only kids in the family so we bonded pretty quickly. He taught me how to wrestle, play video games and pogs. I won't bring up how he unplugged my video game controller to make me think I was playing. He was always ready to go to war for anyone who hurt me and thankfully, he never had to with D.J. He means so much to both of us he was basically told to stand up, not asked.
Tayler Clark/Condon
Bridesmaid
Tayler is the definition of a true friend. She's honest, caring and a great listener. She always pushes me to be my best self and I love that about her. Her and her hubby Jake are amazing friends we love to travel and have game nights with!
Mike Schirmer
Groomsman
Mike and I met in 6th grade East Troy Titans football. I will always remember how he had a mustache before anyone else our age could grow one. Soon after, we started to hang out just about every weekend - playing old NES video games, trying to make funny videos with an old camcorder, and just getting into stupid things kids that age get into. Over the years he would become one of my best friends. Some of my favorite memories with Mike are playing countless hours of card games like euchre and sheepshead, basement video games, skipping study hall to walk over to his house and play super smash brothers, and getting capicola from Jimmy Johns in college.
Nerissa Ney
Bridesmaid
I changed a LOT of this one's diapers. Nerissa was like a sibling to me growing up. I've watched her grow into a smart, talented and beautiful young woman and I'm so excited she said yes to standing up!
Trevan Clark
Groomsman
Trevan is Tabitha's cousin. He was the first baby I ever held! I remember when he was born and how sweet of a kid he always was. Now he's all grown up and a father! He's such a genuine and caring person and we are so excited to have him stand up and support us always.
Kaitlyn Spence
Bridesmaid
My hairstylist/color guru, one of my best friends and a true sweetheart! KT has been a great friend for years and we met when I bartended at Hotch. She came in to the bar and kept the boys in check (you know who you are). She's a real animal on the dance floor so watch out for this one!
Josh Rudolph
Groomsman
Josh and I met when he started dating Diana, but I knew we'd get along right away! Even though we haven't known each other a super long time, I already have a bunch of fun memories - going to a WWE Smackdown match, Halloween and other holiday parties, watching his band FM Rodeo, and walking down the block to just hang out at his house. You can always count on Josh to lend you his golf clubs or help you move a fridge out of your basement, he's just that kind of dude!
Cody Trapp
Usher
I've known Cody for a really long time that I don't even remember exactly when we met, probably in grade school. We would hang out playing sports growing up and a lot more in high school. We actually lived across the street from each other for a while. I have a lot of good memories from having bonfires over at his house, to going to random parties, and even a week long canoe trip. He's always someone you can count on to be a great friend and always down for a good time!
Griffin Loehner
Usher
Griffin and I met soon after I started dating Tabitha. I knew we'd get along great after we wore matching sweaters one night and talked about random video games. I have a lot of fun memories from golfing, pub crawls & breweries, Washington Island, and just talking about nerdy space things. Griffin and KT always welcomed us into their home when we needed a place to stay!
Steven Snyder
Officiant
Steven has been in my life since our epic parties back in 2010. He means so much to D.J. and I that we asked him to marry us! He lights up every room he walks into with his charismatic personality and we couldn't imagine our day without him being in this role.
Emily, Lizzie and Sam
Personal Attendants
Emily is playing a big role in the day being a hairstylist for my girls! Lizzie and Sam will be helping to make sure the day runs smooth as can be too! I trust these girls with my life so they are perfect to make sure everything is in order. The three of them are so sweet, kind and total bosses. They can convince me to buy literally anything and have the best taste. I'm so happy to be able to make them a special part of the day.
