Taylor & Adam
Wedding Party
Mariah Tesch
Maid of Honor
Through ten years of friendship, Wilke and Mariah have grown a lot together. From Wilke being apprehensive to hang out with Mariah the first time thinking she was "weird", to Wilke inventing the dance the "dead fish" and Mariah experiencing those same feelings. Mariah and Wilke could never stay apart long. Taking turns visiting each other at college at least every other week never felt like enough. Then Adam came along, and with his (actually good) dance moves, quickly replaced Wilke as Mariah's best friend (just kidding)! It's hard to remember a time when they weren't there for each other's big moments, and I'm extremely honored to be by your side for the biggest!
Austin Franke
Best Man
Adam's brother, best friend and now best man. Austin and Adam share their love of sports and have bonded over the years cheering on the Bucks, Badgers and Packers.
Sam Olson
Bridesmaid
I first met Taylor in 2nd grade through her cousin, Molly, when she first moved to Winneconne from Sheboygan. We've been friends ever since and we've made a lot of memories together. Taylor has always been the life of the party everywhere we go, because she loves to have fun. She is one of the sweetest and most positive people I've ever met in my life. I think one of my favorite memories with her was when we took a trip to Mexico, and she got pooped on by a bird but then decided to wash off in the PUBLIC pool where everyone swims. I'm very grateful for our friendship and I'm lucky to have such a caring person in my life who keeps it entertaining!
Grady Fink
Groomsman
Adam and Grady have known each other since they were 5 years old. The two have grown up together. Through gaming and late nights in high school and college, the two have an extremely close friendship.
Molly Rebman
Bridesmaid
Taylor and Molly have been close their entire lives. Cousins, friends, teammates and even roommates for a summer. The two are never far apart. From joint birthday parties to college parties to wedding parties, Wilke and Molly always know how to make it memorable for all. Not too many people can keep up with their crazy antics, but then came Adam. He soon found his place in our family, and Wilke and Molly had found their third wheel. I didn't get to choose my cousin, but I'm sure glad it was Wilke, and even happier she chose Adam!
Eddie Lopez
Groomsman
Eddie and Adam became close friends in middle school. These two and Grady became the trio that did everything together. Eddie introduced Taylor and Adam to each other at UWO. Since then, Taylor, Eddie, Adam and Grady have all been best friends.
Karly Rebman
Bridesmaid
Since the cousins live almost two hours apart, Karly and Taylor don't get to see each other as much as they would like, but they look forward to when they get together for Badger tailgates or Sunday Fundays. Through these moments and many more, Karly has been able to see the beautiful couple that Adam and Taylor make and know they are meant for one another. Karly could not be happier that Taylor found this family's "jello" and is ecstatic to celebrate the loving couple in Punta Cana!!
Austin Clark
Groomsman
Austin and Adam went to school together in Omro as well. The two of them still spend summer nights at Zach's house playing ping pong, pool, darts, you name it. Now Austin, Zach and Adam game together any chance they get.
Leah Hoffman
Bridesmaid
To talk about how I first met Taylor, requires searching through years of memories - most of which come before the time of her eyebrows. I believe our earliest moments were spent sweaty and sunburnt on a softball field somewhere with intimidation and annoyance underlying each interaction. Once Wilke learned to appreciate my sarcasm and bad attitude, she clung tight and never let me go. I couldn't be more thankful for that day.
Zach Grabner
Groomsman
Zach and Adam met in elementary school. Zach and his family would take Adam down to Six Flags every summer for many, many years. Through sports in middle/high school, the two have been there for each other through everything.
Kate Knepperath
Bridesmaid
Taylor and Kate met the summer of 2019, when Kate started dating Adam's brother, Austin. Being the girlfriends of the Franke boys, they got to know each other over charcuterie bards in Green Lake, shots of Kummel in Juneau and weekend trips to Door County. Over the years, they've shared their love of New Girl and indulging on Crumbl cookies, while beating the boys in a mean game of 6-handed cribbage. Can't wait to celebrate Taylor and Adam's big day!
Remington Wilke
Groomsman
Remi and Adam met shortly after Adam and Taylor started dating. Remi is Taylor's younger brother. Adam and Remi spend their time together having Sunday Funday's at the Rebman's house.
Dominic Rebman
Groomsman
Dom and Adam met after Taylor and Adam started dating. Dom is Taylor's first cousin. Adam and Dom are two peas in a pod when they get together. There is not a time when they aren't laughing. The two also spend their time at Rebman's house or family gatherings with a couple beers.
Rob Rebman
Officiant
Taylor and Adam knew they wanted Uncle Rob to be their officiant days after they were engaged!
