Wedding Party
Grace Zumwinkle
Maid of Honor
Grace and Taylor have been good friends for a long time! Grace is one of the most unselfish people & never fails to put others above herself!! She plays on both the MN Frost and Team USA with Taylor which was where their friendship started! Not like she has the choice.. but she is Taylor’s road roommate. Which means she spends about 125 days a year in a hotel room with Taylor!
Brody Fox
Best Man
Brody is more than a brother — he’s a built-in best friend. He has the biggest heart and is always down for a good time. He’s the kind of guy who makes any trip better — hands down the best travel partner, whether it’s a quick weekend or across the world. We’ve always been each other’s biggest supporters, especially when it comes to our careers. This year, Brody played professional basketball in Europe, and I watched just about every game I could. We’re grateful to have him home for the summer and back by our side.
Abby Boreen
Bridesmaid
Abby has been Taylor’s best friend since college! She had the honor of living with her for 4 years (which I know she loved!) Abby is one of the hardest workers I know, and truly works everyday to not only be an amazing hockey player, but an even better pharmacist & person! She has also never seen a dance floor that doesn’t speak to her! That’s a few reasons why we love and appreciate her! Abby is 1/3 of the ducklings!
Jamison Battle
Groomsman
Parker and Jamison were teammates at the University of Minnesota for two years, building a bond that goes far beyond basketball. Now playing in the NBA for the Toronto Raptors, Jamison continues to make those around him proud with the same work ethic and loyalty he’s always had. Parker and Taylor have had the pleasure of getting to know not only Jamison, but also his incredible mom, Darcy. He’s the kind of guy you can always rely on and someone you absolutely want in your corner. And when the music comes on? Don’t be surprised if Jamison is the one breaking it down on the dance floor
Catie Skaja
Bridesmaid
Catherine is a crazy soul that Taylor was blessed to know and play alongside at the University of Minnesota. Taylor also had the pleasure of living with her for 4 years! She has always made our life so much more interesting! She is caring as well as quite the runner! Catie is a marathon runner, which is something we can say with great confidence, we will never be haha! Catie is also 1/3 of the ducklings!
Dawson Garcia
Groomsman
Dawson and Parker met at the University of Minnesota, and after multiple seasons playing basketball together, he became way more than just a teammate. Honestly, Daw was a huge reason I decided to come back for an eighth season — that’s the kind of impact he has. He’s a big dude with an even bigger heart, and he shows up for his people every single time. His parents, Dave and Stacey, have become close with our families, which makes it even more special. We’re both so fired up to have Daw be part of our big day. He’s unapologetically himself, and we already know he’s going to bring the energy from start to finish.
Madisyn Lyons
Bridesmaid
Madisyn and Taylor’s friendship started at Red Wing High School! They found each other and wouldn’t be separated after that moment. Maddie was there for Taylor always, whether it was jamming to Chris Brown in the school parking lot, to supporting her at hockey games! They have been long distance besties as Maddie went to college and has been working in the southern part of the country! Distance makes the heart grow fonder!
Chase Sullivan
Groomsman
Chase and I go way back — we grew up going to school together and playing just about every sport we could. We were tight all through high school and stayed close even after he headed to the University of Minnesota-Duluth. I’ll never forget the road trip he made to Aberdeen in a blizzard to watch me play. Over the years our families have gotten really close too, which makes it even more special. We honestly couldn’t imagine this day without him. Now he and his wife, Maddy, are living out in Bozeman, Montana, doing life together out there. He’s the ultimate Swiss Army knife kind of guy — can do a little bit of everything — and knowing him, he probably actually has one in his pocket.
Josh Anderson
Officiant
Josh and I have been best buddies since we were kids. He’s the kind of friend you always want in your corner — the guy who’ll go to bat for you without even thinking twice. He’s an absolute riot to be around and somehow makes every hangout better. And when it comes to yard games? World-class. Bags, spikeball, you name it — he’s competing like there’s a trophy on the line. But more than anything, he’s loyal, steady, and one of the best guys I know. Over the years, Taylor has really gotten to know Josh too, and it’s meant a lot to both of us. We’re so proud that he’s the one marrying us — there’s no one we’d trust more to stand up there with us on such a big day.
Nathan Heise

Ryan Heise

Ryan one of the brothers of the bride. He just finished up his sophomore basketball season at Winona State University. He plans to continue to play the sport he loves and get a great education as well! Ryan is a funny and caring guy who brings the height to any conversation :)
