Terese & Joe
Wedding Party
Gabriela Gonzalez
Maid of Honor
Lubby is the funniest, most confident, outgoing person I've ever met. She is my little sister, and best friend. Wise beyond her years, Lubby also has a contagious joy and passion for life. She is endlessly supportive, incredibly selfless, and somehow so very present to dozens of people, all at once. She's also Nina's favorite friend and confidant, and Jay's godmother.
Joshua Herbeck
Best Man
Mr. Gets Away with Everything
Giuliana Ahlers
Bridesmaid
My partner in crime and saving grace through some of life's craziest moments. My favorite poet and fellow Y2K music enthusiast. Fun fact: Giuli also has a twin, Michael who tutored us through years of high school physics and had the distinct honor of witnessing our many photoshoots out by the pool and in the kitchen, as I poured myself a refill of granola cereal in half & half milk. Michael’s also recently engaged to now fiancé Dana (wohoooo!)
Matthew Quinn
Best Man
Mr. Mom
Catherine Fiebig
Bridesmaid
Cath is my cousin/sister/best friend. She and I got really close during her high school years/my college years. She is such an AMAZING role model for our kids, and I always say I hope Nina turns out to be a lot like her.
Nathen Hayes
Groomsman
Mr. Gets Me Into Trouble
Arianna Vernier
Bridesmaid
Anna and I grew up together in Michigan, before I moved to Nicaragua in 5th grade. She was the first friend I met when we moved to our Ypsilanti home, and she's been stuck with me ever since. We've grown from bike buddies, to moms just trying to figure it out. She's one of my oldest and closest friends.
Christopher Dalian
Groomsman
Mr. Gets Me Out of Trouble
Caroline Leger
Bridesmaid
Carrie is Joe's baby sister, and bestie. She's the only one who I'm allowed to gang up on Joe with, and her sparkly career at Ulta makes her a cosmetic expert. She's the first one to ever get Nina high-end hair care, and she's our first call whenever we need new show or music recommendations. Carrie is also the sweetest and most caring auntie, and loves coming over to just spend time with us and our kiddos. Love you Carrie!
Matthew Kolevar
Groomsman
Mr. Vibe Check
Nicole Schuiling
Bridesmaid
Nikki is Joe's oldest sister. She lives in Naperville, IL with her four boys (Jack, Ben, Max and Charlie) and husband Steve (Jay's godfather). Nikki somehow manages to juggle four boys, a clean house, dedicated prayer time, a regular fitness regimen, while also being the most enthusiastic and supportive wife. She is always so joyful and eager to give to those around her. Love you Nikki!
Steven Schuiling
Groomsman
Mr. Reliable
Annie Keating
Bridesmaid
Annie is one of Joe's older sisters. She lives in Chicago with her husband, Luke and adorable son Henry. She is one of the most supportive women I know, and is incredibly inspiring as a professional, mother, and wife. Love you, Annie!
Jack Anderson
Groomsman
Mr. Fashionably Late
Ana Gonzalez
Bridesmaid
Ana's an incredible baker! She just finished her freshman year of college, and has become almost entirely independent in just 10 short months. Happiest when she's serving others, Ana has a big heart and an ambitious drive. She's is the 6th out of the 9 of us, and 3rd girl.
Miguel Gonzalez

Ivania Zamora
Bridesmaid
The lifesaver who showed me how to blow dry my hair in high school, while we spent hours getting ready for early club days in Nicaragua. Iva is also a certified Yoga instructor and is getting married to the love her life, a month after us - in COLOMBIA! Fun fact: her fiancé is a professional Colombian golfer, which was naturally the first thing he and Joe bonded over when they met.
