Brianna & Jackson
Wedding Party
Hannah Losos
Maid of Honor
Hannah Losos is one of Brianna's best friends whom she met at The University of Northwestern-St. Paul back in 2012. Hannah is a fun, bubbly gal who has an eye for art and design. She also has one of the biggest hearts! Brianna and Hannah have had the privilege to own a home together in NE Minneapolis since 2019 and have even gone on several adventures around the world together!
Pennapa Strom
Bridesmaid
Pennapa (aka, Penny) was Brianna's randomly assigned roommate her freshman year at UNW. Before heading off to college, Brianna asked God to help her make a life-long friend, and Penny was that answer to prayer. One of the things Brianna cherishes most about Penny is her ability to bring out the best in people.
Laura Kessler
Bridesmaid
Laura is another one of Brianna's best friends. She also attended UNW, but somehow Brianna and Laura didn't meet until a couple of years after graduation in 2017. They were connected through a mutual friend because Laura was looking for a couple of roommates. Little did she know, Hannah and Bri would show up on her front steps and not leave for 2 years (with Laura's permission, of course)! After getting to know one another, Brianna and Laura realized they were one in the same: both introverted weirdos who love a nice glass of wine and crime shows. They even found out they were born at the same hospital!
Derek Fulton
Best Man
Derek has been there since the start, not only on account of being Jackson's only and oldest brother but also from being a friend, mentor, and role model. Though they may have fought a lot as kids Derek and Jackson have always enjoyed spending time with each other. Whether it was playing video games, being with friends, playing ball, or hanging out. Derek taught Jackson to be strong mentally and physically and was his inspiration getting into lifting weights and valuing physical fitness in high school. In fact, Derek was Jackson's inspiration for joining the Marines. Derek and Jackson went to boot camp, combat training, and job school together in 2009-2010. Eventually Derek accepted a job in Pennsylvania in 2017 and has lived there since. Though they are not physically close they still share the same values, sense of humor, and hobbies as they did when they were younger. Last but certainly not least, Derek is a strong Christian and has been an inspiration to Jackson to strengthen his own faith in Christ.
Dan Mickelson
Groom
Dan and Jackson met in middle school and have been best buds ever since. They met under interesting circumstances. Dan, always being a very outgoing and hyperactive kid was placed into a small class with a handful of kids that needed help with their coursework. Jackson, at the time was struggling with social anxiety and fitting in and was also placed in this same class. Dan's extroversion and social skills complemented Jackson's work ethic and introversion. Combined with their shared hobbies of cars, biking, getting into mischief, and shared sense of humor they have been best friends since. Ever since middle school they have been spending time and with and learning from one another. Their friendship grew from getting into hijinks and fantasizing about buying fancy cars and having a lot of money to talking about how they plan to raise their families, how to live a fulfilling life, and leading Christian life.
Noah Johnson
Groom
Noah and Jackson met through their mutual friend Dan. They all three were working at the same bank and once they met they have been great friends ever since. Having several things in common like military service, sense of humor, and values has allowed them to build a strong friendship and do things like go on vacations together, have some great laughs over some beers, or speculate about the economy. In fact, Jackson went with Noah a brewery one night for a beer where he met his now wife, Allie. Noah moved to Phoenix in 2020 and Jackson spent a month helping Noah make renovations on his home where he now lives with his wife and newborn baby girl, Sadie.
Bennett & Jacob Swenson
Ring Bearer
Bennett (8 y.o.) & Jacob (6 y.o.) are Brianna's spunky nephews. They love Legos, teenage mutant ninja turtles, hockey, and hanging out with their soon-to-be uncle Jackson. Watch out for these two as they make a fun entrance down the aisle!
