Wedding Party
Aubrey
Maid of Honor
Jonna and Aubrey met working together at Paws on Pingree doggie daycare, where they found a love for animals, and overtime evolved into the friendship of a lifetime. We became best friends through bonding over our chaotic work environment. They started to hang out every Monday while our dogs got to have a playdate in the backyard. Although we don't get to hangout as much as we would like we still catch up through out the week with our video rants we send back and forth. Today Jonna can't imagine having Aubrey by her side on the happiest day of her life!
Cortlan
Best Man
Cortlan is Brady's oldest brother. Cortlan maximized the definition of an older brother to the fullest ability. He was always there for Brady in both the highest and lowest moments of his life.
Kayla
Maid of Honor
Kayla and Jonna met on their travel soccer team in high school and then became really close friends the year after high school ended. They took a spontaneous trip to Florida with friends and the rest was history and since then have became the bestest of friends. Kayla moved away to California and Jonna moved to North Carolina and they stayed in touch over Facetime which they still do today since Kayla lives in Arizona now. Jonna couldn't be more proud of Kayla becoming a mother in the past year!
Danny
Best Man
Danny is Brady's older brother. Danny is the closer one to age with Brady so he was able to watch over him throughout elementary to high school. Danny has been Brady's biggest role model throughout sports and helping him become the man he is today. Their is no one in the world that would do more for Brady than himself.
Audra
Bridesmaid
Audra is Jonna's oldest sister. Within the past 3 years Audra was given the nickname Bissy (big sissy) which she hates but loves. Jonna is still mad at Audra from cutting her bangs before her 3rd grade picture day so the nickname stays. Audra is has been by Jonna's side through some of the toughest days of her life. We share so many inside jokes such as the apple bowling ball and the time Audra dropped a whole pizza on the ground and stepped on it and put it back in the box. Despite our 14 year age gap that never stopped us from being best friends.
Mitchell
Groomsman
Mitchell and Brady met well before High School playing hockey together. Mitchell has been the most inspiring person and someone Brady looks up to even tho Brady is older. He has the heart of an angel and the developed a friendship of a lifetime with Brady. He has become a brother to Brady.
Nikki
Bridesmaid
Nikki is also Jonna's older sister. Nikki has been an amazing role model to Jonna by showing her what a happy marriage looks like. Through the loss of their mother, they leaned on each other and became strong loving independent women. After the years of traumatizing each other, fighting over clothes, popsicles, and what movie to watch, through it all they never let each other down, becoming best friends into their adulthood.
Zack
Groomsman
Zack and Brady met in high school and became great friends in college. After college Zack moved to Illinois to work with Brady at Rainbow Play Systems where they bonded and lived together and became family! It's important that Zack stands by Brady on this important day.
Anna
Bridesmaid
McHenry County College brought Jonna and Anna together. Our teacher Mr. Gru gave us lots of laughs and testing anxiety. Anna and Jonna took their friendship outside of the classroom, throwing bonfire parties and going on crazy adventure at 10 at night. And whatever else crazy college kids do.
Austin
Groomsman
Elise
Bridesmaid
Elise is Brady's sister-in-law, and over the past years Elise and Jonna have been sharing laughs with the Johnston family. Elise recorded the day that Jonna and Brady got engaged and before Brady even pulled the ring out Jonna looks up and says "Elise why are you crying" and then it happened.
Easton
Groomsman
Ry
Bridesmaid
Jonna's little slice of Ry bread. We survived one of the most traumatic friendship breakup with our mutual friend, which was a blessing in disguise. Because after our 24 hour car ride home together, we laughed and cried and became best friends. Ry has continued to show up for Jonna over and over again. We have the most fun and laughs on our adventures.
Erik
Groomsman
Erik is the life of the party if you feel awkward dancing on the dance floor look for this guy, he is a stranger to no one. Erik and Brady met right away when Erik moved to St. Cloud. They connected immediately. They also both had two older brothers who played hockey together, meaning they were able to cause trouble at the rink during their games. Erik quickly became the little brother Brady never had.
