Wedding Party

Allie Schamburg

Maid of Honor

Allie spent most of her childhood sharing a room with Ashley. Little sis has a habit of doing what big sis does, and vise versa- they both played tennis & basketball growing up, both went to Mizzou, joined Delta Gamma, and were both Business majors in college. Now they both own similar dogs and are planning weddings together, and don’t plan on stopping copying each other anytime soon 💗 They spend the majority of their PTO taking trips together, and FaceTime multiple times a day. Sisters by blood, BEST FRIENDS by choice!!!

Dominic Pica

Best Man

Dom & Michael frequented the principles office at Marquette High School & quickly became like brothers due to their trouble making nature. Throughout college and to present day, these two Italians continue to tear up the town & wreak havoc. If you ever have a question about what restaurant you should go to when visiting St. Louis, do not ask Dom, unless you want to be not only disappointed, but angry. Dominic will be taking on a new challenge in Kansas City by the time of the wedding, where he will continue to give out bad recommendations on restaurants.

Abigail Graham

Bridesmaid

Ashley and Abby met freshmen year in the dorms when Ashley rudely asked to borrow Abby’s new boots without introducing herself first. Abby said no but later realized how cool Ashley was, and they became best friends and totally inseparable. 7 years later, and Abby let’s Ashley borrow her shoes now (and watches her niece Pen for ash whenever she can)😊 Among all that they share- you can catch Ashley and Abby sharing a bottle of Kim Crawford Sauv Blanc on most Friday nights.

Alex Limpert

Best Man

Alex & Michael were in the same schools from Kindergarten all the way to graduation from the University of Missouri. The two roomed together for what's known in college as a victory lap (5th year) and boy, was that one for the books. From that 5th year came one of the best things in Alex's life, a child named Mya. Although Michael & Alex took on the new puppy as dual fathers, Michael was too selfish to have a child in his life that soon, & the couple soon split up, leaving Alex as a single father. Nowadays the two enjoy golfing, letting their dogs play together, & long walks on the beach.

Danielle Ferri

Bridesmaid

Ashley and Dani have been best friends since freshmen year of college where they would sing duets together extremely loud... and still do all of the time. Whether it’s in the car, on one of their many vacations to Boston or Nashville, or in front of their favorite audience- Michael! They enjoy singing everything from Ariana Grande, Kacey Musgraves, and Dixie Chicks, to Chris Young... but their personal favorite is “Superhuman” by Chris Brown and Kerri Hilson (Dani is always Chris and Ashley is Kerri).

Sam Krueger

Best Man

Sizzlin' Sam Krueger & Michael went to high school & were in Phi Delta Theta at The University of Missouri together. After realizing they had a common understanding & wealth of knowledge in the complex field of drinking some damn bourbon, the two hit it off & have remained incredibly close despite the long distance relationship. Nowadays, Sam & Michael get together as often as possible (concerts, vacations, etc.) & are always there for each other through life’s challenges.

Andrea Hessler

Bridesmaid

Andrea and Ashley met freshmen year after joining Delta Gamma and we’re bffs right off the bat. Andrea would make CDs for Ashley’s car and they would blast music through Greek Town together. Andrea picked Ashley up from Phi Delt after Michael and Ashley’s first date blasting their favorite song “Ain’t Gonna Tie Me Down” by New Boyz. We still blast that song in the car but are “tied down” by Michael and Dave now!

Austin Schamburg

Groomsman

Ashley fed Austin mashed bananas, and changed his diapers when he was a baby! Talk about unconditional love...! Austin grew up with 3 “moms” constantly doting on him, and big sis still dotes on him. However, in recent years they have become absolute best friends despite their 9 year age difference. Austin and Michael spend a lot of time playing golf and video games together, and are like brothers! They are finally making the title “brother” official!!!

Bree Hershfeld

Bridesmaid

Ashley and Bree met in Chemistry class in high school where they spent more time talking to each other than learning(and got in trouble for it). Neither Bree or Ashley got very good grades in that class(sorry mom and dad), and couldn’t tell you much about the periodic table BUT they gained more in becoming besties. They’ve spent countless summers at the lake together, and have remained best friends regardless of distance!

Casey O’Reilly

Groomsman

Casey & Michael were introduced to eachother via the Schamburg girls. As a man from the northlands, Casey is a die hard Packers fan & is forced to root for the less than stellar Milwaukee Brewers. These two lads have become very close over the past 5 years, traveling together on various vacations & listening to the girls argue about god knows what. They’ve bonded over their love for Whethan, football, and the gorgeous Schamburg women.

Shannon Byrne

Bridesmaid

During Senior year of college at Mizzou, Michael and Alex (Shan’s boyfriend) lived together and got a puppy named Mya together. Shan and Ashley would battle over custody of Mya, and due to Michael not being ready to be a father- custody went to Alex and Shan after graduation. Ashley is now lovingly referred to by Mya as step-mom/Titi. Ashley and Shan have been best friends for years, and spend most weekends playing with Mya and Penny together, or grilling at each others houses.

David Large

Groomsman

David & Michael go all the way back to middle school, where they constantly were at eachothers throats. This continued through high school, as 1 week before graduation the two got in a scuffle & David walked in front of the entire school with a black eye at the graduation ceremony. Though they went to different colleges, after graduation the two rekindled their love. David recently graduated from law school, so Michael thought it would be a good idea to keep him around with his track record. Dave is Ashley and Michael’s go-to for a good time and great advice.

Maria Mainini

Bridesmaid

For the earliest part of Maria's life, she played the unfortunate roll of Michael's younger sister. These two were notorious for fighting on family vacations, before school, after school, before bed, at dinner, at lunch, during breakfast, at church you name it! As they've gotten older they've become much closer & have become best friends. Michael is very fortunate to have had such a tough younger sister who taught him many life lessons. Maria is also very fortunate to have learned how to play Call of Duty at such a high level from Michael. Maria & Ashley are "double sisters" as they both were in the sorority Delta Gamma and are now finally going to be “real” sisters!

Peter Birk

Groomsman

Michael & Peter both graduated from the University of Missouri together, though they were in different fraternities. Seeing eachother almost every weekend now, Michael has become aware of how Peter manages to keep him slim, fit young apperance. He regularly eats cucumber salads sometimes as much as 3 times per day. The guy absolutely loves cucumber. Cucumber & finance. The two spend their weekends playing poker and drinking fine whiskeys.

Bri Gannon

Bridesmaid

Bri and Ashley were roommates throughout college, and spent many nights dancing in their rooms to Beyoncé music videos. Ashley was one of Bri’s first calls when she found out she was pregnant with Maddox, and loves watching him grow up and remain best friends with Bri through many phases of life. They still dance to Beyoncé together, but have added Maddox to our dance party 😊

Patrick Waller

Groomsman

Patrick & Michael met at Mizzou. Patrick joined Phi Delta Theta with Michael during the spring semester of the freshman year. Throughout college they visited several other universities & had a blast burning down the towns they invaded. They've maintained their friendship after college despite Patrick's unwaivering love for Notre Dame. Once upon a time, after the Irish took their usual beating, Michael made the big mistake of telling Ol' Patty Potatoes that his Irish we're the worst team on the planet. That's when everyone learned why they call them "The fighting Irish."

Krystle Barker

Bridesmaid

Michael played the unfortunate roll of little brother to Krystle throughout his younger years. Naive & gullible, Michael fell victim to his older sister on many occasions. She taught him many things, such as the "real rules" of rock paper scissor. Basically, Scissors beat rock, rock beat paper, & paper clearly beat scissors, as long as Krystle had the winning hand. When Krystle & Ashley & Michael all get together, Michael usually has a hard time getting a word in as the girls hit it off so well. One of the first times the girls met, they nearly fought eachother over a spoon in the game of spoons.

Alen Yakovlev

Groomsman

Alen & Michael have known eachother since elementary school. The two have been through many of lifes phases together, as they went to school together all the way until Alen moved to California during college. Despite the long distance, they stay in touch & get together whenever possible. The amount of stories that could be told in this space are endless.

Noelle Eldin

Bridesmaid

Noelle and Ashley met freshmen year of college on spring break at PCB. They started dating Michael and Sam around the same time, and spent their weekends attending formals together, ordering Jingos on the couch of the boys’ Brookside apartment, and everything in between. Since college- they have become best friends and spend weekends visiting one another, and going on vacations! Pictured with Ashley and Noelle is their favorite monkey- cuuuuutieeee.

Dan Barger

Groomsman

Dan & Michael met their Freshman year at Mizzou. Dan rushed Phi Delta Theta the spring semester that year. Dan taught Michael what the true meaning of love is by setting his example with the Buffalo Bills. This passion in Dan's relationship set a good foundation for the love between Michael & Ashley. Nowadays, the guys live close together in Brentwood, much too close to Double D's & OB Clarks.

Joe Hallemier

Usher

Joe & Michael were pledge brothers & roommates through the majority of college. Joe & Michael are keen to a good time, & hit it off during their freshman year at the fraternity. Joe was recently married & had his bachelor party in Montreal, creating a good blue print of what bachelor partys are all about. Also, if you are lucky enough to see Joe cutting up the dance floor at the wedding, ask him about his famous "cheeks picture," you won't be disappointed.

Madison Blake

Guestbook Attendant

Jordan Lommel

Guestbook Attendant

Penny Lynn Mainini

Pup of Honor

She’s our daughter. Has a very wet nose and loves everyone she meets. Breath does not smell the best, but she makes up for it with her outstanding personality and looks.

Olivia Guandique

Wedding Designer

Ashley and Olivia met on their way to a soccer camp together sophomore year of high school when Ashley walked right up to Olivia and asked her why her eyebrows were darker than her hair (OMG RUDE). They immediately became best friends, and spent the rest of high school hanging out every weekend- having sleepovers, driving around in the bug, and going to the lake! Olivia was one of Ashley’s first calls when she got engaged- and Ashley always knew she would ask Olivia to do her floral for her wedding!
