Wedding Party
McKenna Meyer
Matron of Honor
McKenna and I met in high school, grew even closer in college, and lived together in Chicago in the midst of COVID. She's been by my side through every chapter of life. We've laughed, cried, and conquered just about everything together, and no matter what, she’s always been my rock. She gives the best advice, knows me better than anyone, and has the biggest heart. I’m so lucky she is my Matron of Honor!
Brandon Chebny
Best Man
Brandon and I have been best friends since we met in kindergarten at age five. Even though we went to different schools growing up, we were inseparable and have remained close ever since. I consider Brandon more than a friend-he's family. We share a deep bond and a passion for the Marine Corps, which has only strengthened our connection over the years. I couldn't imagine standing at the altar without him by my side.
Kathryn Nettleton-Grant
Bridesmaid
She may be my Tommy's sister, but from the start, she’s felt like family! She’s an incredible mom: a beautiful example of strength and grace and someone I’ve looked up to from the moment we met. As oldest daughters, we have so much in common. Her advice is always thoughtful and spot-on, and I’m so grateful for the bond we’ve built. I’m beyond happy to officially call her my sister!
William (Billy) Nettleton
Groomsman
Billy is my brother and while we may have been like oil and water growing up, time has shown us just how much we actually have in common. As we’ve gotten older, our bond has only grown stronger. He’s become someone I can always count on-whether it’s a quick call, a deep conversation, or a spirited debate. I’m grateful to have him not only as a groomsman, but as my older brother.
Kelli Franzen
Bridesmaid
Kelli and I go way back, having grown up together in the pool, swimming and playing water polo. It wasn’t until she recently moved to Arizona that we truly rekindled our friendship. Kelli is always up for a good time, and her laughter and energy are infectious. I’m so grateful for the strong bond we share and can’t wait to have her by my side on this special day!
Aaron Mitchell
Groomsman
Aaron and I met in the Marine Corps, where we quickly bonded over shared chaos, questionable decisions, and a mutual sense of humor only the military could forge. We may go weeks or months without talking, but every time we reconnect, it’s like no time has passed at all. Aaron has been a steady, loyal friend through it all—someone I can always count on when it really matters.
Arielle Cox
Bridesmaid
Arielle is pure sunshine wrapped in pink! She’s spunky, fun-loving, and always the life of the party. If there’s laughter in the room, she’s probably behind it. Her positivity is contagious, and she brings light and joy wherever she goes.
Alec Naessens
Groomsman
Alec and I first met when were leaving for boot camp. We weren’t in the same platoon, but luckily were brought back together at Marine Combat Training, where we quickly became close friends. Alec is the match to my gasoline-wherever we go, there’s guaranteed chaos and plenty of laughs. More importantly, he’s the kind of friend who would drop everything to be there in an emergency, no matter where he is or what’s going on.
Ana Williams
Bridesmaid
Ana was my best friend in college all because she liked my cheetah print nails! She has been by my side through thick and thin. Ana is the definition of an amazing friend-loyal, caring, and always ready with a smile, the best advice and wine. I’m so lucky to have her as part of this special day!
Erik Morris
Groomsman
I met Erik during Marine Combat Training through our mutual friend Alec, and we’ve been solid ever since. He’s one of the most genuine and caring people I know. Erik has a real talent for reading a room and always seems to know exactly what to say-whether it’s something sincere or something unhinged and hilarious. Through some of my toughest moments, he’s been a steady, dependable presence, and I’m truly grateful to have him as one of my groomsmen
Corinne Gajcak
Bridesmaid
Corinne has always been the life of the party, bringing energy and a great time wherever she went. Corinne has been such an amazing friend through so many different stages of life. Every time I come home to Chicago, it's always a joy to catch up with her, and I’m so grateful to have her by my side on this special day!
Collin Grever
Groomsman
Colin and I met in high school and have been great friends ever since. After high school, we even lived together, which came with plenty of laughs and unforgettable memories. One of our long-standing traditions is going to Buffalo Wild Wings on our birthdays and ordering every single flavor of wings. No matter the occasion, I always make it a priority to see him when I’m back home in Illinois. He’s been a constant in my life, and I couldn't imagine standing up here without him by my side as one of my groomsmen.
