Wedding Party
Paige Obradovich
Bride
Hi there! For those who don't know me, I graduated from Arrowhead High School and Marquette University. I'm now a CPA at Deloitte in the Greater Washington Area. If you told 17 year old me that I would marry the awkward boy who walked me to class everyday, I would NEVER believe you, but I'm unbelievably grateful to be marrying my best friend who happens to also be the most selfless and loving man in the world! I can't wait to have all of our people in one place. We love you, and we look forward to celebrating the most special day of our lives with you!!
Michael Riege
Groom
Hi everyone! I am super excited to share Paige and I's special day with you all. A little bit about me; I graduated from Arrowhead High School and from the United States Air Force Academy. I currently serve as a Civil Engineer Officer at Joint Base Andrews, MD. I am also a proud survivor of the friend zone... Paige had me stuck there for a couple years, but I made it out and here we are. I'm looking forward to marrying the smartest and kindest woman I have ever met. That's all I've got, get ready for a great night of dancing and celebrating!
Rachel Janzer
Maid of Honor
Rachel has been my (Paige's) best friend since the 8th grade!! We met at North Shore Middle School at age 13. Rachel graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and now is a CPA at KPMG in Chicago. She enjoys traveling, golfing, and long walks (aka HGW)! I have always said that Rachel is a "Ray" of sunshine in my life!
Noah Swindlehurst
Best Man
I (Michael) met Noah during Basic Cadet Training, and we have been best friends ever since. Roommates, golf buddies, and playing Xbox all night -- we did it all together at school. Since graduation, Noah has moved to San Antonio to begin RPA training, but that hasn't stopped the friendship.
Molly Kerrigan
Bridesmaid
I walked into my dorm room on day 1 at Marquette University to see that my new roommate brought a Costco sized box of green beans to college... I knew I was in for a treat. Molly and I lived together during my entire time at Marquette. Molly is now a tax accountant at Deloitte in San Francisco, so I spend every workday distracting her via Skype pings. If you're feeling competitive at our reception, ask Molly to race you in a beer drinking competition, but be prepared to lose... Fun Fact: Molly predicted this marriage before Paige even realized she had a crush on Michael!
Matthew Riege
Groomsman
Matthew is my "big" brother and lives in Greece with his wife, Katie, and two children, Kellen and Malia. Matthew's career in the Navy was an inspiration for me to serve. Our preferred method of communication over the years has been Twitter memes and our picks for the week.
Adrienne Race
Bridesmaid
Adrienne and I met in 2013 during Hawkettes tryouts at Arrowhead High School. We danced together for 4 years at Arrowhead and Accent on Dance. Adrienne graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and now attends Dental School at Marquette University (Go Golden Eagles!!). Adrienne has always been known to LOVE teeth (obviously) and Reese's peanut butter cups!
Justin Riege
Groomsman
Justin is my older brother and lives in Bay View with his wife (Amber), son (Mason), and adorable dog (Alice). If you see him around at the wedding, he'll be the guy talking about crossfit. His son, Mason, is also a Groomsman.
Dominique Fortune
Bridesmaid
Dominique and I met during our 5th grade ABC basketball season. Fast forward to our freshman year at Arrowhead High School... Dom did not remember me, BUT we eventually became best friends during our time at AHS. Dom and Michael also became friends through Arrowhead basketball! Dominique graduated from Kansas University and now attends Marquette Law School (Go Golden Eagles!!!). When she is not at Eckstein Hall, Dom enjoys golfing, eating ice cream, and playing word games!
Mason Riege
Groomsman
Mason is my nephew and a student at Greendale High School. Mason is an athlete and loves all things sports. Growing up, Mason was always like a little brother to me. We went on many family trips up north together and always supported each other at sporting events.
Sidney Johnson
Bridesmaid
Sidney became friends with both Michael and I during high school. Sidney graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and hopes to attend PA school soon! As Sidney is friends with both the bride and groom individually, we are both honored to have her standing up with us. If you see someone overly excited about T-Pain's song "Buy U a Drank" on the dance floor, that's Sid!
Cole Grindberg
Groomsman
I met Cole during Basic Cadet Training at the Academy. Being the two tallest people, we had to stand next to each other for all of BCT without ever really meeting each other. During freshman year, we became friends quickly. Cole, Noah, and I could be found watching football at some bar in Colorado Springs every Sunday. When the Vikings played the Packers, it could get rowdy quick. Cole has since moved to Dayton, Ohio and serves as an Aquisitions Officer.
Amanda Iacullo
Bridesmaid
Another AHS Hawkette! I met Amanda when she moved from Georgia to Wisconsin and joined the Hawkettes team. We were inseparable throughout high school since we danced together at Accent on Dance and at Arrowhead. Amanda graduated from DePaul University and now works at Medline in Chicago. She enjoys baking and watching New Girl in her free time!
Aleck Sharma
Groomsman
Aleck and I have been friends since grade school where we played basketball together. High School basketball is what really brought us together as best friends. Capitol Drive Buffalo Wild Wings and shooting hoops was a weekly activity for us. Aleck went on to play college basketball after graduation and currently plays for Bethany Lutheran College in Minnesota.
Arianna Riege
Bridesmaid
Arianna is Michael's younger sister! She currently attends Florida Atlantic University and works in the pharmacy at Walgreens. In her free time, she enjoys going to the beach and spending time with friends!
Alec Obradovich
Groomsman
Alec is Paige's older brother! He lives in Hurley, WI where he raises many animals, including goats, chickens, sheep, and cows. He loves all things outdoors!
