Madeline & Tim
Wedding Party
Bailey Burgess
Maid of Honor
Bailey is Madeline's 5 years younger twin, who also claims to be the funnier sister. They somehow managed to live in the same room for 18 years and come out as close as can be. Bailey is to thank for trying to make Madeline less basic, but often fails. Bailey's contribution of roasting Tim wedding night is anticipated and appreciated. She will always be Madeline's best friend and chief confidante, whether she likes it or not.
Maria Graziano
Bridesmaid
Maria started off a little wary of Maddy after she pushed her little brother off of a chair in Pre-K. Luckily that was not enough to prevent them from becoming inseparable early on and remaining that way through life, including celebrating a birthday together every year. Maddy thanks Maria for nearly 20 years of best-friendship and also for putting up with her neurotic planning throughout the wedding process. She couldn't do it (or pretty much anything) without her. She would also like everyone to know that she is three hours older than Maria.
Kelsey Narkevic
Bridesmaid
Kelsey and Maddy met during high school cheerleading, where their friendship blossomed during cheer camp. Maddy would not let Kelsey sleep the entire week and she somehow remained best friends with her until this day. Kelsey and Maddy share a similar joy for life, cocktails and traveling, and oftentimes have way too much fun together. Kelsey is responsible for getting every guest on the dance floor during the wedding while remaining in her 12 inch heels. She is also required to move back to Pittsburgh after the wedding so that they can hang out every day.
Michelle Nochlin
Bridesmaid
Michelle and Maddy were next door roommates during the Kohl's summer internship in 2013 and became v close. From there, they took on post grad life in Milwaukee, where they lived together for three years and spent most of their time at Jack's American pub. Maddy thanks Michelle for talking to her on the phone every day for the rest of their lives and being the best long distance relationship there ever was. Oh and also for giving Tim Maddy's number. We all have you to thank for being here, although the MOB likes to take most of the credit.
Katie Ritchie
Bridesmaid
Katie and Maddy met Freshman year at Marquette in McCormick Hall (RIP). The following year they would go on to study abroad in London together, to seal the deal on their future lifelong friendship. Katie shares Maddy's lack of direction, so their European travels were often interesting. Katie is the nicest person in the friend group and will never get phased out. She will soon be Dr. Ritchie soon and Maddy very much values her life advice as well as her fashion advice.
Carly Schwab
Bridesmaid
Carly and Maddy became friends in college and decided to live in the same building after graduating, because they could not possibly live more than a floor or two away from each other. Maddy and Carly love to travel together including trips to Thailand, Banff and of course the cabin up North with the Schwab's. Although Maddy never successfully learned to water ski up there, she does not blame Carly for it. Carly's taste in a music can't be beat and she will be responsible for the party bus playlist.
Leann Walko
Bridesmaid
Leann and Maddy became best friends during high school cheerleading, when Maddy oftentimes made sure Leann wasn't falling out of dangerous stunts. Bridesmaids Kelsey, Maria, Leann and Maddy spent their high school years frequenting the local diner, Steak and Shake, and attempting more dangerous stunts in Leann's family living room. The four of them plan on living on the same street someday. Maddy is very happy to be back in Pittsburgh with Leann, and the enjoy long walks around Scally's with her pupper, Leo.
Rachel Witt
Bridesmaid
Rachel and Maddy were paired as random Freshman year roommates and it would end up being the best thing to happen to Maddy in college. They ended up living together for all four years and would eat/drink way too much gluten during that time. Maddy thanks Rachel for dealing with her messy habits and Disney Pixar stuffed animals. They share many similarities, some including getting overly angry at their sports teams and indulging in gluten free treats. Maddy still remembers the night when Rachel ate her pizza. Go Big Red.
Jeff Poellmann
Best Man
Jeff is the brother of the groom. He is Tim's only brother, and took the fall on allergies, sinus infections, and poor vision. His participation is greatly appreciated.
Riley Burgess
Groomsman
Riley is Madeline's older brother, and also Tim's tennis and golf partner on the weekends when he isn't giving away free pickleball paddles in Thornburg.
Kelly Burgess
Groomsman
Kelly is Madeline's younger brother, and also spiritually the oldest person at the wedding.
Adam Simons
Groomsman
Adam and Tim lived together in college. Not only did they ace Political Theory together, but Adam owns an Aaron Rodgers jersey signed by Tim. College was productive.
Adrian Jaramillo
Groomsman
Adrian went to high school and played soccer with Tim, often at the same time. They mostly harass each other about their soccer teams, despite Adrian spending a significant amount of his childhood defending Tim on the field. He's also Attie's twin.
Attie Jaramillo
Groomsman
Attie went to high school and played tennis with Tim, we won't make the same joke twice. They enjoy long talks about housing policy. He's also Adrian's twin.
Pat Hardt
Groomsman
Pat and Tim met in Milwaukee, where they'd play dice and yell at TV's in dive bars. Pat is responsible for at least 3 major coach firings in Wisconsin sports history.
Tyler Bloom
Groomsman
Tyler and Tim also met in Milwaukee, where they frequented many happy hours and 9am soccer games together. Tyler will also be handling music at the reception, and he'll be hard to miss.
Maura Sevier-Burgess
Mother of the Bride
Tim and Maddy thank Maura for having the entire wedding planned the night of the engagement. But really, the day would not be possible without her passion for family, excitement for the new time in their lives and for being the ultimate entertainer. Her promotional products, cost cutting recommendations and overall love for the couple are more than appreciated. Maura is permitted to take credit for Tim and Madeline dating only during the day of the wedding.
Ed Burgess
Father of the Bride
Ed, otherwise known as Daddio, would prefer the couple get married on the empty lot next to the house. Unfortunately the couple decided to go a different direction. Ed is known for his goofy sense of humor and lack of dance moves, although he will be required to be on the dance floor for the big night. He also could take it easy on Tim on the tennis court.
Judy Poellmann
Mother of the Groom
Jude is one of a kind. Maddy and Tim thank her for her calm demeanor and endless wisdom / beer supply during the wedding planning process. Maddy is also thrilled to have Judy as a fellow beer connoisseur, work-out class enthusiast and most importantly the best mother-in-law a girl could ask for.
Tom Poellmann
Father of the Groom
Maddy and Tim are thankful for Tom throughout this process, as his help has been more kind and appreciated than his driving lessons in high school. Maddy also thinks Tom is very concerned about the NFL allegiances of his future grand kids.
Beckham Poellmann
Ring Bearer
Beckham is Tim's oldest nephew and most popular member of the wedding party.
Sawyer Poellmann
Ring Bearer
Sawyer is Tim's youngest nephew, and with the nickname Bam Bam, is the true ring security in this group.
