Wedding Party
Mya Wood
Bride
Lover of plants, dogs, Taylor Swift, and Tim. (in no particular order lol)
Timothy Drescher
Groom
Half of my days are spent at work, they other half are spent chasing Mya around while Ollie is close behind shouting, "DAD DAD DAD DAAAAD." When I have free time I try to get the canoe out and go fishing with Mya and Ollie, we can also be found terrorising the local New Prague golf courses!
Breana Peyton
Maid of Honor
We met only a few years ago but became each other's ride or die after our first coffee date at Caribou. We started our friendship by sharing a love for Taylor Swift, which changed into a lifelong friendship and a sister I never knew I needed. Bre and her husband just got married, too, which is another thing we have been very excited to do together!
Stewart Udvig
Best Man
Stewart and I go way back to elementary school where we first met on a park bridge where he told me to shut up and go away, we have been best friends ever since! Stewart and his wife Auna are expecting a little one this summer! They have a full household with their teenage son Logan and two giant vocal huskies Winnie and Nala.
Abby Steele
Bridesmaid
We met through Tim and Evan, obviously, but aside from laughing at them together when they bicker like an old married couple, I really enjoy the friendship I've gained, and I am very grateful to call Abby my friend.
Evan Steele
Groomsman
Evan and I met at a different park, it all started with making weird noises at eachother and him coming over to hang out without ever telling his parents, classic Evan. He spends his extra time with his wife Abby, their two kids, and their dog Tenley when hes not "teaching" or being a "firefighter."
Ava Nee
Bridesmaid
Works as a paramedic with Mya and Tim. She is also a firefighter and has the softest bunny ever. Ava and Mya became quick friends and have been inseparable since, which Tim seems to tolerate (JK).
Brady Drescher
Groomsman
Brother from the same mother, Brady spends most of his time being chased around and harrased by Oliver. When he is not being harrased he enjoys kicking back, playing video games, basketball and golf.
Hannah Maloney
Bridesmaid
Hannah and Mya met in high school in their EMT class and ended up working for Allina together a whole bunch of years later. Hannah now works as a critical care paramedic and is KILLING IT.
Andy Radio
Groomsman
We like to sneak away and kiss behind the ambulance. We are not good at sneaking... Radio and I almost spend more time together than we do with our ladies. Radio and his wife Tanya have 4 kids, two dogs and still are able to spend time together. Radio is a guitarist for the band Impaler and absolutely despises Mariah Carey.
JD Bergquist
Mother of the Bride
Mom, best friend, therapist, doggie grandma, rock, and biggest supporter. I would not be the person I am today if not for my amazing mom.
Kara Drescher
Mother of the Groom
My mother's favorite thing to do is have the grandkids over for sleepovers and taking them all to as many parks as she can find! She is the best mother and grandmother to all of us and would love to fill you in on our crazy childhood shenanigans! Her favorite hobbies are shell hunting on the beaches of Florida and going for a boat ride down the St. Croix.
Goose
Ring Bearer
Mya and Tim adopted Goose a couple of years into the relationship. He is the best boy in the whole world, and he absolutely knows this and uses that to his FULL advantage. He is a big guy with an even bigger personality, but he is truly so gentle. Pro Tip: His favorite spot for pets is behind his ears or patting his butt
Randy Drescher
Father of the Groom
My Dad will always go out of his way to help fix the house up, give yard advice, and tell you the only proper beer to drink is a Coors Light. He will fight to the end of earths days that fruit does not belong in beer. His hobbies include taking the boat out on St. Croix, watching the grandkids and doing any kind of yard work!
Lilah
Doggie of honor
Mya's first dog. Lilah was rescued and brought home at 4 months. She and Mya have been a package deal since day 1. She may be terrified of loud noises and claw clips and water, and wine glasses, and bridges, and....... You get it. She makes up for it by being the sweetest girl; she loves everyone she meets. Pro Tip: Her favorite spot for pets is behind her ears
Oliver Drescher
Groom's escort
Oliver is 5. His favorite things include his dad, Minecraft, dinosaurs, and Pokémon. Yes, in that order. He is super excited to dance the night away (until his bedtime) with everyone.
Colette Brunelle
Officiant
Mya and Tim met Colette through work. They all spent many early mornings/ late nights around the table talking about the outrageous calls and stories they all have, and became very close. We couldn't think of anyone more perfect to officiate our wedding.
Aliya Fritts
Day of Coordinator
Aliya met Tim and Mya through work, of course, and quickly became one of our favorite people to be around. Aliya is also getting married this fall to her fiance Duncan, and they have Luna, the cutest rescue pup you've ever seen.
