Jackie & Travis
Wedding Party
Mike S.
Best Man
The man who introduced me to the best years of Elvis. Mike and I met while working at Staples-Motley High School in 2012, where our working relationship turned into a true friendship while on the job. We've shared career personal bests, many nautical miles, and revel in quotes from "Draft Day" and "Moneyball." I couldn't have asked for a better situation to be in; working for and with my best friend.
Angela
Matron of Honor
Years ago, Angela met Jackie and had recruited her to work for her team. It didn't take long before they realized they shared a love for coffee, Byerly's desserts and The Limited. They became friends quickly. They used to have to "dibs" new articles of clothing before they both showed up to work wearing the same outfit. They shared unbelievable stories, endless snack breaks and hilarious inside jokes that brought them both to tears! Ang is the type of friend who has proven to be always ready for a bottle of wine (or more, lets be honest) and some great advice when Jackie has needed it the most.
Jake
Groomsman
Jake is my brother-in-law and father to my amazing nieces, Tessa and Letty. He's proven to be a great husband and father. Our relationship continues to grow as we age and I'm thankful to have him in my life.
Laura
Bridesmaid
At some point in all of our lives everyone can relate to the anxiety of meeting your future in-laws for the first time. You hope they like you, you worry that you won't fit in and you fear what will happen if you don't. When Travis introduced Jackie to his sister Laura that anxiety immediately washed away. The friendship that blossomed felt so easy and natural. Laura is funny, eternally optimistic, knows how to have a good time, and loves a game of cards just as much as Jackie does! Laura is an incredible mother to Travis's goddaughter's Tessa and Letty. Laura's patience and love for her daughters makes parenting look like a breeze and she is an incredible role model for Travis & Jackie's future family. Travis gave Jackie the bonus-sister she has always wished for.
Mike E.
Groomsman
Mike is my closest cousin on the V.O. side of the family. We've shared great times together on our annual family reunion retreat to Lake Miltona; where we've shared very meaningful, and silly, discussions around the fire ring. He's a wonderful cousin, husband, father, and a great friend.
Ross
Bridesman
Years ago Jackie met Ross during her college days while they both waited tables. There are some friendships that just can't be denied and Ross and Jackie's is one of those. Ross's dry sense of humor, quick wit and easy conversation are just some of the reason's why Jackie and him are such a good match. Jackie and Ross have spent countless hours meandering through Target shopping end-cap sales, they share a bad habit of ordering far too many menu items and sharing them buffet style, and binge-watching Netflix and Hulu tv shows. Ross has been one of the best friends in Jackie's life for many years and will continue for as long as there will be board games and cheese plates. (That means forever because those things will never go away, duh)
Josh
Bridesman
From puzzle rooms to tomato ties at Buca di Beppo, this long time friend has been a supportive friend of Jackie's for more years than she can remember. Josh moved to town from Illinois and met Jackie as one of his first Minnesota friends! They share a love of YA movies, crying during the previews, catching a show at the Orpheum, and petting the cat's at Petsmart after happy hour (those usually ended up with Josh adopting a cat). Josh has been an incredible friend and steady support while Jackie navigated her twenties and grew up. Cat themed game nights, pirate jokes and walks around Lake Nokomis are just a few of their favorite things!
Rhett
Groomsman
Rhett (Chappy) and I have been best buds since our Holy Redeemer School years. We've hunted almost everything a small farm in SW MN has to offer. We've always been handy with the steel and became deadeyes at a quick rate. Whether it's a quick round of golf, a visit to the barn, the shop, or an evening at his place...I value our time and friendship together.
Robin
Bridesmaid
Robin and Jackie met as coworkers years ago and became best friends while bonding over the unbelievable daily events that occurred there. You can't make this stuff up however those memories make for great stories! No matter how many miles in between us, this California girl is only a phone call away! Robin will be the first one to cheer Jackie on and the first to pick her up when she is down. She is also a talented hair stylist and is to credit for Jackie's long locks! Friends like Robin are rare and Jackie is grateful she has been able to be a part of her special day.
Paul
Groomsman
Paul is Angela's (Matron of Honor) husband. I met Paul on various "couples" nights where a deeper friendship began. He likes to hunt and fish, as do I, and so it was... He's been a good "bow" mentor, friend, and I'm thankful the Coffey's are in our lives.
Lisa
Bridesmaid
Lisa and Jackie met during their service industry days through mutual friends. We became closer when we took our first of many vacations together in Mexico. Lisa is one of the kindest and most generous human beings. She will never forget a birthday, she will drive across the twin cities to spend a couple hours of time with you just to catch up, and she will always have a feast ready when you stop by her house. Lisa's family consists of her fiance Rob and her furbaby Dusty. Both jackie and Lisa are established members of the "Crazy Dog Lady" club and no one can quite relate to them like each other. Jackie cannot wait to share in more memories as they come as there will many more adventures for these travel buddies!
