Bride
I am the oldest of the three sisters, and am SO excited to share this special day with them! I love Jesus, coffee, and spending time with family and friends. Saying YES to Kenan is the best decision I have ever made, and I can't wait for the rest of our lives <3
Groom
I am the youngest and funniest of three siblings. I enjoy drinking coffee, hanging out with friends, studying the bible and making corny jokes! I am excited to share this day with two other amazing couples, and marry my incredible fiancé, Sarah!! P.S. Why do melons have big weddings? Because they cantaloupe!!
Bride
Some call me Rachel, but I call me the wild child! Middle of my three lovely sisters, of course. My favorite place to be is outside in the warmer months of summer. If I could be doing anything right now I would be traveling the world climbing a mountain somewhere. My heart beats to the beauty of God's vast creation, from sunsets to sun rises, from the tallest peak to the lowest valley, from the home he's given me here in Waukesha to the communities all around the world that I've been able to be a part of. I am so thankful and blessed in the life God has given me, and beyond excited that I have Jake to live this life with. PEACE!!
Groom
I'm an audio geek who loves adventure and uncovering the mysteries of our Creator God. People often find me turning knobs and pushing buttons, chillin with buds or volunteering on the worship team at church. "Oh hey! There's Jake turning knobs and pushing buttons again!" they say. I can't wait to share my life with Rachel.
Bride
I am currently an Actuarial Science student at Carroll University. In my limited spare time away from schoolwork I love hanging out with my amazing fiancé, hiking, traveling, and all things art. I am the youngest of the three sisters and they are my best friends. I have especially looked up to Sarah who has been a big inspiration and role model in my life. They are both amazing, Godly women, and I am so happy that they have found (almost) just as amazing men to marry. God has blessed me more than I could have ever imagined by putting Austin in my life. I truly believe that God knew exactly the man I needed. I am beyond excited to marry my best friend and the love of my life. This day is going to be so special, and I cannot wait to have my sisters by my side as we marry our men!
Groom
I am the older brother to my sister Autumn and brother Alex who are extremely important people in my life. I recently moved to Waukesha to attend school at WCTC (and being closer to Beth is definitely a plus). I enjoy playing and listening to music, spending quality time with Beth, and cooking. I have gotten to know the other brides and grooms and am excited to be a part of this amazing family. I have been patiently waiting to marry Beth for over 3 years and I am so blessed that I get to spend the rest of my life with her.
Bridesmaid
Official cousin of the brides since 2009. I'm often found drinking coffee with Sarah, "kickin' it" with Rachel and admiring pretty things that sparkle with Beth. Excited to be part of a triple wedding!
Groomsman / Brother of the Groom (Kenan)
Sam grew up as the eldest, wisest, and funniest of three siblings, with sister Casey in the middle, and brother Kenan (Groom of Sarah) as the youngest. Despite the abyss of maturity that separated them, Sam always made considerations for his younger brother and included him in various adventures. As time went by, Sam developed passions for the arts, music, fashion, and philanthropy, whereas baby Kenan primarily developed a passion for Sarah. More recently, Sam settled in his first home with Tina, his beautiful wife of three years. This development was no doubt an inspiration to Kenan and his ambitions with Sarah, but Sam can only claim 1/3 of the credit for their love and success together. In sum, Sam is honored to take part in the joyous occasion of Kenan and Sarah’s wedding!
Bridesmaid
Oh, how I love these women. Growing up together it felt like I had three more sisters in my relationship with these three wonderful cousins of mine. I feel so honored to be able to celebrate this experience with them. Sarah, Rachel and Beth, I love seeing your joy overflow as you continue to build your relationships with these awesome men. Kenan, Jake and Austin, welcome to the family! I’m glad I’ve been able to get to know you over the past few months! I can tell how much you love my cousins, and that warms my heart. I look forward to seeing these three couples grow and blossom together!

When it comes to Kenan, two of the things that most jump out to people are that he loves puns and is incredibly goofy. Luckily, those are two of my biggest descriptors as well, so we’ve gotten along well these past 7 years. Kenan consistently pushes me to grow personally and branch out into new parts of life. When I’m not trying to come up with another groan-worthy pun, I enjoy traveling, ultimate frisbee, trying new things (food or otherwise), dancing like a total dork, and baking. Sometimes it is hard for me to shell out compliments, but Kenan and Sarah are definitely the bomb.
Bridesmaid
I spend my days with my hands in the soil and my face in the sun. I grew up with Sarah, Rachel, and Beth. They're some of the best cousins I could have asked for. I cherish the memories we have made and love making new ones. I'm honored to be supporting the three bride's on their wedding day.
Groomsman / Brother of the Groom (Jake)
I am Jake’s younger brother. Right now I’m going to UW Milwaukee for Art Education. You can either find me at The Potter’s Shop throwing clay on the wheel or throwing discs on the frolf course.
Bridesmaid
I love the outdoors and pretty much any activity that can be done in the sun! I love baking, cooking, and eating! I have 2 brothers and no sisters, but I have had these three beautiful ladies to play American girl dolls with for hours on end, giggle all night at all-girl-cousin sleep overs, and now stand by their sides as they say I do to their men!
Groomsman (Jake)
My name is Jeff Ruffatto and I'm honored to stand beside my oldest and best friend in his wedding. In fact, Jake will be standing as my best man in my wedding in July! Jake and I grew up together starting in elementary school playing music, skateboarding, playing Smash Bros and ping pong, and making jokes only we would laugh at. Actually, those things are still pretty much all we do when we hang out together. Other than that, I'm the owner of GuitarTown Athletics/CrossFit 262 in Waukesha and am looking forward to celebrating with Jake and Rachel!
Bridesmaid
Growing up in the Quakkelaar family has been a blessing. I have numerous memories of girl cousin sleepovers and tea parties with these fabulous ladies. With Sarah, I cherish the memories of study dates, jammin’ in her car, and laughing till it hurts. With Rachel, I treasure uncountable goofy late-night conversations until 2 am, contemplating life’s biggest mysteries, and enjoying life together as roommates. And with Beth, I’ve been taught a great deal of math, boogied on the dance floor, and dreamed about our futures. Congratulation to you all! May God bless your marriages richly. I love you!
Groomsman / Brother of the Brides
As the older brother of three sisters, some might feel sorry for me, but I used that opportunity to get back at them every way I could. Whether it was a water fight, spider prank, or Batman attacking the evil forces of Barbie, I may have some of the best embarrassing stories of these girls. In contrast, I have also had the pleasure to watch them all grow up into strong, beautiful, God-loving women. Having a front row seat of their transformations into adulthood has been a blessing. I could not be any more proud of them, and I could not be happier for them on this beautiful occasion. I hope for the best and look forward to all future memories. PS Took long enough, but I can finally say that I have the brothers I always wanted. Welcome to the family Kenan, Jake, and Austin!
Bridesmaid / Sister of the Groom (Austin)
I am 15 and a freshman in high school. I love the arts and love to play music with my brother. For as long as I can remember Austin has been my best friend as well as my brother. To see his face light up when Beth is around is priceless. I cannot wait to support them on their big day!

Father of the Brides
I am the proud father of four wonderful children and I am so thankful to my beloved wife, Liane, for bringing them into this world and being such an incredible mom. I love being their dad and I will always cherish the times I've had with them, watching them grow up, and now to see all three of my lovely daughters become brides and wives. God answered our prayers with three incredible "sons-in-love". It has been such a pleasure getting to know Austin, Jake and Kenan, and to see how each one is uniquely gifted, and matched to their brides. I am so looking forward to being their dad-in-law and I feel so honored and privileged to have my daughters take on their last names. May those names increase exponentially. Welcome to the family.
Mother of the Brides
I always wanted to get married and be a wife and mother. When God blessed me with my loving husband Doug and then a son and three daughters I was absolutely thrilled. I have cherished the time I have spent with each one of them and now they are some of my best friends. It amazes me what an incredible man and incredible women they have become and it means the world to me that they love God. I am looking forward to the addition of three wonderful son-in-laws who truly love God and truly love my daughters.
Mother of the Groom (Kenan)
I enjoy spending time with family, traveling when I can, getting to know people, studying God's word, and sharing what I have learned with others. It has been my privilege to be Keen's mom and to have a front row seat watching him grow into the man of God he is today! It will be a sweet blessing to be there as he and Sarah embark on their own adventure together as Man and Wife!
Father of the Groom (Kenan)
I am a very happy dad for my son Kenan has found a gem in Sarah as his best friend and wife to be!!! It is so wonderful to be able to be an observer of Kenan and Sarah as they have come to know each other over the past year and grown so well together. Eastern Wisconsin is becoming one of my favorite places to visit as two very special people reside and will so be married there!! I have enjoyed the last year with Kenan as we have shared his last "single guy" deer hunt, worked on remodeling projects together and I have come to realize that I am now clearly on the short side of the ping-pong table!
Mother of the Groom (Austin)
Mother of the Groom (Jake)
I am blessed to be the mother of two amazing sons, Jake and Taylor. All I ever dreamed of was being a mom! Raising two boys on my own at times was a challenge, however this was God’s plan and with His help we made it work (most of the time). I know Jake and Taylor’s Dad would be very proud to see what talented and caring young men they have become. I look forward to having Rachel as my daughter in-love, she is truly a blessing to this family. I pray God will continue to guide Jake and Rachel as they walk through the next chapters of their life together. I am excited to see what God’s plan is for all of these awesome couples.
