Jenny & Michael
Wedding Party
Jess Van Keulen
Maid of Honor
Jess is Jenny's little sister, they have been close since the day she was born. Jenny was so excited to have a sibling and couldn't have asked for a better sidekick and friend. We have been on many adventures together and though we spent several years apart as we pursued our degrees (she is a Speech-Language Pathologist) we are now reunited and back working in MN. Jess has been a great help planning this wedding and I couldn’t imagine my wedding day without her!
Matthew Bradley
Best Man
Matthew is Michael's brother and Best Man. The two have been together through all the ups and downs of life. Michael's fondest memories with his brother include years of fishing on the river, playing baseball at Rutenburg, holding the flashlight for Dad while he worked in the garage or boat, and even some casual wound care while at FAU with Matthew. Matthew has been a role model to Michael throughout his life, a person to talk to for advice, and a huge support through anything and everything. There is nobody else he'd rather have as his Best Man, or brother.
Kirsten Denny
Bridesmaid
Jenny and Kirsten met in Kindergarten and have been friends ever since. From elementary school to college, first jobs, and everything in between, Kirsten has been by my side through everything life has thrown our way. Kirsten is a graphic designer and makes some of the coolest art I've ever seen. It has been almost 25 years of friendship and I'm so lucky to have her by my side on my wedding day!
William Wright
Groomsman
William and Michael have known each other since birth. Their older sisters were in the same grade and it was fated from the beginning that these two would be lifelong friends. The two attended K-8th grade together and were involved in a lot of the same activities. After William moved to Ocala, during high school, the two met again at FSU for some of the best times they've had. Their history is full of craziness and fun, too much to get into here, and the future looks much the same!
Laura Petersen
Bridesmaid
Laura and Jenny met in junior high playing soccer but really cemented their friendship in high school and beyond. Laura was there the night Michael and Jenny first met, though we didn’t know the significance of it at the time. Some of my best memories come from the time we've spent together and I am so glad Laura is going to be by my side for this next step in my life.
Thomas Ashey
Groomsman
Michael has known Thomas since 2011 /2012. The two met at FSU and immediately hit it off, becoming inseparable to the point where a lot of people would get them confused for the other. Their time at FSU was filled with amazing stories. Tom and Michael have remained good friends even after graduation and moving to different areas of the country. Michael was one of Tom's groomsmen and is beyond happy to be able to return the gesture.
Erin Dreher
Bridesmaid
Erin and Jenny met in South Florida during PA school, we lived in the same apartment complex and sat next to each other in class. I wouldn’t have made it through school without her. We carpooled together, studied together, blew off steam at the gym, beach, and bars together. Without Erin and Kevan, Michael and I wouldn’t have met, so this day quite literally would not be happening if we weren't friends. I will be forever grateful for her friendship!
Kevan Kasmai
Groomsman
Kevan and Michael met in grad school at FIU through mutual friends. Once again the two immediately hit it off with similar tastes in music and a penchant for dad jokes. Kevan and Erin were ultimatley responsible for introducing Michael to Jenny. The two had been scheming to make it happen while Michael was studying abroad in Italy. Without Kevan, this special occasion would not be happening!
Anthony "Tony" Boger
Usher
Tony and Michael have known each other since the second grade, when they went to school together and both joined the cub scouts. The two have been best friends ever since. They went to the same school from 2nd grade through high school with each other and were inseparable. Tony and Michael both have the same taste in music and some of their best memories are the millions of concerts they've been to together. Whether a local show at Rack'ems Billiards or a massive arena tour, they've always been a blast. The two are family and always will be
Jonathan Wilson
Usher
Jonathan is one of Michael's oldest friends. The two met at Villa's daycare when they were 2-3 year old and were best friends. When starting pre-k, Michael was worried and scared about making new friends, but who should show up on that first day but Jonathan. The two were together all the way through high school, and grew up on the baseball field together. After graduating, Jonathan joined the Marine Corps. Whenever he was on leave and back in town, the two would go to their favorite restaurant....Bucketts, and eat more wings than anyone ever should in one sitting while catching up. Jonathan and Michael have always been together and it looks like that will always be the case!
