Sarah & Andrew
Wedding Party
Mckenzie Chen
Matron of Honor
Mckenzie and Sarah met in eighth grade in a school play, and suffering through our first year of French class together solidified our friendship--we proceeded to take four years of French, always contingent on taking it together! We have since attended proms and UW-Eau Claire together along with many travels to Napa/Sonoma, San Francisco, many Mexican adventures, Oregon, Nashville, New York City...and hopefully many more to come.
David Chen
Best Man
David is Andy's older brother. Growing up David and I watched, played, and talked about sports pretty much all day, everyday. From the Vikings to the Gophers to the North Stars (sigh, go Wild!) and everything in between, sports was a large part of our childhood. Nowadays you can find us out on the golf course any chance we get. David has a beautiful family with 3 awesome boys, I love hanging out with them and visiting my nephews!
Abby LeVasseur
Bridesmaid
Abby and Sarah met through Abby's husband Andy, a high school classmate of Sarah's. We met as young new nurses in Rochester and have grown closer as the years have gone on! We love any excuse to drink wine and have gotten to travel to Cabo and Oregon together in recent years.
Pat Morseth
Groomsman
Pat has been a great buddy of Andy's since 5th grade. We pretty much have been hanging out since then, regardless of different cities lived and changes in life. We have gone on numerous adventures and look forward to continuing many more! Pat and his wife Lauren have a beautiful baby girl, Lillian.
Julie Chen
Bridesmaid
Julie is Andy's sister-in-law and her bubbly personality made Sarah feel so welcome as a part of the family from the first time we met! Sarah can't wait to finally have a sister :)
Scott Voogd
Groomsman
Scott is Sarah's brother and a fellow Vikings fan! He has made it very easy to be welcomed to the family and I look forward to many more celebrations with him!
Rachel Simac
Bridesmaid
Rachel is a friend of Sarah's from UW-Eau Claire, a fellow nurse Sarah was drawn to as she was always chasing a good time! We remained close after college and Sarah was Rachel's maid of honor. Sarah and Rachel almost share a birthday (off by one day) and have gotten to do many girls' trips together to New York City, Nashville, and countless trips to the Wisconsin Dells with our college girlfriends.
Jake Anderson
Groomsman
Andy met Jake around 4th grade when he moved into the neighborhood. We started a friendship and it continued on and off as we both moved to different areas until high school where we ran in the same circles. Since then, we have travelled to many parts of the country together always finding some sort of adventure. It's been great to visit him in the various parts of the country where he has lived from Albany, NY to now Boca Raton, FL (which we lovingly refer to as Del Boca Vista). Jake and hid wife Vanessa have 2 beautiful children, Dylan and Cassidy.
Amber Ottney and Erin Kukowski
Honor Attendant
Amber and Erin are Sarah's classmates from nursing school at UW-Eau Claire and have been close ever since. While we only see each other a few times a year now, we always pick up right where we left off and share the best laughs!
Caleb Voogd and Lucas Chen
Usher
Caleb and Lucas are Sarah and Andrew's oldest nephews and have already bonded playing football and visiting Valleyfair together!
