Andrew Dembouski
Groom
Andrew is the Groom to be. He had a difficult long relationship before meeting Teresa and was throughly impressed with her friendliness and empathy for his situation. After dating her for a couple of years, he opted to move to Fergus Falls in July of 2020 to be closer to her. While the two of them have been through some new grief ( the loss of her dog on the day he moved to Fergus, the passing of her grandfather in October of 2021, Andrews close friend’s Father in March of 2022 ) he is grateful to be physically and emotionally near to Teresa to support and grow with her during those changes. Andrew currently works during the school year at Our Lady of Victory Catholic School where Teresa went to Elementary. His plans for the summer are undetermined. Andrew is determined to live somewhere warmer and cheaper sooner rather than later, however Teresa wishes to be near her parents and wants a large house for cheap. We shall see how that pans out.
Paige Horgeshimer (Larson)
Matron of Honor
Paige is one of Teresa’s closest friends. They have been friends from middle school to adulthood. Paige has been a staple source of relationship and marriage advice, as well as a Christlike example for what a beautiful marriage looks like. She is on the adventure of a life time, with her husband Thomas, daughter Hazel, and baby boy Horgesheimer. They have fashioned a 1970’s era bus into a fully furnished home to travel the country. Currently, they are in Utah where Paige’s parents and siblings moved to a few years ago.
Jake Whebbe
Best Man
Jake Whebbe is one of Andrew’s best friends. They met at Arby’s in 2017 where Whebbe was one of the managers. After inviting Andrew to play Dungeons and Dragons, the two formed a strong friendship that has endured through relationship troubles, marriage, moves, job transfers, family losses, and life’s regular challenges. Without Whebbe and his friendship, it is doubtful that Andrew would still be alive today. And also Whebbe has a cute baby with his pretty cool wife.
Natalie Conroy (Kunz)
Bridesmaid
Teresa and Natalie met in Kindergarten at Our Lady of Victory Catholic School. They reconnected in High School and again in undergrad. Natalie is by far Teresa’s longest friendship. Natalie was married in May of 2021 to Steve Conroy and most recently, they had a beautiful baby boy. Teresa loves having a close friend who maintains a solid connection to the Catholic Church and who can be a good guide for leading and maintaining a new catholic marriage.
Mitch Fitzgerald
Groomsman
Mitch Fitzgerald is a great dude. Mitch met Andrew at Dungeons and Dragons with Whebbe, and is the man who offered Andrew his first beer. (Yes, he was of legal drinking age.) Since then, the two have shared many beers, many laughs, and played many games of Magic: The Gathering.
Jaki Dembouski
Bridesmaid
Jaki is the younger sister of Andrew. Jaki has graduated from Wartburg College in Iowa in 2021 and is interning as a Music Therapist in Missouri.

Teresa and Jaki most recently appreciated their time together Black Friday Shopping at the Mall of America with Deanna Dembouski, Andrew and Jaki’s Mom. Teresa hopes to strengthen their relationship even more as her sister.
Brian Heintz
Groomsman
Brian Heintz is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet. First introduced to Andrew when they played high school basketball together, the two found a common passion in Professional Wrestling. The two of them formed VVW (Violent Vengeance Wrestling), the most entertaining trampoline show on YouTube (found exclusively on the channel Andrew Dembouski,) and have remained close friends for well over 10 years. Brian’s always there if you need a laugh or a serious conversation. You just know he’ll have your back. What a guy.
Paige Pettit

Paige graduated and moved to Australia after have two semesters abroad. Teresa loves reconnecting with Paige and picking up right where they left off. While the distance & cost may make some activities prior to the wedding difficult to attend, no matter what, Teresa is delighted for Paige to be a part of the Wedding party.
