Wedding Party

Alayna Roess

Maid of Honor

Hi everyone, my name is Alayna. I am the sister of the bride (aka the maid of honor)☺️ I recently graduated from Hamline University in the spring & just started a career in the mortgage industry. I am excited to see my sister walk down the aisle. Julia is truly my best friend & I'm so lucky to end up with a sister that doubles as both. Ever since we were little, we have always talked about what we would imagine our wedding day to look like. Feeling so blessed that the time is finally here for my sister. I can't wait to see your smile as you marry the man of your dreams.

My name is Allie and I am honored to be a part of Julia & Jeremy's wedding day! I have known the beautiful & amazing Julia for almost 20 years. We met in elementary school, lived through the horrors middle school & high school (we try not to think about those years too much 😅), attended the Winona State University together, & went on to be roommates!

My heart is bursting for my dearest and most loyal friend to become a WIFE!

Fun fact: I didn't cry when I was born. I know Jeremy from small group at church, we met in spring 2018. I'm excited to see Jeremy and Julia's first kiss, kidding. I'm excited to be in a room with a lot of people.

Elsa McGuire

Honorary Bridesmaid

Hey everyone, I'm Elsa! I'm a mama of three wild boys, & a cardiac nurse. My loves are my family, yoga, traveling, eating everything in sight, & taking naps whenever possible. I also love to crochet 😋 I know Julia & Jeremy from swing dancing - Jeremy & I became fast friends, & through the progression of their relationship, Julia & I connected like crazy & forged a beautiful friendship ❤️ I'm excited for every aspect of this wedding! Especially 1. running around trying to keep everyone calm (which won't be my job, but the nurse in me will force me to do it anyway), & 2. the moments that they smile at each other while they make their marriage promises. I'm not even going to try to hold back the happy tears! Can't wait to meet everyone, and for this day to finally get here!!

Austin Muchow

Honorary Groomsman

Hi, I'm Austin. Jeremy & I met while playing an arcade game with Rob, another groomsmen at youth group. Then we proceeded to play a lot of Halo together. I think the first time I met Julia was at her apartment & she had some people come over to hang out in the alley, we just played games & chatted. A fun fact about me, I dropped a canoe on my head once. I'm most excited to brew you your wedding beer.

Rebecca Ortiz

Honorary Bridesmaid

Hi! My name is Rebecca. Fun Fact: I lived in Mexico for 4 months when I was 15. Although I haven't known Julia or Jeremy for long. I considered them as family ever since our first up north trip in 2019, that has now turned into a summer tradition. I will always be grateful for the bonding moments we've had and will continue to have as the years pass by. I can't wait to see Julia walk down the aisle & dance the night away at the reception.

Tyler McNeal

Honorary Groomsman

I met Jeremy through a pure mistake, I'm very glad I made this mistake! I was attempting to contact Jeremy's younger brother who was a classmate of mine. Jeremy had no idea who I was but accepted my friend request anyways & responded to a message I'd sent him. 10 years later, Jeremy & I continue to be great friends & I'm very happy I sent that message! Julia was introduced to me on a couples trip to Lutsen Resort. Jeremy had been telling me for some time about this incredible girl he was dating that I just had to meet. Upon meeting her, I had to wholeheartedly agree that she was certainly impressive.I couldn't be happier for both of them! I have raised marine aquatic pets such as coral and saltwater fish for over 14 years. I love Minnesota so any excuse to visit home more often excites me!

Taylor Cummins

Honorary Bridesmaid

Hi! I'm Taylor! I live to explore, downhill ski, scuba dive & dance! I first met Jeremy swing dancing & quickly became great friends with Julia through Jeremy! On their wedding day, I am most anticipated to see the joy & excitement Jeremy & Julia have for marrying one another but of course I'm delighted to dance the night away at their reception!!

Lucas Hemling

Honorary Groomsman

My fun fact is I grew up in small town Wisconsin. I know Jeremy and Julia because I'm dating the brides sister. For the wedding I'm most excited for dancing, partying, and fun, but most importantly seeing two great people come together as one.

Anna Taberko

Honorary Bridesmaid

Hi! My name is Anna. I live and work in Minneapolis as an artist/designer in the advertising industry. I met Julia & Jeremy through my boyfriend, but have since become their friend too! I am excited to see my friends marry!... But also, excited to finally attend a proper wedding & party with good company.

Robbie Davis

Honorary Groomsman

A fun fact about me is I play in a church youth band ever other Sunday on keys/piano. I have been in band for a total of 10 years. I met Jeremy through our parents being friends. So we were essentially born as friends when our parents would hang out in our early childhood. We would have play days. I met Julia at the Renaissance Festival. When my wife & I met with Jeremy and Julia at the festival we met in costume but why not? It was fun to get personality traits right away. I'm excited to see this beautiful relationship, that has been well rooted, continue to dig deep into the ground & grow into an even more beautiful lasting, loving & flourishing one. I'm happy for Jeremy & Julia & see big things in store for them.

Curtis Moe

Honorary Groomsmen

Unfortunately, Curtis will not be able to attend, but as an important part of Jeremy's life, we still wanted to honor him. I enjoy a peanut butter and pickle sandwich from time to time. I worked with Jeremy at CH Robinson. I was most looking forward to the fiesta! Sadly I will have to miss it.
