Wedding Party
Lily McKenzie
Maid of Honor
Although different in age, Brionna and Lily share many similarities. Growing up, Brionna has had the opportunity to coach Lily in softball and cheer her on in her various interests. Lily is a standout athlete in hockey, softball, and cross country; as well as an academic; and most importantly, a caring sister and friend.
Aaron Zasadzinski
Best Man
AKA - Chavey, Kory's Brother. Aaron and Kory grew close over the last 5-6 years after Kory moved home from Chicago. They both grew up playing hockey their entire lives and play Men's League Hockey along with the U.S. Pond Hockey Championship tournament held on Lake Nokomis.
Giovanni Salvatore
Man of Honor
Brionna and Gio (AKA Brio) met through the Cheer & Stunt Team at UWEC (EEEEYA!). And although they didn't like each other right away, they became fast friends the night Gio barged into Brionna's house unannounced because he saw the light was on. Ever since that fateful day, the two have been by each other's side, continuing to cheer and coach together; travel; and create many memorable experiences.
Josh Murphy
Groomsman
AKA - Channing, the Brother-in-Law of Kory. Even though his picture doesn't show it, Josh loves the outdoors. A family man at heart, you can find Josh cuddling in front of a fire or doing long walks along the street.
Karissa Feist-Curtis
Bridesmaid
It all started with a pink Razr phone. You remember those, right?! If not, you're too young to be attending this wedding ;) Brionna and Karissa met at High School Cheerleading tryouts, where they were paired up for evaluations and bonded over having the same phone. Since then, they have navigated through High School, College, and adulthood together, remaining best friends!
Rob Goodwin
Groomsman
Rob is Kory's cousin who lives in Chicago. An avid White Sox fan (insert eye roll emoji) who allowed Kory to be a roommate when he bought his first house. Rob even went the length to name his Wifi "Twins Suck"; when I asked what the password was, he amusingly (to himself) stated "sodothevikings". Rob is also Brionna's favorite dance partner.
Jaslyne Murphy
Bridesmaid
Jaslyne is Kory's cool older sister that Brionna is lucky enough to soon call a Sister-in-Law. Brionna and Jas share a competitive spirit and love making up silly dances. I'm sure you will catch them on the dance floor, flailing their bodies to Usher, all night long.
Kevin Goodwin
Groomsman
Kevin is also Kory's cousin who lives in Chicago (Rob's Brother). Kevin and Kory grew close after Kevin returned from Optometry school and resided in the Chicagoland area. Kevin loves golf (as does Kory) and to fish - the cousin that should have been born in Minnesota.
Nicole LaForte
Bridesmaid
Brionna met Nicole mere minutes before officially meeting Kory while she was on the bleachers cheering on the co-ed softball team, In Play. Over the past 6 years, Brionna and Nicole have formed a close bond and are always able to have a great time together, whether it be for a girls night, bingo, or at a concert!
Ross Tentinger
Groomsman
Ross has been one of Kory's best friends since he's moved home from Chicago. They met through Aaron (Kory's Brother) and enjoy a lot of the same activities between hockey / woodworking and golf cart rides on Isla Mujueres. If you're ever in need of a snowblower, reach out to Ross.
Catie Tentinger
Bridesmaid
Brionna and Catie met through their respective partners at an annual Gonia Halloween party. Catie is literal sunshine, and it is impossible for anyone who meets her not to love her. Since meeting, the group has become a core four and always manage to have a great time together, no matter the occasion.. especially when it comes to the U.S. Pond Hockey Tournament!
Marty Melberg
Groomsman
Marty is one of Kory's best childhood friends and co-owner of Diogie. Growing up, Marty's house was a common stomping ground playing random outdoor games and wreaking havoc on the neighborhood. Now a family man, Marty thinks about enjoying a 6:00am Tee Time.
Kahla Hempeck
Bridesmaid
The first baseman to Brionna's shortstop; the 9 to Brionna's 99. When Brionna joined Chaos, she and Kahla bonded immediately.. even though she wouldn't give up her number! This bond led to a lifelong friendship filled with softball, country music, waffles, slushies, and shenanigans.
Evan Cis
Groomsman
Evan is another one of Kory's best childhood friends. Growing up, his house was the other common stomping ground where he's lost many games of pool and poker. Evan also loves to golf, although his score doesn't always show it. One of the nicest guys you'll meet!
Amanda Wehrman
Bridesmaid
Brionna was lucky enough to meet this amazing girl in college on the UWEC Cheer & Stunt Team. They became attached at the hip and were an influence in one another's lives, in both good and fun ways ;) Often spotted with Gio, the group created many lasting memories in college, Water Street, and life that are looked back on fondly.
Blake Nolby
Groomsman
AKA - Nolbes, and yet another best childhood friend. He was the first to introduce Kory to snowmobiling as we'd ride them near his house. Nolbes has a great, fun personality and is also one of the nicest people you'll meet.
Harlow Murphy
Flower Girl
Harlow is the oldest daughter of Josh and Jaslyne Murphy. She is the sweetest niece with a playful spirit that loves to pick on Uncle Kory with Auntie B. We cannot wait to have her as our Flower Girl!
Cora Murphy
Flower Girl
Cora is the youngest daughter of Josh and Jaslyne Murphy. She is a strong minded girl with attitude and only does what she wants! She is so funny to be around and we cannot wait to have her as our Flower Girl!
Sydney DeSchepper
Personal Attendant
Brionna and Sydney only met three years ago when they were paired up to coach SH4DE together at Planet Spirit. Although they were skeptical about working with one another, they became fast friends. To this day, the two remain close friends and confidantes. And if you are looking for a sweet treat, Sydney is your gal - she probably has some candy in her purse!
Cade Salvatore
Officiant
Kory and Brionna are lucky enough to have Cade as their Officiant as they both have a personal connection and close friendship with him. What else could you ask for in the person marrying you?! Cade is the awesome husband of Gio. And with Brionna and Cade sharing the same birthday and Leo energies, it is no wonder the group gets along so well! Cade is a generous, energetic, and passionate person. All of which will shine through in his speech!
Jonas & Oliver
Ring Bearer
Jonas and Oliver are the beloved fur babies of Kory and Brionna. Jonas is Kory and Brionna's big boy! The couple adopted him at the age of 7 months from the Great Dane Rescue of Minnesota and Wisconsin. Jonas is both playful and snuggly - traits that suit Kory and Brionna, respectively. He loves to be the center of attention and to be outside rolling around, sniffing the ground, and plucking sticks. Oliver is Kory and Brionna's honorary ring bearer. Born under Brionna's bed 18 years ago, Oliver has been a constant companion. He loved the sun (just like his mama), scratches, and a lap to lay on. His presence has been missed by both the couple and Jonas.
