Man of Honor
My parents never gave me a sister but thankfully Zach was a good sport when I put him in dresses and did his hair and makeup. Even though we fought a lot of the time there is no one I would rather have by my side on my wedding day than my big brother!
Best Man
Blake and Andrew have been friends since elementary school and have continued to remain friends throughout the ups and downs of life. Even though Andrew now lives in Portland, OR with his wife and kids they continue to keep in touch and remain best friends.
Maid of Honor
I met Kelli our freshman year of college. We lived on the same floor in our dorm and we quickly became very close over the years because we had a lot of similar interests. We spent a lot of our time together playing sports, doing crafts, and whatever other crazy things we could think of. We were both accounting majors and got to spend a lot of time studying together! We now both work for the same firm, Wipfli, although we work in different offices and I now work in the technology consulting practice. We still get to IM and keep in touch everyday!
Groomsman
Austin is the middle brother. Being close in age they were able to learn from each other growing up. Austin is now married and has recently welcomed his daughter Cypress into the world but Blake and Austin continue to remain close and spend time together while hunting.
Bridesmaid
Shelby and I grew up just a half mile from each other. However, we didn't meet until about 5th grade. We got to spend a lot of time together living so close and being able to walk to each other's houses (even if her mom watched us walk with binoculars to make sure we made it). We continued to stay close through the years in friendship and cities. We both moved and attended UW-Whitewater together and then both moved to the Milwaukee area after college. Now we live 5 hours apart but to continue to stay close by sending snapchats of our cats to each other everyday! :)
Groomsman
Kyle is the youngest brother. As kids Blake and Kyle loved playing with hotwheels and matchbox cars together. Now that they are grown up their common interest has stayed the same, cars. They love to talk about and work on cars together.
Bridesmaid
I had met Lydia a few times when she attended work events with Reed. However, our friendship really started when I invited myself and Blake to go to the Andy Grammer concert that Reed was taking her to for her birthday. Lydia was not thrilled that Reed's coworkers were going to be hanging out with them. She has finally warmed up to that idea and is now my go to shopping partner and the one I call when I need to go to the nail salon.
Groomsman
Through many of his sarcastic comments and jokes Reed has become not only my coworker but also a friend (even if he is sometimes embarrassed to admit we are friends outside of work). We spend many weekends having game nights, going to sporting events, and attending concerts with him and Lydia.
Usher
I met Chris our sophomore year of college living in the same dorm. Coincidentally, the next year we moved into the same apartment building and he lived in the apartment right beneath me. Lucky for Chris we let him attend many of our girl's nights. We also both majored Information Technology and had lots of classes together and I had to help Chris study for many exams! Now that we don't live as close we enjoy getting together when I am back in the area to get wings and drinks to catch up!
Usher
Blake and Justin met living in the same apartment complex in Brookfield. They spent a lot of time together talking about all things in life from cars to girls to their similar interest in IT. They also had a lot of doggy play dates with Maci and Justin's dog Indie.
Ring Bearer
Grayson is the son of Reed and Lydia Klinkhammer. We love hanging out with Grayson so we get a chance to go to the park, color, and play with legos and playdoh again!
