Wedding Party
Cassie Ross
Maid of Honor
Cassie and Annie met as random roommates freshman year at MSU Mankato. Not only did they live together, but they had every single class together from freshman year through graduate school. I can only imagine Cassie has some fond memories of Annie and Joey's relationship since she got the privilege of living with Annie for 4 years. Those will have to wait until the speech ;)
Danny Reed
Best Man
Joey's older brother
Greta Brecht
Bridesmaid
Greta and Annie met on a cold, winter day in January of 2000 (aka the day Greta was born). Greta is Annie's younger sister, and little did Annie know, from that day forward, Greta would steal all her shoes, clothes, and jewelry. Greta is currently attending school at NSDU.
Max Waletich
Groomsman
Joey's best friend. The one that got the joy of living with him for 4 years!
Julia Brecht
Bridesmaid
Julia was lucky enough to meet Annie the day Annie was born. Actually, when Julia got to the hospital to meet Annie, she took one look at her and said to her father "she's cute, can we go ride the elevator now?". Annie had no idea what was in store for her in the coming years. There are some home videos of Julia whacking Annie over the head with Barbie dolls, and Annie the clueless kid she was, going on like nothing ever happened. Annie has turned to Julia a lot for advice and “sister things” growing up, but she’s not able to help with the wedding planning advice. I’m sure she will be turning to Annie real soon for some wedding planning help... right Rance? ;)
Kellen Reed
Groomsman
Don’t let the height fool you, Kellen is Joey’s younger brother.
Morgan Berger
Bridesmaid
Morgan and Annie met in middle school when Annie joined the swim team. Morgan is one of Annie's best friends. They swam together throughout middle and high school, and were team captains together their senior year. Also, fun fact for ya, Annie & Morgan won "Senior Sidekicks" their senior year of high school! Morgan attended MSU Mankato where her and Annie continued to stay very close and see each other often. Now, Morgan lives in Denver, CO and Annie wishes she could visit Morgan every month, HA! They get together whenever Morgan is home visiting, or whenever Annie can afford a trip to CO, but not as often as Annie would like!
Jorden Pearl
Groomsman
Joey's high school friend!
Ashley Liestman
Bridesmaid
Annie's friend, they go way back to the second grade. Ashley moved in from another school district, and I'm pretty sure Annie greeted her at the door of Mrs. Salk's 2nd grade classroom. Since then, they have lived together in college and remained very close.
Taylor Nawrocki
Groomsman
Joey's friend who Joey happened to follow from NIIAC to MSU!
Jenny Olson
Bridesmaid
Don't let the last name fool you, Jenny is Joey’s older sister. Jenny is very detail oriented and just planned a wedding of her own in the summer of 2018. Annie will be looking to her for many tips and tricks throughout the planning process. Annie is looking forward to gaining another sister as well!
Brandon Dawson
Groomsman
Joey's friend from high school!
