Maid of Honor
Lover of cats and bacon, Makenna has looked up to her older sister in many ways. From sharing a love of Tigers baseball, to Bre’s influences in music at an early age (5 year old Makenna was caught singing Nelly’s “Hot in Here” while walking into church), the two have bonded over many concerts and a baseball road trip. Makenna looks forward to sharing these interests with Brendan as well, and despite Brendan’s best efforts, she will still refuse to listen to country music.
Best Man
Hi, I am Jon, the best man, for obvious reasons. The night I met Brendan he complimented the shirt I was wearing and I knew from that point on we would be best friends forever. Through many adult beverages and awesome shirt selections our relationship has grown into a worldwide sensation known as a "bromance."
Bridesmaid
Cousin and stand in sister, I’ve known Bre since the day she was born. From our hay days of beanie baby slumber parties to our ‘adulting’ days of work (and craft beer), I’ve known Breanna to be down to earth, heart-felt, and kind. When I heard we’d be gaining another member of the family after Brendan proposed, I couldn’t have been happier to welcome him in our family. Counting down the days until we have the best day with the greatest couple!

Hi I'm Bryan. I've known Brendan for much longer than I care to admit. It doesn't seem so long ago when we met playing basketball in elementary school and became fast friends playing sports and Risk together and going on family camping trips. Brendan has always been like a brother to me, which naturally meant that we were always super competitive and argued about pretty much everything. That also means that Brendan has always been family to me and I'm absolutely thrilled that he met someone as wonderful and kind as Bre! Cheers to the Bride and Groom!
Bridesmaid
Hey, I’m Megan, the oldest of Brendan’s three younger sisters. When Brendan and Breanna first started dating, he told me that he had met a girl and she was just like me. I didn’t even know her yet but I knew she was a keeper. Although we were similar, we definitely had our differences... but, it didn’t take long to turn the city girl into a country-loving, football-watching, dog lover.
Groomsman
Hi I’m Jake, the grooms brother in law. I have known Brendan for quite a few years... From the bangers he threw in high school to polishing off the Johnny Walker in Vegas we have always known how to have a good time. The wedding will be no different, we will both be sweating on the dance floor. Hopefully the bartenders don’t cut us off at this wedding like they did at mine!
Bridesmaid
Rebecca and Bre celebrate 10 years of friendship in 2019. Having met at Wayne State University, they took college by storm via ultra-involvement in student organizations and a killer Wednesday-night trivia team at the bar across the street, Lefty's Lounge (may it rest in peace). Post-college, the friends have stayed connected through a love of great beer, great food, and plentiful love-life gossiping.
Groomsman
Hi, I'm Chris (aka Toph). I met B back in college. Though I never really did go to class, I did frequent the bars around Kalamazoo. Eventually one of my best friends (the best man Jon) introduced us. From there, we started off playing video games for hours at a time. Our friendship grew to become great golf and pool partners. We always have a great time when we are around each other. B has always been a great friend to me and I couldn't be happier to stand with him and Breanna on their day! - Cheers B and Mrs. B!
Bridesmaid
Hi i’m Maddie, Brendan’s favorite youngest sister. Some say that Brendan and I act the same or I look just like him. I still don’t know if that’s a compliment or not. But he must be pretty good looking if he could get a girl like Bre. I can’t wait to have another sister and I’m so excited to be a part of their special day!
Groomsman
I met B in early 2010 through mutual friends in college. The next year we were roommates. Back then it was all about Mountain Dew, call of duty video games, and a different bar for every night of the week. There was something about having a close knit group of friends that made being a broke college student more bearable, and B was at the heart of that group. Wouldn’t have changed a thing.
Bridesmaid
Hi, I'm Payton, Brendan's most athletic, tallest, and middle sister. When I first saw Bre, one of my first thoughts was that she looked more like my sisters than I did! She fit right in with our basketball loving family and must have learned a lot (quickly), because she won our family March Madness competition the first year. I'm super excited to have Bre join the family; it'll be nice not being the only picky eater (just total opposites of pickiness)!
Groomsman
Hi, I’m Robert. I date Brendan’s only tall sister and I’ve known him for 7 years. People say I’m a little bigger and less athletic but I still hold more high school athletic records than Brendan. Although I knew he would never break my high school punting record, he really out kicked his coverage when he landed Bre. I can’t wait to be part of their big day, Go Blue!
Flower Girl
Charlise is 7 years old and has been well dressed by Breanna since birth. She looks up to the bride with much affection. She says Breanna just makes the most beautiful things. Charlise has been lucky enough to vacation with Breanna on the California coast when the cousins came to visit, she made her first snow angel with Bre in Wisconsin, played with Bre’s childhood doll at American Girl in Chicago, and is always excited for her Michigan Adventures with her cousins.
Officiant
Flower Girl
Cora is wild and 3. She loves meeting new friends, thrilling rides, and could spend her whole day on a sandy beach. She and Charlise are the daughters of Breanna’s cousin, Sara.
Ring Bearer
Henry is Breanna's nephew, and son of Daniel, the officiant. When he's not busy learning his colors, he loves playing with trucks, dinosaurs (most of the time), and trains!
