Wedding Party
Cheyenne Brandt
Bride
Brent Janssen
Groom
Maiya Brandt
Maid of Honor
Sister of the bride, Maiya & Cheyenne have shared countless adventures & have only continued to grow closer as they have gotten older. Sharing a love of the outdoors & sports, Maiya & Cheyenne can frequently be spotted running, biking or swimming together at the local park. In the summer of 2023 Maiya completed her first triathlon, winning her age division and Cheyenne couldn't have been more proud! Maiya is also an avid lover of art & graduated from the University of La Crosse with a degree in fine arts in the fall of 2023.
Noor Mahajan
Best Man
Brother-In-Law of the groom. Brent met Noor after Noor swept April (Brent's sister) off her feet and she brought him back to Sheboygan to meet her family. Noor's genuine charm quickly won Brent over too and they have been good friends since. Brent has many great memories with Noor staying up late when we get together during the holidays and other get togethers. Noor really likes following the stock market, taking time to get to know everyone around him, keeping up with current events, and most of all April and their little daughter Millie. If you see Noor around, feel free to ask him for stock trading advice.
Kierra Gorde
Matron of Honor
Kierra & Cheyenne have been friends for about as long as they can remember having met in 1st grade. Through the years they spent their time riding horses together, going to the movies nearly weekly & if nothing else spending the evening just sitting in their car chatting in the Walmart parking lot. Kierra has always been Cheyenne's goofy, witty and dependable friend.
Andrew Shircel
Groomsman
Friend of the groom. So his name is Andrew Shircel but everyone calls him Shircel. Brent can't even remember a time he wasn't friends with Shircel because they went to preschool and k-12 together. At first they were obsessed with dinosaurs and played with the school dinosaurs so much they were forced to take one day a week off so the other kids could play with the dinosaurs. Over the years Shircel and Brent played a lot of basketball, enjoyed the same shows and movies, and could never get enough King Wok together. If you see Shircel around, ask him for his pinpoint analysis of the Packers', Bucks', or Brewers' ability to win another championship.
Lexi Tead
Bridesmaid
Lexi & Cheyenne first met & became friends through rowing at UW Madison. After graduation they both spent a summer working out west in Colorado giving guided horseback tours throughout Rocky Mountain National Park & they grew much closer. Lexi is one of Cheyenne's closest friends and they continue to enjoy horseback riding, hiking & spa days together!
Javier Alejandro Gamez
Groomsman
Friend of the groom. Brent and Javier met in high school. Brent isn't exactly sure when they became friends but Javier's ability to laugh at anything and always have a good time made him a perfect partner in gym class and that translated outside of badminton and kickball. Brent and Javier have a kindred spirit to take interest in a wide variety of things and constant endeavor for self-improvement. If you see Javier around, he is a huge fan of anime, which you may not even know what that is, but he also has an interest in many other things.
Maddy Kroger
Bridesmaid
Cheyenne first met Maddy, future sister in law of the bride, when Austin, her brother, first introduced Maddy to the family. Although Cheyenne initially thought Maddy was a little quiet, she has since corrected this assumption & gotten to know Maddy much better. Over the years they have shared many game nights, bonded over their love of animals, particularly horses, & gone on more than a few shopping expeditions. Maddy has an infectious smile & is a fun loving friend anyone would be lucky to get to know!
Joseph Karl Luebke
Groomsman
Friend of the groom. Joe and Brent became quick friends in grade school and were also on every rec sport team together growing up. They also spent summers together when Brent could make it over to the N 50th street neighborhood where there were way more boys in a close age range than there should ever be on one road. Like any friendship that has been over multiple decades, it's hard to single out individual things they did together when it feels like they've done just about everything together. If you see Joe around, he's a lawyer so ask him for free legal advice.
Lexi Fugate
Bridesmaid
Cheyenne & Lexi met in the fall of 2014 when they both walked on to the UW Madison rowing team but they didn't become friends until one evening when they decided to go to the local park and try their hand at ice skating (which Cheyenne is terrible at). Through much laughing & some swearing, they became friends and have continued to grow closer spending two years as roommates and many more as the best of friends. These days, Lexi is a Veterinarian working in the Seattle-Tacoma area.
Ian Segovia
Groomsman
Friend of the groom. Brent and Ian met at the beginning of high school in a very random tech ed class. They got along pretty well then and later sat together at lunch and became friends without even knowing it. Who needs a date to prom when you have such a good friend who also doesn't have a date? That's a good summary of their friendship. Ian is much funnier than Brent, which makes for a good friend who can always keep you laughing. If you see Ian around, his humorous observations may make your day, but be warned, you might be the good natured butt of the joke like Brent often is.
Emma Strenski
Bridesmaid
Emma & Cheyenne also met through joining the Rowing team at UW Madison racing their sophomore spring season in the 2nd four together. They became close spending attending countless musicals at the overture center, partying at badger games or out at the bars and spending two years as roomies. Driven, hard working & fun Emma is always down for a good time & is one of Cheyenne's closest friends.
Danny Valdez
Groomsman
Friend of the groom. Danny and Brent met in grade school when Danny moved to Sheboygan. They didn't get to know each other well at first but became friends in high school playing basketball and hanging out. Danny's basement was the hangout place of choice for his friends where countless great times were had. Danny and Brent both happed to transfer to UWM and became roommates in which their love for videogames may have had too much synergy. If you see Danny around, ask him any question about disc golf and he will know the answer.
