Anne & Nick
Wedding Party
Kara Madsen
Matron of Honor
Anne’s “little” sister despite being much taller than her. Needless to say, Anne looks up to her! Lover of Samoyeds, the Dirty Dancing lift, teaching 1st graders and Jesus dogs at UW football games. Anne and Kara have a lot of fun memories together - Fox Point Pool, Minikani, Elkhart Lake shenanigans, Spring Breaks (getting burned with our braids in Mexico), Gamma Phi, her fun trips to LA and more!
Tony Ker
Best Man
Nick’s friend from Preschool, now his realtor (and best man). Loves volleyball, telling long stories, and over ordering at restaurants.
Cassie Meyers
Bridesmaid
Anne’s childhood friend since 5th Grade in Mrs. Caldwell’s class. Despite her alliance with Marquette, Anne and she have laughed their way through Water Ballet, Camp Minikani, Washington DC, Palm Springs, 1914 Prospect and dancing on the barrel at Jocats.
Brandon Williams
Groomsman
Nick's friend from elementary school. Convinced Nick to attend IU for one year which was a phenomenal decision. The whitest man to ever get the Kamaʻāina discount in Hawaii.
Kelli Gritzmacher
Bridesmaid
Anne’s sister-in-law since 2014. Amazing mom to Anne’s adorable nieces, Pinterest wizard and talented baker as well. In fact, the designated baker for Gritzmacher functions. Kelli and Anne share love for Aperol Spitzes (especially on Christmas) and time at the lake together.
Daniel Gonzalez
Groomsman
First met Nick at age 6 playing AYSO soccer. Is the life of the party, even if the party ended two days ago.
Tara Radley
Bridesmaid
One of Anne’s friends from LA since 2011. She’s an incredible HOA attorney (ask her about dealing with people getting bitten by dogs!) and twin boy mom. Tara loves a good Deans day, barreling down Mammoth mountain and enjoying a beer fest.
Weston Armstrong
Groomsman
Nick's friend from preschool. Nick's most stylish and artistic friend. Excellent taste in food and wine. Would trade his house for a Ferrari.
Yumi Razik
Bridesmaid
One of Anne’s friends from LA since 2011. She’s one of the best bakers around – ask her to do your birthday cake. Her drink of choice is Baileys on ice with a dash of club soda. This request nearly got us kicked out of a bar in Dublin. Yumi and Anne have torn up the town many places – Paso Robles (shout out to Pappy’s!), Ireland, London, Vegas (her 24th birthday never again) and more.
Chris Amico
Groomsman
Nick's older brother. Lives in Boston and has managed to not become a patriots fan. Father to the ring bearers Benjamin and Jamie. Bean aficionado.
Kelsey Gregg
Bridesmaid
One of Anne’s friends from LA since 2011. She’s a fantastic chef (ask Mindy Kaling!), amazing new mom to Poppy. Anne and Kelsey say “Happy Wednesday” every Wednesday when their new podcast comes out – shout out to Heather McMahan. They share their love for crushing Main Street, Big Deans and Club Arroyo.
Michael Amico
Groomsman
Nick's younger brother. Currently resides in Prague studying photography and beer gardens. Got the best genetics minus his freakishly large hands. Looks nothing like Nick.
Evan Pollock
Groomsman
First met Nick at age 5 playing AYSO soccer. Firm believer that mimosas are not only meant for mornings.. Loves video games and boxed wine.
Kevin Johnson
Groomsman
Nick's friend from elementary school. Beer enthusiast, taller than he seems. Looks and speaks Swedish. Believed to be insane for owning 4 cats.
Davey Rowley
Groomsman
Nick's friend from elementary school. Easily Nick's smartest and dumbest friend. Is a rocket scientist but wants to be a stuntman. May or may not show up to the ceremony on a motorcycle.
Chris Madsen
Officiant
Anne's brother-in-law since 2019 and unfortunate Marquette fan/alum - although he has been forgiven by the Gritzmachers. He is a Samoyed aficionado (see photo), a master (at times) at Mexican Train and talented bartender. He makes a mean Old Fashioned with Brandy of course!
Drew Gritzmacher
Usher
Anne's older and only brother. Amazing dad to Anne's nieces and if you want to talk for hours talk about Star Wars, Marvel, legos, Wes Anderson movies, IPAs, fishing or tech. Anne and Drew enjoyed many Spring Breaks together and visits to LA. Ask him about his 16th birthday in Mexico with a flaming Dr. Pepper shot!
