Bride
Kat is the beautiful bride! She enjoys working with her elementary school aged kids through The Y! In her free time she enjoys visiting new places and experiencing new cultures. Kat also enjoys swimming, attending Milwaukee Admirals and Wave games and throwing darts!
Groom
Jack is the handsome groom! He also enjoys working with kids. In his free time, he is always looking for the couple's next adventure! When he's not planning travel adventures, Jack enjoys cooking, going to sporting events and concerts with Kat and hanging by the pool in warm weather.
Maid of Honor
Some days I question Kat's sanity, but there is no one else I'd rather have as a built in best friend (B.I.B.). Through thick and thin our friendship has grown and I can't wait to see us grow into our next chapters of our lives together.
Best Man
I met Jack freshman year of college on the infamous Snow Cole dormitory floor. Just two doors down was a man that liked to drink Jack and lemonade, hangout all the time and tell bad jokes. I thought to myself, "I could really get along with this guy." And so it was!
Matron of Honor
Kat and I have been best friends since preschool. We have managed to stay close throughout the years no matter what life threw at us! Kat has always been someone you can go to for a listening ear.
Groomsman
Jack and I met as freshmen in college at UW-Madison in 2013. We decided to sit together on a dorm trip to Chicago. It turned out we lived on the same floor, loved B.O.B, all sports, but mostly basketball, and traveling. We quickly became fast friends and by junior year, roommates. The bond we grew to have in college has followed us out into the world. and Jack stood in my wedding as on of my best friends. It is an honor to stand in his and I couldn't be more excited to watch Jack and Kat take the next step in their relationship!
Bridesmaid
We've known each other for all of our lives. Unfortunately, we don't have to opportunity to hang out as much as when we were children, but I know that Kat is always there for me if I were to ever need her help. We've always been there for each other. Even when we go a while without talking, it is like no time has passed when we link back up. I will always consider Kat as a part of my family!
Groomswoman
Jack and I met when we both lived on the same floor of Cole Hall at the University of Wisconsin. We quickly became friends and stayed close during our college years by bowling, brunching, and brewery-touring. Nowadays we visit each other when possible and can always count on each other for a friend to hang out outside, grab a beer or check out a cool museum!
Bridesmaid
Kat and I first met in college. We became fast friends (mustard and ketchup). Since then we have always encouraged each other to be our authentic selves, no matter how goofy!
Groomsman
First day of 5th grade, who do I sit next to? Not Jack, ha, but the person that (debatably) introduced us. Just like that, I had a lifelong friend and someone I'd consider nothing short of a brother (I mean everyone always called us brothers just because we were some ATHLETIC fattys haha). Between the same sports teams we played on together, nights of slaying Nazi zombies or throwing down dunks in the pool, I'll always appreciate the bond we have!
Mother of the Bride
Heather loves being Mama to Kat. From music, sports, scouts, dance and more. Some Kat loved, others, not so much. Her hard work and dedication to school, extra curriculars, and work is amazing. Heather is so proud of the woman Kat has become. Gaining Jack as a son-in-law is the icing on the cake. Heather told him there are no returns and she loves them both so much!
Mother of the Groom
Lisa is Jack’s mom and she is so proud of all that Jack has accomplished in is life. His dad would be as well. She is most proud of his need to help people and his caring and kind personality. It is with love and joy that she welcomes Kat into the family. After sharing several adventures with them, she can’t wait to see what wonderful things life is in store for them!
Father of the Bride
Jay enjoyed watching and being involved through Katherine's life. This includes Girls Scouts, tee ball, soccer, swim and basketball. Jack is definitely a lucky man to have found her! Jay is looking forward to what the future holds for these two!
Officiant
Ben is not only the officiant of the wedding, but also Kat's loving and protective uncle. If he's not throwing darts, or teaching Ju Jitsu, you might find him with his family and friends camping, drinking whiskey, or cracking a dad joke! (Probably all 3 at the same time)
