Wedding Party
Maddy Miller
Bridesmaid
Spunky, Compassionate, Strong Maddy is my younger sister. I've always admired her confidence and sense of humor. We became closer attending the same college for two years and living together for a year as adults which was very special. I'm so happy that she has chosen to make the Twin Cities her home as well with her husband Chris.
Megan Rudkin
Bridesmaid
Gracious, Easygoing, Friendly Megan is my older sister. She's cheered me on throughout my life and she has always been supportive of me. Growing up we both loved playing school and vet together. She cares deeply for all creatures and is a great aunt to our cat, Finn.
Jane Swingle
Bridesmaid
Wise, Decisive, Caretaker Jane and I met in middle school and we quickly became best friends. She’s been by my side ever since, even when our lives have physically taken us to different parts of the world. We are both passionate about traveling, and we’ve been lucky to explore eleven countries (and counting) together.
Lia Ray
Bridesmaid
Kind, Dedicated, Self-assured Lia and I met in Spanish class during our sophomore year of college. We became fast friends as roommates during a month long study abroad experience in Mexico. Our similar personalities lended well to us living and traveling together. We continued to bond over our study abroad experiences in Spain, and lived together for a year after college.
Taylor Fahnlander
Bridesmaid
Creative, Curious, Thoughtful Taylor and I met during our sophomore year of college when we became housemates. My first impression was that she was way too cool for me. As we got to know each other and became friends, I learned how incredibly kind she is. We share a love of true crime and bond over our social anxieties.
Sarah Jackson
Bridesmaid
Spirited, Social, Reflective Sarah and I met when we became housemates in college. Despite the five year age gap, we bonded over our common degrees in social work, our love of Mama Mia, and period dramas. Sarah's fun, child-like energy and ability to have deeply reflective conversations is a combination that makes her incredibly special and a great friend.
Peder Solberg
Groomsman
Peder is the middle of us three brothers. We began life together in a small home in Highland Park, St Paul before moving to White Bear. Our childhoods were full of outdoor sports, lemonade stands, lawn mowing businesses, flower sales, and being very competitive with each other. As we got older, we participated in Cross Country, Track and Field, and Boy Scouts. For the last few years, Peder has been getting his PHD at Dartmouth, and has a result, most occasions that he has been in town for have been funeral related. It will be good to have him back for a more cheerful gathering this time.
Tryg Solberg
Groomsman
Tryg is the youngest of us three brothers. When we were little, I often would tow him around in a burley, taking him off of jumps and around tight corners in the woods. He has always been a tough (and sometimes stubborn) little brother. He has chosen to go his own route and is excelling at it. Despite having infinite unfinished projects of his own, he has made time to help me frame and add finishing touches to the tiny home. Tryg has also lived in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan for the last several years so we are glad to see him in town for our wedding.
Tyler Leukuma
Groomsman
I have known Tyler for about 10 years. We started out as roommates just south of St. Thomas. An incredibly kind soul, Ty has helped me with countless projects, no matter how hairbrained of an idea they may be. When I brought a burned down RV trailer home and needed help pulling the debris off, Ty was there to help, despite the hopeless appearance of my “find.” These days, we enjoy biking together, dreaming of snowmobile trips, and camping.
Marty Frascone
Groomsman
Marty and I met our Freshman year at St. Thomas in ‘Engineering 171.’ We grew closer upon being placed in a very small (and impossibly difficult) calculus 2 math class. Unlike the a lot of these guys, Marty and I were never official roommates – that being said, pulling all nighters prepping for engineering exams certainly forms a roommate-like bond. Marty and I love going to cabins, biking, hanging out in lakes, and going on double dates with our ladies.
Mitch Brunkow
Groomsman
I have known Mitch for over half of my life now. We first met in 9 th grade cross country and have been friends since then. It is almost easier to list things that Mitch and I have not experienced together than listing all of the things we have done. From sports, camping, bike racing, and being roommates, to buying cars in our favorite price point (under $3000 = no sales tax), and venturing into small side jobs, it has been a wild ride. I am looking forward to spending time with Mitch and keeping our youthful aspirations as bright as they always have been.
Tim Westmark
Groomsman
In college, I first met Tim on a ski trip to Lutsen. We then realized that we were both in the science building a lot. I don’t know why, but Tim called on me to help him purchase an old ambulance. Believe it or not, he beat Mitch to the punch on this one! Anyways, ever since that moment, we have been good friends. This past fall, Tim, Mitch, and I made it to Duluth by bike despite taking a route that probably will never be attempted again. I love that I can call Tim randomly on a Friday night from the tiny home, and no matter the weather, there is a 70% chance that I can convince him to swing up for some good company.
