Wedding Party

Abby Smith

Maid of Honor

Abby was Brook's first friend when she transferred to UW-Madison and went through the education program together. Since then, Brook and Abby have been roommates, co-workers, and best friends.

Alex Perez

Best Man

When Michael had to decide who his best man was going to be, he knew without any hesitation it was going to be his brother, Alex. These two had their fair share of bickering while growing up, but they always had a good time gaming, having Alex teach Michael new sports, or when they wanted to tease their younger brother, Zack.

Christy Fuller

Bridesmaid

Christy and Brook's friendship go back to high school. Her husband and Michael were friends which connected Brook and Christy. Since then Christy and Brook have gone on many adventures together and best friends for life.

Brandon Fuller

Groomsman

Brandon and Michael have been friends since Michael moved to Franklin in 5th grade. Brandon has always been someone Michael can count on; whether it's some advice or playing a game of FIFA. Brandon is the type of guy that can make anyone laugh at any given time, and will listen to any song that you send your way. We are so excited to have Brandon part of our special day.

Jenna Suhr

Bridesmaid

Brook's cat-loving, Taylor Swift-obsessed friend. These two started their friendship when they were roommates and when COVID-19 hit, Brook, Jenna, and their other roommate Megan bonded over Love Island and would religiously watch it every night. Since their roommate days, Jenna has been by Brook's side through it all... even during her Tuesday Night line dancing.

Jake Darrington

Groomsman

Jake is the brother of Brook who Michael has become increasingly close with through out time Brook and Michael have been together. From the early years in High School when Jake would dominate the indoor snowball fights at Christmas to the later adult years watching the Bucks go on a championship run Jake has always been someone Michael could rely on to liven the mood and lift the spirits of those around him.

Samantha Gaura

Bridesmaid

Thank god Michael and Samatha's husband were roommates in Platteville, because if that didn't happen, Brook and Samantha wouldn't have met. Samantha is Brook's right-hand woman, and shopping partner for life. Brook was so lucky to stand by Samantha's side on her wedding day, and Brook knew that she couldn't do her big day without Samantha by her side.

Ben Hansing

Groomsman

Ben and Michael's friendship really started to grow after high school when they went to UW-Platteville. So much where they decided to live together for 4 years. They had their weekly traditions such as Tuesday Night-Taco Night paired with an episode or two of Community. They also decided to make long boards together and ride down some of the steepest roads they could find. If there is ever a project Michael wants to do, he knows he can call Ben to help him out.

Lexi Scott

Bridesmaid

Lexi was Brook's freshman roommate at Winona State. The memories that the two of them made is unbelievable Fast forward 8 years later and Brook and Lexi are still laughing about those memories. Brook and Lexi are friends for life and Brook couldn't ask for a better first roommate.

Cody Kennedy

Groomsman

Cody and Michael have been friends since high school and a friend that Michael can always count on. It wasn't until after high school where their friendship really started to grow. Cody taught Michael so many things; listening to Logic, how to win a Madden competiton, and a good game at 2k. Cody is a friend that Michael can count on no matter what and he couldn't imagine not having Cody be part of our special day.

Megan Avery

Bridesmaid

Megan and Brook's friendship started when they were roommates with Jenna (the other bridesmaid). Besides, obsessing over Love Island, Brook and Megan would try to do their Chloe Ting workouts outside, and be drinking vodka waters with crystal light... more often than we'd like to admit. Even though Megan is rocking it as a pharmacist down in Texas, she is still Brooks life-time friend and couldn't imaging not having her by her side on the big day.

Lillian Johnsen

Junior Bridesmaid

When Brook and Michael started planning their wedding, they knew they wanted Lily to be part of their special day, they just didn't know how. Then, Brook decided that having Lily as a junior bridesmaid was perfect for her. From Lily screeching "What did you say?", to her middle school "aesthetic" talk, Brook wouldn't be able to do this without Lily part of this special day.

Eleanor Johnsen

Junior Bridesmaid

Brook remembers the day Ellie was born, when Michael says in chemistry class, "do you want to see a picture of my little sister? She was just born". It has been so great seeing Ellie grow up to be the amazing girl she is. Even though she's now too old to be a flower girl, we wanted her to be part of this day (maybe with some good knock knock jokes).

Lainey Gaura

Flower Girl

We are so lucky to have Samantha's daughter, Lainey be our Flower Girl. This little girl is so fun, and guaranteed to bring a smile to anyone's face. We love you so much, Lainey Baby!
