Natalie Sadeghi
Matron of Honor
Michelle's older and only sister. The ultimate expert on Michelle's shenanigans. She's the built-in best friend, occasional therapist, and the one who always "lends" her clothes—whether she knows it or not. And while she's the smarter one, Michelle will school her in any trivia game. Through it all, their bond has only grown stronger. From childhood giggles to late-night talks, Natalie has always been there, and now, as Michelle's Matron of Honor, she stands by her side to celebrate one of the biggest milestones of Michelle's life.
Kurt Jantscher
Best Man
Michael's younger brother. While Michael was the baseball prodigy, Kurt grew up to be the bigger, stronger player with a sweet left-handed swing. His brashness and ego, fueled by Michael’s tire-pumping praise, are legendary. He can also rattle off lyrics to every song, mostly just to show off. We’re lucky to have him by Michael’s side—just be ready for a little showboating!
Katelyn Klimowicz
Bridesmaid
Katelyn and Michelle met in 2016 while working at the Resource Group/Magenic on their Talent Acquisition team. They quickly bonded over their shared love of food and adventure. Katelyn, always fueled by her coffee, and Michelle with her matcha, became the ultimate foodie duo. Together, they’ve explored countless restaurants, taken spontaneous day trips, and filled their nights with delicious meals and dancing. Whether it’s trying new workouts or traveling together, they’re always in sync, sharing endless laughter and adventures.
Tom Jantscher
Groomsman
Tom, Michael's older brother, has always been the spark of adventure in their lives. As kids, he was the one catching frogs, playing ball, and dreaming up endless games to keep the fun alive. Not only was he a creative mastermind, but he also excelled in school and embodied unwavering faith. Tom has set a remarkable standard for his siblings, becoming a person of integrity and inspiration. Michael is proud to have him by his side on this special day, celebrating the bond that has always driven their shared adventures and dreams.
Hana Ansari
Bridesmaid
Hana and Michelle met in 2013 while working for their beloved, Minnesota Timberwolves within the Public Relations department. Their shared love for the NBA has only strengthened their bond. Both are huge fans of Glee, Ted Lasso, and many other shows. Hana is always up for seeing Michelle’s favorite band, The Killers, and together, they’ve had some unforgettable concert experiences. It's been said they should go on game shows together because they seem to read each other’s minds—whether it's a pop culture reference or a perfectly timed joke. Their friendship is full of laughs, great music, and a deep appreciation for the moments they share.
Kurtis Host
Groomsman
Michael's childhood friend. From their first-grade shenanigans to epic games of circle ball and that unforgettable go-kart incident (yes, they really got pulled over!), these two have shared countless laughs and adventures. If you’re on the lookout for Kurtis, just head to a Twins game—you'll likely find him cheering on his favorite team! Sometimes, the best friendships are the ones that stick around for life, and Kurtis is proof that you can’t keep a good friend too far away.
Lauren Date
Bridesmaid
Lauren and Michelle met in 2019 while working at Target, where they were paired up on the Data Quality team. From day one, they were the perfect match—truly a dream team. Their sleuthing skills are unmatched, and it seems they always end up on the same team, no matter where they go. Beyond work, Lauren has been a constant source of support. She’s always there for a vent session, offering a listening ear and comfort. They quote or reference The Simpsons frequently and instantly understand each other. They also bond over their passion for the outdoors and travel. Lauren has been there for every date recap, and she knew from the beginning that Michael was the one.
Michael Haugan
Groomsman
As a fellow intern, he and Michael forged a friendship fueled by shared ambitions and the pursuit of professional success. Together, they’ve risen through the ranks, celebrating each achievement with the fervor of two fans cheering for their long-suffering Minnesota sports teams. With sharp wit, Michael navigates this duality—triumphs at work contrasted by crushing losses on the field. He’s not just a smart and reliable friend; he’s a reminder that in the game of life, sometimes you win in the boardroom and lose in the bleachers. Here’s to the two Michaels, tackling the highs and lows of life with a healthy dose of realism!
Alex "AVP" Pickett
Bridesman
Alex "AVP" and Michelle met in 2017 while working on the Home IDS team at Target, and from day one, their friendship was built on playful bickering and quick comebacks. Whether Alex was teasing Michelle about her crushes or laughing over questionable decisions, their banter was always full of humor, laughs and respect. They bonded over a shared love for health and fitness—and, of course, their vice for Coca-Cola. One of their favorite memories was the team quote wall, which quickly became dominated by their sarcastic remarks and inside jokes. It was the source of much amusement for their coworkers. Alex isn’t just the friend with the sharpest comebacks—he’s a loyal, supportive friend who’s always there for Michelle. He was always meant to be a bridesman.
Megan Dunnavant
Groomswoman
Michael’s older sister and a beacon of creativity and support. As the two middle kids, they always found their way together through laughter and imagination. Though they may not have been quite as close during their teenage years, their shared love for drawing Twins players always brought them together. Whether they were giggling in their playpen or teaming up for spirited Circle Ball games, Megan has always been by Michael’s side. On this special day, she brings her vibrant spirit and unique flair, reminding us all that family is at the heart of every celebration!
Reggie Neish
Escorting The Bride
Reggie, Michelle’s older brother, has always been there for her. From their days of getting into all kinds of trouble together to their countless hours spent playing Nintendo, NBA Hangtime and Mortal Kombat, they’ve shared a bond that only siblings can understand. Reggie, the real-life 'Sid' from Toy Story, might have had a mischievous streak growing up, but underneath it all, he’s been the sweetest and most supportive big brother. Reggie’s love and loyalty have always shone through. As he walks Michelle down the aisle, it’s a testament to the unbreakable bond they’ve shared and continue to share. There’s no one better suited to stand by her side on this special day.
