Emily & Dylan
Wedding Party
Kelly Bellissimo
Maid of Honor
Kelly and Emily have been great friends since they lived across the street from each other and rode the same bus to kindergarten. They each attended college at Marquette University, and roomed together for a year. Kelly currently works as a biomechanical engineer in Milwaukee. She is also dating the groom's brother and best man, Derek, and could someday be Emily's sister-in-law! No pressure 😅
Alicia Jennerjohn
Bridesmaid
Alicia and Emily met at Evolve where each worked as part of a small team treating eating disorders. Their shared passion plus a goofy sense of humor, and quickly became close friends. Alicia and her husband Craig live in Oshkosh with their three adorable girls.
Lindsey Peterson
Bridesmaid
Lindsey is a nurse working in Milwaukee. She and Em met in college through a volunteer mental health awareness group, and were roommates during grad school. Lindsey was there from the very first moment of Emily and Dylan’s relationship 💕
Olivia Speeter
Bridesmaid
Olivia and Emily met in college as research assistants in a neurocognitive research lab studying Alzheimers disease and dementia. Once for spring break they took a 29 hour road trip without stopping to sleep! Currently Emily and Olivia are both mental health counselors. Olivia recently got engaged to her fiancé Braden ❤️
Bree Gaber
Bridesmaid
Bree is married to Emily's brother Andy, and has been in Emily’s life since grade school. She was also a part of the marketing club at UW-Oshkosh with Dylan, before the couple ever met! Now the two couples live in the same city and have only grown closer.
Eli Marten
Bridesman
Eli and Emily have been good friends since college. After finishing graduate school for Student Affairs in Higher Education Eli moved to New York to work as a college coach. Dylan and Eli share a love of guitar and having awesome beards.
Derek O'Connor
Best Man
Derek has known Dylan since birth, being just one year younger. He is dating Kelly, Emily’s Maid of Honor, leading to extra fun family parties. Derek’s biggest flaw is obviously his love for the Patriots.
Tyler Schmidt

Andy Gaber
Groomsman
Andy is Emily’s older brother, and met Dylan at a Packers game 1 month into the relationship. He and his wife Bree (and their pupper Buck) live in Neenah with Dylan and Emily. Andy is a great smoker of meats and winner of fantasy football trophies.
Paul Gaber
Groomsman
Paul is Emily’s little brother, and the two have always been close. Paul and Dylan share a love of football, dogs, and having a good time (very Wisconsin, right?). He lives in Appleton and is probably Bowser’s favorite visitor.
