Taylor & Dustin
Wedding Party
Meghan Murphy
Matron of Honor
Meghan is my sister. She is seven years older than me and this definitely does not stop us from being best friends. It is scary how similar we are and it is apparent when we are together!
Allison Linsmeyer
Bridesmaid
Allison and I met in high school when we played softball together. She would graciously give me rides to the field and home, practically every day. We quickly became friends because we were so different from each other that it was refreshing. Keeping in touch is hard, especially after high school, but Allison always made this so easy for us and our friendship. Over the years, she has always been that constant friend that never let me down, was there when I needed her, and always told me like it was. Honestly, Allison and I have not seen each other since her wedding in 2015, but our friendship couldn't be stronger.
Meggie Schmidt
Bridesmaid
Meggie and I met while playing volleyball our freshman year at the University of Dubuque. Meggie and I didn't get to hang out a lot our freshman year because she was a three-sport athlete, but when we did, it was always easy and fun to be together. We decided to live together our sophomore year and it was the best decision we could have made! We consumed way too much alcohol and fast food in that year, it is outrageous. It was and still is easy being friends with Meggie because she never judges and can always make the best out of a boring situation.
Christine Schultz
Bridesmaid
Christine and I met in graduate school when I sat right next to her one day and forced her to be my friend. She was too nice to avoid it and here we are four years later! Christine and I made it through graduate school together and she is always a shoulder to lean on or a listening ear when needed. I am grateful for her friendship everyday.
Ivy Sobotta
Bridesmaid
Ivy and my brother, Mitch, got married in August 2014. I am lucky Mitch brought her into our family and given me another sister and friend!
Meredith Petty
Honor Attendant
Mere's longtime boyfriend, Kody, and Dustin are coworkers and friends which led us to meet at Cottingham and Butler's Christmas party in 2014. Mere and I clicked when we started to spend more time together and I grew to get to know her down-to-earth and non-existent drama personality. She has always had my back and it's always nice to have her there when we are out with our boys. She is never scared to tell the boys to "shape up" if needed and because of this, I knew she was the perfect person to be my personal attendant.
John Keeler
Best Man
John and I became close friends in high school. Our prom dates were mutual friends so we went to get our white tuxedos together. We quickly learned that we had a lot in common. He lives in Chicago now and we both work in the same industry. John is a great friend who always has a good piece of advice. We have had a lot of good times with many more to come.
Austin Hatzinger
Groomsman
Austin "Hatz" and I grew close after we graduated college and both stayed in Dubuque. We found ourselves looking for things to do on weekends so I picked up golf. He had immence patience for my slice on the course. While Taylor was at class on Saturdays, Hatz kept me company. We had some great times. Hatz lives in Austin, Texas now but we stay in touch often!
Travis Sorrentino
Groomsman
Travis is my little brother that always has my back. We only see each other a few times a year but when we do, it's like no time ever passed. We played outside a lot as kids and this passion hasn't left Travis. You will find him on the lake in the summer or on the mountain in the winter. Travis is kind and will give you the shirt off his back.
Miles Hass
Groomsman
Miles is an architect in Los Angles now and I am very proud of what he has accomplished. Miles and I have been friends since freshman year of high school but I feel like we have known each other our whole lives. Miles is kind hearted with grit and determination. I am fortunate that I get to see him monthly due to my work schedule. We often share a laugh about times that gave our parents gray hair.
Luke Parece
Groomsman
Luke and I met in college at the University of Dubuque. He always made a point to say "hi" to me in the commons area during team meals. We started spending time together outside of football and I'm so glad we did. Luke is the most genuine person I have ever met. Luke has a business in Denver, CO now but we always do what we can to see each other.
Mitch Sobotta
Usher
Mitch is Taylor's brother. We are very close in age but didn't grow a close relationship until they both went to the University of Dubuque! This allowed us to have many 3 hour car rides together to listen to music and talk. Although we don't get to see each other as often as we used to, I still love when we do get to see each other!
Adam Murphy
Usher
Adam is Taylor’s brother-in-law. Dustin and I get along well with Adam and Meghan and love getting to see them and hang out when everyone gets back to our parent’s house!
Hattie Murphy
Flower Girl
Hattie is Taylor’s niece and Godchild. Taylor absolutely loves getting to see and spend time with Hattie! Hattie is so excited to be a flower girl and wear a pretty dress!
