Wedding Party
Heather Lyon
Matron of Honor
Heather and Raven met at a high school play audition and have been besties ever since. Raven has attended more of Heather’s family holidays than her own family’s. Despite living one Great Lake apart, the two are still inseparable and wouldn’t know what to do without one another. Heather is strong, independent, and the most loyal person to the people she loves. She is exactly who you want in your corner backing you up and that is no exception for the wedding!
Josh Kaczmarek
Bridesman
Josh and Raven first met in 7th grade when Raven transferred schools. The two have always been close but as the years have gone on their bond has strengthened into something unbreakable. You can’t find two more opposite friends but both would do anything for the other. There is not a single person who meets Josh and doesn’t love and adore him. Josh will be the person at the wedding to drag everyone on the dance floor!
Jeremy Osborn
Bridesman
Jeremy and Raven met in high school and eventually became friends when Jeremy asked Raven for a job at the Ren Faire. Raven is responsible for introducing Jeremy and Heather to one another (you’re welcome) the three friends, despite living in three different states, always make a point to stay connected with each other. Jeremy is, in fact, the friend who is always thinking of the next pun to get you to roll your eyes and crack a smile. Jeremy has always made sure to keep Raven young and wild at heart.
Bailey Pinter
Bridesmaid
Bailey and Raven met through the boys. The two didn’t truly become friends until going on a girls day, and nothing brings two people closer then doing tequila shots at 1pm at a Texas Roadhouse. Bailey may be Raven’s smallest friend, but she is definitely the most feisty. Bailey is one of the kindest souls you will ever meet in this world. Anyone who is friends with her knows what unconditional love feels like.
Renee Gritzner
Bridesmaid
Renee and Raven instantly became friends; the two have become quite the duo. They are always getting in some kind of new shenanigans together. Renee is the only female friend Raven has that can, in fact, drink her under the table; she is the life of the party! Renee is the kindest and most caring person that you could ever meet. She is the person who would give you the shirt off of her back and do absolutely anything for anyone.
Rachel Turuc
Bridesmaid
Rachel and Raven met at a housewarming party and bonded over their mutual love for Toyota Tacomas. Once the two got talking there was no stopping; the two have become close friends since. Rachel is the type of friend that will listen to all of your problems and help find solutions. Rachel is always smiling and laughing, she is such a wonderful, and joyful person to always have around.
Devin Erikson
Best Man
Devin is Vinny's oldest brother; the best day in Devin’s life was October 24th, 1992. The day Vinny was born. Devin definitely paved the way for Vinny when they were younger; Devin played baseball and wrestled and so did Vinny. It probably did get frustrating for Devin wrestling once Vinny got bigger than him. Devin has always looked out for both of his younger brothers and will definitely help them whenever he can, especially now that after 10 years he finally moved back to Wisconsin from Iowa.
David Erikson
Best Man
David is also one of Vinny's older brothers. David has always been the brother looking for a good time. When David lived in Monroe, he joined the local curling club and introduced Vinny to a ton of fun. David always invited Vinny out to Monroe on the weekends and made sure it would be a time that they couldn't forget. When Devin was off at college, David always looked out Vinny, especially when it came to the brother code. David is also an amazing father to his two young boys.
Cody Doane
Groomsman
Cody and Vinny met in high school, and they have been at each other's sides ever since. Their friendship started after a race back to Lyons from Burlington late one Saturday night. Between working on snowmobiles, cutting down trees, and demolition derbies, there isn't anything they won't do together.
DJ McCourt
Groomsman
DJ and Vinny started their friendship playing little league baseball together. As soon as both of them got their drivers licenses, their passion for wrenching on engines made them even closer. They might go months without seeing each other, but no one would be able to tell. There definitely isn't a safe Bud Light when these two get together.
Jerome Pinter
Groomsman
Jerome and Vinny met while working at Custom Truck. The first time these two hung out afterwork, they could tell it was going to be a wild ride. From Brewers games to concerts, they have done it together. Motorcycle rides are always a blast when Jerome brings out the Honda Mini Glide.
Brandon Vlach
Groomsman
Brandon and Vinny first met working together at CTE in the Fabrication department. They unexpectedly became friends after Brandon lit Vinny's beard on fire!!!!! If there is ever spare time to fish either open water or on the ice, that's where you will find them together.
Logan Erikson
Ring Bearer
Logan is Vinny's oldest nephew. Don’t be surprised of you hear him call Vinny uncle Denny.
Luke Erikson
Ring Bearer
Luke is Vinny's youngest nephew. The smile Luke makes is definitely contagious, so be ready for your cheeks to hurt.
Kamryn Kasten
Flower Girl
Kamryn is the daughter of the bride and grooms close friends. She is one of the bravest kids there know, she has no fear. It’s impossible to to not smile when she is around. She will be a huge help in wrangling the ring bears on the day of our wedding.
