Hannah & Eric
Wedding Party
Hattie Winkel
Maid of Honor
Hattie is the Bride's other half and has been her partner in crime since before they were born! Since day one they have done most everything together from piano lessons, to dance classes and now planning each others weddings. In Spring 2020, Hattie, her fiancé Athly and the two doggos decided to pack up and move to Verona! Having her only 10 minutes away has brought so much joy and possibly a bigger hole in our wallets from all the Target runs we do!
Wesley Berg
Best Man
Wes is a life time friend who has been a part of the groom's life for as long as he can remember. They grew up in the same neighborhood and spent much of their younger years dodging in and out of childhood troublemaking. Wes and his wife Abbey are always teaching us something new from how to roll sushi to staying up until 2am learning new board games like Risk!
Megan Winkel
Sister of Honor
Megan is the bride's older sister, guiding light and shoulder that she can always lean on. She is always there to listen and talk through any challenges that arise to help take next steps in the right direction. The two are also travelers at heart and never say no to hopping on a plane and going on another adventure. From flying across the ocean to Germany and England to taking road trips to Florida and South Carolina and beach vacations in California, it has been a fun journey and I can't wait to see where we go next!
Mike Zuiker
Groomsman
Mike is a college wing mate, turned into life-long friend. They met in undergraduate school at UW – Stevens Point and spent the next four years growing up. They both are now taking that next step in getting married and have both grown their family by four paws. Mike and his fiancé Lexi's puppy Lincoln and our puppy Remington have become the bestest pals. We are excited for summertime where the boys can go swimming while we pontoon on the lake!
Grace Winkel
Sister of Honor
Gracie is the Bride's mini-me and youngest sister. These two can be caught staying up late watching scary movies (while Hannah keeps her eyes closed) or just laying in bed talking the night away. Hannah has enjoyed watching Gracie grow-up and become the incredible person she is today. From driving Gracie around in the barbie jeep when they were younger to driving her to her dance classes after school, it has been the best joy to be your personal driver and can't wait to see where life takes us next!
Michael Wenzel
Groomsman
Michael is the groom’s only brother and their relationship has evolved over the years and have become close friends. From hunting and fishing to gaming on the week night's, it is never a dull moment between these two. With Michael now living in Wyoming, we are excited to be making a few road trips out to visit and explore the outdoors and don't worry we won't forget Remi!
Katelyn Winkel
Bridesmaid
Katie is like another sister to the bride. Growing up so closely together, they truly have been a part of every single family and life celebration. Their favorite place on earth is spending time at their family cottage in northern Wisconsin where so many memories have been made. They tell each other everything and Katie always brings such positivity, love and joy into every single day!
Nick Berg
Groomsman
Nick is a life-long friend and like a brother to the groom and is actually Wesley's younger brother. Growing up, Nick, Michael, Wes and Eric formed a close-knit crew who were always looking for their next adventure. Nick and Eric later became roommates, along with Dane, during Eric's time in La Crosse finishing his Graduate program, where they spent many nights studying and gaming.
McKenna Boettcher
Bridesmaid
McKenna is the bride's longest and forever friend. These two have been together since 1999 and you can guarantee that every time they are together there WILL be laughter AND tears, it just always happens! How special it is to have someone in your life where you can go months without seeing each other in person and talk as if a day hasn't gone by. From soccer pals to singing partners to planning our weddings through a pandemic, these two are unstoppable and will be by each others sides until the end! "Every Brunette needs a blonde best friend."
Dane Zoske
Groomsman
Originally from the same home town, Dane and the groom didn't meet until college where they hit it off instantly. Along with Nick, they lived in a college house for a year where they became like brothers. Eric's last year of graduate school completely changed after living alone to moving in with the best buds, spending many days and nights studying, gaming and drinking together.
