Abby and Ally first met in Minneapolis during the student orientation for PT school at St. Kates, but they didn't really become close until they were in the Dominican Republic doing service work together. Since then, their friendship has blossomed greatly. Abby has gotten Ally to enjoy the occasional Zumba class, and Ally has gotten Abby to be a soccer fan - which worked out well since that is Anthony's favorite sport! One of their favorite things to do is to get together each year to bake Christmas cookies. Since their trip to the D.R., Ally has become one of Abby's closest friends. We love Ally for her huge heart, her intense competitiveness, and her ability to bring joy to anyone's day!

Allison is one of Abby's sisters - the middle one. She is one of Abby's best friends, and her easy-going personality compliments Abby's anxious side very well...most of the time! While they've had their share of arguments over the years, like most sisters do, Allison is the person Abby turns to for anything that comes her way. Allison is creative, thoughtful, and a wonderful artist - so if there's something cool, creative, or fun that you see at the wedding, chances she gave some input. We love Allison greatly and are so happy for her to celebrate this special day with us.

Clare is Abby's youngest sister, and she is the definition of a youngest child - independent, fun-loving, outgoing, and free-spirited. She has graced our lives with so many fun memories, and it has been a joy having her living up in the cities. If any of the sisters is going to be famous, it will be Clare - either for her incredible acting skills, her creative stage directing abilities, or for her Brandi Carlile-esque singing capabilities. Clare is a beautiful soul, inside and out, and she brightens the lives of those around her. We love Clare for many reasons and are so grateful that she is celebrating our special day with us.

Meredith and Abby are cousins and have been close since they were babies. They made up the "3 oldest girls," along with Caitlyn. They were inseparable at all Rolinger Family gatherings, and they have stayed close into their adult years. Meredith has been a confidant for Abby and has taught Abby so much about being a "city girl." Meredith was the first cousin to have a baby, and let's jut say that Abby loves showering Miss Phoebe with all the love. We love Meredith for her amazing party planning skills, her kind and thoughtful heart, and for the light she brings to this world.

Caitlyn makes up the third member of the "3 oldest girls." Caitlyn and Abby are just over one month apart in age, and they have gone through so many life stages together. Caitlyn has been someone Abby turned to when she needed advice, from boys to "Board Exam Scaries." Caitlyn was the one to share the dinner recipe for Abby and Anthony's first cooking date, and Abby's convinced that's what locked in their relationship! Not long after Meredith, Caitlyn had a beautiful baby girl, Ada, and Abby has loved showering her with love as well. We love Caitlyn for her strong personality, her boldness, and for her ability to form strong connections with those she meets.

Sammi and Abby met at UNI. Their favorite joke when asking about how they met is to tell people "we met in Chemistry and had chemistry immediately." Sammi is a person that you can't meet and not love right away. She is bubbly, funny, and always laughing. She knows how to tear up the dance floor, which next to chemistry class, is where she and Abby bonded. They have had many fun memories, from building a blanket fort at UNI to sharing friendship cuddles in Minneapolis or Fort Dodge, depending on who visits who. Sammi and Abby are both in the Healthcare field, and they constantly vent to each other after long tough days. We love Sammi because she is sweeter than cherry pie and cute as a button. We are so grateful that she is going to spend our special day with us.

Alayna and Abby met at UNI. One of Abby's favorite things - Zumba - is what brought these two together. Alayna has been one of Abby's biggest support systems since they met, but especially after she moved to the cities for PT school. Alayna provided a wonderful mental health and self-care outlet during the tough grad school years for Abby. Alayna is confident, assertive, and optimistic, and she has brought Abby out of her shell. While Alayna now lives halfway across the country in Florida, they still try to chat or FaceTime frequently, sharing their latest favorite reads, talking about self-care strategies, or dreaming of wedding ideas! We love Alayna for all the fun and sparkle she brings to our lives, and we are beyond grateful to have her with us on our special day.

Rylee is Abby's oldest friend. They have been like two peas in a pod since they were 3 and met at Denise's daycare. They have had many sleepovers, watched Grease a bajillion times, worked at the daycare, and shared many other fun memories together. Rylee is creative, incredibly thoughtful, and extremely loyal. While they don't see each other often or talk each day, Abby's favorite thing about their relationship is how they can pick up where they left off each time they get together. Rylee is one of the most loyal people Abby knows, and she couldn’t be happier to have her standing by her side on this special day.

Abby met Jess in a Zumba class in 2017. The first time she went to class with Jess, Abby was intimidated. Jess was fun, loud, and dancing like nobody's business. It took awhile, but eventually Abby got over her intimidation and she became friends with Jess. Jess has been there for Abby through many ups and downs, and Jess is someone Abby can turn to. Some of Abby's favorite moments with Jess have been when they get together for vegan dinner and chat about life. Jess is always looking for ways to bring joy to other's lives, and she will forever be one of Abby's most amazing friends. Jess is also credited with introducing Abby and Anthony, so there likely wouldn't be a wedding without her. We are so happy to know Jess, and Abby knows that Jess will help keep everything running smoothly on the big day.

Matthew is Anthony's brother. Matthew is an a**hole.

Anthony started playing travel soccer together with Sean at age 9. Their friendship continued into high school and they have plenty of good stories to share, whether it was "collaborating" on physics tests or extracurricular "festivities" with classmates.

Brad is another childhood friend of Anthony's that began with travel soccer. To this day, they still reminisce about the orange team where they were the only ones who scored yet lost every game...

Anthony first met Emilio at a Happy Joes pizza party and then they were in a quinceañera together through mutual cousins. Pizza and awkward waltz dancing is the foundation of every strong friendship.

The best compliment Anthony can give about Erick is that he is a guy you would let take your sister/daughter on a date and not think twice about it.

Some of Anthony's favorite impaired memories were with EJ. Just ask him to take a shot with you at the wedding and I promise you'll be in for a good time.

Little Miss P is the daughter of Abby's cousin Meredith Dwyer. Even though she's technically a cousin, Abby loves to call Phoebe her niece! She has been such a blessing since she entered this world. She’s growing bigger and smarter each day. She makes us giggle like crazy, and we are so excited to have her as part of our day!!

Miss Ada is the daughter of Abby's cousin, Caitlyn Hagarty-Humphries, and once again Abby likes to call her a niece. Niece, cousin...what's the difference, right?! Ada is the sweetest child. She is constantly changing and growing into the best little human. New photos from her mom and dad always melt our hearts. We are so happy to have her as one of our flower girls!

Noah is the son of one of Abby's best friends, Ally. Abby likes to be called Auntie by Noah, and she's been sure to spoil him any chance she gets. Noah is the happiest child we have ever met, but he is a little feisty too. Right before his first birthday, Noah chose his Pokemon, and he chose charmander...hence the photo we chose for our favorite little guy. We are so happy he's going to help us celebrate our special day.
