Our Wedding

Anna and Andy met while students at Riverside University High School, in Milwaukee. Living in the same neighborhood, and having similar friends, they saw each other often. Andy's senior year - prom in fact! - they shared their first kiss. The couple dated the summer before Andy left for college at the University of Minnesota. Though they were young and stupid, they had enough sense to know that 17 year olds can't handle a long distance relationship, so they broke up - but stayed friends.The next year, Anna moved to Chicago to attend DePaul University. Anna and Andy would see each other occasionally while visiting family and friends in Milwaukee over holidays. They even visited each other at school. But, they still lived 400 miles away from each other, and knew a long distance relationship wouldn't work. After graduating, Andy remained in Minneapolis, and Anna in Chicago. In the spring of 2012, Anna was visiting Minneapolis with friends, and asked Andy to get together. She ended up extending her trip an extra day, so that they could spend more time together. After that weekend, Andy planned a trip to visit Chicago. After a couple more visits, the couple decided to see if maybe, just maybe, this crazy long distance thing they'd been avoiding for years just might work. Turns out, it wasn't so bad. Anna and Andy traveled back and forth from Minneapolis to Chicago for a year, before Anna found a job in Minneapolis and moved up. Four months later, Andy bought the house they now share. And three years later, here we are.

Our Story

Anna's older brother, Luke, will be the best man. They have, obviously, known each other their whole lives. After a little bit of harassment and hazing, Luke has embraced Andy as part of the family. And thinks Andy could probably do better than his little sister.. 

Luke Strattner

Andy's older sister, Megan, will be the Maid of Honor. Because they are so close in age, the two have always been friends. Megan has always been the cool older sister, allowing her younger brother to tag along with her friends. Whether it's FaceTiming or weekend visits, Megan remains close in Andy's life.

Laura and Anna have been friends since middle school. They went to different high schools, but couldn't bear to be apart after that, and both went off to college together at DePaul. After graduation, they lived together in Chicago. Though currently apart, Anna has several schemes in the works to trick Laura into moving to Minneapolis.

Jake and Andy met freshman year of college, and lived together as roommates for many years. They spent some time apart after graduation, when Jake got a job in La Crosse. But, when Andy bought his duplex, Jake came back to Minneapolis to live upstairs! Jake recently decided he was moving out to buy a house of his own. Knowing they couldn't stand being too far from one another, the house he settled on is only 3 blocks away.

Jake Chandler

Jackie and Anna have been friends since middle school. With September birthdays, they were both always the oldest of their friends. They got to experience all milestones together. First to see R-rated movies - together. First to get their driver's licenses - together.  First to turn 21 - together. (For their epic, two person pub crawl of 21 bars in 7 days!) 

Jackie Charles

John and Andy have been friends since childhood. Growing up in the same neighborhood, they became fast friends. They both got their first jobs working at a bike shop, where they developed and fostered their passion (read: addiction). Between the two of them, they have more bikes than you can count on both hands. 

John Jeske

Will and Andy met in college. It's tough to determine who is the instigator of the shenanigans they inevitably get into when together - so it's probably most accurate to describe them as "partners in crime." Many of their best, if somewhat ridiculous, stories include each other. 

Will Meland

Stephanie and Anna have known each other since elementary school. After a brief stalking phase of their relationship - in which Stephanie would mysteriously and unexpectedly show up at Anna's bus stop and house, they became lifelong friends.
