Hi, my name is Britani! I am the bride's sister (see me for embarrassing childhood stories) and matron of honor. I live in Greendale (suburb of Milwaukee) with my husband Adam, our son Theo, and three cats. When I'm not busy trying to entertain our baby or furbabies, I enjoy drawing, sketching, or really anything design related. I also play the piano (Fun fact: Brenna and I both took piano lessons growing up and would get yelled at weekly by our piano teacher for not practicing enough...oops!) I'm so excited to join my sister and Jared on their big day!
Austin Thebo - Best Man
I'm Austin, Jared's brother and best man. I currently reside in New London, WI with my fiancée Annabelle, and our one-year-old son Carter. The bride has also been a part of my life for several years and has been coined "Auntie B" by the family. My favorite memory with the bride and the groom was coming home from the hospital with Carter and having you guys there with us through the hectic mess. To watch you guys be the first to hold Carter (other than Annabelle and I) was such a special and beautiful moment. In my spare time, I enjoy being a dad and working to support my little family. I also am an avid video game and golf fan; I enjoy getting out to play a round as much as I can. Annabelle is also an amazing cook, and I always love trying her new recipes. A fun fact about me is that I am obsessed with UFC.
Paula Rady - Matron of Honor
Paula is Brenna’s cousin and have been close their entire lives. She grew up in a different state, but always looked forward to her Wisconsin visits to have a sleepover with Brenna at her house. They’d stay up late, watch the Disney channel or a Mary Kate and Ashley movie, tell secrets, and laugh! They’d often pitch a small tent in Brenna’s family room and would feel really cool camping!
Over the years, they have had many experiences and fun times together that kept as core memories… like peanut butter fruit cocktail and a thousand ketchup packets. ;-) Even as adults, Paula (and her family) love spending time with Brenna and Jared and do dinners, crafts, and movie nights. Paula’s little girls look up to both Brenna and Jared so much.
Paula currently lives in Neenah with her husband of 10 years, Matt, and her 2 daughters, Sienna (7) and Scarlett (2). She enjoys photography, hanging out with friends and family, fantasy football, crafts, and being in nature!
Blake Thebo - Groomsman
My name is Blake Thebo and Jared is my second cousin. I currently live in Neenah, WI with my girlfriend Kaylee. My favorite memory with the bride and groom is just us hanging and grilling out, they were always there for me when I have needed it. I love to get out and golf any chance I get, and I take advantage of any opportunity to man the grill. I also enjoy just spending time at home relaxing with Kaylee and my son, Leo.
Tammy Thebo - Bridesmaid
Hello! My name is Tammy Thebo (Jared's mom) and I live in New London with my husband Jeff.
I remember when Jared first got into Air Jordan Shoes. They would release them on East Bay at 12:00 AM. We were camping once and we sent the kids to bed but I told Jared that I would call at 12:01 and get his shoes. So there I was walking around the campground on hold with my credit card in hand, but I got those shoes!! Of course then he had to always get the matching sweatshirt and hat….I always called Jared my fashionista :)
I remember the day Jared first saw Brenna. After a few dates to Culvers and bowling, he told me that he just met the woman he was going to marry.
We just became Grandparents and boy has that been wonderful. We also enjoy spending time with family / friends and riding around in our Camaro convertible exploring breweries, hiking trails and waterfalls.
Jeff Thebo - Groomsman
Hello! My name is Jeff Thebo (Jared's dad) and I live in New London with my wife Tammy. I remember one weekend Jared had a 3x3 basketball tournament and was in a hurry to leave. He put his duffle in the back seat of the car, didn’t shut the door and backed out of the garage. There went the car door and mini fridge that was in the garage. Luckily, we were able to force the door closed and ratchet strapped the two back doors together until Uncle Wayne fixed it for us.
We just became Grandparents, and we could not be more excited. We also enjoy spending time with family / friends and riding around in my favorite toy, our Camaro convertible. I also enjoy exploring breweries, hiking trails and waterfalls with Tammy and my friends.
Cindy Bahr - Bridesmaid
Hello! My name is Cindy Bahr and I currently live in Oshkosh, WI. I am blessed to have two beautiful daughters, Brenna & Britani, who have found two wonderful guys, Jared & Adam, to share their lives with. I am also enjoying my new role as Grandma with my first grand baby Theo, who was born in August. He is adorable! I have worked as an underwriting manager at Verve for the last 27 years. I love what I do, but am also looking forward to retiring in the near future to spend more time enjoying the outdoors and spending time with Mi Amor, Chip.
Chip has been teaching me to sail and shoot sporting clays (it's on my bucket list to beat him someday.) We also enjoy rides on his motorcycle, exploring all that Wisconsin has to offer and more recently, have picked up doing 5k fun runs with Brenna and Jared. We love to be outdoors when the weather is nice, even if its just working in the yard or sitting on the deck.
I love to travel and hope to continue to do that in retirement, I would like to visit Glacier National Park again and one day, hopefully see the Northern Lights. I enjoy genealogy and have been working on our family tree since 2006, I also enjoy spending time with friends and family, playing cards or just chatting and catching up.
Scott Bahr - Groomsman
Hello! My name is Scott Bahr, I am the father of Brenna, I live in Oshkosh with my wife Laurie and our two dogs Poppi and Daisy. My favorite memory with Brenna was all of the "ridiculous" situations we would find ourselves in throughout her childhood. Brenna, her sister Britani, and I would go out almost every Friday while their mom bowled on a league. We would do things like: get lost and force Brenna to find our way back home again, we would pitch a tent in the backyard and run through the trailer park we lived in front of late at night, to get to the pizza place on the otherside before Brenna's mom found out. There were many times where we would go into a store and ask them for supplies we knew they wouldn't have, just to teach Brenna and Britani how to make jokes with a straight face. We would drive through fast food joints, asking them for a 1000 ketchup packets for a wedding and then drive away before they came back to the window. I spent a lot of years "growing up" with my children and I focused my time on being the most influential dad that I could be. These days, I spend time working part time at FedEx and going out to dinner and drinks with Laurie. I have recently been promoted to "Grandpa" so I'm loving that new role and soaking in every part of it that I can. I enjoy working out, spending time training our two new dogs, and doing all I can to keep my child-like sense of humor alive today.
Annabelle Jarosz - Bridesmaid
Hi! My name is Adrianna Jarosz although most of the Thebo clan calls me as Annabelle. I am the future sister-in-law of both Jared and Brenna (marrying Jared's brother January 2025.) I currently live in New London with my fiancé, Austin, and our one-year-old son Carter. My favorite memory with Jared and Brenna would be the first day that we brought Carter home from the hospital. Jared was overall less than impressed when he found out that a newborn can't play with toys yet, and asked when Carter would "be less boring." He is now loving the uncle role, playing toys and hanging out with his nephew now that he is a little older. In my free time, I enjoy cooking and spending time with my little family. Fun fact: I collect snow globes!
Damon Crawford - Groomsman
Hello! My name is Damon and I currently live in Appleton. Brenna, Jared, and I all worked together once upon a time bonding over Mark Andys. The groom and I have been friends for several years after meeting at Heartland. My hobbies include radio-controlled cars, motorcycles, and music.

Kennedy Kriewaldt - Wedding Party Assistant/Usherette
Hi! My name is Kennedy and I live in Greenville, Wisconsin. I'm 13 years old and in 8th grade. Jared is my cousin, and I've known Brenna since I can remember.

I am Jared's first cousin and I can't wait for that title to be official with Brenna, even though we're already family :) I am so excited that Brenna & Jared's big day is finally here and I'm so happy for them!! My favorite memory with the bride and groom is taking their engagement photos last summer. We had the best time and definitely many laughs with the silly poses I had them try!
