Our Courtship

Our Story

Photos

Erin has been my best friend since 1st grade.  A wonderful women, mother and amiga.

Erin McDonough

Ali is a spunky, fun young lady and is always there for you.  Family oriented and a hard worker. Ali is a local to this area, and loves the Packers. (And all sports) I met her at my first job once I moved up to the Green Bay area.

Ali Gallenberger

Brianna is the sister of Erin, through Erin we became friends.  Bri is a loving soul, a great listener and a dedicated, loving mother. 

Brianna McDonough

This man has been next to me since birth. Not only is he my brother but one of my best friends. He is extremely intelligent and successful. I like to say that my brother got the brains, my sister got the good looks and I got whatever was leftover.

Ryan Julius

I've known Joe since he started dated my sister in 2005. Together they have a son Liam (2). Over the years, Joe has become more than just a brother-in -law and more like another brother and one of my best friends. I couldn't have asked for a better man for my sister.

Joe Wittlin

Jeff and I met almost a decade ago when I became his mail carrier at his car dealership. We became friends very quickly. Now he swindles me out of my hard earned cash ever time I want a new vehicle. Jeff is hilarious,  smart and my best friend.
