Ashley and I met in grade school and became best friends senior year. Ash and I have remained close while attending separate colleges (go green!) and celebrating other significant life events. We love a good day at the spa, priceless gut laughs, and the obvious 4th meal, also known as "second dessert". She's a real, one-of a kind peach and I am so honored to have her part of our special day!

Jordan and I met freshman year at MSU and became quite the duo shortly after. She's a wild card in the best possible way, predictably unpredictable, and always down for a great time. We can be spotted in our prime with a bottle of quality vodka (preferably in Caseville or Clare Michigan), near freshly carved pumpkins, or transforming into the infamous Panda and "Puss" (cat). In all seriousness, Jordan is a legit diamond of a friend, and I am so excited to have her be with us on our big day!

Janessa and I started started as cousins, now we're here. Although she's years younger than me, she's wise beyond her years and has always been a positive light in my life. She's tiny, sweet, and spunky. Together we love going to country music concerts, relaxing by a bonfire, or whipping up something new in the kitchen. She's an amazing person and friend and we are so excited to have her be by our side on our wedding day!

Chelsea and I met at MSU freshman year. We were part of the same sorority, stayed close throughout both of our grad school programs, and even enjoyed each other so much we decided to live together for a bit as we started to take on life's adventures after college. Chels and I have always enjoyed a good nap, happy hour, and traveling together. We can't wait to spend our day with you!

Nucci and I met at MSU in our Sorority. We quickly became close and even got the opportunity to be roommates. Nucci is my go with the flow friend who is always down for a good time. We enjoy long catch up sessions, full glasses of wine, and door dash deliveries. We can't wait to have you be part of our special day!

Ash and I met farther back than I can remember (preschool)...and this is where it all began. For the next 18 years we could be frequently found eating ramen noodles with extra beef, playing Mario Party or zipping around on our snowmobiles. She was my first best friend and I am so happy we've shared so many of life's adventures together. We enjoy going to brunch, working out, and attending any country concert. Ash has always been someone I can count on and we are so happy to have her join us for our big day!

Sarah is one of my original OG's from Bad Axe. Since I met Sarah, she's been the life of the party so having her in our wedding was a no brainer. She brings the dance moves, cold drinks, and entertainment wherever she goes! Sarah and I can be found sitting at a bonfire sipping on a margarita or doing karaoke in her kitchen. We can't wait to celebrate with you!

Perrin and I met just a couple years back and somehow she won me over shortly thereafter. She's been a rockstar friend to me, mom to my nephew Sebastian, and partner to my brother, Trevor. We love online shopping, sharing recipes, and Detroit Cookie Company. We are so honored to have you be a part of our wedding crew!

Sister to Marco, and shares the same passion and love for animals and photography. Kathleen is a professional pet photographer and owner of KatKu Photography, local to metro Detroit. Kathleen is the youngest of the Ku family.

Zoey is our only niece. Zoey loves going boating and biking with her dad, and hanging out at “Grammy’s Camper”. This girl has no fears and is always ready for an adventure and a good laugh! As soon as Zoey found out how much Marco loves to play tag, she was pretty much sold on getting another official Uncle. We can’t wait to celebrate our special day with you!

Mike and Marco met through Derek while working at Whirlpool. Derek invited both of them to lunch where Marco was quiet and Mike thought he was too cool to be there. Soon after, they were hitting all the buffets in the local area during lunch, playing sports, helping Marco with housing projects and been friends ever since.

Derek and Marco met at his first job out of school working for Whirlpool. We don't exactly remember how everything went down, but we have been friends ever since. Derek and Marco shared a lot of common interests in sports and even introduced Marco to golf.

Marco and Garrett first met while exploring the iron paradise (the gym) of picking heavy things up and setting them back down. Their friendship has evolved over the years but they stay connected through their love of staying active and watching sports.

Brother of the same mother, Kevin is Marco's older brother and they share the same passion for the gym, trying new foods and sports.

Mike, his wife Jordan, and Courtney have been quite the trio since college. Together, they've made many memories including taking on Cheeseburger in Caseville, St. Patrick's day in Clare, cheering on the Lions in Baltimore, and representing the three blind mice for Halloween. There aren't many things the three of them haven't gotten into. Following suit, we are so excited to have Mike join the wedding party for our big day!

Tyler is the oldest of the three siblings in the Shemka family. Tyler is known for being goofy, his unique dogs (feel free to ask him for some evidence) , and being that role model dad. He loves any and all activities/sports, especially if his daughter Zoey is able to be his partner in crime. Tyler will be found on the dance floor showing off his moves and we can't wait to see them...

Trevor is the youngest of the Shemka siblings and arguably the one that grew up the fastest. He's known for his juggling skills, witty jokes and being an all star dad to Sebastian. Trev is always looking for a good time and we can't wait to celebrate our special day with him.

Sebastian is the youngest member of the Shemka family. He loves monster trucks, jumping on his trampoline, and hanging out with his cousin Zoey or “Zzz”. He’s sweet, super smiley, and so smart. We can’t wait to see this little man walk down the aisle in August and show us all his dance moves on the dance floor!
