Nick Rogney
Nick Rogney - Best Man
Nick Rogney (Deuce) is my 1st cousin. Growing up, Deuce and I spent a lot of time together. We did many fun things such as golf, fish, hunt, play sports against each other (which I always won) and have parties when our parents were out of town. Anything he says in his best man speech is probably not true.
Kari Larson
Kari Larson - Matron of Honor
Kari is my older sister. Growing up we were always butting heads about who stole whose clothes and overall just typical sibling arguments. As we got older and went to college together, that is when we became much closer. Now we call and talk to each other almost every day and it's been so nice to have her help with all the wedding planning since she's the major organizer/planner of the family :)
Ben Kieckhoefer
Ben Kieckhoefer - Groomsman
Ben K and I grew up in Somerset together. We were on sports teams all throughout grade school together. During high school, we spent many evenings at Ben's farm riding snowmobiles or sleeping on hay bails. Ben and I both attended Winona State and now both teach in Holmen. Ben and I enjoy coaching football together at Holmen High School.
Alicia Larson
Alicia Larson - Maid of Honor
Alicia is my little sister. She is also a major planner and has loved creating me "pinterest boards" and nagging me to send her any of my ideas I have so she can decide whether it'd be cute or not :)
Ben Germain
Ben Germain - Groomsman
Ben G is from Somerset as well and has been a great friend. Growing up we often went fishing at Ben's cabin, my cabin, or my grandparents house. My favorite memory of Ben is beating his catholic school, St. Annes, in basketball during a middle school game. To this day, I will still be in his ear about the win.
Julie Keeney
Julie Keeney - Bridesmaid
Julie is one of my best friends from college. I actually met her through Jordan because she was in his freshmen orientation class. She lived in my same dorm in college so we instantly became really close and "partners in crime". From our "dare" nights in the dorms to the basement house parties, we had so much fun together!!
Tanner Dahl
Tanner Dahl - Groomsman
Tanner and I met at college. We were on the same dorm room floor and became best friends instantly. I had the luxury of rooming with Tanner during college and he did an awesome job of keeping the house clean. Tanner lives in Austin, Texas now, but if you see me on my phone, it's usually using my minutes to talk to Tanner about our Wisconsin sports.
Jessica Taplin
Jessica Taplin - Bridesmaid
Jess is another one of my best friends from college. I met Jess towards the end of my freshmen year. I loved her funny and outgoing personality so we quickly became close friends. We ended up living together my junior and senior year of college!
Zach Warren
Zach Warren - Groomsman
Zach and I have been best friends since he moved to Somerset in middle school. We played sports together through middle school and high school. Some great memories I have with Zach are slaying the walleyes at his cabin during fishing opener.
Sammy Hansen
Sammy Hansen - Bridesmaid
Sammy is also a best friend from college. I met Sammy on my very first day of college because she lived right down the hall from me in our dorm. Sammy walked in my room and introduced herself and instantly we "clicked". We literally hung out probably every day in college after that and we can give her the credit for introducing Jordan and I :)
Rocky Larson
Rocky Larson - Groomsman
Rocky and I have been best friends since we were in elementary school. His house became my second home growing up. We both were very competitive and enjoyed our passion for sports together. You can find us both now sharing our competitive side by coaching football. Rocky is now the defensive coordinator at University of Wisconsin River Falls. One of my favorite memories growing up was screwing the scalpers over and getting court side seats to the Wolves game.
Haley Bassett
Haley Bassett - Bridesmaid
Haley is Jordan's little sister. It's crazy to think I've known her since her middle school days and now she will be graduating high school this Spring! She is so sweet and we have loved cheering her on in all of her sporting events.
Nate Keeney
Nate Keeney - Groomsman
Nate is married to Julie, one of the bridesmaids. Nate and I met in college and became great friends. During the summer, you can find Nate and I at his cabin playing bags and drinking beer.
Lexie Manley
Lexie Manley - Bridesmaid
Lexie is my best friend from high school. We were also "partners in crime" and spent almost every day together in high school including countless sleepovers. When we do get the chance to see each other, it's always like nothing's changed. We are able to pick right up where we have left off and laugh together.
Max Sheahan
Max Sheahan - Usher
Max is married to Kari, Erika's sister. I first met Max at Winona State when Erika and I first started dating. Max has been a great friend and someone I have grown close with over the years.
Luke Buerkley
Luke Buerkley - Usher
Luke and I went to high school and college together. At college, Luke and I roomed together for a few years. Luke is a great person and someone that will always put a smile on your face.
