Emily Rodenwald - Matron of Honor
Born a little over a month apart as cousins, but grew up to become sisters 💕
Emily is always there with a quick word of advice and comes prepared with her humor and bag full of snacks! The cool mom to her son, Scottie, and Greta's day one ride or die, soul sister! Check out their matching ink on the dance floor 👭🏻
Kiersten Richardson - Bridesmaid
The wise older sister to Derek and Greta's new sister 💕The best multi tasker around raising their 3 littles and makes award winning biscuits and gravy (among other things!)
The big sister that helped shape Derek into the man he is even if it was done with a little tough love in their teenage years (like drop kicking him in the chest 🤣)
Carly Caveny - Bridesmaid
Wouldn't be caught dead in Packer's gear, but would sell her left kidney to meet Joe Burrow (or to go to a 1D reunion concert). Carly can be found on the dance floor, reading her book until sunrise with her dog, or having themed movie nights with the bride since they were in 7th grade. You can thank her for fainting in class that somehow lead the bride and groom to meet!
Ashley Herdering - Bridesmaid
Known to be the dynamic duo throughout school, the bride and Ashley did every extracurricular together from musical, to band, to speech, and synchronized swimming. From eating Pringles and watching movies in her closet, to watching Ashley become the coolest mom to her 2 daughters, these two have been through it all since meeting in the 6th grade
Ali Beste - Bridesmaid
The brown eyed Beste that has been through it all and has always showed up in the bride's life! They have come a long way since meeting in the pool some 17 years ago. They may live 2 hours apart but only in distance never in heart! Ali can be found being the best mama to Theo and creating art on canvas and through a camera lens (check out the Vikings engagement shoot she did!). She also makes the best turtle catching, Mario kart racing - adventure buddy ever!
Kylie Blair - Personal Attendant
Greta's longest running friend (meeting at 5 and 6 years old) that is always there with the best giggle and ready to find the best mimosa/shopping deals around. The kindest person that you will see teaching tomorrow's generation, jamming to Beyonce on repeat, and decorating for Christmas Nov 1st as she eats her favorite ice cream.
Katie Jaeger - Personal Attendant
The fashion ✨icon✨ of the group.
Her heart is bigger than her shoe closet (which is saying A LOT) and she has always been there with a quick laugh since meeting the bride literally the first night, freshman year of college
Billy Hebert - Co-Best Man
That guy that lived in Derek's college house basement dungeon and the high school friend that can be trusted to smoke any meat on the planet and give the shirt off his back. Will answer to Billy, Chuck, Chuckerton and has an excel spreadsheet dedicated to the best chicken wings by category
Matt Swedzinski - Co-Best Man
The other college house roommate and high school buddy that introduced Greta and Derek to each other after meeting Greta freshman year. Even though he has one bad leg and is the most inefficient puker around, Matt is part of the reason for this celebration. If you see him, ask him to sing you a cover of Wagon Wheel for you!
Blake Tiber - Groomsmen
Known for being too nice even as he obliterates you miserably at strategy games, Blake was the best neighborhood buddy Derek could ask for growing up
Affectionately called the smartest "dumb" person in the group, he can create actuators in his sleep yet not know what a geese is
Chris Scott - Groomsmen
Another of the core 6 high school friends, Topher is known for his quick sense of humor and being the "temu TJ Hockenson" with his flowing locks.
If you see him ask him to do his impression of the "Sick Cat Dance"
Jason Chisato-Rodvik - Groomsman
The cool dad of the group that always shows up for his friends (might be 2 hours late, but he WILL be there). Could sell salt to the ocean and is a salt of the Earth guy that survived high school with Derek
Luke Herdering - Usher
"Make Luke puke"
Brandon Wehlage - Usher
The history buff, life of the party, theater kid the bride has known since preschool and has since welcomed the groom into the highschool group (more like kidnapped him, but you get the point) 🤣You might see him break out the Running Man on the dance floor or start a conga line (Fun fact: he had to fake propose to the bride in a play once!)
