Hailey’s younger sister, perfectly embodied by the youngest child stereotype. Emily has stood by Hailey’s side since her first day of life, unable to resist Hailey putting her in baby doll clothes and playing house in her infancy. Throughout the years, Emily and Hailey have shared so many memories including spontaneous dance parties, jamming out on car rides, boxing in the kitchen with oven mitts and sleep overs in Hailey’s room.
Ali Nigel - Co-Maid of Honor
Hailey’s older cousin but basically sister. The Ali-Hailey duo has frequently concerned the family, leading them to question their sanity and life decisions. The energy on the rowdy annual girls trip is supplied in full by Ali. As crazy as life is it would be incomplete without her in it. Virtually every phase of their lives has aligned leading to unmatched support, love, and encouragement by Ali.
Jessie Spirnak - Bridesmaid
Joe’s older sister, Joe and Hailey’s best friend. Jessie moved out to St. Louis as soon as she met Hailey, destined for a forever friendship. Jessie is the baker in the St. Louis trio, which is greatly encouraged by the taste testers, Hailey and Joe. Jessie has not only spoiled our tastebuds but has raised the standards for any bakery we step into, for better or worse…
Lauren Stollenwerk - Bridesmaid
Hailey’s future sister- in-law. For some reason is marrying Hailey’s brother, Steven. She helps balance out the fashion sense in that couple. Thank you Lauren for buying Steven adult pants so he finally stops wearing childrens size 14 Old Navy khakais. Even though you may be buying Steven pants, we all know who really wears them.
Hannah Wuerfel - Bridesmaid
Hailey’s high school best friend, college roommate, and post-college squatter. Hannah was the first family/friend of Hailey’s to meet and give the ole “okay” on Joe. Not only did she witness the start of a beautiful relationship but also saw the rare sighting of intoxicated Joe. Hannah never fails to see the best in everyone no matter the alcohol content and is the most optimistic person ever, unless you bring up Kohls Department Store…
Melissa Torbey - Bridesmaid
Hailey’s college friend and road trip buddy. Melissa has a unique skill of making the most daunting tasks fun, whether that be completing pre-med classes together, planning a cross country move over massive Bloody Mary’s and cheese curds, or their epic road trip. Hailey helped Melissa move from Wisconsin to New Mexico in the most unforgettable 3-day drive taking detours to Nashville, the International UFO Museum, sand dunes, and the world’s largest pistachio statue.
Madison Berg - Bridesmaid
Hailey’s college roommate. Hailey and Madison met their freshman year of college and roomed together for the remaining 3 years. They learned how to be adults together, by cooking meals consisting of cheese and crackers, chicken nuggets, ice cream, and Trader Joe’s dark chocolate pb cups. They attended nearly every Badger tailgate and football game together. The only gifts they have exchanged is Pedialyte for ibuprophen, fitting since Madison is a doctor of drug dealing (aka pharmacist).
Vivienne Schlomer - Bridesmaid
Hailey’s college roommate. Vivienne is the only one of Hailey’s friends in the military, a stark contrast from Joe’s groomsmen. Vivienne is a true badass, putting Harley Davidson to shame. Not only that but most of what Hailey (and the other friends in the group) knows about all things fashion and beauty comes from Vivienne.
Groomsmen
Jon Spirnak - Co- Best Man
Joe’s older brother. In stark contrast with Josh, Jon always pushed Joe to work harder in whatever he was doing. This was especially apparent when Jon was preparing for his wrestling class in college by practicing for countless hours on his much younger brother. Jon usually pinned Joe within seconds and would eventually get frustrated at how easy it was, pushing Joe to last a little longer before he said “uncle.”
Josh Spirnak - Co- Best Man
Joe’s oldest brother. Husband to Lara, father of 2 hearty boys, Grey and Georgie. Into all things whiskey, beer, and meat. Growing up, Josh always persuaded Joe to “do less.” From convincing him not to do his homework so they could go hang out to frequently pulling him out of school so they could go snowboarding, Josh has always been a positive influence on Joe.
Erik Johnson - Groomsman
Hailey’s older brother. Somewhat of a skeptic at heart. Keeps the family up-to-date with the newest conspiracy theories and reddit threads. Recently adopted an adorable kitten named Clara before he realized that (A) he doesn’t really even like cats and (B) cats live to like 25 years old so he and Clara are in it for the long haul. A new homeowner, maybe you could give him so old basement “gems”…
Steven Johnson - Groomsman
Hailey’s younger brother. Loves to collect/hoard random stuff – locks, ropes, nail clippers… Dedicated father to numerous animals. Currently in med school in Chicago for the sole reason of being able to admire “The bean” Every. Single. Day.
David Turk - Groomsman
Joe and Hailey’s close friend from med school. Also friends with Joe from high school. A man so dedicated to his Slovenian heritage that he still returns to the homeland yearly for at least a month. Dave has always dreamed about finding a wife who was fit to “Tend the sheep,” whatever that means… He also famously missed qualifying for the Boston Marathon by 1 minute due to an emergency bathroom break at mile 10.
Michael Morissette - Groomsman
Joe’s childhood friend, aka third brother. Essentially lived at the Spirnak’s house most summers growing up. Once left 12 consecutive voicemails on the Spirnak’s answering machine asking if Joe could come over and play. Joe and Mike’s childhood was primarily spent playing (or sustaining minor injuries) out the Spirnak’s or Morissette’s backyard.
Nick Kahler - Groomsman
The only Zoomie in the family. Jessie’s fiancée and one of Joe and Hailey’s closest friends. The only one mentally tough enough to discuss planes with the father of the groom for hours on end. A man of versatility, Nick is also able to pivot instantly from planes to discussing superheroes with Grey and Georgie Spirnak. He is held in utmost admiration by the ring bearer, Georgie, and also rumored by Grey to have the softest skin around.
Frank Bell - Groomsman
Joe’s college roommate and close friend. A man of impulsivity. Once jumped headfirst into a blackberry bush, just because… Somehow convinced someone to let him fly jets as a Navy pilot. Spent most of his time in college watching Sacramento Kings highlights or sleeping on the eve of a big final.
Flower Girls
Anna Wagner - Flower Girl
Eldest daughter to Hailey's cousins Joe and Jess Wagner. Her life goal is to grow up and become a princess, little does she know she already is one.
Vivienne Kehoe - Flower Girl
Second daughter to Hailey's cousins Steph and Tim Kehoe. Hailey and Joe unofficially adopted Vivienne for a weekend while in Kentucky.
Ring Bearer
George Sprinak - Ring Bearer
Josh and Lara Spirnak’s 2nd kid. Quite the Mama’s boy. Embraces the role of the 2nd child to his core.
