Kelsey Grover
Kelsey Grover - Maid of Honor
Best friends since 6th grade—For many years wherever Kelsey was, Heather wasn't far behind. They've shared many memories from passing notes in school, traveling up north, countless sleepovers with friends, and more. Kelsey and Heather's friendship has evolved over time but some things never changed... Like their support one another's dreams, infectious laughter, and that "I totally get it" intuitive nature that comes with being so close for so long.
Catee Granback
Catee Granback - Bridesmaid
Catee & Heather became fast friends as roommates in Chicago. They sure have packed in a lot of adult growth side by side the past 10 years: moving to new cities, adjusting to new jobs, and how to make a fabulous charcuterie board. They've seen each other through major milestones like meeting their life partners who are now also best buds. They both love to travel and once took an 18-day European trip through 3 countries.
Karina Kovacic
Karina Kovacic - Bridesmaid & Cousin
Heather didn't grow up with sisters but was so fortunate to have had such an amazing cousin! These two grew up bonding over mall madness, Mad TV, after school snacks, and their mutual lack of athleticism LOL. They may not phsyically see each other as much as they'd like but talk almost everyday and have stayed close through many seasons of life.
Kelsey Johnson
Kelsey Johnson - Bridesmaid
Best friends since their first day of college! Kelsey & Heather were roommates in the dorms where they'd binge Grey's Anatomy and order in Rosa's pizza.

They've since shared many memorable adventures—often with their other roommates, Mel & Lauren.
Melanie Wellhausen
Melanie Wellhausen - Bridesmaid
Mel & Heather also met their 1st day of college at UW-Whitewater and ended up living together for a few years after. Heather took her first trip abroad with Mel where they visited Mel's family in England. This trip is where their mutual love of wine tasting really started and still continues over virtual zoom calls today. They both love to be creative and often chat about photography or Mel's artful cookie business.
Lauren Ulatowski
Lauren Ulatowski - Bridesmaid
Lauren & Heather lived together for a few years in college with Kelsey & Mel. They may have led a toilet papering of someones' house back then but promise they've matured since. Heather can count on Lauren to always be there for heart-to-heart pep talks, crafty cri-cut creations, googling many medical symptoms, and laughing with snarky and sarcastic jokes.
John Pohlman
John Pohlman - Best Man
Justin and John were a year apart in High School and became fast friends through baseball. For many years wherever Justin was, John wasn't too far behind. They have shared a lot of memories ice fishing, competing against each other in anything possible, partying until the early morning hours, and watching heart-breaking Badgers games. These days even though they don't see each other as often as they'd like they don't miss a beat when they reunite.
