Matt is the middle brother of the Feinauer boys. He is the husband to bridesmaid Emily and father to the ring bearer, Bentley! Matt spent the last four years serving in the army, and Michael is so proud of his brother for everything he's accomplished. He serves as a great role model to his younger brother, who will never stop learning from him. Matt has also helped create the best little nephew ever, which Michael will be forever grateful for!
Hope - Maid of Honor
Hope and Isabel have been friends since they met at Camp Lu Lay Lea in 2015! Hope is also a teacher in Illinois, and although they are far away, distance has never tarnished Isabel and Hope's friendship! Isabel appreciates the conversations she is able to have with Hope, because everyone needs someone they can talk about meaningful things with while also having a good time. Hope is kind, thoughtful, and one of the most genuine people you will ever meet!
Kevin - Best Man
Kevin is Michael's oldest brother. Kevin lives on the West side of Michigan, and has been instrumental in all of the life changes Michael has gone through in Grand Rapids over the last few years. He is always dependable for Michael to call on and willing to help out. He also has great food recommendations, and can always be counted on to know a good spot to eat! Michael hopes that Kevin always knows how loved he is by his little brother.
Hannah - Maid of Honor
Hannah is also a longtime friend of Isabel's from camp. She is also an English teacher on the West side of Michigan. Over the past year, Isabel and Hannah have been scheduling regular dinners on weeknights, which has been a great part of Isabel's year! Hannah is always so considerate of others around her, which is a quality of hers that Isabel greatly admires. It has been a breeze for Isabel to be one of her bridesmaids this year!
Hannah is getting married one week before Isabel and Michael, so wish her congratulations if you see her and her fiancé, Weston, at the wedding!
Jake - Groomsman
Michael and Jake have been friends since they were children and met in elementary school (but yes, Jake also went to Camp Lu Lay Lea). They have bonded over sports, video games, weird inside jokes, and their genuine love for guitar and music. Jake and Michael are a great example of two very different people with an incredible friendship that has lasted years despite the odds. The two of them hope to start a band someday and finally make some music together!
Eva - Bridesmaid
Eva is Isabel's little sister ("little" is 17 years old). Although Eva moved to California when she was 12, Eva and Isabel have kept in contact through Snapchat and Zoom over the years. Somehow, despite the distance, throughout the years they developed similar interests, a similar sense of humor, and even the same shopping addiction! Eva graduated from high school in May and is attending San Diego State University in the fall. We are so proud of her!
Josh - Groomsman
Josh is a friend of Michael's from Camp Lu Lay Lea. Though he is a few years younger, Michael and Josh have had some of the funniest and most memorable moments together. You had to be there to get them. Michael appreciates conversations with Josh about politics and life, and enjoys going on double dates with Isabel and Josh's girlfriend, Teagan!
Emily - Bridesmaid
Emily is Isabel's future sister-in-law! She is married to best man Matt, and the mother of the adorable ring-bearer, Bentley. Emily is a professional photographer -- she actually took Michael and Isabel's engagement photos! Emily and Isabel have been in Michael and Matt's lives for a similar amount of time, and Isabel is so grateful for the friendship they have developed. She, Emily, and Kathy are slowly plotting a female takeover of the Feinauer boys.
Bryan - Groomsman
Bryan is another friend of Michael's from camp. Bryan married bridesmaid Karley last October! Michael appreciates that he and Bryan are just two boys going through the same phases of life at the same time. Michael has always felt that he and Bryan will be friends well into adulthood as they share similar values, interests, and perspectives, and now that thought is becoming a reality! This is especially so now that Michael and Isabel have moved to the Detroit area, where Karley and Bryan are!
Karley - Bridesmaid
Karley and Isabel have been friends since working together at Camp Lu Lay Lea. Karley is currently a dental assistant in the metro Detroit area. Isabel was a bridesmaid when Karley married groomsman Bryan last October!
Isabel greatly appreciates Karley's generosity and humor as a friend, and she also appreciates the differences between the two of them! Karley's adventurous self brings Isabel out of the comfort of her room to do fun things that she wouldn't usually do! Everybody needs a friend like Karley :)
Sean - Groomsman
Sean is another friend of Michael's from camp. Sean and Michael share a similar sense of appreciation for the place that camp holds in their hearts, and a lifelong friendship has been the product of that. Throughout the years, Sean has always been the instigator for random midnight hangouts, and Michael has never been known to say no, whether it's driving 50 minutes for doughnuts, going ice skating, or just hanging out at the parks in Saginaw. Michael and Sean are just two guys down for a good time!
Elena - Bridesmaid
Elena and Isabel met at camp many years ago, and Elena is part of yet (ANOTHER) camp couple that is getting married this year! You will see her at the wedding with her fiancé Eric, one of Michael's good friends. Elena is the true definition of a girl's girl, always putting her friends above herself and doing whatever she can to make sure everyone has a good time. At camp, Elena shared quarters with Isabel, Hope, and Hannah, and she was also a bridesmaid in Karley's wedding last October. These friendships have lasted so long because of the kindness and care given to each other, and Elena is a great example of that kind of friend!
