Things to Do

Maria and Paige became friends while bonding over the struggles during their training to become District Managers at ALDI. They wondered where the other one had been all their lives, and moved to Lincoln Park together. Maria is Paige's alarm clock, bartender, workout buddy, and hype woman all in one!

Maria Dechant

Riley and Paige were destined to be friends, when they met on the first day of college in Spanish Class, then found out they lived in the same dorm, and later joined the same sorority. Their friendship has stayed strong through the years, but their Spanish skills have not.

Riley Coyle

Katie and Paige lived down the hall from each other Freshman year at Iowa and the shenanigans hasn't stopped ever since. Most of Paige and Katie's best memories have been made between the hours of 1 am and 4 am. Katie later joined Jack's business fraternity, and after college, Katie also moved to Chicago.

Katie Hendricks

Emily and Paige lived in Quadrangle Hall together Freshman year of college. They are proud members of the "Quad Squad". Emily and Paige spent many hours hanging at Hillcrest Dining Hall, which eventually turned into many nights living their best lives at DCs in Iowa City. Emily joined Paige and Jack in Chicago after Graduation.

Emily Rebik

Chloe and Paige's friendship dates back to 7th grade tennis lessons at Elgin Country Club. They bonded over their lack of tennis skills and decided they should give up tennis, and that they belonged drinking Pina Coladas poolside instead. 

Chloe White

Drew is Jack's brother of 21 years and has always kept him and their family on their toes. While pursuing a degree in civil engineering at Iowa State University, Drew played a great host to Jack and Paige when they visited Ames, IA for his 21st birthday, proving that he is up to the challenge of being one of the three "best men" on their wedding night.

Drew Sannes

Chase is Jack's brother of 17 years and has a drive to keep upgrading his truck (which means making it louder) and tearing up the streets of Cedar Falls in his junior year of high school. Although he will be enjoying a root beer on wedding night, Chase always brings the energy wherever he goes and his fun contributions to the "best men" group will not go unnoticed.

Chase Sannes

Although he is not yet officially Jack's brother, Trent and Jack have always been close and he can be seen smiling in every picture. Trent and Paige have been inseparable since he was born, so it is only fitting that Trent be one of the "best men" in her wedding.

Trent Shockey

Jack and Caine have friends since high school and roommates for 8 years, which proved everyone wrong who thought that they wouldn't make it past their freshman year dorm room at the University of Iowa. Jack and Caine were involved in the same business fraternity in college, and now can be seen together most Friday evenings in downtown Chicago for Happy Hour right after work.

Caine Wildeboer

Jack and Ben have been roommates for over 7 years starting at the University of Iowa and now near Wrigley Field in Chicago. Although the length of Ben's hair has changed dramatically through their friendship, Ben's ability to strike up a great conversation and his love of Irish pubs have not.
