Our Story

We are so lucky to have our sisters and friends helping us celebrate our special day. This day wouldn't be the same without them and we are honored to have them by our sides.

My maid of honor, sister, and life-long best friend. Since the day Megan was born she has been blessed with the most wonderful big sister. Growing up we provided each other with opportunities to stand up for ourselves and show off our strength. Today our relationship blossoms into something deeper and more mature, most of the time.I am so grateful to have Megan by my side, today and always.

Behind my sister, I can't think of anyone who knows me like Diana. When you grow up down the street from your cousin, there is a good chance you're going to be close! Together we've shared many memories, friendships, and secrets. We've (you) broken car windows with softballs, graduated together, became teachers, and now we'll stand together on my wedding day!

Diana

Amy's Gas station. Softball Sunday. Jersey Shore.Life has just always had Caelin in it. When we were younger (think Bobby Jack and bermuda shorts), we would solve the world's problems and hang with the boys at the park perfectly centered between our houses. Those little girls had no idea the kind of trouble we would get into.Caelin, your life-long friendship comes with a lifetime of memories, I can't wait to make more!

When Haley and I met in college, it was like reuniting with an old friend. I met Haley and Nicole our first week of college and that was it. We have lived through crappy college houses, a pandemic, lame boyfriends, and snow storms that lead to hours of shoveling. I knew fate played a part in our friendship when we learned her dad had worked with my late grandpa Marvin. Our paths were made to cross Haley Jo, and gosh am I so lucky.

Haley

“She's an old soul with young eyes, a vintage heart, and a beautiful mind" - Nicole Lyons Nicole is the kind of person everyone loves after meeting her just once. Her smile, kindness, and joy for life is infatuating. Nicole reminds me to be patient and always sees the positive. Through the toughest of times, Nicole's friendship has brought a sense of calm and loyalty that goes unmatched. With Haley we have shared some of my favorite memories together. Cheers to many more scare your pants off movie nights, peach wine, and lots of belly laughs.

Something I didn't know before becoming friends with Tia in middle school, is she comes as a package. I have never seen a family that loves the way the Yost family does. Tia can be your biggest cheerleader or your backup in a fight you know you can't win. She loves deeply and has taught me about being a good friend and person. I am so grateful for all the people and love she has brought into my life.Most importantly, thank you for not posting all of our middle school pictures that include far too many duck lips, peace signs, and hair bumps only Snooki could appreciate.

Some people are just meant to be a part of your life. Tom and I basically started our friendship a week after graduating high school. In the two months before college, Tom became a dear friend and introduced me to some great people. He can create an entire dress out of a throw blanket, tear up any dance floor, finds the most obscure YouTube videos, and brings so much joy to my entire family. Tom is truly one of a kind and I know he will bring his own spice to our special day.

I swear Wisconsin is home to some of my favorite people! Another friendship that proves distance doesn't define a relationship. Grace has inspired me with her intelligence and drive for many years now. We have celebrated graduations (a recent masters for her), proposals, growing up, and now weddings! Cheers to an exciting next step for us both!

It is an honor to watch Sam (and Dan) raise the best girls in the whole world. Violet, my fellow big sister! She is filled with kindness, creativity, and big ideas. Kaliope, the firecracker middle child! She will laugh in a way that reminds me exactly of her auntie Tia, a reminder of how lucky I am to know them all. Aliza, the current baby. Even with those strong willed big sisters, her silly personality is beginning to shine! Last but not least, my matron of honor, Sam. How she manages to be a great mom, friend, and sister at the same time amazes me.

Isaac and I met in college, up in Duluth. What was once a mutual friend, turned into a roommate, and quickly a best friend. During this time, Karina and I started dating and the three became very close friends. Though our friendship has had to deal with a lot of long distance, our love (and hate) for sports will forever keep us connected. Thanks for being such a huge part of our wedding day.

Isaac

My little sister, over the years we have constantly pushed each other's buttons but in reality, I am so lucky to have you as my sister. I have loved watching you grow up and become the person you are today. I am so honored for you be part of my wedding party and celebrate this special day with us!

Abby

My best man. Brandon and I met in 8th grade English class, where I sat behind him. From middle school English through high school, we got closer and became best friends. If five years weren't enough, we would go to college together where we grew even closer. With long nights of video games and long days of golf, Brandon is someone who I can always count on and I am so excited that he is able to join our celebration as my best man.

Brandon

Chad and I met in college chemistry and to this day there is no one I would rather complain about my job too than Chad. Unfortunately for him, he understands the struggle far too well. What really brought Chad and I together was our love of board games. In college, Chad introduced me to the wide world of board games and to this day we have a game night almost every week!

Chad

Shaun will forever be my second baseman. Whenever I needed a laugh on the mound to cool down for the next pitch, Shaun was always there to make some dumb joke. From baseball, to golf, to just hanging out, Shaun and I have spent countless hours together over the years and I am so honored to have him as my groomsmen.

Shaun

Caleb, Brandon, and I were like the three musketeers in High School. Almost every weekend and every summer night those two were at my house playing video games till way too late into the night. To DnD nights, many many trips to Perkins, and too late of nights on discord, Caleb has always been someone I can count on and love to hang out with. Honored to have him as my groomsmen!
