Wedding Day

Our Wedding

Katie and David met in the summer of 2014 at VBS. Although Katie was reserved at this point in life, only saying a few words in person to him, David never gave up on trying to get to know her. They didn't start talking again until that following school year, after David's football games. They got closer during this time, and their relationship grew. They were able to navigate a long distance relationship when David went off to college, and it showed them how much the other meant to them. The past eight plus years together has come with lots of ups and downs, but they can't wait to spend the rest of their years as one.

Bridesmaids

"Maggie was a built in friend who came into my life at 2 years old. We met when she was born, but I don't know life without her. We grew up together; often doing the same things. Our bond started as sisters, and has since become a friendship. She is a sister and friend like no other, and I couldn't ask for anything better. She inspires me to be the best person of myself, often times pushing me to get out of my comfort zone to try new things. She exudes confidence and can bring confidence out of every one around her."

Margaret Ferguson

"Sadie lights up a whole room when she walks in. She can make everybody smile, and laugh so hard they cry. I met Sadie soon after she was born, and I remember her being the cutest little baby. At five years old, I couldn't have guessed that baby would not only be my sister, but my friend. She is full of optimism and makes everybody around her  feel secure in their own skin. She wants nothing but the best for everybody around her, and brings out the best in people."

Sarah Ferguson

"Gaby is somebody who always checks up on you, no matter what is going on with her life. She puts others needs before her own, and is a very selfless person. We met just prior to freshman year at UW-Stout through snapchat and got close quickly. Because of how busy life was, plus a pandemic, it wasn't until senior year that we hung out. We lived together that year, and it was by far the best college year I could've asked for. She was by far the best roommate and friend in college."

Gaby Bleese

"Hannah is a beautiful soul who exudes her beauty in every way. She cares for people so strongly and brings a sense of security whenever she's around. I can always turn to her in a time of need, and she is an amazing friend. We met on social media prior to the beginning of freshman year at UW-Stout and our friendship grew quickly. We would get lunch and talk for hours each time. I am eternally grateful that I had her by my side throughout those college years."

Hannah Alderson

"Shelby is a childhood best friend who takes me back to those elementary school days every time we are together. We first met at Wilson Elementary School, hanging out in the cafeteria and playground, only to hangout more after school at softball. We had bonds in school, sports, and art, and she helped shape the person I am today. We can laugh and reminisce about those elementary school days, and we can look forward to our friendship for years to come."

Groomsmen

"We met during my senior year of college at Eau Claire. We coached high school football at Eau Claire north and instantly connected through that. Michael was looking for a house to move into the next year and I was looking for new roommates and we were able to sign a lease together. We were able to bond the next two years and form a great connection and everlasting friendship with each other."

Michael Koehler

"We met during my senior year of college at Eau Claire. I responded to a Facebook post about coaching football where Sonny was the head coach at. We were able to bond through the two seasons of coaching together and developed a great friendship that continues today."

Sonny Anderson

"We met at college in Eau Claire through mutual friends. Through my final semester of college, we were able to connect and become great friends with each other. From spending quality time together with my dog Leo to having Brady delete our madden football league when I beat him, the stories go on."

Brady Berg

"We met during my final semester at Eau Claire through coaching football together. We were able to connect prior to the semester when Ty moved in with me and Michael before the dorms were able to open. Through our love of coaching we were able to bond and form a great connection."

Ty Novak

"Our connection started when I met Katie at VBS. Charlie is like the little brother I never had. Our relationship grew along side of my and Katie's relationship. We bonded through our love of sports and have been able to spend quality time with each other through the years."
