Our Wedding

It will be almost four years ago that chance brought us together at an extremely packed, yet awesome Imagine Dragons concert at Summerfest. We officially hung out first at Tony Garcia's bonfire in which Lexi was introduced to people we call our closest friends. We started officially dating July 2013 and we have made history since. We have graduated college, moved to Illinois, both graduated from graduate school (can't seem to get enough education), adopted our fur babies, moved back to Wisconsin, and started our adult lives!Proposal: Couldn't have been more beautiful. Ryan asked me to marry him at Skogafoss Waterfall when we were in Iceland with my parents. It is regarded as the most beautiful waterfall in all of Iceland, and I can't argue! I was giving him grief about taking pictures in the green mossy area, and he knelt down on one knee and I was just concerned that he was going to get all muddy until I realized what he was doing. He asked, and I of course said yes!

Our Story

My beautiful sister. The North to my South.  In some regards, we couldn't be more polar opposites, but she is always there to tell me the honest truth, listen to my stories, let me know when I could pick better outfit pairings, or just when I need my sister.  She has grown so much in these past years, and I have seen its incredible impact on our relationship.  We aren't always on the same page, but I couldn't love her any more than I do.  I couldn't imagine anyone else being  my maid of honor. 

Kate Jankowski

I have known Justin for close to 20 years. He is the closest thing to a brother to me. We have played sports, videogames, board games, and gone through many adventures growing up. Now Justin is a Police officer for the town we grew up in saving it from all the bad guys just as we did when we were kids.

Justin Rzeszutko

Amanda and I met during PA school, possibly the most difficult period of our lives.  I can honestly say that I would not have kept the sanity I have left without this woman.  I have never found someone so selfless, giving, passionate, and caring about her friends.  I know I can always count on her to listen to my ramblings when I need to phone a friend.   I am so glad we got to work on our diagnostic skills, cut up our cadaver, study, countless Starbucks runs, and so much more together.

Amanda Jones

Carl and I first met as Freshman roommates at Carroll. Don't let his grizzled beard fool you. Carl is a teddy bear at heart, asking life's most interesting questions.   If you ever want to hear an excellent German impression, you should see his acting skills at parties. 

Carl Stanfield IV

Although Dylan is a Packers fan, and forced me into watching the Packers win the Superbowl in 2011, we have remained friends.  He even got me my Bears socks for his wedding, so I didn't suffer too much with all the Packers socks.  

Dylan Caliva

Ryan and I couldn't possibly have a wedding without our sisters.  I don't think I would have ever said before this I was excited to have another sister (Kate has been quite a handful ;) ) But I am so glad that Megan is a part of our lives.  Family is extremely important to us and I can't wait to have an awesome sister-in-law!

Megan Waters

Sara and I met at Carroll, she was giving enough (or silly enough) to allow me to move in with her my freshmen year.  We lived together until she moved on to Edgewood College, and I can by far say I couldn't ask for a better roommate and friend.  Sara is one of the most unique people you will ever meet, her heart just fills up a room, and her personality radiates.  

Sara Ruiz

Matt and I attended Providence together. Since than we have not been in the same state as we attended different colleges. He later moved to California as I returned to Illinois. Now Matt is back in Chicago where he does television. You ever want the most interesting movie/television reviews, he is the one to chat with.

Matthew Brassil

Megan and I have been friends for over 10+ years, as long as my mom keeps paying her to stick around ;) .  I can't even begin to describe all the memories we have together, but those are what made it an obvious choice that I needed her by my side.  She would really appreciate if everyone brought her fruit stickers to the wedding, she loves them.  But in all honesty, I am so blessed she has made the choice to stick with me all these years.  We have such an awesome relationship we can go awhile without talking, and pick back up again like it was no time.

If you are looking for a new best friend, Mitchell is your guy. He is the most genuine person you will meet. Mitchell always goes the extra mile to help you out, whether that is helping you move locations or giving free chiropractic fixes.

Mitchell Penninger

 Tony has the biggest smile in the room, and always has  the biggest hugs to follow them.  He has a passion for life that is contagious.

Adam is the Blackhawks #1 fan. He is the only person I have known to climb out of a building on a rope for "science."If you are willing to listen, he will talk your ear off about the stock market.

Adam Kowal

Addison Thayer

Labahn is probably the most professional of us all.  Accountant by week, avid golfer on the weekends.   He will be one of the few people that wear shorts all year round, regardless of outside temperatures.
