Hadley Wahlfeld - Maid of Honor
Hadley and Mary met in high school but their friendship grew even stronger during their years in college! Hadley will let you know - but we'll say it here first - Yes! Hadley did introduce Anthony and Mary in college. They both are very thankful for her friendship over the years and look forward to sharing many more memories with her. It is definitely an honor to have Hadley by my side on my big day!
Jake Williams - Best Man
Jake and Anthony are brothers - there's no denying that. Anthony and Jake spend many weekends hunting and fishing together and share several mutual friends. Anthony was honored to stand in Jake's wedding and we both are so happy Jake said yes to being Anthony's best man!
Joey Williams - Groomsman
Joey is Anthony's oldest brother. Although we don't get to see Joey as much as we'd like - traveling to Washington D.C. the past 3 years have been some of our favorite trips together! We are so excited Joey gets to be a part of our big day!
Sarah Williams - Bridesmaid
As Anthony' big sister I was so nervous to meet her for the first time all those years ago! But I found out Sarah and I relate on so many levels.. first born, only girl, and the princesses of our families! Sarah is always a gracious hostess when we visit Chicago and makes sure we always have a great time. I am so blessed and thankful to gain an amazing sister-in-law! It is an honor to have her by my side on my big day!
Breanna Roling - Bridesmaid
Breanna and I grew up on the same street and even after my family moved during middle school - we stayed close. During our almost 20 years of friendship we have shared many special moments but standing in each other's wedding takes the cake! It is an honor to have her by my side on my big day!
Nick Williams - Groomsman
The youngest Williams brother - Nick is also Anthony's fraternity brother. Nick is a freshman at Bradley University and seems to be following in many of Anthony's footsteps! We just hope he has as good of luck with girls as Anthony did ;)
Amelia Ackerman - Bridesmaid
Mia and I survived childhood, high school, and college together! Ridge Road has blessed me with 2 great friends - Mia also grew up with me and Bre. We have shared almost 20 years of friendship and survived many ups and downs (we've done a lot of moving in our 2o years!). Now that she lives in Chicago, IL we cherish our time together even more. But our friendship picks up right back where we left it every time we see each other! It is an honor to have her by my side on my big day.
Ryan Zobrist - Groomsman
Anthony and Ryan have been friends since their days at Blessed Sacrament School. When Anthony and Ryan are together it's like they speak their own language (it's really weird..) Ryan and Anthony probably have more inside jokes than me and Anthony. Ryan has been a great friend over the years and we are so excited for him to be a part of our big day!
Ryan Lynch - Groomsman
Ryan Lynch is a great family friend to Anthony and Jake. Ryan has been on many Williams family trips and seems to fit right in! Ryan also shares Anthony's love for hunting but even more so for goofing off. Having Ryan apart of our big day means so much to us and we are so excited!
Kelsey Hoffman - Bridesmaid
Although Kelsey and I have only known each other for about 4 years - our friendship is so strong! The connection we shared when we met was so effortless and fun. We have survived college, nursing night shifts, and teacher life. Her love for cats and Malbec makes her the perfect friend to cuddle up with or maybe go a little too hard on a Saturday night. It is such an honor to have her stand by my side on my big day!
Nolan & Oliver Hayes - Ring Bearer
Ring Security on duty! Their classified mission: to protect and escort the rings down the aisle on the big day!
Amelia & Olivia Blackman - Flower Girl
The cutest sister-flower girl duo you'll ever see! Olivia is in 4th grade and Amelia in 1st. Anthony and I are so happy that they are going to be a part of our big day!
