Our Story

Carolyn Jansen

Marta Burke

I am excited to have the support of my two older sisters standing with me on my wedding day. Beyond our childhood together, both have been with me through major transitions and milestons in my life. Carolyn is a fellow Marquette graduate, and we were fortunate to overlap 1 semester in college. She was always available for study dates or a meal together in the dining hall. It was such a comfort to have my big sister on campus during this time, and we will always to get to share the bond of being former Golden Eagles. When I transitioned to graduate school, I had the luxury of being much closer to Marta in Chicago. One of my favorite memories of that time is walking to her apartment after my externnship downtown, ordering food, and watching the Bachelorette together.

Noah Tessmer

Much like Nora, I'm super excited to have the incredible support of my wonderful friends, Kyle and Noah. I've know Kyle since elementary school and we played many years of soccer together. I first met Noah in middle school, but our friendship started growing more in high school and college. We eventually spent 4+ year living together. These guys really helped to make high school and college some of the best years of my life (other than the years I've spent with Nora!), and have provided so much support over the years, through thick and thin, and I couldn't be more honored to have them celebrating the big day with Nora and I.
