Anna and Jenn Pratt (Maids of Honor)
Anna and Jenn are my best friends who just happen to be my sisters. Anna and I grew up doing everything together and not much has changed (we work at the same place, played on the same soccer team, and hang out all the time). I am so proud of her for her accomplishments in life. I am so lucky to have a sister like her to look up to and experience life with. Even though Jenn was 5 years younger I knew someday she would be a best friend to me and she is. In fact, she has become such an amazing influence and support unit in my life. Jenn is the most loyal, loving, and fun sister/friend anyone could imagine.
What they bring to the wedding party :: Jenn will be the youngest in the wedding party, but you'd never know. She is so laid back but can sure teach us all a thing or two about how to have a great time!
Anna is the life of the dance floor and tells hilarious stories...just ask her if she's ever had a bad date!
Eric Jerve (Best Man)
Adam and Eric were best friends growing up in Montevideo where he was a regular in the Maus basement when they weren't mad at each other. When they get together, there is never a dull moment. Eric has been a loyal friend to Adam throughout the years and will be an amazing life-long friend.
What Eric brings to the Wedding Party ::
Lots of laughs and the delivery of what promises to be a very entertaining speech.
Josh and Beth Maus (Groomsman and Bridesmaid)
Adam's brother Josh and his wife Beth have been amazing friends to the couple from the day Adam moved in with them post college. Josh has already been the brother Betsy never had by helping her navigate the twin cities roadways and teaching her the ins and outs of poker. Betsy and Beth were instant friends, having so many common interests. Josh and Beth have always been there to help us through life with a lot of laughs along the way! Even Bandit and Cyndal are inseparable!
What Beth and Josh bring to the wedding party ::
Beth has set the bar quite high for extreme dancing in a wedding dress! Josh will have plenty of words of wisdom for Adam on the big day, and bring a lot of laughs throughout the day with his quick sarcastic comebacks.
Izzy Maus (Groomsman)
Izzy is Adam's older brother. The two are alike in many ways such as their construction skills, mood swings, and a killer sweet tooth.
What Izzy brings to the wedding party :: Experience (from his own wedding) and lots of brotherly advice.
Angie Arndt (Bridesmaid)
Ang is Adam's big sister and new mom of the first Maus grand baby! Angie welcomed Betsy into the family from the very first time they met. She has so much love to give and holds her family in the center of her world always.
What Angie brings to the wedding party ::
Ang lights up a room with her contageous laugh.
Mitch Bain and Carter Shay (Groomsman and Ring Bearer)
Mitch and his son Carter are both very important to us. Mitch and Adam grew up together in Monte and was a regular in the Maus basement. Their friendship continued at St. Cloud where Betsy met Mitch while working at DB's with Adam (where Mitch was again a regular).
What Mitch and Carter bring to the wedding party::
It is impossible not to have a good time with Mitch around. When you meet him, you'll feel like he's a long time friend. Carter is a splitting image of daddy; on the dance floor he may even show you his "Yum yum dance".
Nicole Kosbab and Abbey Karich (Bridesmaids)
Nicole and Abbey were two of Betsy's best friends in junior high and highschool. Although we all went our separate ways in college, our friendship only grew stonger. The three of us couldn't be more different from one another, but that's what makes our friendship so special.
What they bring to the wedding party :: Abbey has had some amazing life adventures and brings a light hearted personality to every event. Nicole will definitely keep us all on schedule while still managing to be the life of the party especially on the dance floor! You can also thank Nicole for the great music playlists during band break and cocktail hour!
Nate Gilkey (Groomsman)
Nate and Adam grew up together in Montevideo. Nate was a regular in the Maus basement. Adam credits Nate for a passing grade in English....Calc...
What Nate brings to the wedding party :: An incredible sense of humor and a laugh you will never forget! Play a Hank Jr. song and he'll be the first one on the dance floor.
Andy Zenk (Groomsman)
Andy was also a regular in the Maus basement. Andy and Adam have been friends since the first day of school. Andy has been a great friend to Adam even though they have lived thousands of miles apart since graduating high school.
What Andy brings to the wedding party :: A continuous smile and free legal advice (which we hope we won't need).
Katie Haslerud (Personal Attendant)
Katie and Betsy have been friends since high school. After college, they have found a new found love...sushi dinners! They could talk, eat, and drink bottles of wine all night together!
What Katie brings to the wedding party :: Everyone loves Katie. She has the perfect mood for every situation which makes her perfect for the part; calm, hyper and down to business.
Ashley Robb, Heidi Westrum and Anna Hemmer (Greeters)
Ashley, Heidi and "Hemmer" lived with Betsy in college. Together, this trio had many crazy college memories but managed to grow up into responsible adults! Ashley is a social worker, Heidi will be a dental hiegenist and restaurant manager while Anna is a Minneapolis Police Officer. They will greet you as you arrive, and you won't soon forget them and their amazingly outgoing personalities.
Seth Malinski (Usher)
Adam and Seth became friends and roommates in college. Seth also worked with Betsy and Adam at DB's. He has been an amazing friend to both Adam and Betsy in college and beyond.
What Seth brings to the wedding party :: Interesting conversations and a great sense of style! Seth is also always ready to jump in and lend a hand.
Billy Pauling (Usher)
Billy and Adam met in high school but became good friends at SCSU. Billy soon became Adam and Betsy's realtor (and did a fantastic job!)
What Billy brings to the wedding party :: With Billy around there is never a dull moment because he is so spontaneous, adventurous and at times unpredictable.
Brandon Bauer (Usher)
Brandon and Adam lived together for 2 memorable years at SCSU. "Block Bauer" was an enabler of one of Adam's favorite past times; watching movies.
What Brandon brings to the wedding party :: An amazing skill in graphic design which he used to create our Save The Dates, Invitations, and Programs.
