Meet OUR People

  • Erin Strehlow

    MATRON OF HONOR

    Whether she’s running meetings or marathons, this girl is unstoppable! As Social Chair in business school, she set a high “bar” for shenanigans. We have a love for ‘jumping around’ and commercial jingles. She is MVP at planning a weekend getaway or an impromptu scavenger hunt. My forever Omakase date and podcast cohost.

  • Maziar Salimi

    BEST MAN

    My brother, Man City fan. - I was the Best Man in his wedding so I was obligated to do the same unfortunately. I like making him feel uncomfortable by asking him to express his emotions. Give him a hug when you see him and ask him the same.

  • Leah Vanevenhoven

    BRIDESMAID

    Small town beginnings to a world traveling, free spirited soul who is not afraid of steep climbs or fast descents. Follow her on Strava if you want to feel inadequate. When she’s not winning races she’s winning over new friends with her charm and great hugs. You can count on her if you’re in search of dancing, belly laughs, or good oysters.

  • Adam Yanagihara

    GROOMSMAN

    My brother (cont) he’s the reason why I finished the swim portion of my first Half Ironman. Used to wear FUBU in high school. We’re each other’s sous chef…oui chef?? YES CHEF! Love this lil boy.

  • Jaclyn Bender

    Jaclyn Bender

    BRIDESMAID

    If you look up “heart of gold” in the dictionary, you’ll see a picture of this gal. She’s kind beyond measure but don’t be fooled, she will out dance anyone who gets in her way! The girl next door who can also run football routes. All time best road tripping shot gun, impromptu bar crawl companion or karaoke partner, and expert sandwich maker.

  • Cesar Buys

    GROOMSMAN

    My (other) brother- creative, funny. Ask him to do a Japanese ghost impersonation when you meet him. (Spooky) Always makes time for me to be petty. Works with Oprah. No for real.

  • Brooke Musbach

    BRIDESMAID

    The personification of walking sunshine, she will brighten anyone’s day. One of the all time best laughs and Wisconsin accents. From camping in Wyoming to sledding (sledging) in Switzerland, we have traveled many miles together on planes/trains/automobiles. Her only flaws are the tendency to overpack and not know the words to popular songs.

  • Chris Nguyen

    GROOMSMAN

    My running brother and financial advisor. When he’s not “shredding the gnar” or getting barreled (surfing) we’re talking investments and our next move. Love this guy!

  • Cara Cordoso

    BRIDESMAID

    My first roommate who brought subwoofers to our shoe box sized dorm room. Our neighbors probably didn’t appreciate 50 cent booming through the wall, but our room was always full of music, school spirit and late night conversations dreaming about the future. The MVP of effortless messy buns, power hours, and puns.

  • Asim Sultan

    GROOMSMAN

    My Pakistani brother and my little Gobi Manchurian. THE premier “girl dad” and husband. Sells only the finest herbs, spices, and soaps in his spare time. Always willing to listen and give unsolicited advice. Love ya mang!

  • Jack Thompson

    WEDDING OFFICIANT

    Our “little” brother who is wise beyond his years. Ashley & Jack share a love of Euchre and balsamic vinegar. As siblings, they rarely argue, but are still debating who drank the last Brisk in the fridge in 2004. Matt and Ashley are always trying to lure him to move to California with our top notch kush.

  • Dua Lumpia

    CHONKY GURRLLLL

    Our Frenchie who runs the household. The sweetest pig who has been showing us unconditional love from the day we met. She loves to snuggle and spends most of the day napping and farting. Can’t count on her as a guard dog because she befriends all strangers, especially if they give a strong butt scratch.

  • Craig Thompson

    READER

    Ashley stole Craig’s thunder when she was born on the same day, same year. They’ve been twinning cousins ever since and spent two years as roommates in Madison, WI staying up late and avoiding washing dishes. Craig holds the Guinness record for number of pajama pants and most iconic pratfall in a holy temple.

  • Danielle Jimenez

    READER

    Danielle used to take care of Matt when he was a baby and still does till this day. She’s always going out of her way to be the glue that keeps us together. Has too many dogs.
