Brittany Farrell
Maid of Honor & Friend of the Bride
Brittany and Jade met during Jade's freshman year at UW-Madison, while wandering around trying to find a place to continue running competitively after high school. They found the Wisconsin Track Club and have been partners in ridiculousness ever since. Jade and Brittany have been through their fair share of wild cross country and track meets together, among many other sporting events and adventures!
Joe Wanger
Best Man & Brother of the Groom
Joe is the second eldest of Tim's brothers, and has been a close friend to Tim over the past decade. Throughout the years, Joe has supported Tim and Jade (and their cat Mira) whenever they have visited Minnesota by making sure they have a place to stay, and food. Tim would have starved to death in the cold if not for Joe! The friendship Tim and Joe share stems from their mutual enjoyment of board games, television, and books!
Jasmine Schmitt
Sister of the Bride
Jasmine is Jade's favorite sister. Ever since Jasmine was born, she has had to put up with Jade's shenanigans. They've survived sharing a room for many years, as well as many family road trips together. Now living very far apart they still keep in touch, especially by trading cat pics.
Mark Wanger
Brother of the Groom
Mark is the eldest of Tim's brothers, and has been a person that Tim has looked up to his whole life. He has always been a spectacular role model, by raising a generous, kind, beautiful family or demonstrating how to e-brake his car 180o during slushy winter weather. Despite living 1000 miles apart, Tim and Mark have maintained a close friendship over the years, and enjoy spending time together whenever Tim is back in town.
Tanya Harnpattanapanich
Friend of the Bride
Jade first met Tanya through a mutual friend her freshman year at UW-Madison. They later bonded on a road trip to Pasadena for the 2011 Rose Bowl, including an adventure in Las Vegas and surviving being stranded in Flagstaff, Arizona! Since then, they've enjoyed many fun experiences on or near Lake Mendota as part of Hoofers Sailing Club.
Jeff Wanger
Brother of the Groom
Jeff is the youngest of Tim's older brothers, and has been a good friend of Tim throughout the years. Tim and Jeff adventured together in the Boy Scouts, and whether they rampaging at the local LazerPort or profiteering off the scout camp's shortage of Mountain Dew, they were always having fun. Jeff has always provided guidance, and was right when he told Tim that "when you find the person you love, you'll know!"
Sydnie Pauer
Friend of the Bride
No story of Sydnie and Jade's friendship would be complete without mention of the infamous flip flop wall. Sydnie and Jade met while working at Old Navy during Jade's break between undergrad and grad school. Since then, they have been nearly inseparable, hanging out at karaoke, attending shows, and adventuring when Sydnie has visited the south!
Cody Schmitt
Brother of the Bride
Cody is Jade's favorite brother. Cody has always gone out of his way to be helpful, bailing us out whenever Jade's car broke down in the winter, helping Jade move all the way across the country to Georgia, and even helped to prepare for the wedding! Cody's got a keen sense of humor, and is always fun to hang out with when we are back in Madison!
Diane Venaas
Sister of the Groom
Diane will always be Tim's little sister, no matter how much of a responsible adult she is nowadays. Tim and Diane always love spending time with each other, and Jade has enjoyed getting to know Diane during the holidays. Jade and Diane have, and will continue to, enjoy teasing her goofy brother. Diane is an inspiration to her family and friends, has an adorable daughter, and thanks to having four older brothers is the toughest girl you'll ever meet!
Mike Leung
Friend of the Groom
Mike and Tim met at a weekly pick-up game of ultimate frisbee in Madison, where they developed a strong friendship. Whenever Tim is back in Madison, they have enjoyed fierce competition at local disc golf courses, and relaxing with a hot cup of bubble tea afterward. Mike was one of the first to know of Tim's plan to propose to Jade, and supported Tim in his search for the engagement ring!
