Behold the Bridesmaids





Alyssa Pusch (Oma)
Alyssa and I met on our study abroad trip to Germany. She recently graduated from UW-Stevens Point and lives in Appleton, Wisconsin where she is a dance instructor at Mirror Image Dance Academy. Maybe she'll teach all of us an Irish jig before the trip? Alyssa is full of energy and always ready for an adventure (as long as pigeons are not involved)! "Hey guys, let's go polar bearing in lake Michigan!"

Emily Baseheart
Emily is my sister in law. She lives in Milwaukee and works at Marquette University as the Assistant Director of Development Annual Giving (East Coast), is the proud parent of her pup Macy, and keeps Josh (husband/groomsman) busy. Emily has an amazing spirit and is a proud new Godmother! She has also mastered one of my favorite treats...Cake Pops!!! (I'll take a few dozen, please!)

Desiree Miller
Desiree and I met just before I started High School. She lives in Milwaukee and Washington DC (at the same time believe it or not!), plays the cello for the Civic Orchestra of Chicago, and whips up some mean homemade waffles (and chocolate chip-toffee cookies)! Still a mystery to me: how she fits all her long locks into that little ponytail... :)

Dana Tatge
Dana is Eric's sister in law. When she's not at home in Arlington Heights (IL) taking care of Ryan (husband/groomsman), little monster-pups Flynn & Ruckus and cat Jasmine, she's out designing faboulous interiors at Michele Pelafas Inc. (some of her most famous clients include Nick and Vanessa Tatge)! Ask her to speak in her monster voice (Roar)!

Vanessa Tatge
Vanessa (V) is Eric's sister-in-law. She lives in Lake Worth, FL, is the Owner/Supervisor at Nailize Nail Spa, and is pretty famous for a Christmas dance-performance video on YouTube.
Vanessa and Nick (husband/groomsman) are the proud parents of the world's cutest baby, Natalie (no joke, check the Guinness Book of World Records)! V is super easy going and will talk to you about anything. On second thought, leave out Space. It's just too much! :)
