MEET OUR CREW
Almost all of the people in our wedding crew have been important parts of our lives for DECADES! Some are like little brothers/sisters, others actually ARE our sisters... We're a close knit group and wouldn't be the people we are today without having had these folks influence our lives.
Todd Stellmach
Todd is my original Partner in Crime (PiC). We’ve robbed banks, killed men by the thousands and conquered the world, all in video and board games. I’ve known Todd since we were in 1st grade when the two of us were put in the same Boy scout troop together and we’ve been best friends since. Over the years we’ve had a lot of great times together and he’s been my main sounding board and I am lucky to have him as my best man.
Martin Ratchev
I first started to get to know Martin when my good friend, Tricia, asked me to help them learn some swing dancing for their wedding. After one night he asked if I wanted to grab a drink with him and we’ve been close ever since. Over the last decade (seriously they’ve been married that long) we’ve had a lot of crazy adventures that will go down in our memoirs. I miss the days when we used to go running and do Warrior Dashes and trail runs together, but the times of just grabbing a beer I will cherish forever.
Michael Gehl
When Erin and I met she would frequently talk about her cousin Mike and even went so far as to say if she ever had a son she wanted him to be just like Mike, otherwise it was all girls. I tried not to take offense. So naturally I had some pretty high expectations when I met him and he absolutely met every-one of them.Very competitive, highly intelligent and tons of ambition, I am honored to have him as a groomsman and happy to call him family.
Catie Ganschow
She's always been more of a big sisters than a cousin. She was my partner in crime growing up, my fellow barbie doll lover, and the one who had multiple matching outfits (and porciline dolls) with me. She's always been someone I've looked up to growing up and the person I like to credit my love of pop music to (cue Mmm Bop) She's become my honest advice giver, encourager and the other half of many inside jokes and now my Maid of Honor (1)
MaryEllen Kennedy
Oh Miss Mary! She is the little sister that I asked for each Christmas for almost 10 years. She's my little comedian who always has something witty to say and a laugh to offer. She's definitely my fashion police and my reminder to do what makes me happy in every aspect of life, no matter what the critics might say. She will always be my sister, but on November 7, she will (also) be my Maid of Honor (2)
Lisa Andry
Lisa! The 2 years older (and only) sister of Rob's. They've been through thick and thin together and have so many epic childhood stories. She's got a great sense of humor and a really kind heart. She's one I admire in going after what she wants and making things happen in life. I'm excited to gain her as a sister and continue to get to know her better in the coming years!
Jivko Ratchev
Jivko is one of the nicest guys I’ve ever met and I love his unique perspective on life. I got to know him through Martin as he's Martin's younger brother. He can make me burst out laughing with simplest comment and I can only hope that I get to hang out with him more as we get older.
Tricia Ratchev
Miss Tricia has been a friend of Robs since almost birth. She's the little sister he never had and as they've grown older, has also become one of his best friends. It's lucky for me he has good taste in people as she's become one of my best friends too. She is my fellow snowboarder, lover of catchy pop music, and someone I can always count on.
