Phil VoliniBest Man & Best FriendAfter meeting in 8th grade art class, Phil and I have been friends ever since. From our multiple failed business attempts, to our dead-end jobs and our fun nights roaming the streets in the old '92 RS, Phil and I have experienced life's ups and downs together. -
Todd LevyBrother In LawTodd became my brother- in-law 8 years ago, and has since become a very reliable source in finding the next great pizza or burger joint. He is an awesome dad to my 2 nephews, and he is a die-hard Bears fan...Packer fans beware. -
Dr. Andrew KruegerFuture Brother In LawMy future brother-in law can be typically found mixing chemicals, mixing Grey Goose cocktails, or mixing it-up on the dance floor to Ke$ha's latest hit. Andrew is the epitome of a modern-day renaissance man. -
Nino BondiCousinWhen he's not preparing financial statements, Nino can be found in his kitchen cooking up gourmet meals using his home-grown veggies, or in his garden killing rabbits. Nino always has a funny story to tell. -
Jim BraniffGood FriendJim has been my friend since high school and was part of our roommate crew of high school buddies at lllinois State. He has always been there and I am very thankful to have a friend I can count on should my house go up in flames! -
Anthony BondiCousinGrowing up, Anthony was my partner-in-crime at family gatherings. Today, he's still looking for trouble. If you haven't been paying your taxes, I recommend you stay away from this guy. -
James HultgrenGood FriendJames and I have been friends since high school and, yes, he too, was part of our high school buddy roommate crew at ISU. His contagious smile and large personality are always a warm welcome to any party. -
Anthony BondiCousinAs a fellow teacher, Athony is one of the nicest guys I know and is overall just plain awesome. If you see him, congratulate him and his fiancée Rita on their upcoming July 6 nuptials! -
Dave StarkeGood FriendDave and I have been friends since high school. He also went to ISU, and if it weren't for my landlord finding out about the second floor we built in my room, we would have been roommates in college, too. -
Shashank HarshavatGood FriendShashank is also a friend from high school. However, get this: he didn't go to ISU. Surprise! He spread his wings and spent some time on the west coast, but of course missed his Illinois buddies so much he came back. Thanks, buddy! We missed you too!

Jaime LubnerMatron of Honor & Best FriendJaime has been the closest thing to a sister for me, except we've never fought like sisters. We grew up next door to each other and spent our childhood as an inseparable duo, determined we could fly on one occasion. Looking back, I suppose we did...in our own way. :) -
Kristen GraceGood FriendKristen and I have been friends since 7th grade, where we started the journey through the awkward times of adolescence and teenage drama together. She is my Chicken Soup to the Soul, and I'm so thankful to have her (and her daughter, Zoe- our flower girl!) in my life. Namaste. -
Dana DuntonCousinDana and I have spent many a sleep over together with cabbage patch kids and big brother bashing. It's been amazing to go through life's stages with her. Now as adults, our sleep overs are very much the same except those cabbage patch kids are now real! -
Amanda GossGood FriendAmanda and I have been friends since high school, where she taught both Kristen and I some lessons in spontaneity and going with the flow. She is such a strong, beautiful woman and I look forward to continuing what we started so long ago! -
Jen PopeGood FriendWhen I first met Jen several years ago, we shared a mutual love for wine, yoga and country music. That pretty much sealed the deal. She has a big heart, and knows how to appreciate pork, stuffed with pork, wrapped in pork, and drizzled with pork reduction. -
Enza LevyFuture Sister In LawTo my relief, passing the sister test with Enza was a breeze! I found she was such an easy-going, fun-loving person and we would get along just fine. And it's great knowing I'll always have a willing participant when it comes to indulging in gourmet "touristy" cupcakes in New York. -
Marissa VoliniFriendMarissa made it easy to break in to the long-standing group of high school friends that is Peter and half our wedding party. I was excited to find I had much in common with her, and I look forward to being a part of her life for years to come! -
Jill HultgrenFriendWhen I met Jill she invited me in to the "outsiders" club, since we are one of the few who didn't go to high school with Peter and his friends. We bond in not knowing what the heck all those guys are talking about when they ramble about the good times of yesteryears. Thanks for making me feel welcome, Jill! -
Shannon BraniffFriendShannon is one of the best party planners I know. That would make sense, since she pretty much does it for a living. I met her through Peter and his friends, and look forward to getting to know her in the coming years at all of the inevitably awesome themed parties to come. -
Ashley LeonardFriendAshley can be considered part of the "outsider" club with Jill and I, since she did not go to high school with Peter and his friends either. It's been an absolute pleasure getting to know her over the last year. She may not realize this, but she is the person that, for better or worse, made me aware of Honey Boo Boo. Thanks, Ashley! ;)

How
Need a hotel for the night?

How's about that weather? What's a girl to wear?!
Grafton and Milwaukee June weather is typically mild (60s - 70s), and a bit cooler once the sun goes down. The lake breeze can tend to be chilly, so be sure to bring a sweater or light jacket just in case.
We are registered at Bed, Bath & Beyond and Crate & Barrel.
We thank you so much in advance for being part of our day and a part of
our lives. We will be sure to put any spatula or food processor to good use.
And maybe, just maybe, we won't eat out so much. :)
