Pictures and Bios

Amy is Kirsten's favorite sister. She is currently a freshman at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Amy is majoring in Business and works as a waitress in the summer. She also sells subscriptions to her dorm room webcam to make money for school.	Jessica is a friend of Kirsten's from Iowa State. She works as an editor for a real estate publication company and lives with her hubby Daren near San Francisco, CA, where they frequently show off their keen swing dancing skills.
Sarah is a friend of Kirsten's from Iowa State. She recently obtained her master's degree in Arts Administration from Boston University and is currently singing and playing saxophone with Black Cat, an 80's cover band, in Minneapolis, MN.	Stephanie is a friend of Kirsten's from Accenture. She is currently working in Australia, after a few months of working and living in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Stephanie speaks Spanish and Portuguese fluently, teaches Sunday School at her church, cheers on the Vikings, and is a great salsa dancer!
Meghan is a friend of Kirsten's from Accenture. She recently moved to Houston, TX. Although she is currently working for the art institute there, we all know she's just biding her time until Las Vegas showgirl auditions.	Jason is a friend of Scott's from UM Morris. He lives in Las Vegas, NV, most recently working as the HR manager for Vacation Village Hotel & Casino (it recently went bankrupt). He is now a reclusive lurker, waiting patiently to find his next company embezzlement victim. He enjoys music, reading, and fasting, but his true passion is saving small children from gambling-debt ridden fathers.
Todd Frigstad is a friend of Scott's from Cottage Grove and high-school basketball teammate. Todd lives in Eagan, MN, works as the warehouse manager for Audio King, and eagerly awaits his own wedding to his fiancé Karen, which will take place at the Taste of Minnesota in July. Scott is in the wedding, and since television coverage is planned, will make his big move to becoming a star by wearing nothing but a cummerbund.	Jonathan is a friend of Scott's from Accenture. Jonathan lives in Minneapolis, and is the most physically fit of the wedding party (by far). Scott was formerly his team lead on a project at work, and enjoyed threatening to fire him on a daily basis. "Sleep well Jonathan, I'll most likely fire you in the morning" was a commonly uttered phrase by Scott. But now they are close friends, and enjoy hunting for small woodland creatures together on weekends. Or, more likely, going to movies.
Patrick is a friend of Scott's from Cottage Grove and high-school basketball teammate. Pat lives in Grand Forks, ND, with his wife Lisa and their 2 kids. Pat is the tallest of the wedding party, and is absolutely thrilled to answer those "How's the weather up there?" and "Do you play basketball?" questions. No really, he loves it.	Ben is a friend of Kirsten's from Iowa State. He is currently working on his master's degree in Communications at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Ben is the founding president of the ACLU at Iowa State and also writes for Stickybuffalo.com.
Robert is a friend of Scott's from a former Accenture client. Robert lives in Tampa, FL with his wife Christine and their 3 kids. Scott and Robert worked together on a project wherein Robert lived for 10 months in Minneapolis, before returning to his native South Carolina to continue the clan feud with the Jesse Helm's family. Scott and Robert talk quite often, taking advantage of their respective companies 1-800 numbers.	Chris is a friend of Scott's from UM Morris. Actually, they never new each other while at Morris, but later became friends via Jason (when Jae abandoned them both for the bright lights of Vegas). Chris lives in St.Paul and works for U.S.Bank-Piper Jaffrey. He is in fact an "outdoorsy" type, but not quite a tree-hugging granola freak.
Brian is a friend of Kirsten's from high school--her longest standing best friend! He lives in Rochester, MN, and works for Celestica, an offshoot of IBM, as an industrial engineer.	Todd Wahlstrom is Scott's cousin. Todd lives in Coon Rapids with his wife Laura, and is the most knowledgeable sports fanatic of our wedding party (Stephanie's love of the Vikings makes her a close 2nd). Todd grew up in Iowa, so naturally he and Scott have more paraphernalia from the other's states than they care to admit (much of it burned in sacrifice before a rival Hawkeye-Gopher game).

Andrew is a friend of Scott's from Cottage Grove. He passed away in December after a 7-month struggle to recover from a coma following an automobile accident in Denver. Scott happened to be working in Denver last summer and was able to spend time at his side. Andy and Scott met in 7th-grade art class and quickly became friends. Andy was very imaginative and artistic and Scott often lived vicariously through his endeavors. He was a wonderful friend and will be greatly missed.
