The Andreas Side:
Jennifer's parents, Chuck and Carol, have a lot to be proud of this year. They're two for two.  Jennifer is completing her Master's Degree in Guidance Counseling in June, and Jennifer's sister Julie has just become a Doctor of Podiatric Medicine.  Chuck and Carol just moved to an awesome townhouse in Tinley Park this year, so they've been keeping busy getting settled and listening to Brandon and Jennifer rant and rave about wedding planning! Jennifer's sister Julie is the Maid of Honor for our wedding, so you'll be seeing her a lot on the 15th!  Jennifer's parents will both be crying a lot at the wedding, but don't let them fool you, they will be tears of joy to finally have Jennifer out of their house!

Jennifer's other attendants include:
Allison, a friend who is an elementary school teacher for Chicago Public Schools. Jenny Baxter, a childhood friend that is currently living in San Diego as a Navy nurse. Sue McAley, a childhood friend that currently lives in Arlington Heights and works at Hewett Associates. Sue Switzer, a former college roommate who works as a computer instructor at FutureKids. Erin Prendergast, Jennifer's cousin.

The Wilson Side:
Brandon's parents, Art and Gayle have five boys, Brandon, Adam, Ryan, Kevin and Jonathan.  They also have a springer spaniel puppy, Lucy, who has even the youngest members of the family ready to take up drinking.  The Wilson family lives in Mokena.  Art is a process engineer and Gayle works at a woman's shelter in Mokena.  Adam and Ryan are currently in college and Kevin is graduating from high school this year.  Yeah, poor Dad, three in college at once! Jonathan is the youngest, he is in seventh grade and is a future track star.  All the Wilson boys will be standing up in the wedding.

Brandon's Best Man is known world-wide as "Uncle Chuck" He's Brandon's mom's sister's husband and one of the coolest guys you'll ever meet.  He provides equal portions of supportive uncle and drinking buddy, and he's one heck of a guitar player.  Chuck and my aunt Gwen will be playing a song at the reception.

Also standing up on the Wilson side is Brandon's best friend from college, Scott Robowski.  Scott and Brandon roomed together at Illinois Wesleyan and Scott is now a tenured Physical Science teacher at West Aurora High School, not to mention Vice President of the Teacher's Union!  Scott is the life of the party so if you see a fella in a tux singing like Mama Cass, that would be Scottie.

Our flower girl is Chuck and Gwen's Daughter, Joni, and she is a very special addition to our family.  She was adopted as a new-born from Korea and is one of the smartest, spunkiest girls you've ever seen!
