Very Important People

Chad Lind

Usher

Chad grew up with me in Mequon but we didn't become close until after high school. By chance, Chad and I independently decided to attend Butler University, and then independently decided to join the same fraternity. Over the years, Chad has been a great friend who could always relate to me more through his common background. Chad lives in Indy but makes a living by going on vacation.

Russell Hughes

Usher

Russell and I were roommates for 2 years after college. Living across from the Bourbon Street Distillery provided us with ample opportunity to cause a ruckus, but also to bond over Jim Beam Black and diet Coke. Russell is a multi-faceted businessman and marketer who works for a miniature replica car company in Broad Ripple and surfs the internet for rediculous news articles during business hours.

Andy Pekoll

Usher

Andy is my cousin, born the same day as me one year earlier. Perhaps it is this common trait that explains why we are both so amused by ridiculous things such as blowing balloons up with your nose. Andy is a music aficionado, and frequents the local record store where he lives in Madison, Wisconsin. His musical taste is expansive, but refined, and I'm always interested to hear about his latest find.

Ella Johnson

Flower Girl

Ella is Ange and Greg Johnson's little girl. Despite the fact that she is only a toddler, she a veteran flower girl. This will be her third performance! She is a strong willed and happy little girl and we are honored for Ella to be a part of our day.

Peyton Esker

Ringbearer

Peyton was welcomed into the Esker family on September 12, 2008. He is the son of Erik and his fiancé of 4 years, Brittany. This is one adorably big baby! Imagine what he’ll look like in a tux!
