Wedding Party
Lauren Krieter
Maid of Honor
Lauren is my older sister (#3 of 4). She is a PA and works in surgery... so yeah, she's a rockstar. I am so grateful for her organization and support throughout my wedding planning process. Even more so, I am thankful for her guidance throughout my career and relationship with Aaron. Buy Lauren a drink: Shots (tequila, rum, vodka)
Casey Plante-Theis
Bridesmaid
Casey is my oldest sister (#1 of 4) and was my personal therapist for years prior to becoming a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. Casey is a great listener and gives even better advice. Her kindness and confidence have shaped my view on life and made me who I am today! Buy Casey a drink: Captain and Diet Coke
Alyssa LeBlanc
Bridesmaid
Alyssa (#2 of 4) is a living lesson that I can always be whatever I dream to be. After working in speech and language therapy for years, she recently graduated as a Registered Nurse and is starting a whole new career. Alyssa has helped me learn to trust my emotions and express them more freely. She also knows everyone, so if you need to figure out how you know someone, just find Alyssa! Buy Alyssa a drink: Vodka soda/lime & splash cranberry
Rachel Kleinschmidt
Bridesmaid
Rachel has been one of my closest friends since first grade. She is a PA as of August 2022, and I am so proud of her! She is super smart and a great storyteller. I love Rachel's sense of humor, no-nonsense attitude, and how I can always just be 100% me when I am with her. Buy Rachel a drink: Gin soda with lime or vodka soda with cranberry
Kenwyn Shriner
Bridesmaid
Kenwyn is one of my closest friends from both undergrad and vet school at University of Minnesota. We were roommates (#QuadSquad) and have traveled all across the world together. We both earned our Doctor of Veterinary Medicine and Master of Public Health degrees, but she's cooler because she works for the army now. Thank you for your service, Kenwyn! Buy Kenwyn a drink: Jack and Coke
Nikole Mader
Personal Attendant
Nikole is one of my closest friends from both undergrad and vet school at University of Minnesota. We bonded over some pretty gross things (that we thought were pretty cool) while working on the necropsy floor of the Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory. Nikole is hardworking, smart, and brings the party! Buy Nikole a drink: Jägermeister and Mountain Dew
Adam Ripplinger
Best Man
Adam is my "little" brother. We grew up together and then spent a year at NDSU together, so we are really close. Buy Adam a drink: Captain Coke
Thomas Ripplinger
Groomsman
Thomas is my big brother. Even though he dragged me by my hair around the kitchen in my onesie when I was 2 and he was 4, I still let him in my wedding party. 😉 Buy Thomas a drink: bourbon or scotch, neat.
Chris George
Groomsman
Chris has been my partner in crime since we were 14 years old. You could always find us getting into some kind of trouble, and somehow it's the same every time we get together even now. Buy Chris a drink: Busch Light
Tyler Evans
Groomsman
Tyler was a close friend in high school, but he and I really bonded when he practically lived with me and Chris in our dorm room freshman year at NDSU. Buy Tyler a drink: Captain Coke
Kyle Lange
Groomsman
Kyle and I became close as teammates on the USA football team. Between the two of us, we have a brace or hardware for just about every joint in the body... we had a lot of injuries. Buy Kyle a drink: Busch Light
Camden Zahn
Usher
Camden and I met in "chicken school", the Midwest Poultry Consortium's scholarship program. He is one of several lifelong friends I made during a short 6 weeks there. Buy Camden a drink: bourbon on the rocks
Brian Thielen
Usher
Brian and I met in college, and hit it off right away. He's been a great friend since. Ladies, he is single 😉 Buy Brian a drink: Coors Light
