Wedding Party
Kaitlyn Coleman
Bride
My name is Kaitlyn. I am an elementary school teacher, and I love being around kids. Some of my favorite things are going to the lake, Minky blankets, going to country concerts, and playing games. I met my fiancé through my younger brother Zackary. One of my favorite things about Blane is his personality. He is one of the funniest, most loving, kind, and caring people I know. I am so excited for the life we get build!
Blane Crue
Groom
I am Blane. I am SUPER cool. I was born a 6'1" 140lb adult. I am an apprentice lineman. I love pretending to be poor and galloping in open fields. My hobbies consist of snowmobiling and buying used vehicles on facebook marketplace. I love the way Kaitlyn loves all the people in her life and the joy that she brings to everyone's days. Yay wedding!!
Ava Collins
Maid of Honor
Ava and I met in Georgia at a Christian Conference in 2024. I overheard her talking about being from the Springs, so I started talking to her and recommended we get lunch sometime. Fast forward 6 months, when we both were living back in Colorado, we began hanging out frequently. We would go on our weekly dates to Chick-fil-A and catch up on all things from work, to boys, to everything else under the sun. She very quickly became my best friend and is now a part of my family in several ways. I am so honored to have her stand by my side on this special day!
Ryan Riedlinger
Best Man
This is Big Ry. Ryan is cool. Ryan and I met in high school. We had almost every class together and now I think my mom pays him to hangout with me. When I began talking to Kaitlyn, Ryan became frustrated with how long I was taking to ask her out. He offered to buy me a cheeseburger to speed up the process, and the rest is history. This is one of only two photos that Ryan and I have together, that's how awesome we are together. Yay Ryan!!
Emma Geringer
Bridesmaid
Emma has been one of my closest friends for as long as I can remember. Our parents are a part of the same group, so I met her shortly after I was born. Over the years, we have grown up together and gone through many different stages of life. From playing dress up, to house, to going to our first concert alone at Cheyenne Frontier Days in 2017, dreaming of who we would marry, and now, both being engaged and planning our weddings. I am truly honored to have such an amazing lifelong friend stand by my side on my wedding day!
Kellen Riedlinger
Groomsman
This is Kellen. Kellen is Ryan's annoying little brother. Ryan had begun doing online school and came to pick me up from high school for lunch one day. Kellen tagged along and then asked 2.1 billion questions about pickups and diesel motors, only leaving enough time for me to give half of an answer. Now I get enough time for a full answer before the next question gets asked. Kellen and I now have a symbiotic relationship, as I am his designated boat launcher, and he is my designated boat driver. Kellen is the first D1 college athlete in the Riedlinger bloodline and I think his tractor is sexy. Yay Kellen!
Bailey Coyle
Bridesmaid
I met Bailey halfway through my sophomore year of college through our student ministry. We quickly became very good friends and did almost everything together. From grocery shopping to playing Mario Kart to doing homework to going on random trips, and even to attending our first college party together at my brother's house after we had both graduated. We practically lived together because we spent so much time together. We have made lots of memories over the last 3.5 years. Even though we no longer live in the same state, we are still very close friends, and I am glad she gets to be a part of my big day!
Zackary Coleman
Groomsman
This is Zackary. Zackary is Kaitlyn's smaller brother. Zackary became attached to Kellen their freshman year of college. Kellen knew we would be a perfect pair because of our shared love for snowmobiles and large green machines. We have a tendency to get yelled at for riding our snowmobiles too far into the trees to be rescued. Zack's favorite thing about me is my brilliant family photo ideas. Zackary also became frustrated with how long I was taking to ask Kaitlyn out however, he never bought me any cheeseburgers. Zackary is the first D1 college athlete from the Coleman bloodline. Yay Zackary!
Lexie Riedlinger
Bridesmaid
Over the past year, Lexie has become like a sister to me. Seeing as she is practically Blane's younger sister, I have gotten to spend a lot of time with her. We have made several trips into town, baled hay together, gone paddleboarding, gone flower shopping, and she even helped us take our first round of engagement photos. She never fails to put a smile on my face and make me laugh. I am very excited to have her standing up next to me on our wedding day!
Cade Parnell
Groomsman
Cade was the bestest roomate. Cade and I often spent our evenings using our brilliant cooking minds trying to concoct an edible meal out of the random items we found in our kitchen. We also had many fun nights out in the great college town of College Station, TX. Cade enjoys playing in the dirt and will be getting married in April of 2027, and we couldn't be more proud. Yay Cade!!
Rob Geringer
Officiant
Rob is a life long family friend of Kaitlyn's. He has been a part of her life, and is a great example as Blane and Kaitlyn move into marriage. He is a great father, friend, husband, and Christ follower. He is also our favorite politician. The first thing Blane had to say after meeting Rob was, "I like Rob". Therefore, we knew he was a great choice to officiate our wedding. Yay Rob!
