Bride
The bride is a flower loving, Aquarius, thrift haul queen, who loves pizza, game nights, and binging tv. She is often seen with future hubby Doug and their sweet 2 year old puppy, Honey. She enjoys spending time outdoors with Doug whether it be camping, kayaking, or biking around town. She was born and raised in Oshkosh, WI and spent her college years in Stevens Point, WI at UWSP where she received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Arts Management and Communications. She has worked at House of Flowers, a local flower shop in Oshkosh, for the past 6 years and has enjoyed working on events, honing her floral skills, and working with her close knit work family. This bride loves all things quirky and fun and can’t wait to share all the unique touches she has put into her and Doug’s wedding!
Groom
The one, the only, Chef Doug. If he isn’t golfing, biking, kayaking, or spending the majority of his time outside, you will find him with future wifey Allie, and dog-ter, Honey Post. Doug has a million hobbies and he is average at each and every one of them. One of them includes making hard cider with his near life long friend Spencer. Spencer does most of the cider making but Doug helps drink it. Doug is always laughing and having a good time. Doug was born and raised in Fond du Lac, WI but has spent the majority of his adult life in Oshkosh, WI which he now calls his home town, much to Allie’s annoyance. Earning his Associates degrees in Culinary Arts and Hospitality Management, he has spent the majority of his career proudly serving the city of Oshkosh. He currently runs the kitchen at the Oshkosh Food Co-op, where he is a proud member owner. Doug is always down for a good time and can’t wait to share this special day with everyone!
Man of Honor
Best friends since they were 3 years old, Laith and Allie have always been inseparable. These Kirkwood Kids immediately hit it off when Laith and his family moved in across the street and have been best friends for an amazing 29 years! These two are always together and always laughing, mostly at themselves and their one million inside jokes. Laith has the biggest heart and has always been one of Allie’s biggest supporters and most loyal friend.
Maid of Honor
As older sister of the Bride, and wife to long time partner Alex, there was no better choice for Maid of Honor. This woman exemplifies passion, hard work, and dedication and has always been a huge support to the bride, personally, and in her relationship with Doug. Lindsey works hard and plays harder - she lives life to the fullest and is always looking for a new adventure!
Bridesmaid
Absolute best friend to the bride, amazing wife to her hubby Matt, and beautiful mother of 3, Molly is the definition of smart, sweet, loving and caring. Life long friends since kindergarten, Molly has been a shoulder to cry on, a hand to hold, and a friend to lean on in good times and in bad. These two have done it all, seen it all, and are always laughing and having fun along the way!
Bridesmaid
Youngest sister to the bride, sweetest human on the planet, and biggest animal and plant lover around! Currently living in Arizona with her long time boyfriend Casey, this little Cutie is making her way home for the big day. She’s a beautiful soul with an infectious laugh and is always down for a fun time even if her older sisters embarrass her along the way!
Bridesmaid
After originally bonding as Alto’s in high school choir, these two always stayed friends over the years but became extremely close when Erin made her move back home from Boston to Wisconsin. She’s a sports fanatic, history buff, and proud dog mom to sweet pup Brody! She is as loyal as they come and has the most beautiful and genuine spirit. Erin is the true definition of friendship, through and through.
Best Man
If you know Doug, there is a serious chance you know Bob. Bob and Doug have been through thick and thin. As we get older, it just keeps getting thicker, and he will always answer the call of friendship. And that’s why he is the best man.
Groomsman
Spencer and Doug have always been scheming on a thing (that’s sabotage). From where to get $3 bucks for his Toyota Corolla all the way to where to get 3 grand for bottles, and they usually get it done. Spencer will be happy to talk to you about all things cider, something’s fantasy football, and a few things fishing. Just don’t ask him about golf. He doesn’t know anything about golf.
Groomsman
Oh man, I hope Nick wears his Casio Calculator watch. He could tell you all about the 69 people who were 2,2,2 cool down on 51st street who all had to take 8 pills. One time, in 5th grade, Doug called Nick a nerd. Nick showed him by growing up to be the coolest dude maybe ever. He’s coming all the way from San Diego! Hopefully it’s not too cold for him and his fiancé Michaele.
Groomsman
What if every time your best buddies got married, you could join them for a great night, nothing would go wrong, and the marriage would blossom into a lifetime of happiness, but you had to get those permanent eyebrow tattoos. Would you do it? Well this hypothetical and more could be yours when you meet Nathaniel. There is never a dull moment with this guy around. He might dare you to do something or bet you something nonsensical. You don’t have to do it.

Kenny is Bill Brasky remembered by Sam Elliot. Do you need your bathroom plumbed, rewired, soundproofed, and moved? Kenny Johnson will get it done after he helps replace your trucks water pump and makes you some dinner. Good for your wedding, good for your soul. Kenny Johnson.
Usher
What do you want to do? Kick a ball around? Listen to some records? Play some Super Nintendo? Ryan “Rosie” Rosenthal aka Basketball Jones is ready to chill, share good times, and never ask for anything in return. Just don’t feed him any liquor. It’s like gremlins, but less high jinx and more sleep.
Usher
Cory Marcin helped nurture Doug’s passion for wine and food in the formidable years of their mid to late twenties. Who knew brandy cokes could be so simultaneously gross and delicious. Cory. Cory knew. He knows his way around a camp fire and can sing like Bradley Nowell. Drink every time Cory laughs and shakes his head in disbelief. Cory, who is watching the kids?
Officiant
Lauren has always been rooting for Doug. Who better than your biggest cheerleader to marry you to the love of your life? I don’t know. Post Malone isn’t available, but Lauren is! So let’s give her a big thanks and all the encouragement she needs to not be nervous, talking in front of over a hundred people at a place she has never been. Remember, No matter what, Carly will be there to back you up!
