Maid of Honor
Was once Cullen's best-friend - before Kirsten stole her. She was there the day the two began to re-kindle their friendship at We Fest and has been along for every milestone since! Em has quite a few embarrassing stories of the both of us and isn't afraid to share them. We both love Em for her down to do anything attitude and are so excited that she can share our day (that we thought would never come) right next to us! Fun Fact: Kirsten & Emily have matching Peach tattoos !
Best Man
Cullen & Kramer met back in Middle School - they were always getting into shenanigans then, and still are now. Weather it's driving around town in the loudest trucks or playing pranks on their other friends their is never a dull moment when these two get together. Kramer moved to Oklahoma right around the time that Kirsten & Cullen began dating, but that hasn't changed a thing - Kirsten always makes fun of them for talking on the phone more often, and longer than her and Cullen ever did! Fun Fact : Kramer drove all the way home, from Oklahoma to be at Winstock while Cullen proposed to Kirsten!
Bridesmaid
"Labbit" as Kirsten has called Danika for years and years, was one of Kirsten's first friends when she moved to St.Cloud. They quickly turned into each others go-to person not having family around. Gym dates followed by Chipotle & Wine nights with Cheez-Itz are just a few of our favorite things to do. Danika moved to Wisconsin with her husband Blake a few years ago, but that didn't change a thing. The four of us try to get together to do a fishing trip each winter & face time has been the distance a lot easier! we are SO excited to have them travel here to be part of our big day! Fun Fact : Danika's dog ran away the first night they met - Kirsten chased Mia throughout yards in the dead of winter and brought her home - they've been friends ever since!
Groomsman
Brandon & Cullen have grown up together - with their Dad's being on Monticello Fire Department long before they were born. They have caught plenty of fish and been on probably a hundred early morning duck hunts together over the last 20 years. Brandon has always been the person to save Cullens butt when he gets in a bind - whether its calling him for a ride at 2am or having to help patch up his wounds from wrestling Briar on the garage floor he is always just a phone call away. Brandon is married to Emily (Kirstens MOH) so he has put up with many of their shenanigans and has seen our relationship from the beginning. Fun Fact :
Bridesmaid
Tati & Kirsten met way back when - We have tried to figure this out plenty of times but we really aren't sure how it happened, Either way Kirsten has joined onto the Cole family for most of their family events, Summer Camping Trips, Warroad Hunting Trips, and random Scary Movie nights in their living room. Tati brings out Kirstens silly side and you can find them goofing off 99% of the time, and the other 1% we are shopping at Target together. I couldn't imagine doing A N Y life event without her. Fun Fact : Kirsten & Tati have been in eachothers life more years - than not! 14+ years of friendship!
Groomsman
B-Ri is one of Cullen's closest friends and they do just about everything together. After going to Highschool together, they worked together in Alexandria, and now work together in Albertville. Most of our winters on the lake Briar is with us, and he has 'dibs' on a bed in the fish house. You can always count on him to make you laugh and he is down to do just about anything. We can't imagine our day without him beside us! Fun Fact: Kirsten & Cullen have both shaved Briar's head on two different drunken occasions!
Bridesmaid
Joey is Kirstens [Big] Sister while they are 8 years apart, and weren't very close growing up - they are closer than ever now! One thing they both love is organization & planning. Joey has been SO helpful with Kirsten's entire planning process knowing all the little tips, forgotten small pieces, and getting things done ON TIME she has been a life saver! Fun Fact : Kirsten was also a Bridesmaid in Joeys wedding!
Groomsman
('Calvy' as Kirsten's mom calls him) Calvin is one of Cullen's friends who is always there, Weather its going on a fun ride somewhere or calling because we need help at the house he is just a phone call away! Cullen has spent many trips with Calvin up to Red Lake ice fishing - Hauling the wheelers out to Kev's land - or spending all their Money on pull tabs up at the bar. We are so excited to have Calvy celebrating with us! Fun Fact : Calvin & Cullen are NOTORIOUS for 'icing' each other - watch closely when they are drinking together.
Bridesmaid
Sades has actually been in Cullens life much longer than Kirsten, growing up together with their dads on Monti Fire together and Camping trips. But Kirsten met Sadie about 10 years ago B E F O R E her and Cullen got together - small world huh? Sadie has quickly become Kirsten's "Partner in Crime" because they are somehow always ending up on an adventure at WeFest or Boppin' around from house to house out on the lake. We know that we can count on Sades for anything - we are SO happy that she is sharing our day with us. Fun Fact : Kirsten & Sadie are eachothers "Lucky Charms" whether its playing pull tabs or bingo they almost ALWAYS win when they are together!
Groomsman
Spencer is Cullens [not so] little brother. I always hear their memories of growing up riding the snowmobiles, riding bikes around the yard or flinging eachother off the tube out on the lake. Even though we don't get to see Spencer super often, when we do have 'Sunday Funday' with the neighborhood crew or family events we always end up having a blast! We are so excited that we get to have him share our special day with us! Fun Fact : Spencer has some of the best dance moves in the family - they are even framed in Bonnie's Kitchen - we are hoping that he breaks some of them out on our wedding night !
Bridesmaid
Michelle & Kirsten met while attending kickboxing classes together and quickly became super close friends. Although they met at the gym - they spend most of their time being lazy and eating all their favorite snacks and laughing till our bellies hurt, or going on the hunt for trinkets. Michelle's house is where Kirsten goes when she's sick or bored, or for just about anything! I am so happy that Farrell's brought me & Shell together and that she gets to help me celebrate this day! Fun Fact : Kirsten & Michelle's daughter Gia share the same Birthday!
Groomsman
Tate went to Highschool with Kirsten - but somehow became one of Cullens best friends. Tate and Cullen are usually working on or getting into trouble with something that involves a motor. Weather its tearing apart mini bikes (that they decided they needed so they drove 3 hours to get and bought 7) or jumping the golf cart through some snowbanks spending time with the two of them is never a dull moment! Fun Fact : Tate has spent almost every new years with us for the last 6 years!
Chaos Coordinator
Kirsten and Heather met through the boys and have quickly hit it off! Heather's dad was also on the fire department with Cullens dad - along with her husband and his dad - who are also Briar's (groomsman) family. Clearly we were destined to be friends right? Heather has been SO helpful with anything that I've needed and has always been a cheerleader in my corner! I am so thankful for her and cannot wait to share the day.
Chaos Coordinator
Kirsten met Jen during one of the neighborhood get together at her in laws house - quickly these two got close and after about two years Jen & Kirsten started 'planning' Kirstens wedding, from the colors to dresses, locations and decorations we had this thing planned down to a T. All that was missing was the ring! Jen has been saying that she was Kirstens personal attendant for years, so when the time came that she F I N A L L Y got her ring - she texted Jen right away! I am SO excited for all of our planning to come to life and celebrate this big day!
