Meet our family and friends who are walking down the aisle with us... NOTE* Carter’s section is a work in progress. Public accountability via text is welcome. 815.861.2068

Kimberly Keefe

Mother of the Bride

Kate’s mom, lovingly known as “Mom-Bomb,” gave her all the tools that shaped the person she is today. Their love for each other is endless and unwavering. There’s nothing either of them wouldn’t do for the other, even to the ends of the earth.


Christina Coalson

Mother of the Groom

Carter’s mom, Tina has always cared deeply for her boys and her family. She made sure they had everything they needed, and often what they wanted, while teaching them the value of hard work along the way. There’s no doubt she would move the earth to help the people she loves.

Quinn Keefe

Father of the Bride

Kate’s dad and the family’s favorite storyteller, whether the stories are fully accurate or not. He brings laughter, lightness, and a good time wherever he goes. Always ready to help in his own way, Quinn’s presence adds joy and warmth to the people around him.


Dave Coalson

Father of the Groom

Carter’s dad, Dave has always been on the same wavelength as him. He’s his favorite riding buddy and his go-to guy through it all. After a recent health scare, Carter is especially grateful to have him by his side and still sharing life together.

Steven Bois

Father of the Bride

Kate’s stepdad extraordinaire, Steve has always challenged her to reach higher and believe in herself. He’s been a constant source of encouragement and support. No matter the goal, he’s always there to help work through it together.


Marshall Coalson

Best Man

Carter’s brother and built-in best friend, Marshall has been by his side through it all. They drive each other crazy in the way only siblings can, but always have each other’s backs when it matters most. It’s a bond rooted in loyalty, laughter, and a lifetime of shared moments.

Elizabeth Lewinski

Maid of Honor

Kate’s longest friend, Lizzy has been by her side through it all. She was the one who went out of her way to befriend the new girl in town, a kindness Kate has never forgotten. Truly the sweetest person, Lizzy’s heart has always been bigger than the moment.


Jonathan Perez

Groomsman

Friends since seventh grade, Perez and Carter were put on the same football team and never looked back. He’s the kind of friend who would bail Carter out with no questions asked. Always ready to crack a joke or have his back, Perez has been a constant through the years.

Aryanna Ruffin

Bridesmaid

Kate met Ary playing volleyball in college, where their friendship took root. Ary became her constant and go-to throughout those years. Always on the same page, Ary has been someone Kate could lean on no matter what.


Carl Anderson

Groomsman

Carl is the kind of friend who would do anything Carter asked, and is basically always at their house. Always dependable and always around, he’s been a constant presence in Carter’s life. Their long-standing darts feud remains unresolved, but friendship comes first.

Ashley Whittington

Bridesmaid

The best summer camp counselor anyone could ask for, Ashley has always shown up with honesty and heart. She tells the truth whether you’re ready for it or not, and she’s always there when it matters most. Everyone needs a friend like her.


Bryce Johnson

Groomsman

A college friend who’s seen Carter at his absolute worst, they both live by the rule that what happens in Platteville stays in Platteville. Through late nights and unforgettable memories, he’s been part of some of Carter’s most formative years. Thankfully, those stories are staying right where they belong.

Nicole Lund

Bridesmaid

Nicole was Kate’s saving grace during her freshman year of volleyball, keeping her grounded when things felt overwhelming. Kind, goal-oriented, and endlessly positive, she pushed Kate toward the light even in the hardest moments. She also still loves Kate despite a minor concussion incident, which really says it all.


Harrison Gorman

Groomsman

Much like Bryce, Harry knows some of the most incriminating things about Carter and can be trusted to keep them there. Known for his monotone delivery and steady presence, he’s the definition of dependable. A great guy and a trusted friend through it all.

Allison Spitson

Bridesmaid

Ally was claimed as family long ago, whether she agreed to it or not. She’s endlessly giving, always thinking of others, and somehow convinces everyone to show up for Pilates at the crack of dawn. Her presence brings balance, care, and a whole lot of love.


Dekota Sciabaras

Groomsman

Alongside Marshall, Dekota helped shape the person Carter is today. He stepped into Carter’s life during college, becoming a bonus big brother along the way. His guidance, loyalty, and steady presence have meant more than words can say. That, and he makes him look really tall in photos.

Kendra Coalson

Bridesmaid

Kendra is the kind of sister-in-law everyone hopes for. She’s caring, loyal, and effortlessly makes family feel like home. Kate is so grateful to have her by her side, and very appreciative of her talent for making exceptionally cute babies.


Zack Stopczynski

Groomsman

Zack and Carter went to school together but didn’t become friends until they all moved back home. Easily the most unhinged in the best possible way, he brings chaos, laughter, and unforgettable energy wherever he goes.

Amanda Hoehne

Bridesmaid

An instant bestie brought together by their boys, Amanda and Kate found each other at exactly the right time. Always on the same page, they fit together with an ease that feels rare and special. Safe to say, they’re not going anywhere.
