Maddie Hooper
Maid of Honor
I met Maddie when I was a year old. I remember it like it was yesterday. Bottles, blankies, and naps..we lived the good life. Throughout our years growing up, Maddie became the sister I never had. We have shared countless sleepovers, movie nights, family gatherings, and much much more. She is someone that sends me random videos on social media just to make me laugh, even when most of the time no one else thinks they're funny. Through thick and thin, I know she'll always be there for me. I am thrilled to have you as my Maid of Honor and stand by my side!
Doug Kollman
Groomsman
I’ve known Doug almost 36 years. We met back in 1985, and have been close ever since. We make each other laugh so much it’s almost like we’re brothers. One time Doug and I stayed up until 4:00 am playing a World Series on N64's Ken Griffey Jr. Baseball. The series was tied 3-3 when in game 7, Doug's shortstop Mark Grudzielanek errored giving Willy's Indians the permanent lead over Doug's Montreal Expo's. The next morning we barely made it to Kingsville, Ontario for the 10 am boat to Pelee Island. I don't remember anything after that.
Katie George
Maid of Honor
Katie and I met while playing soccer together at Walsh Jesuit HS and also had the privilege of playing together at Akron. Throughout our college years, we not only became best friends but also roommates, sisters, and life long friends. Our friendship has given us unforgettable times. Some of my favorite memories include traveling around the country, countless FaceTime calls, endless nights out, and sharing the good and bad times together. Katie has also been a friend that has drawn me closer to my faith with God and has been a positive influence in my life. I am honored to have you as my Maid of Honor and to stand by my side!
Paul Wilms
Groomsman
Paul and Willy met in 7th grade and became great friends. On April 16th, 1999, Willy and Paul were “2 on 2” lunch time basketball champions. They quickly retired on top. In 1999 Paul was hired as dirt boy at “Kollman’s Greenhouse” where he quickly rose the greenhouse ladder (literally) to lay tar on the roof. From there, Paul was promoted to Flat Stacker, Transplanter eventually reaching CWO (Chief Watering Officer). Paul and Willy would reunite to relive their “2 on 2” championship days by playing NBA Jam where Paul would beat Willy constantly. However, Willy holds several BW3's Boneless Wing eating records over Paul. Paul is a great friend and one who will be there when you need him. Proud to have him by my side.
Maddie Kaser
Bridesmaid
Maddie and I met my freshmen year of college at The University of Akron while playing on the Akron Women's Soccer team. Being one of 11 incoming freshmen, Maddie not only became my teammate but also one of my best friends. She has been someone I can count on and someone to make me laugh no matter what. Some of my favorite memories together include family game nights, countless nights out, camping, road trips for soccer and staying up late to memorize lyrics of Drake songs. I am proud to have you by my side!
Bill Johnston
Groomsman
BIll loves losing. I honestly don't know what more I can write but was told to include more so I will. We met at The University of Akron while working in Athletics. We have kept close through all the years amidst all the moves, days of EB, life changes and Michigan's losses to Ohio State. Bill told me that he looks forward to having a son one day named Jeremiah which I told him was a great idea. Anyways, looking forward to celebrating with slightly less favorable William on December 4!
Cassidy Johnston
Bridesmaid
I met Cassidy while attending Walsh Jesuit High School. With our last names being so close, we not only became locker buddies but also best friends. We have shared endless memories and laughs throughout our 12 years of friendship. Whether we were driving around aimlessly trying to find something to do or just hanging out at one of our houses, there was never a dull moment. Some of the best memories we have together include our famous nights out, going to the boat at Bay Point, country concerts, Jersey Shore nights, and many more. I am grateful to have you stand by my side and celebrate together!
Jack Kollman
Groomsman
Jonathon "Jack" Burton Kollman is my nephew and is son to my brother Doug and his wife Maggie. I am absolutely thrilled to have Jack in my wedding as a groomsman. In addition to being Jacks Uncle, I am also his proud Godfather. Jack is 11 years old and is currently in 5th grade in Perrysburg, Ohio. Jack is a phenomenal soccer player and has a deep passion for sports. His favorite thing to do is lose to his Uncle Willy in Madden.
