Carlin here, sister of the bride to be and Maid of Honor. I am currently living in Ames, lowa attending lowa State School of Veterinary Medicine. I am honored to stand beside my best friend on her special day. Lauren has always been a very important role model in my life and has been someone who has given me countless of cherished memories.

They have proven that a fairytale love does exist and I am thrilled to celebrate their future together!
Lindsay Bons
Bridesmaid
I’m Lindsay and I live in Minneapolis, MN with my fiancé Edward. I’ve been close friends with Lauren since taking our first trip with her, Collin and Ed 5 years ago. In my free time I love trying new recipes, going out with friends and exploring new places. Lauren and I have had numerous adventures together including saving the day when the boys get us lost, joking about the times when things don’t go right and trying new things we would have never done before. However, the time I cherish most with her is when we’re relaxing outside and sharing a drink. I can’t wait to celebrate this moment with all of you on their special day!
Rachel Stute
Bridesmaid
Hi, I’m Rachel! I live in Duluth, Minnesota but I am originally from East Troy, Wisconsin. I met Lauren in 4th grade when a mutual friend introduced me to her, and we’ve been friends ever since. I work in natural resource management and when I’m not working, I enjoy spending time outdoors, reading, and working on various art projects. One of my favorite memories of Lauren and I’s friendship is our trips to Devil’s Lake State Park in the summer in high school and college. Ever since we got our licenses we would take day trips up there, hike around the entire lake, watch Lauren be brave enough to crawl through Devil’s Doorway, go swimming and then drive back home. Sometimes they were a little more chaotic like when my tire blew up on I-90 and neither of us knew how to change a tire, but Lauren captured the moment with her phone so we’d remember it forever!
Abby Veroeven
Bridesmaid
Hello! I’m Abby, and I’m originally from Duluth, MN. I’m currently living in Wauwatosa, WI and attending Marquette Dental School with Lauren. I met Lauren in 2022 when we started dental school together and became classmates! We quickly became friends, and even lived in the same apartment building for a bit. I enjoy spending my time outdoors swimming, hiking, fishing, and camping. My favorite memory with Lauren was our trip to Florida together during our winter break! Lauren had to drive to Chicago at 4am so we could get to the airport for our 8am flight. Two minutes away from the airport, Lauren couldn’t find her driver’s license and started to panic (it was in her purse the whole time). This memory stood out to me because it was funny to watch Lauren panic at 6am while listening to Hannah Montana in the car. We had lots of fun soaking up the sun, swimming, and reading by the pool once we made it to FL. Although Lauren and I disagree about certain NFL teams (including our Vikings/Packers rivalry), she has been the greatest friend to me, and I’m so honored to stand by her and Collin on their big day! <3
Kaleigh Zoll
Bridesmaid
I’m Kaleigh and I live in Green Bay, WI with my fiancé Shane and our golden retriever Lambeau. Lauren and I met our freshman year in Philosophy and Math and she told me to come sit with her. Lauren then asked me our sophomore year to room with her and her friends and the rest was history. We continued living with each other from ditching campus to living in a house with our two friends Maddie and Amanda. One of my best memories with Lauren is being stuck in the airport on our way to Ft Myers beach for spring break until 1am but we still made it!
Erica Witt
Bridesmaid
I’m Erica, Collin’s older sister. I live in Fond du Lac with my husband Noah and two young kids. I’ve had the pleasure of watching Collin go from a baby to a young, shy boy to a confident, intelligent and hardworking man and now soon to be husband. We have too many memories together to pick just one, but some of the best times we have together are at the Lakehouse enjoying each other’s company and playing games.
Ethan Kuehn
Best Man
Hello I’m Ethan and I am Collin's favorite sibling, (don’t tell Erica). I live in Green Bay and some things I enjoy doing are working out, gaming, and golfing. Some of my favorite memories with Collin include him chasing around Erica and I (with a plastic knife ;) ), and playing tackle football in the backyard. I have also enjoyed our time at our family's cabin and various vacations together. I am honored to be standing next to Collin’s side and seeing his and Lauren’s future together.
Edward Kindlarski
Groomsman
I’m Edward, and I‘ve been friends with Collin since Freshman year of High School. I currently live in Minneapolis, MN where I spend my time hitting golf balls out of the rough, losing to recent retirees in Pickleball, and planning my next trip to escape Minnesota winters. Collin and I have been friends through everything including high school football practices in the scorching heat, weekend “study sessions” during college, being roommates after graduation and world wide travels. My favorite memory of Collin legally can’t be put in writing. However, I’m more than happy to share all stories at the bar while we celebrate Collin & Lauren’s wedding!!
Tyler Peck
Groomsman
I'm Tyler. I'm originally from Michigan and have remained a loyal Detroit Lions fan-because I enjoy emotional character-building. When I'm not watching sports (or recovering from them), you can usually find me staying active, getting outdoors, trying new foods, or hanging out with friends. I met Collin at Acuity, where we quickly graduated from coworkers to office-gym bros. Some of my favorite memories with Lauren and Collin are all the parties and fun get-togethers-especially attending the Lions vs. Packers game at Lambeau!
Nolan Moore
Groomsman
I'm Nolan and I am married expecting my first child in July, and have worked at SECURA Insurance for five years (Acuity’s archnemesis). Collin and I first met in September of 2017 at the UW-Green Bay. I met him like I’ve met most of my friends over the years, with food in my hands. Collin stumbled across a poor sap like me eating with my roommate and struck up a conversation. From then on, we enjoyed many meals together, working out at the Kress Center, taking classes together, and participating in intramurals. Collin is a very nice guy, but I did carry him in intramurals. Eventually, Collin and I started living together with some other friends and did all the way up until graduation. We now, oddly enough, are in the exact same line of work for direct competitors. I have so many great memories with Collin, but one of my favorites, and the one that potentially meant the most to me, was when he took me to my first Packers game in the fall of 2017. I’m not sure if he ran out of people to invite and I was at the bottom of the barrel, but he asked me anyway. I was extremely excited to see Aaron Rodgers play in person with all the boys. Unfortunately, Anthony Barr broke Rodgers’ collarbone the week before the Saints game, so we sat out in the rain for all four quarters watching Drew Brees destroy Brett Hundley. Nevertheless, I had a great time and that’ll be a memory I’ll never forget. Congrats, Collin and Lauren! Tiana and I are very excited for the both of you!
Riley Rhyner
Groomsman
I'm Riley and I'm from Marathon WI, but moved to Milwaukee a couple of years ago. I love anything dealing with sports and began hosting small golf tournaments. I have known Collin for most of my life. Being born the same day and the same hospital as someone, you tend to get to know them. Collin and I went to the same school district and played on the same football and golf teams. With knowing Collin so long, I have plenty of favorite moments but the one that sticks out was my first ever Packers game on September 9th, 2018. This game happened to be the best game I have ever been to, the Packers - Bears, a rivalry like no other. We were super excited so we rushed into the stadium, got to our seats, and prepared for the game. The only issue… Aaron Rodgers was injured in the first half of the game and was carted off. We were all distraught and the Packers were losing 20-0. Our season is over before it even began, I started feeling like a Jets fan. We grabbed some food during halftime and hurried back to our seats. Then, all of a sudden, the crowd went wild. We looked to see what the commotion was and saw one bad man (Aaron Rodgers) walking out of the tunnel. Perked up Rodger’s willed a 20 point comeback and made some of the best throws I have ever seen a QB make. This truly was one of my favorite moments of my life so far and I owe it all to Collin. I will forever be thankful for him taking me to that game and for him being one of my closest friends. Congrats Collin and Lauren!
Noah Witt
Groomsman
I’m Noah, Collin’s brother-in-law. I am married to his sister Erica and have two kids. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends and in my spare time I like to golf. One of my favorite memories with Collin is when we golfed the course near my house.
