Ryann & Ryan
Wedding Party
Kelly Bird
Maid of Honor
Oh, Kelly Bird... No human has shaped my life more than my big sister. She has been my best friend from day one and growing up with her was the best gift my parents ever gave me. She supports me, encourages me, laughs for no reason with me, and hugs me when I need it (even though she always pretends to hate it). Taking this next step is a whole lot less scary with her standing beside me.
Tyler Kleppe
Best Man
So grateful to have my younger brother by my side on this special day. Basketball games in the basement, Final Four road trips, late night chats in our apartment, and more. Tyler and I have shared some special times over the years. Excited to make more memories with him!
Claire Linic
Bridesmaid
It's hard to imagine a time when Claire wasn't a part of my life. She is the funniest, quirkiest, kindest, most loyal human you will ever meet. She fills everyone she meets with joy and has been doing that for me since we met freshman year at NWU. So grateful to have her standing up with me on my big day!
Matt Kleppe
Groomsman
M-Keezy! Also thankful to have my older brother right there with me on my wedding day! Goodwill expeditions, talking Michigan football, playing golf, and chatting about life. I have always looked up to him, and the example he has set as a husband and father.
Maggie Parrish
Bridesmaid
Maggie and I met while attending orientation for Nebraska Wesleyan in June of 2007. It was love at first purse compliment and we've never looked back! Through life's ups and downs, Maggie has always been an honest, caring, sassy constant in my life and I'm so blessed to call her a best friend.
Pete Schmitt
Groomsman
Pete has been one of my closest friends from our time growing up in Mount Horeb while also playing football and being roommates at UW-Whitewater. Ping pong and N64 James Bond in his basement, working grounds crew in high school, cruising East Wash in the Subaru, NCAA football battles in the dorms, singing Greatest Showman with your girls, and more. So appreciate having Pete along for this ride and cannot wait to celebrate our special day with him!
Kristin Kleppe
Bridesmaid
Kristin has been the only female Kleppe kid for over a decade. The first time we met she told me how long she had waited for another girl to join the family and welcomed me without hesitation. Her friendship and support have been more than I could ask for and I can't wait to have her be a part of our day!
Ryan Ogrizovich
Groomsman
The Brothers Ryan! Griz has been one of my close buddies from our time playing football at UW-Whitewater. We were both on the defensive line, ended up being roommates at UWW while I coached him, then coached together when I was head football coach in Mount Horeb, and I even taught one of his sons, Luka, in kindergarten. He and his wife, Mallory, have been great friends over the years and thankful to have him part of our day!
Will Kleppe
Ring Bearer
So happy to have our nephew Will be part of our special day! Proud of the little man he is growing up to be--kind, servant-hearted, and full of energy! Plus, I guarantee there is no one in the world 5 years and under that can name as many Cars characters as Will can! We love him so much and are excited to see him on the dance floor!
