Lindsay & Ryan
I Do Crew!

Lindsay and I have been together all our lives as I am her older sister. I remember our younger days of building forts, running "snoop dizzle" plays in vball, only having a diet dew once the Price is Right started, and having fun at the campground and lake! Today, despite living a few hours from each other we are still closer than ever! We don't miss a beat in each other's lives and still get together for lake weekends, concerts, and craft events! When I met Ryan 3 years ago I had a feeling this was going to work. I remember early on Lindsay saying, "when you know you know" and she was right! Ryan has jumped right into our family and has become a great friend and soon to be brother-in-law. Their relationship grows everyday and I'm excited to stand by their side on their special day!

"I first met Ryan in the UW-LaCrosse cafeteria hall after the first football practice of the year. After inviting Ryan over to my apartment to watch Seinfeld, the rest is history. Ryan and I spent a lot of time together working out, napping, and going to the beach in LaCrosse. No matter how dirty the Mississippi River is, the beach was still enjoyable. I first met Lindsay after Ryan invited me to rock out at the Wet Possum concerts on multiple occasions. Lindsay and I share a common love for poodles, however, I prefer 7 lbs poodles vs. Lindsay's preference of 70lb poodles!

"Hello! I've known Lindsay my whole life since I am her baby sister. We've always enjoyed volleyball, One Tree Hill, and cold diet dewskis. Lindsay and Ryan are perfect for each other and I wish them nothing but love and happiness as they begin this new phase of life together!"

Like the rest of the groomsmen, I met Ryan through UW-L football. First teammates, then roommates, Ryan has become one of my very best friends over the past 10+ years! When Lindsay entered the picture their happiness together was palpable. I'm honored to be their friend and a part of their special day. Congratulations to you both!

Linds and I have been friends since our prime elementary school days (see picture above for definition of prime). Fast forward to fresh college graduates and Linds and I were reunited again as roomies in Green Bay! I will forever be thankful for the memories we shared and continue to share; such as late night shenanigans downtown, becoming Jon Langston groupies, road tripping, becoming a dog aunt to Tuck, and for the countless laughs we have had along the way. I can also give Linds credit for being my wing woman when I was introduced to my now husband! I am so honored to be a part of this special day and could not imagine Linds with anyone else! Here's to the Immel's!

“I met Immel at UW-L in 2008 on the football field. Immel introduced himself by kicking my a$$ routinely when our coach hilariously put him on the scout team. I decided to befriend the big ol’ ox over the winter months while we worked out. Immel made sure to push our workout group to the max by constantly adding more weight than any human should ever be required to lift. After about the second workout, with my back thrown out and wrenched like a pretzel, I figured this guy’s days on the scout team were numbered. Nothing brings me more joy than to see Immel truly happy with Lindsay. And while I’m happy and excited to see what their future together will bring, I’m mostly glad to see that Immel may have finally met his match in someone who is just as gifted athletically than he is!"

Lindsay and I have been the best of pals since elementary school. After graduating High School together and attending separate colleges, it was only fate that we both ended up in Green Bay together. Linds is my partner in crime. We share a love of all things Jon Langston, Morgan Wallen, and Matt LaFleur! I first met Ryan aka "Chad" when Linds and I were both residents at my parent's new house. Ryan soon became a new roommate, and after that the rest is history. Ryan checks off all of the boxes: tall, handsome, athletic, funny, caring, and most importantly, he gladly accepted the title of "Dog Dad" to Tucker. He also helped me to purchase my first guitar! I am so incredibly happy to be standing up next to two of my great friends on their wedding day!

Immel and I played football together at UW-L and were roommates for many years. Immel introduced me to the wonders of Shooters bar and Wild Turkey, while I taught Immel the value of actually doing the dishes and seeing how high you can stack a counter full of supplement bottles (don't remind him of that one time I blocked his shot in pickup bball at the rec). Realistic Ryan and I share an appreciation for a quiet, relaxed friendly gathering while everyone else hits the bars, and moving through life at our own pace; both of which made us fast friends. I'm thrilled to be a part of Immel and Lindsay's wedding and wish them a lifetime of happiness!

From making forts in her basement to basketball traveling league, sleepovers, tailgating every sporting event, and being on the lake at our cabins together, Lindsay and I have been friends since 5th grade and our journey has never been less than amazing and full of memories! When Linds met Ry I knew he was the one because I have never seen her as happy as she is with him and he loves Tuck- so that was a bonus! I'm grateful and honored to be able to stand by her side as she marries the man she will spend the rest of her life with!

"I met Ryan for the first time in 2008 when I tried out for the UWL football team, even though Ryan grew up 10 miles from my hometown and his father was my PhyEd teacher in high school. I had the pleasure of being teammates with Ryan on the defensive line for UWL, one of his roommates off-campus, and friends with him off the field. I am so happy for Ryan and Lindsay that they have found each other and are taking this next step in their lives together. Congratulations!"
Tucker
Ring Bearer
Woof Woof, my name is Tucker and I am Lindsay and Ryan's whole world, so they tell me! I am the most loving, friendliest, goofiest, laziest Goldendoodle you'll ever meet. I have the most important job on the big day.. keeping the rings safe and delivering them to the alter! If you see me throughout the day be sure to give me lots of pets and belly rubs and look out because I'm a hugger!
