The Bridal Party

Our nearest and dearest family

Stephan Alt

The Best Man

Stephan is the eldest of Fritz' brothers. He's also the only brother. His hobbies include reading law books and speaking in a dad voice. He is a loving father to Christian and Camille and husband to his beautiful wife Melissa. Stephan, also has a discerning eye for style, even through the "Abercrombie days". He brings a welcome contrast to Fritz' unruly tendencies. Stephan and Fritz bond over their shared love for skiing as well as arguing as a pastime.

Melissa Alt

Fritz's Sister-in-Law

Melissa's keen eye for aesthetics transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary. She and Carly share a love for shopping, and discussing their time working on the sales floor at Nordstrom. Melissa was a track star at the University of St. Thomas, where Fritz and Carly also first met while running endless, painful circles. Whether she's coordinating the next family trip or pursuing her next design idea, Melissa adds a distinct flair and finesse. She is an indispensable member of the family.

She thinks Fritz is ok.

Lauren Barton

The Matron of Honor

As a dedicated nurse, Lauren is the heart and soul of compassion, her caring spirit extends far beyond the hospital walls. Lauren embodies the true essence of sisterhood. Lauren and Carly were a dynamic duo growing up, sharing a room, clothes, and hobbies. She is always there to lend an ear or a helping hand when "forgotten wallets" seem to plague Carly's TJ Maxx outings.

Casey Musgrove

Carly's Brother-in-Law

Once Casey embarked on a mission to secure a pair of coveted shoes for Carly, scouring stores and dredging the internet until he finally struck gold. The moment he presented Carly with the perfect pair, her eyes lit up with delight, and she knew then and there that Casey was a keeper—for her sister Lauren and for the entire family. Over the years, Casey and Carly have bonded over their shared love for teasing Lauren. We love you, Lauren!

Rachel Alt

Fritz's Eldest Sister

Rachel is Fritz' older sister by 7 years. They share a passion for general surgery as well as a dispassion for most other things: best not to get too worked up, ya know. Rachel and Fritz' connection transcends mere siblinghood: they may actually be the same person, but nobody knows for sure. Under the soft glow of the moon, they might lie barefoot in the dirt and stare at the stars or wander off into the ether of the night to commune with the coyotes.

Hank Daggett

Fritz's Brother-in-Law

Better known by his alter ego, Frank Dang'it. Frank is Fritz' brother-in-law and adventure mate. When schedules permit, they both prefer to spend their time somewhere deep in the woods surrounded by the fresh aroma of Ponderosa pine. Hank is a good friend, and most importantly, Rami The Noodle approved.

Harrison Barton

Carly's Older Brother

Harrison is and was a force of nature in the Barton household.

You can find him honing his skills as a master of hunting and connoisseur of the fisherman's art, this couldn't be further from Carly's interests. His teasing and banter tested Carly's patience growing up. But Carly always looked up to Harrison when it came to sports. He heavily influenced Carly's decision to run track over playing soccer in high school, which led to a college running career for Carly. And coincidentally how Carly met Fritz.

Raychel Barton

Carly's Sister-in-Law

Raychel, the radiant other half of Carly's brother, Harrison. Raychel and Carly first met when Harrison brought her to De Pere from Winona State in 2010. Raychel and Carly share a mutual love for the finer things in life --which includes listening to The Toast, indulging in the latest makeup product, or reveling in the drama of Bravo's latest storyline.

August Cooper

Fritz's Cousin

In the dusty spans of their childhood imaginations, played out in the grassy plains of eastern Iowa , August and Fritz were more than cousins; they were pardners in adventure, comrades in every pursuit. As soon as they were toddling, so too were they galloping through the backyard, pistols drawn and oversized hats cocked, fearlessly defending their homesteads from bandits and bad-guys . Through countless hard-fought battles, they forged a bond as as sturdy as the reins of their trusty steeds.

Sarah Alt

Fritz's Sister

Sarah and Fritz growing up were kindred spirits, partners in play, and each other's steadfast companions. They ushered in a new era for Barbie and her true soul mate, GI Joe. Though time may have ushered in new chapters and distances, the memories of their playful escapades remain etched in Fritz's heart, a timeless tribute to the enduring bond between siblings.

The House Party

Our nearest and dearest friends

Eliza Campbell

Eliza and Carly met during Eliza's freshman year of high school on the Cross Country team. They bonded over music, McDonald's French fries, and passing notes. Whenever Carly finds herself in Green Bay, Eliza ensures that their reunions are filled with trips to beloved local spots like Smart Cow, Hagemeister, or Bay Family.

Will Bradford

Fritz and Will met in kindergarten, but became friends at the grossly misnamed Sundown mountain where Will, Lucas, and Fritz spent hours skiing the some of the most exciting terrain the corn -belt has to offer. Fortunately their friendship took them to snowier peaks where they could send-it downhill for more than 30 seconds at a time and stay hydrated with mid-mountain beer breaks.

Mariah Maas

Mariah and Carly met during summer gym before freshman year. If it weren't for Mariah extending a hand of friendship, Carly might not have had any friends in High School. Despite the miles that separate them, they've met up in cities far and wide, from Minneapolis and Milwaukee to Denver, Phoenix, Vail, and Crested Butte. Each reunion is proof that no distance is too great to keep true friends apart.

Lucas Vondran

Lucas and Fritz are bandmates and bring good vibes to their exclusive audience. To date, they have recorded 0 albums, but have driven Will to the verge of madness innumerable times with their vibrant renditions of One Direction and other classical greats. Always keeping the good times rolling.

Maggie DeBaker

Maggie and Carly's journey began in their high school French class during freshman year. Maggie's brilliance was a guiding light throughout high school. Carly even took Honors Chemistry, Honors French, Advanced Biology, and IB English, all in the same semester just so she could be in the same classes with her. However, it was a two-week trip to Europe after sophomore year that truly solidified their bond.

Robbie (Robby) Williams

He still doesn't know how to spell his own name, but we love him anyway. Roommates for three years, disappointments to coach Pete for four. Always down to party away the physical pain of running too fast for comfort, and the mental pain of running too slow for appreciation.

Jessica Reigh

Jessica and Carly met during the summer before Jess's freshman year during the carpool to summer running club. Back in the day, you could find Jess and Carly riding around town in Carly's big blue Ford Expedition, usually going to Zesty's for some custard and assuming every bump in the road was just a pot hole.

Jake Gerhartz

Honestly too kind to hang around the crowd he does, but we're glad to have him. Along with Robbie, Fritz and Jake spent a month in Mexico for j-term pretending to go to class and chugging horchata and the occasional michelada. Jake is a compassionate nurse and the quintessence of a good person, but capable of throwing some mad shade when provoked.

Bridget McGivern

Bridget and Carly met in 2013. In the first two weeks of Cross Country at St. Thomas they developed a bond through the grueling demands of their sport and making fun of the boys' team. They were roommates for 3 years, during which time they enjoyed lengthy dinners at The View, trips down Grand Ave, and watching the red carpet for the Met Gala. These days you can call her Professor McGivern or Dr. Dirt the Soil Sleuth.

Sam Bach

Sam is a recovering mole person. We've made substantial progress assimilating him back into society, though he frequently misses the damp solidarity of the underground.. He's also a dentist so just lie and tell him you floss. A(-) human overall with points deducted for the mere thought of a root canal. A(+) rodent.

Kayla Janto Trapp

Kayla and Carly's friendship kicked off back in 2013 during Cross Country at St. Thomas. Their bond grew through their shared love of running until everything hurts and was solidified by their mutual love of microwaved sweet potatoes. They were roommates for 4 years until Kayla moved to Chicago for PA school and Ryan Garrett took over Kayla's room. The apartment was never the same after that.

Ryan Trapp

Ryan is a genuinely weird guy, which is why we like him. We aren't sure he knows, though, so try not to gawk. His passions include tropical fish and cats,; hallmark interests for either an incurable optimist or a budding psychopath. We're pretty ok with either.

The Ushers

Charlie Jones

Fritz and Charlie met at St. Thomas doing the old track running thing . During one Spring Break, they took a cross country trip to California to see what all the fuss was about. Along the way they stopped for the Mint 400 and did all the drugs with their convertible top down, getting banned from several establishments in Vegas in the process. No, wait, that was Hunter S. Thompson. Anyway, we're not allowed to say what really went down in Vegas per the Las Vegas secrecy bylaws.

Ben Pregler

This is Ben. Fritz and Ben met on LinkedIn. He's been an intern at a bank since he was old enough to legally secure a job. In high school, Fritz and Ben, along with some truly seedy characters, embarked on an unforgettable journey to the Tetons to play in the dirt. They heard the dirt was good there. With their backpacks loaded with spirits and their spirits high, they set out on this adventure of a lifetime. They had to choke out a bear in self-defense. It was wild.
