Our Wedding

<p>Back in April of 2022, I downloaded a Christian dating app called Upward to find the man of my dreams. After a few failed dates, I was about to give up, but then I swiped right on this handsome fella named Kyle. Not only was his picture at a Timberwolves game a plus, he had written in his profile that he was a Lutheran, which was most important to me. Within the first few minutes of messaging back and forth we realized we were connected in more ways than one. Not only was he WELS, but he was a member at my childhood church, Petra Lutheran Church in Sauk Rapids Minnesota. An even crazier connection: Kyle's cousin had married one of my childhood friends. We bonded over the connections and shared relationships. Over the next year, we continued to bond and grow closer while going on bike rides, eating ice cream, hiking, swimming in quarries, playing board games, and more. We look forward to June 15th and creating even more memories together as husband and wife.</p>

Crystal is my sister who is two years older then me! She's always been by my side supporting me through all life's endeavors. We have shared many moments of both crying and laughing till we're crying together. 

Crystal Carmichael

Carla is my oldest sister and the one that I always go to for advice, whether its about fashion, children, or life's hardest moments. I admire her patience and her trust in God. 

Carla Hendrix

Heather is my second oldest sister. We have bonded over being the "healthcare experts" of the family with her being a physical therapist and I, a speech therapist. She has taught me to be thoughtful and the value of caring for others.

Alannah and I met at Petra Lutheran Church in St. Cloud, MN. We went to elementary school together till 2008, and then in 2016, we went to school together again at Bethany Lutheran College. Worlds collided when we found out that her husband Michael is cousins with Kyle, and now we get to be "related". 

Alannah Lendt

Grace and I went to Bethany Lutheran College together and met through playing soccer. Grace is one of the most loyal friends I've ever had. We have bonded over "The Princess Bride" and our love for Target.

I had first met Bekka in high school when she was dating my cousin Dan, but we officially became friends while we were at Bethany Lutheran College. I was her Personal Attendant for her wedding and now she is mine! She has such a servant heart and been a great shoulder to cry on.

Dan and I have enjoyed working together in imaging at St Cloud Hospital for the past 5+ years. He’s in CT and I’m in xray so it’s been fun having him just down the hallway. We enjoy “talking shop” while biking, golfing, or hanging out.

Dan Schroeder

My “assistant to the best man”, Kenny and I have been friends for the past 15 years. From going on vacations together, to working on house projects, to hanging out any chance we get, we never have a dull moment.

Kenny Dumpprope

Matt and I met my freshman year of college when he lived in the dorm room next to me. We’ve enjoyed playing basketball and golf, going to the gym, going on vacations together, and hanging out over the years.

Matt Kehrer

In addition to seeing Michael at family get togethers, we try to hangout whenever we can. From vacations together, game nights, kite boarding, and snow tubing behind his car, there’s always an adventure!

Michael Lendt

Erich and I met during xray school at St. Cloud Hospital. Since we were the only 2 guys in our 8 person rotation, we naturally became friends. Over the years we’ve enjoyed playing basketball, pickle ball, golf, and Settlers of Catan game nights
