Steve Kinnison - Officiant
We couldn’t think of a better person to marry us! Steve is one of the funniest, caring & kind people around. Dude has the best taste in music, as well as best eye for photos (but he’s off the hook for our day!). John & I both consider him a brother (as if we don’t have enough). We could go on & on- but we can’t wait for the rest of you to witness how awesome he is.
Natalie Hasekamp - Maid of Honor
Ever since preschool when Natty was in timeout & I smiled at her attempting to cheer her up, we’ve been best friends. She's my hippie bestie and my home.
Beth Clarkin - Matron Of Honor
In kindergarten, Natalie, Beth and I were inseparable. Unless it was the holidays and I had a hard time understanding why they got to be together but I had to miss out. Pretty soon it felt like I got to be a part of the Collico/Campanella family and I couldn’t be more thankful for such loud Italians.
Ang Kinnison - Matron of Honor
Growing up in north county, everyone knows everyone. I couldn’t be more thankful that Mercy Labor and Birth reunited us and gave us the title of work wives. As former roommates, this woman knows more about me than anyone should, yet still somehow agreed to be here.
Erin Vaughn - Bridesmaid
From playing soccer together on Florissant United to booting our previous roommates and moving in together at MO State, Erin and I somehow survived nursing school together and I couldn’t think of a better person to be with 24/7 in the oldest dorm on campus.
Jodi Owen - Bridesmaid
Jodi trained me at Mercy when I first started on Med Surg. Thank heavens she got me out of there and got me in the OB world! Jodi’s the big (figuratively speaking) sister Mercy chose for me. She’s tiny but mighty and I love her even more for it.
Beth Wilhelm - Bridesmaid
Beth is my future Spengler sister in law! *wink wink nudge nudge Michael*. She's funny and witty and I couldn't be more excited to have her as a sister.
Natalie Heiligenstein - Bridesmaid
Natalie is my sister that my brother Adam chose for me! I couldn’t be more thankful nor surprised he was able to convince someone as awesome as her to marry him!
Renae Heiligenstein - Bridesmaid
Renae is my sister my brother Paul chose for me! Renae has some of the best one liners around. We’re thankful she puts up with Paul’s never ending Dad jokes and jorts.
Lauren Heiligenstein - Bridesmaid
Lauren is my sister Andrew chose for me! She’s got the eye for antiques and I’m excited to piece decoration ideas with her.

Jen Krazl - Pretty By Nikee - Hair & Makeup
Jen has been my (Kayla - would be weird if it was John typing this) go to gal for putting any color in my hair. Every time she does my hair I feel like a brand new woman. I should probably tip her more for being my therapist as well. It's only fitting I trust her with doing my hair and makeup for the big day too! She's the equivalent to a big sister to me and I couldn't be more thankful for her! Check her out on Instagram: @prettybynikee
Josy Heiligenstein - Makeup By Jo - Makeup Artist

Tom Heiligenstein's Home - Our Venue
We are thrilled to get married on my Dad's property! The lakes are beautiful and Dad works his booty off not only to maintain the beauty, but to make it even more enjoyable with each project he completes. We are going to have a blast and appreciate that the party can go on as long as we want it to!
