Brett is my brother and has been with me through thick and thin. I am happy to have him as my best man since he has always been a positive example of what a good man should be. He has always been by my side whether it has been prospecting, blacksmithing, metalworking, casting, and sharing his knowledge to help us graduate and become successful engineers. We challenge each other to strive for the best.

Sean has been a great friend since high school. He is the most strong-willed individual I know and is always willing to lend a hand. He is my welding instructor and fabricator extraordinaire. He is one hell of a man, always pushing me to be the best I can be. I am proud to call him a friend and have him join us on our day!

Muffin and I met 30 years ago when his Dad coached our soccer team. We reconnected in high school and the rest is history! He has always been a dependable friend willing to help a second's notice. His love for firearms is shared by all of us and he makes an amazing Gunsmith.

Ian and I connected in middle school and I was intrigued by his red hair and swag! He has always pushed my comfort level to the max as he is an adrenaline junkie. He is a pilot and entrepreneur. He is always thinking of new ways to improve our daily living. He just launched Tactical-EV.com which specializes in secure firearm storage for electric vehicles and tactical accessories.

Logan and I met in high school, through mutual friends. He has always been dependable! When I told him I was getting married he asked "When and where, and was ready to book his ticket!" Logan is the biggest Green Bay Packers fan ever to live, I think I can count the times on one hand that I have seen him not wearing gold and green! haha His brother and he own and operate the Indians store in Keystone, the business has been in the family for over 50 years. We are excited for him and Sydney to join us in Curacao!

Tanner is my cousin and is my mom's brother's son. We grew up hours away from each other, so we spent most of our holidays together. Growing up the holiday dinners were interesting because we both were very picky eaters, a must-have-dinner option would have been chicken nuggets and chocolate milk or ramen noodles. Dinners got easier as we got older. Tanner has a similar passion for building things and solving problems. Tanner is also an engineer, but only a civil one........but there is nothing civil about it. I do believe Tanner will follow in his father's footsteps and become a future land developer. We are excited for the Greig's to join us in Curacao.

Erik met Leigh in high school through mutual friends. She quickly became "one of the guys" and often was found hanging at the Carlsons'. She has remained a great friend throughout the years. Leigh has a very fun, spunky, and spontaneous personality, and is often found to have brightly colored hair. Erik and her share a passion for rocks and minerals. She is always willing to go on a rock-hounding trip. Leigh teaches Kindergarten at Pinedale Elementary, thank you for helping shape the minds of future generations. We are so lucky to have her join us in Curacao as a "Groomswoman."
