Kiara Kaufman
Maid of Honor

Sister and best friend of the Bride.

We wouldn't be where we are today without her.

Our first four years of dating included many dates with Kiara, ultimately Lucas or Karissa ended up being the 3rd wheel because let's face it, she’s the fun one of the three of us. After she moved to Brookings to attend school at SDSU we quit having fun.

Riley's favorite babysitter and best play pal, you can often find them snuggling and napping together or playing with Riley’s favorite toys. 

Kiara enjoys coffee, naps, and a good adventure!

Garrett Boysen
Best Man
Brother of the Groom

Garrett and Lucas have been best friends for as long as we can remember. From growing up living at the lake during the summer creating all kinds of games to keep us entertained to later in life during the fall trying to get out in the field and hunt as much as possible.

Riley’s favorite uncle.

Garrett enjoys the outdoors, hunting, and woodworking.

Riley Boysen
Ring Bearer

Son of the Bride and Groom, our favorite little boy.

Riley is a spit fire of energy and loves cars, balls, and anything he can bang on / destroy.

He is a curious daredevil and is working on his climbing skills (though he has a hard time getting back down). He loves all animals, especially cousin Selke, and spends a lot of time at the zoo!

Riley is a great kid and loves all things water, including playing at Grandpa and Nala Boysen’s Lake cabin and swimming in Grandpa and Grandma Kaufman’s pool.
