The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Barry Ginter of Lee’s Summit, Missouri. Christine is the granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gary E. Haggerty of Lee’s Summit and Mrs. LeRoy Ginter of Salisbury, Missouri, and the late Mr. Ginter. Her groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Dave Kraemer of Blue Springs, Missouri. Joseph is the grandson of Mr. and Mrs. Harlen Mehrer of Sauk Centre, Minnesota, and Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Kraemer of Osakis, Minnesota. On the evening prior to the ceremony, the groom’s parents toasted their son and future daughter-in-law at the rehearsal dinner, which was held at Stoney Creek.

The bride’s parents hosted the wedding reception at Arrowhead Stadium. Mary Kroening served as matron of honor, with Heather Crutcher as maid of honor.
