Join us as we give Lauren and Stephen a big congratulations!

By Austin Gonzales

Lauren Fortin and Stephen Thibeault tied the knot on Sept. 8, 2024. The ceremony and reception occurred at Fenton Winery and Brewery, where friends and family gathered to watch the Baskin-Robbins co-owners be wed. Michigan magician Kerry Kaz officiated the ceremony. The reception that followed took place in the winery’s halls and featured an open bar, outdoor fireplace patio, lawn games, a dance floor, and a root beer float bar.

The newlyweds are both graduates of the University of Michigan-Flint. The bride graduated with a bachelor’s degree in organizational behavior and human resources. The groom graduated with a bachelor’s degree in finance. Together, they bought and reopened Bay City’s beloved Baskin-Robbins ice cream shop in 2023.

The Collegiate team would like to send its best wishes to the happily married couple. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Thibeault!
