Addi & Alex
Wedding Party
Abby Mortinsen
Maid of Honor
Abby is one my longest standing friends. I roped her into climbing with me and a group of other friends (including Alex) in high school, and we've been close ever since. She's spent hours crafting, laughing and living life with me. Abby radiates joy, warmth, and a fierce sense of loyalty, and I cannot wait to have her close to me on my special day. Love you girl! - Addi
Liz Larson
Maid of Honor
Abby brought Liz into my life during college, and I couldn't be more thankful. The three of us spent countless hours on our college couch laughing, crying, and sharing our lives with each other. I have come to know Liz as one of the most level headed and steadfast people I will ever have the honor of knowing. I love you and thank you for being a part of life with me! - Addi
Cassidy Nelson
Bridesmaid
Cassidy and I met on a mission trip to Nicaragua. We reconnected in college for a short time, then reconnected again just last year. Every time we come back together it feels like I'm reuniting with a forever friend. I have so many joyful memories of crafting, laughing, and making movies with Cassidy. She can always bring a new perspective to life's challenges. - Addi
Cayla Kennedy
Bridesmaid
I met Cay in college through some mutual friends. We played games together a few times before we became fast friends outside of the group setting. She's driven me (and Copper) home from class on more than one occasion, and her taste in music always keeps us laughing! Throughout the time I've known her, Cay has always been an incredibly firm believer in Alex and me. Her whole hearted support means the absolute world. - Addi
Graham Blocher
Bridesman
I have had the distinct honor of knowing Graham since he was twenty minutes old. Through our childhood, he has always been brilliant, witty, and observant. It has been a pleasure to watch him turn from a kid to a teenager, and now to a young adult. His comedic nature and ability to exist confidently wherever he finds himself will always be admirable to me. I look forward to continuing to watch him evolve as he goes through college and into the real world! - Addi
Eddie Levine
Bridesman
Eddie and I met in college. Far before I had the pleasure of being his friend, I admired him as an artist. I appreciate his unique outlook on the human condition. His willingness to let go of convention and jump into the unknown is how we ended up hanging out for the first time when he agreed to come model for an alpaca photoshoot for me. Thank you Eddie for jumping into the unknown once again to stand with me on my wedding day. - Addi
Patrick Britti
Best Man
I've had the unique pleasure of knowing Patrick my entire life (too bad he can't say the same about me, those first few years must have been dreadful without me). I can say without a doubt that Patrick is the smartest person I know. I appreciated learning obscure facts all throughout our childhood and even more esoteric facts now that we are adults. I'm honored to have him as the best man at my wedding. As the best man at his wedding, I learned way too many facts about Flemish Bond (ask him about it if you get the chance); I can't wait to see what I'll learn from him at my wedding. -Alex
Alexander Erwin
Groomsman
Erwin and I became friends our sophomore year of high school. I can say that my life has been without a doubt better since then. I've never known someone as kind as Erwin. He puts effort into his relationships like no one else, dropping everything for a friend or loved one at a moment's notice. He even flew out Colorado to help me with propose to Addi last December because he knew the stress of making sure everything went right. Erwin, there is no way I could ever show you the gratitude I have being your friend. I can't way to see where our friendship takes us next. -Alex
Nicholas Bruno
Groomsman
Nick was one of the first people I met in high school. We didn't talk much until senior year, when we became fast friends. The two of us ended up at CU together and despite not having a single class together, saw each other virtually every day. Somehow, he put up with me as a roommate for three years and gave me irreplaceable memories from playing board games at 2am in our college house to long hikes through national parks. I'm so happy our friendship has gone on all these years and I'm honored to have him as one of my groomsmen. -Alex
Aidan Coohill
Groomsman
Aidan is someone that has always pushed me to seek discomfort. It started in small ways at first, encouraging me to try exotic foods during the pandemic which led me to start cooking (now one of my favorite things to do). I'm glad I never stopped listening to him then because without his gentle nudges into the unknown I never would have hiked through the canyons of Zion or taken a boat to the remote Island of Orkney. He's always seen the best in me and encouraged me to be a better person at every step. I'm so grateful for the friendship that we've had over the past few years and I can't wait to see where he'll push me next. -Alex
Misha Kuetemeier
Groomsman
Misha came into my life during my first college class. We quickly became friends when we realized we shared many of the same interests. After not too long we were watching movies together every week and realized how much we wanted to make movies together. Throughout college the two of us worked on over two dozen sets. Those sets were some of the best times I had in college and I can't imagine doing them without him. We make a great team. I can't wait to get to our next project, whatever it might be. -Alex
Rob Ruiz
Groomsman
Rob and I met on the second day of college and not a day goes by without me being thankful for it. Rob is one of (if not) the funniest person I know. Rob can make you laugh in the most unexpected ways. Rob is a great friend who hung out in the editing lab with me till the wee hours of the morning just so I didn't have to be alone, and always has a movie or TV show to recommend for every occasion. I'm honored to have Rob as one of my groomsmen and I hope we can get to work on another creative project soon! -Alex
