Kiana & KC
Our People!
Kennedy Righthouse
Maid of Honor
When Kennedy was born, I won't lie, I didn't really want a little sister--mostly because I wanted all of the attention to myself ;). I remember being so upset that her birthday was before mine simply because the younger sister could not possibly have a birthday before the older sister, and yet so excited to see her in that little bassinet in the hospital! Well, God answered that prayer and instead of giving me a little sister, I received my very best friend, my mini-me, and my partner-in-crime. There was NO way I wasn't going to have her be my main gal to help me marry the man of my dreams and the man she calls her brother!!
Julia Kamlet
Bridesmaid
This lovely lady and I have been inseparable since birth seeing as we are only twenty days apart and blood related! Julia and I have shared every memory, trial, triumph, transition--both big and small, big moments and small wins since we were little. Everything from coordinating childhood outfits (yes, there are pictures, but you will just have to trust me that they are adorable!), to gossiping over the latest drama, sharing stories of boys we liked, putting on shows for our entire family and everything in between! I could not imagine marrying the man of my dreams without her standing there right next to me!
Jentri Schmitt
Bridesmaid
Best friend doesn't do this girl justice--as evident by our matching tattoos and love of Jesus and this sweet life! Jentri came into my life at a time where there was a lot of uncertainty and has walked with me through every up and down, teaching me to love like Jesus does and spread joy to everyone I meet. While she may be traveling and pursuing her dreams, we have never failed to keep in touch or travel half-way around the world for each other--much like she will be doing to share in our very special day!!
Haeli Phalen
Bridesmaid
Haeli and I met our freshman year of college when we both joined the same sorority--Sigma Kappa. When Sophomore year came along and we were both going to be living in our sorority house, she would be the first one to tell you she didn't really like me but she was only excited to hear all about the drama in my life (because if you know anything about that time in my life, it was a bit dramatic, haha!) Well, then she actually liked me and she hasn't been able to get rid of me since!! We quickly became the best of friends--doing EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING together!! We shared a room, a house, and a life--needless to say, sharing this day was not a question!!
Hannah Adler
Bridesmaid
Hannah and I met my Junior year of college, and if you ask me, I wish we would have met sooner!! She is definitely one of a kind and a friend that I quickly knew would be one that would stay in my life forever. This sweet lady taught me to live life with a little more spunk, take in every adventure, take time to relax and rejuvenate, and so much more! I quickly realized that this friendship would be one that no matter the distance or time between conversations, we would always be able to pick up right where we left off! I am BEYOND excited to share our special day with her by my side!!
Karinna Nickels
Bridesmaid
This sweet girl and I shared the basement of my house in college for my senior year and could never get enough of one another. We would talk often that one year just was not enough, and boy do I wish that we would have had just one more year!! Between the two of us, there never failed to be endless laughter, homework dates, snuggles, late-night yoga, and just about everything else that you can imagine!! There was no question in my mind that she would stand by my side as KC and I begin our lives together!
Emily Ellerbusch
Bridesmaid
This lady and I were "forced" to love one another as David and KC are the best of friends...but what can I say, she grew on me and I wouldn't have it any other way!! Emily and I first met when I first started dating KC and became the "new girl" in the group. I was a little scared about what KC's friends would think of me but, Emily and I quickly became the best of friends, going on coffee dates whenever possible, having game, movie and wine nights both with the boys and without, talking about everything and now getting to stand with each other as we BOTH get to marry our dream guys just weeks apart from one another! I never imagined meeting a friend like Emily, but now I can't imagine my life without her!!
Charlie Cournoyer
Best Man
Charlie and I have known each other since middle school! As "enemies" we continued from the same middle school to the same high school from there we became friends, best friends and now, brothers! Charlie and I have always looked out for each other! Him standing next to me on this big day is a no brainer!
David Ruminski
Groomsman
This guy..... I met David through Delta Sigma Phi and the music education program at UNCo. We instantly hit it off! We had most of our classes together and as the only instrumental music ed majors and fraternity gentlemen we were always together! Now we are best friends, brothers, and colleagues teaching music in Colorado Springs together! I'm honored to have him stand by me! YITBOS
Braeden Righthouse
Groomsman
This kid didn't think he was going to make the cut haha! It has been an incredible opportunity to hang with this guy and watch him grow! We have gotten so close in the past 2+ years and I am so incredibly excited to share my shoe problem with my future brother-in-law!
Matt Jenkins
Groomsman
I bugged and bugged this big guy to rush Delta Sig. When he finally caved, I was thrilled and honored to take him as a little! He has taught me so much about life, myself, my relationship, and my goals in and out of college and I'm very lucky to have him in my life as well as by my side!!
Michael Bottoms
Groomsman
Bottoms was one of my very first friends after transferring from Boise State (Go Broncos). He was in the Northern Colorado Chapter of Delta Sig. Over the 3 years I spent there we brain stormed ways to make the org the best it could be, smoked a lot (maybe too much) hookah, played video games on what feels like every console, and most of all, became true brothers! Can't wait to have him with me while I marry the woman of my dreams!
Cody Dorman
Groomsman
Starting with Delta Sig, Cody and I have gone on so many adventures! We were roommates at our epic annex house and we went on some crazy fun spring break trips (one was more crazy because Gavin planned it). We have always looked out for each other in and out of college and in and out of the organization! He's a great friend and brother and when he moves to Colorado Springs he'll be a best friend ;) Can't wait to get into more trouble with this guy during the big day!
Luis Pagan
Groomsman
I've known this dude for the shortest amount of time but if you watch us together you'd think we had grown up together. Luis and I know each other through the UNCO Percussion studio. We clicked over our mutual love of all things music and Tyler the Creator. We have played in many ensembles together and taught together! The only thing better than us teaching together is us joking around together! Can't wait to have him by my side on my big day!
Daniel Visel
Groomsman
Daniel and I met through the fraternity. He was in the first pledge class that I had the honor of being involved with since transferring to UNCo from Boise State. Since meeting him, Daniel continues to inspire me with his confidence in himself and in those around him. We have spent 4 great years creating memories as brothers and roommates in the Mansion aka. The Chilis Cabana, going on crazy trips, having amazing thought provoking conversations, and taking on the world together. I am blessed to know him and so excited to have him standing with me on this special day!
