Chris & Tori
Wedding Party
Ellie Rothfork
Maid of Honor
My baby sister + built in best friend! I’ll never forget the day I met my baby sister in the hospital - truly one of the most memorable days of my life! Despite our 8 year age difference and opposite personalities, she’s still the best friend a girl could have :) I could never imagine anyone else as my maid of honor, and am so happy to have her by my side on our wedding day!
Ben Kocer
Best Man
My Best Man Ben Kocer. Ben and I first met in 7th grade while playing football for Hill-Murray. We have now continued that friendship for 13 years. Kocer is a great man who has always been a great friend to me. I am really grateful to have such a loyal friend stand next to me on this amazing day.
Josey Skytland
Bridesmaid
Josey + I met in college in AKPsi, UND’s business fraternity. She always had the cutest outfits on, and I knew we had to be friends. We quickly became besties over our love for Friends and McDonald’s nuggs; what more could a friendship need?! Josey has the sweetest + kindest soul, yet can make you laugh ‘till you cry. Blessed to have Josey in my life, and I can’t wait to have her as a part of our special day!
Ryan Olson
Groomsman
Ryan and I met our sophomore year at Hill-Murray. We bonded during our senior year and have been great friends ever since. Olson now lives in California and I have been lucky enough to go visit him multiple times. Olson and I continue to have a strong friendship and I can’t wait until the days he moves back to the better state, Minnesota.
Cassie Thompson
Bridesmaid
Cassie + I met in a marketing class at UND through Josey - we were all together on group projects for this class! After hanging out with Cassie, and seeing her drive and passion, I knew she was someone I HAD to be friends with! Cassie has taught me so many things, including yoga, how to properly shop at TJ Maxx, and how to never give up on your wildest dreams. I’m so glad to have this amazing woman in my life, and have her by my side for the big day!
Hunter Huberty
Groomsman
Hunter and I also first met in 7th grade during football at Hill-Murray. We grew a friendship in our freshman year after getting cut from the basketball team (whoops). Hunter and I also attended UND together and were members of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Hunter is one of the most genuine people I have ever met and has taught me a lot.
Shayla Salvione
Bridesmaid
Shayla + I met in an entrepreneurship class at UND, also through working on group projects together! (Never be afraid to work with strangers on group projects because you’ll meet the best people :) ) We quickly became friends, and this girl has been such a wonderful person in my life ever since. I’m thrilled to have Shayla standing by my side on our wedding day!
Colton Rothfork
Groomsman
Something I have always wanted in my life is a little brother. I will now gain two young men, who are both awesome, as little brothers. Colton and Matthew are very smart and will do great things in this world. I am excited to be able to watch them continue to grow up as they travel through life.
Austin Gorecki
Bridesmaid
Auggie + I have always been very close growing up as cousins. We’ve been through the good, the bad, and the ugly with each other! From jamming to the Dixie Chicks on our CD players and choreographing dances when we were little to raising little ones of our own and getting married, we’ve been through it all together. So glad I’ve experienced life with this girl, and excited to have her with me on the big day!
Matthew Rothfork
Groomsman
Something I have always wanted in my life is a little brother. I will now gain two young men, who are both awesome, as little brothers. Colton and Matthew are very smart and will do great things in this world. I am excited to be able to watch them continue to grow up as they travel through life.
Liz Lenihan
Bridesmaid
I am so happy to be gaining another sister! Liz has the kindest heart, and welcomed me into her family with open arms. I’ve loved getting to know this incredible woman, and can’t wait to continue looking up to her through life. She’s been a great big sister to Chris, and can’t wait to have her as my own big sister. Very excited to have her by my side on the big day!
Pat Lenihan
Groomsman
Pat is the first brother I’ve had in my family! I couldn’t think of anyone better to have married my sister. Pat is a great human being who I am fortunate enough to call my brother. He is a great father to my nephew, Jameson. Pat has been a role model for me and I am blessed to have him in my family.
Kelsey Lee
Bridesmaid
Kelsey + I also met in college in AKPsi. I learned to know her as “Kelsey Lee” and the super smart girl that was crazy enough to major in accounting. I can’t pinpoint exactly when we decided to become friends, but I’m forever grateful that we did. Kels has been nothing but a joy in our friendship, even when she texts me in the middle of the night when she’s still at work :) I am so excited to have Kelsey as a part of our special day!
Pat Smith
Groomsman
Pat and I met during our freshman year at UND. We were both members of SAE and also lived as roommates during our college years. Pat has been a great friend of mine, offers great advice, and someone I can always depend on. Can’t wait to have him by my side on this day.
Charlotte Kuhlman
Flower Girl
My little cousin, Charlie, is our flower girl. We can't wait to see her all dolled up on our wedding day! :)
Jameson Lenihan
Ring Bearer
My nephew, Jameson, is our ring bearer. We can't wait to see him all dressed up on our wedding day!
Molly Kocer
Personal Attendant
Molly + I met at a St. Patrick’s Day pub crawl. Thank goodness our crazy guys are friends so we could become friends! I instantly loved Molly’s laid back personality, love for bloody marys, and that she’s always down to have a good time. I’m so excited for all of our adventures to come, and thrilled to have her as a part of our wedding day!
Dylan Gonzalez
Usher
Dylan (Gonzo) and I met our freshman year at Hill-Murray, during football. We also both attended UND and were members of SAE. Gonzo has a great personality who is always willing to be a great friend. I am lucky to have known him for so long and fortunate to have him in the wedding.
Marie Lange
Personal Attendant
Marie + I met at Primp! We started at almost the same time, and leaned on each other while learning a new job. Marie quickly became more than just a co-worker; she is a great friend, and is like the big sister I never had! It’s almost like being friends with Taylor Swift :) I’ve loved having her in my life, and grateful to have her a part of the big day!
Phil Paulson
Usher
Phil and I met during our freshman year at UND. We joined SAE together and he was one of my closest friends. Phil and I were roommates together at SAE and he was always up for a fun time. Phil has always been someone who I can count on. I am honored to have him a part of my wedding day.
Jenny Bruce
Personal Attendant
Jenny + I also met at Primp! She was always someone I looked up to at Primp when I first started, and was so excited to work side by side with her after growing within the company. Jenny is, also, like the big sister I never had! I know I can always count on Jenny to trade in our homemade lunches for Taco Bell, and she’s always my go-to girl for outfit inspiration. Very excited for Jenny to be with me on the big day!
