Wedding Party
Ali Poppe
Bride
Happiest girl of the day, as all her dreams come true! She found her prince, and can't wait to build their life together! Tyler is truly her better half!
Tyler Rue
Groom
Nothing but smiles for this guy on his special day! The happiest guy that has a lot of love to give and fortunate he gets to give it to his forever best friend!
Adam Rue
Best Man
Tyler’s big brother, Ali’s new brother! Adam is getting away from the Houston heat to come be a part of our special day! His wittiness and creative sense of humor definitely makes him a family favorite! There is no way Tyler would have ever thought about getting married without Adam by his side!
Weston Scott
Groomsman
It took some time, but the quiet and reserved Weston finally opened up and he and the groom have been inseparable since sophomore year of college! Not many dull moments with the groom and Weston! From football games, country jam trips, road trips with to Havasu (along with Jake), there are too many stories and memories to count! A definite friendship that will last a lifetime and excited to have him be with us on our big day!
Jake Dubbert
Groomsman
Started as college friends and roommates and continued on! Both living in the same dorm, the groom and Jake hit it off almost immediately! One of the grooms favorite trips was being able to do a long road trip home from DC with Jake where he saw places and made memories he will never forget! An amazing friend, couldn’t imagine him not with us as we say I DO!
Ryan Trujilo
Groomsman
The grooms time spent at CSU formed many relationships and one of the best has been with Ryan! In college, these two planned their classes together, worked on projects together, pretty much if you saw the groom in the CM Department, Ryan was probably right there with him! Fast forward ten years… they work together! Ryan was a big part of the groom being able to move back to Colorado! A friendship we hold dear to our hearts, and we are excited to have him by our sides as we start this journey!
Dan Zimmerman
Groomsman
When the groom moved to Washington after college he immediately formed a bond with Dan! The groom (or tubby as Dan would say), knows that he has always had the most genuine friend in Dan! The groom has been fortunate to continue his relationship with Dan even after moving back home! Words can’t express how grateful the groom was when Dan and his wife Whitney asked him to be their daughter, Paysen’s godfather! We are lucky to have a true friend and a better person by our side!
Chad Poppe
Groomsman
Ali's older brother, Tyler's new brother! Chad is putting aside his crab fishing in Alaska to be here with us on our special day! He has always been such a special person and role model in Ali's life. Tyler and Ali have enjoyed adventures with Chad and Stacy in Alaska, Hawaii and Colorado! We couldn't imagine our special day without him being a part of it!
Brenna Schmaltz
Maid of Honor
This relationship began in nursing school and grew over their love for hikes, animals, wineries and breweries! The laughter and joy this young lady brings into the Bride's life is irreplaceable. It is guaranteed that she will make you smile and laugh before you leave!
Amy Wolfelt
Bridesmaid
The friendship that never fades. Did you know rollerblading is still a thing?! These girls do! From learning how to read, to driving lessons, wine and cheese dates and night time bike rides. She is known as "Dust Mop" to the Poppe family.
Emily Goldammer
Bridesmaid
The one and only E.O.B! The friend who will always have your back, no matter the states apart. From country backroads and summer nights fishing, medical missions in Haiti, and fun in the sun in the Bahamas. Nursing school sure blessed the Bride with this life long friendship!
Christine Starch
Bridesmaid
Who knew 30 years later?! Memories of grasshopper hospital, to preserving bees in ice cubes, to sleepovers that turned into a second home, where parents never had to ask if they needed to set out an extra plate for dinner. There isn't a day in the bride's childhood that doesn't involve Christine!
Amber Velasquez
Bridesmaid
Paired as college roommates, to becoming lifelong friends! The bride learned more life lessons with Amber than any school could teach her! She is strong-willed and always tells you her opinion and the friend that you can always count on! Amber is a wonderful mother to three little ones, including the bride's Godson, Jared.
Wendy Murillo
Bridesmaid
Tyler’s big sister, Ali’s new sister! We are so excited to have Wendy here as our families grow! She has always been Tyler’s biggest fan and protector! Wendy has the biggest heart and we couldn’t imagine our day without her! She has the cutest ring bearer that we have ever seen!

Father of the Bride
Jacque Poppe
Mother of the Bride
Michael Rue
Father of the Groom
Valerie Rue

Faith Starch
Flower Girl
We are so lucky and excited to have Faith as our flower girl! Faith has many traits that remind her mom, Christine, of Ali! Keeping up with her brothers, catching bugs, loving on dogs and playing with dolls- Faith is a little mini Ali! The bride felt so special hearing Faith named her nurse Barbie after her.
Carder Murillo
Ring Bearer
Ali can not wait to become Carder’s Aunt! Tyler’s nephew and godson, (Wendy’s son), has been such a joy to see grow over the years! From day one, Carder has had his eye on his new Aunt Ali! Nothing but smiles from Carder when she walks in the room! No shortage of cuteness with Tyler’s little buddy and we are so excited he gets to be part of our special day!
Angie Kotzmoyer
Officiant
The Maid of Honor introduced the Bride to Angie several years ago. Tyler has been able to experience the joy Angie brings to those around her. As a pastor, there wasn't anyone else we could think of that would make our day as special as her!
