Billy & Alisa
Wedding Party
Zack Kaiser
Best Man
Billy and Zach met in the way, way, way, early days of 2006. Through the mutual friend group, they bonded and were inseparable moving forward. Over the years they’ve traveled overseas, played countless live shows, and fostered a relationship akin to brothers. So much of their lives are entangled together that it’s tough to describe the impact they’ve had on each other's growth. We love Zach like family and consider him as such. He’s passionate, diligent, humorous, adventurous, and always willing to go above and beyond in everything he does. They have buddy tattoos, and they are still friends.
Mimi Raizen
Maid of Honor
Alisa and Mimi met on the light rail back in 2015. Mimi sat across from Alisa thinking she was the most normal looking person on the train. Oh how wrong she was! Soon they bonded over their love of musicals and pop culture. After many travel excursions around both Colorado and the U.S, a 2-year stint as roommates, and so much new food it’s safe to say Mimi knows Alisa better than anyone. We love Mimi for her huge heart and cheeky sense of humor!
Casey Baker
Groomsman
Billy met Casey at 8:15 AM in a graphic design class in 2016. Billy was obviously awake during that class ;) Thankfully Casey was energetic, outgoing, and excited to introduce himself to a new classmate. This was the foundation for the next several years together where Billy and Casey spent every class together and were completely inseparable. Casey is fiercely loyal, honest, and always willing to help the ones he loves. We love Casey because Billy wouldn’t have survived school without him, and his friendship can never be replaced in our lives.
Michal Peer
Bridesmaid
Alisa and Michal met through Mimi. In fact, after the first time they met they hopped on a plane to New York. They’re lucky they get along so well, or that could have been awkward! Their friendship has been filled with inside jokes, movies, laughs, and maybe one too many drinks. Michal is such a loyal friend and fun person to be around!
Ryan Sheldon
Groomsman
Billy met Ryan in 2006 when Carlson, King Murphy, and Georgetown Elementary came together. There is no single moment to describe what drew Billy and Ryan together. From the moment they spoke they meshed their interests and personalities. They were like peanut butter & Jelly, or pizza & fries, or rock & roll. Some of the best parts of Ryan are the best parts of Billy. We love Ryan because he is kind, steadfast, quick-witted, and always carries great insight with him. Billy’s life wouldn’t be the same without Ryan.
Alex Kaiser
Bridesmaid
Alisa met Alex at her and Zach’s engagement party back in 2017. They bonded over their love of art and Italy. Through the years it has been filled with parties and fun, and while they only see each other once or twice a year it is like no time has passed. Alex is an easy person to be around, making anyone feel safe and invited. We also love her for her dark scene of humor and sarcasm.
Dustin Smith
Groomsman
Billy and Dustin Met in 2006 when Carlson, King Murphy, and Georgetown Elementary came together. Dustin always went out of his way to include everyone and share his interests and excitement with the people around him. He also went above and beyond to stay in touch after high school. Where a lot of relationships fade, Dustin preserved a fond friendship with Billy even when they were over 2,000 miles apart. We love Dustin because he is kind, encouraging, charismatic, and always there when you need a friend. There are very few people in this world you can count on like you can count on Dustin. He has also been Billy and Alisa’s Dungeons & Dragons DM for over three years. Stats are as follows: Strength: 13 Dexterity : 11 Constitution: 14 Intelligence: 16 Wisdom: 18 Charisma: 16 Dustin would be a great paladin.
Olivia Smith
Bridesmaid
Alisa met Olivia through Dustin this past year, and soon became fast friends. With their bi-weekly D&D sessions and many nights just hanging out with friends they have gotten to know each other very well. They can easily spend the whole night talking and laughing. Alisa was just a bridesmaid in Olivia & Dustin’s wedding, and now it’s Olivia’s turn to get Alisa down the aisle. We love Olivia for her fierce loyalty, accepting nature, and ability to tell a great story.
