Bride
Andra is an amazing woman, mother, singer and teacher. She has two wonderful boys, Alan and Zachary, and they are the lights of her life. She has an amazing smile that lights up the room and a never give up attitude. Always ready to help others, even if it means standing up and fighting for them. She inspires me to be a better man, husband, and partner.
Best Man
Ron and Dave are best friends and have known each other since 1989 when they were in the USAF together. Not so humble brag: He's literally a NASA rocket scientist.

Janelle is a teacher from Michigan who knows way too much about rocks and farm animals. Her students like to bring her big trophy's from science contests! Janelle and Dave also served together in the USAF back in the early 90s.

Heather and Dave are dear friends and fun trivia fact: they were born on exactly the same day, just a couple hours apart! Heather and Dave served together in the USAF back in the early 90's.
Groomsman
Eddie and Dave are friends who have worked together for 20+ years doing "computer stuff" for "the government". (It's way less exciting that whatever you're imagining.) Eddie has a farm and tractors!
Groomsman
Frank is Dave's little brother and a former US Army Ranger. He's now a chef!
Groomsman
Alex is Dave's oldest son. A former US Marine and Amazon box hurler, he is now a trade analyst.

Anthony is Dave's second oldest son. He's running his own business as president of an expert consulting firm.
Maid of Honor
Bianca and Andra met at UNC as fellow aspiring performers. They kindled a deeper friendship a couple years later when she and Andra started performing together in The Colorado Caroling Company. She teaches voice and instrumental music privately at her studio in Denver, sings with multiple groups including her very own, Bianca and the Flyboys! She is a vibrant, loving person, and an amazing friend.
Man of Honor
We met in the musical Oklahoma! back in `98 and have been friends since. David is a dear friend who inspires everyone he meets and is deeply loved by all who know him. Among the multitude of things he does, he is the owner and Lead Personal Trainer of Perfect Fit Wellness Center in Peyton, CO, has performed on Broadway, (squeeee!), and he takes the most amazing pictures of sunrises! He truly is a remarkable man and friend.
Bridesmaid
Andra and Jen met at City Rock and became avid climbing buddies and friends. They also share the passion of writing and have formed their own writing group. Jen's resume reads like she is a counter-intelligence bad-ass ready to star in her own crime-solving action movie. It does her justice; it's easy to be wicked impressed and in awe of what she can do. When she is not protecting Andra from falling to her death or helping her become a better writer, she is seeking justice for cold-case victims as a private detective, speaking at CrimeCon, or being an instructor at the American Military University, among other things. She is a beautiful, strong, vivacious, and kind friend.
Bridesmaid
Dina is an insightful, wise, inspiring person and has the remarkable gift of stabilizing your nervous system and emotional state of being through Rolfing. The woman is magic. She met Andra several years ago when she started wielding those magic powers on Andra's son, Zachary. They became friends during her weekly visits and she is credited for this day. When I asked her about this nice man that I'd been seeing and wondering if I would mess-up such a good friendship if we moved it further, she responded with, "Just take a chance. You'll never know unless you take a chance." I'm so very glad I did. Thank you, Dina! Dina works at her own business, DC Rolfing. She is an insightful, strong, wise and fun-loving friend.
Bridesman
Greg is Andra's brother. He's an insurance professional at USAA, a great father, and a witty, funny guy. I've always regarded him as calm and composed and he was consistently able to masterfully get us out of childhood blunders, like, say, setting the living-room carpet on fire.
Bridesmaid
Tammy is Andra's sister-in-law. She is a cardiac nurse, so, naturally she is the one that everyone in the family calls when they think something is wrong with them. She is beautiful, strong to no end, loving, has a slew of awesome tattoos, and is a wonderful mother.
Bridesmaid
Micaela and Andra met through their mutual friend, Bianca. They got to know each other over multiple Marco Polo conversations and bonded quickly. She's an eData Analyst, a fellow Colorado native and cat lover, a bowler, swing dancer, and lover of all things aviation. She's a wonderful friend and has many adventures that Andra can't wait to partake in.
Groom
David is creative. He's intelligent and funny, ingenious and loving. A faithful and strong man and a champion to all he holds dear. His three, amazing, adult sons are good men who share his genius and they all game together often. He's a problem-solver and a quick-witted communicator, keeping me on my intellectual toes. He loves with his whole heart and is a genuine, tender, kind and strong companion. Dave makes everything easier and I am a better person because he is in my life.
