Arliss & Kirstin
Wedding Party
Jack Wadden
Best Man
Jack and I first met during our freshman year at college. He fell victim to one of my best practical jokes, and we’ve been friends ever since.
Chris Penfield
Groomsman
Chris and I also met freshman year at college. We have endured many adventures together over the years, and told stories over many beers.
Jason Byrne
Groomsman
I have known Jason since childhood, riding bikes thru yards and playing with cars in high school. Now that he has moved to Colorado, I’m hoping we can even get a ski day in for old times sake.
Rob Lang
Groomsman
Rob is another childhood friend, that I believe I actually met thru Jason Byrne. It was always fun hanging out late nights at the bakery in high school.
Jason Mueller
Groomsman
Jason was my saving grace when I moved back to Colorado. We met on a flight and talked beer the whole way. He helped me integrate with a great group of friends in Denver.
John Mogos
Groomsman
Mogos the entertainer... my brother from another mother. We have lots in common: good food, beer, scotch, wine, travels an food. John was one of the first people that Mueller introduced me to when I moved to Denver.
Jared Merrell
Groomsman
What can I say, he’s my brother!
Kathryn Gallien
Maid of Honor
What can I say! She’s my sister. My sister who has been there for me, always! After moving away from our home town of Winona, MN to different parts of the country, and sometimes the World, we have been lucky to meet up for fun adventures from time to time. Now this adventure! Thank you for accepting the duties of Maid of Honor! Your patience and planning/organizational skills are so helpful, and will go far.
Jen Corey
Bridesmaid
Jen and I met as children. We were 9 or 10 years old, and neighbors on a country road at the time. We rode bikes, and spent time with the other kids on our road, but our biggest shared love was horses. We rode horses together as much as possible, oiled saddles and planned for the shows we could take our horses to. We slept under the stars by the creek on my Dad’s farm, with horses. Once anyway. And woke up covered in mosquito bites. Our friendship continued to middle school, and through high school. I stood in her wedding in 1996!! Thank you for returning the favor all these years later, Jen! We don’t see each other near enough these days, but Jen has a huge heart and is the most loyal friend.
Jackie Frisch
Bridesmaid
So many adventures, where to start. I was so lucky to meet Jackie across the street when we moved to town. It just so happened we were the same age, so would go through most of middle school, and all of high school together. Jen (1st bridesmaid) was part of many of the many fun times we had through these years. Jackie’s parents had an amazing pontoon boat (the party barge) that we spent time on during the summer, on the Mississippi River. We also worked together, folding, packing and shipping T-shirts in a really hot warehouse. Oh fun times! We played soccer all through high school. Jackie was so fast!! When I decided to work a summer in Montana, Jackie joined me on the drive, and for the summer of work. So glad she will be there for my wedding!
Jenna Ash
Bridesmaid
Jenna became family to me during my years in Montana. We have been there for each other during many life challenges, and celebrations. Our adventures have included traveling to barrel races with our horses, or just riding in the great outdoors. Dogs are almost always present, and we’re both usually up for a good meal with a margarita! So glad you’ll be making the trip to CO, Jenna!
Mariea Wallace
Bridesmaid
Lucky to have met Mariea during my time in Montana. Whether it’s hiking, time on the river, or doing cartwheels on a beach in Mexico, we seem to enjoy each other’s company!
Dani Scott
Bridesmaid
When I came to Colorado in 2014, it was pure fate that Dani had recently moved to Colorado. She was able to offer me a room, and place to land. Our friendship originated 15 years prior in southern Arizona on a small guest ranch that we both worked at for the season. Though we only saw each other a few times during those 15 years, Dani always stayed in touch with cards, email, and eventually Facebook. We have have definitely reconnected now, and she’s stuck with me!
Donna Salemink
Bridesmaid
A random meeting at my place of work just 4 short years ago, created a friendship I see lasting a long time. Thanks for all the fun in Longmont, and for making it to Tucson, Donna! Where else could our adventures take us?!
