Wedding Party
Hailey King
Maid of Honor
Hailey is the bride's sister and best friend. She currently lives in Denver, CO with her dachshund Mr. Peanut Butter. Hailey is outrageously creative and is also one of the kindest people you'll ever meet. She is a craft beer aficionado and will gladly provide recommendations to anyone looking to explore Colorado's brewery scene.
Cornellius Tobias
Best Man
Neil & Grant have been friends since freshman year at UC, and reconnected shortly after both happened to move to Colorado. Neil's infectious laugh and his uncanny ability to find (or make) humor in nearly any situation is just one of many qualities that make him a great friend. You should not, however, rely on him for directions, as he is most famous for getting lost while wearing a T-shirt proclaiming "I know where I'm going" on a tiny island in the Galapagos.
Carmen Van Wert
Bridesmaid
Carmen and Aspen have been best friends since their teacher introduced them in 1st grade (thanks, Mrs. Young!). Carmen lives with her husband Michael and their dog Sadie in Beacon, NY. She is an extremely talented creator and can accomplish anything she puts her mind to. Carmen is the one to go to if you want to hear embarrassing stories about Aspen in high school.
Dave Rowe
Groomsman
Dave and Grant have known each other since freshman year at Ursinus, when they met as members of the on-campus EMS group (Dave would later go on to sleep through the majority of officer meetings). Together they nearly failed chemistry multiples times, yet somehow collected their diplomas before moving out west. Since then, Dave has been Grant's ski coach (explaining the broken bones), mouse hunting partner, and dedicated bike wipeout photographer.
Juliet Pearce
Bridesmaid
Juliet is simply one of the most amazing humans, and Aspen's friend of nearly a decade. She currently lives in Fort Collins, CO with her husband Wyatt and their dog Pilot. If you're visiting Fort Collins during your stay, she can recommend the best places to grab a cocktail.
John Deas
Groomsman
John is Grant's former coworker, climbing companion, and fly fishing protege. When he's not busy retrieving his fly from nearby trees or failing to land a fish, he can be found hiking, biking, climbing, and generally enjoying the wilderness with his wife Ericca and their dog, Lhotse.
Neal Cooper
Groomsman
Grant's oldest brother, Neal is directly responsible for Grant's mediocre skills at driving a manual transmission. He recently coated Grant at his White Coat ceremony in Arkansas, and most recently appears to have adopted a fuzzy caterpillar. His wife, Alex, sent this picture. I really didn't have any choice Neal, my hands were tied.
Linda Ortiz
Bridesmaid
Linda and Aspen met in their research lab at UNC and were roommates throughout grad school. She currently lives in Denver, CO with her dog, Gus. Linda is wicked smart and helped Aspen figure out research problems that seemed insurmountable at the time.
Brian Cooper
Groomsman
Grant's other older brother, Brian also enjoys hunting, fishing, and the outdoors. Unlike Grant, however, Brian actually has time to engage in those pursuits. He possesses an extensive knowledge of plants and animals, and will probably identify them for you if you ask. Or even if you don't.
Luke Brandt
Chief Usher and Grand Poobah
Luke is one of Grant's closest and most reliable friends, and is one of the most friendly and outgoing people you will ever meet. He will be helping to keep the day flowing smoothly and acting as our "Front of House", and there is no one we'd trust more to ensure sure everyone is having the best possible time!
