Brandi & Samuel
Wedding Party
Olivia Marcellino
Matron of Honor
I have known Olivia since middle school! In 8th grade we would spend the lunch hour hitting tennis balls against our math teacher's ball machine. We played on the High School tennis team & went to summer tennis camps & Bible studies together. Olivia has been my longest friend! She is an amazing sister-in-Christ and we have been there for each other through many seasons and life changes!
Marc Wilkison
Best Man
Marc is one of my best friends that I met while living in Helena, MT. We've gone on plenty of hiking and mountain biking adventures over the years. We grew close over our relationship with God and attended a few bible study groups together. Lately we’ve both been tackling remodeling and he has been sharing his discoveries with me as he is always one step in front of me!
Hailey Larsen
Bridesmaid
Hailey and I met in undergrad at Minnesota State, Mankato. We played college tennis together, and were doubles partners and roommates. Our college days were filled with ice cream dates, country music concerts, playing cards, and boating/water skiing on the lake at her family's cabin! Hailey has always been a sister to me; she is my voice of reason and always stands up for me!
Ethan Brown
Groomsman
I met Ethan and his wife Carrie shortly after I moved to Helena. They were leading a young adult small group that I attended. We started spending time together outside of the group and quickly became very close friends. I was very sad when they moved, but will always cherish the memories of when we lived in the same town. One of my greatest feats with Ethan was when we both tackled a six pack and a pound (from Taco John’s) while Carrie was out of town one evening! Had a little bit of a stomach ache that night!
Caryn Rasmussen
Bridesmaid
Caryn and I met in Salt Lake City and went to Physical Therapy school together. I randomly reached out to her on our class page to see if she wanted to room together because in her picture she was wearing a "Roger Federer" hat, so I figured she must be a tennis player! Come to find out she was a big tennis player and fan, and we hit it off right away! Without Caryn, I would not have kept my sanity through a very intensive graduate program. Caryn and I have the same sense of humor, and often laugh so hard until our abs hurt!
Chris Faubion
Groomsman
Chris is one of my many cousins from mom's side of the family. Chris and I spent a few fishing trips as kids sharing the front seat so we wouldn’t get car sick. Not sure how much this helped as we couldn’t even see over the dash! We sure liked to feed the fish once we got there! ;) We played a lot of hide and seek, house, and ghost in the graveyard. Lots of shenanigans to be had!
Danielle Davis
Bridesmaid
Danielle and I met in a Bible study shortly after I moved to Salt Lake City. We share a passion for the outdoors and endurance sports. Danielle and I have trained for marathons, summited peaks, backpacked, and rock climbed together. We have also served on mission trips together. The Lord seems to place us in similar situations/circumstances, and we have been able to encourage one another through them!
Brady Faubion
Groomsman
Brady is also my cousin from mom's side of the family. He and Chris are brothers. As kids, Brady would often times take on Chris and I in basketball. These battles would sometimes get a little rough leading to a chipped tooth in one of them! We had many adventures together including skiing, golf, and basketball.
Janet Yu
Bridesmaid
Janet is my sister-in-law (Chase's wife). I look forward to when Janet shares her sophisticated palate and "foodie" knowledge with me when I am in Chicago. We enjoy taking trips, playing games, and playing pickleball together!
Josh Matteson
Groomsman
Josh is my brother-in-law (Jessica's husband). Josh and I have been able to grow closer since I have moved to Billings. We have helped each other with home projects and have had a few hunting trips where we took out geese in northern Montana! Jessica, Josh, and I have had lots of dinner and hangout sessions before I met Brandi. He has been a great addition to the family!
Jessica Matteson
Bridesmaid
Jessica is Sam's sister. I have gotten to know Jessica over the past year during my visits to Billings. We have shared many laughs and stories over dinner, games, and rhubarb crisp! I look forward to spending more time with her and Josh in the years to come!
Chase Dohmen
Groomsman
Chase is Brandi's brother. We have had fun trips visiting him in Chicago! I look forward to getting to know him more and golfing together!
