Brooke & Benjamin
Wedding Party
Jackie
Maid of Honor
Jackie, aka “Jappy”, is the maid of honor and Brooke’s very best friend. Jackie has known Brooke for over 15 years and has been putting up with her crap all the while. They have shared many fun times together like being stranded without a paddle (or canoe) at the island on Fire Lake in their hometown, getting caught trying to skip class, walking the goat trails at point Mackenzie, road trippin’ to visit one another at college, to finding their soul mates and having children. She is honest, loyal, funny, and is always down for a good time. Some of her hobbies include hiking, skiing, camping, and making secret potions and voodoo dolls in her basement. Jokes!! Jackie is as real as she is beautiful, and Brooke couldn’t have asked for a better woman to stand by her side as her maid of honor.
Alyssa
Bridesmaid
Alyssa is the cats meow. She’s got class and sass and she is Brooke’s longest friend. They met in middle school and have been getting into trouble together ever since. While distance has always played a role in their relationship, it has never torn their friendship apart. Getting together for fancy drinks and talking about the past, present, and future is what they do best. Alyssa has the biggest heart and has inspired Brooke to follow her dreams and to never give up in many ways. She is a true treasure.
Hannah
Bridesmaid
Hannah, aka “Charter”, is one bad mama jama. She is a comedian, a therapist, a fighter, and a true friend. The “charter’s” have known each other since high school and have continued to be weird, goofy, supportive, and real with one another ever since. The trials and chapters in their lives are similar in many ways which is what helped them create a tight bond from the very beginning. Hannah is one in a million in that she can always find the good, whether it be in a person or in a situation. She is deep like the ocean and bright like the sun, and Brooke is honored to call her a friend.
Briannah
Bridesmaid
Briannah is Brooke’s older sister and has been by her side since day one as her teacher, counselor, partner in crime, and genuine soul sista. Bri is a bold, beautiful, and courageous woman who Brooke has admired her whole life. The battles they have faced and the victories they have won together as sisters, and separately as fierce and independent women, have molded their relationship to be something that others envy. It is unbreakable and has never been taken for granted. Brooke is truly blessed to share her days with her lifelong friend and big sister, Bri.
Ike Bombeck
Best Man
Ike and Ben are in a very long term relationship. It all started way back before time had really even existed. In a place where the glaciers were still frozen and mammoths walked earth. Their union was written in the fates of destiny. They have been friends/family for a lifetime to say the least. From freezing in spandex for cross country ski races in -20 degrees at a young age to getting jobs together at the university of Utah so they could call in sick together for POW days the friendship has endured the tests of time. Ike comes from a very large talented family of seven brothers, one sister, and his mom and dad. All are extended family of Bens.
Tyler Hindmarch
Groomsman
Comin in at 5’8” 165 lbs of pure kosher beef. He’s got a beard that will drop your panties with a twitch of the lip. it’s Young Nasty Hindmarch! Tyler and Benjamin’s love for the game of soccer sent them hurling into each other like burning comets. Once they collided it was a bond that only the sun could forge and made them inseparable. Tyler is a friend/ mentor/ brother to Benjamin. He is the most competitive of the bunch but always motivates Ben to bring his very best. Their relationship has taken them on long trips from pristine beaches to snow filled mountains. Tyler and his family also gave Ben his most valued four legged companion, Baloo. Little did Tyler know, he hooked Ben up with the best duck hunting dog around and first mate. He is forever grateful to tyler and his family.
Adam Huls
Groomsman
Plucked from a single hair off the beard of Zeus himself, Adam Huls or as legend has it A Huls ( pronounced A Holes) drank his own tears and sang odes of hardship that would make you cry and whimper for mother’s milk. A long time friend of Bens for 17 years. They’ve had the pleasure heading into battles and traveling to middle earth with each other (Nicaragua). He’s the kindest and easiest person to talk with about ANYTHING. He’s a great uncle to Odin and they wrestle and play with old action figures every chance they get. The Huls family has adopted Benjamin as an extra member and he is honored to have Adam and the rest of the Huls family as a branch of off his own.
Michael Rountree
Groomsman
The blonde beauty himself. Resist the urge to look into his eyes or else you might find yourself under a love spell and a member of his harem. Mike and Ben first crossed paths playing soccer against each other at a young age. It wasn’t till later our mutually good bud Tyler Hindmarch brought us together. Mike has joined Ben on many adventures from watching the World Cup and surfing in Brazil to fishing/hunting the pristine Alaskan wilderness. Michael Rountree is a special friend who craves for adventure as much as Ben. Mike and his wife Claire actually rushed to the court house last minute just so he could marry Brooke and Ben at one of their favorite bars. A true friend who will drop everything just to help you.
Hannah Corral
Officiant
Hannah Banana, Bean, Rams Hammer, Huck, Hanny, Funkle are just a few names she goes by but to Ben she is his little big sister. Hannah has been Bens biggest role model and mentor. A person who he could look up to (until he had to look down) his whole life. When Ben was done with high school she took him to a special place called man camp where Ben learned all things manly. Who better to teach him than the woMAN herself. She is the most musically talented and creative person he knows and has a personality that makes strangers think they are immediately best friends. She is Bens older sister who is officiating the marriage for Brooke and Ben.
