Casey & Amelia
Wedding Party
Maddie Ellis
Maid of Honor
"Maddie & I met freshman year, living in the same dorm at Gonzaga in 2009. We lived only several doors away from each other, but quickly found best friends in one another. You might often find us spontaneously snuggling, randomly dancing, and bird calling one another. If not, you can find me affectionately calling her every pet name under the sun besides her actual name" -A
Cory Ames
Co-Best Man
"Cory and I met on June 10th, 1994. Since then, he's always been my brother. Cory and I have had similar interests over the years which has kept us close together and sometimes working on projects together. It's varied from both training for soccer, living in Seattle in the same room, or helping each other build our businesses." - C
Heather Smith
Bridesmaid
"It all started way back to living 1 block away from one another in the same Boise neighborhood. Heather & I met as tiny humans back in first grade ( I will forever have her parents' house phone number memorized from our frequent late night phone calls ). Together we've eaten a record number of Annie's boxed Mac & Cheese, I'm sure of it. We are in every way possible childhood besties, but to me Heather is very much the sister I never had." -A
Collin Ames
Co-Best Man
"Collin was one of the first people to welcome me into the world. I don't really remember, but apparently it was very disappointing for him as I couldn't do very much! Fortunately I become more interesting to him over the years and we have been able to grow a great friendship together. Collin has always been a supportive older brother to me, even letting me live on his living room floor while beginning my post college life in Seattle" - C
Summer Wilkinson
Bridesmaid
"Summer and I met freshman year at Gonzaga in the same freshman dorm in 2009 as next door neighbors. Aside from studying abroad in Florence together, living as apartment-mates with one another, and both studying Math at GU, I like to consider Summer my personal baking & chef & fellow chocolate lover (ask her about her chocolate zucchini brownies) and always adventure buddy" -A
James Matern
Groomsman
"James and I grew up playing soccer together starting around 7th grade. We both were recruited to Gonzaga to play together, which put James in the unfortunate position of becoming my roommate for 2 years! James has always been a good buddy and has been there since the literal beginning of me and Amelia's relationship!" - C
Laura Bullard (Greenwood)
Bridesmaid
"Laura and I met way way back at the very mature age of 5. Meeting one another in the same ballet class, we giggled our way to an amazing friendship all throughout childhood, high school, and through not so far away colleges. Countless weekends together in her childhood basement, topless Jeep, and hot tub - Laura and I would sometimes verge on 72 straight hours spent together. Today, we both live in Boise and could very well spend 72 straight hours together.. if we really wanted" - A
Colin Flynn
Groomsman
"Colin was a year older than me on the Gonzaga Soccer Team and was always a friend while we attended GU together. It wasn't really until I ran into Colin on a ferry living in Seattle where we started becoming closer friends and eventually going on a lot of adventures together. Colin is always good for getting you out into nature, even if he doesn't check the weather and it's pouring rain" - C
Alysha Storud
Bridesmaid
Alysha ALSO lived in the same hallway & dorm as I did, thus we also met freshman year in 2009. We've spent countless weekends together couch cuddling, brunching, and drinking wine over a movie we've both seen for the 100th time. Luckily we got to spend one year together as Seattleites in 2017 - but now, we frequently travel to meet one another to visit a bucket list National Park, or to just sit on that couch with a glass of wine, watching that movie for the 101st time" -A
Alex Horner
Groomsman
"Alex and I go way back to early elementry school. We grew up just a fence jump away from each other. Alex was a best friend from elementry school through to adulthood. Anyone who knows Alex knows that he is always good for a laugh and can make anyone liven up!" - C
Will Tiedemann
Groomsman
"For those who don't know, Will is Amelia's twin brother! I got to know Will better when he transferred to Gonzaga our Junior year. With me and Amelia dating, Will and I have become good friends over the years and have gotten to know each other even better since Amelia and I have moved to Boise! Will has always been very welcoming to me and I'm excited to be living near him now in the City of Trees." - C "My womb-mate and one of my very best friends! Will and I have been extremely close from the literal start of our lives. Now that Casey and I live back in my hometown of Boise, it's been awesome to be spending time with Will weekly. Love my twin brother and SO excited to have him standing with us on our wedding day." -A
Matt Tiedemann
Officiant
Matt is Amelia's older brother. Matt & Amelia created some lasting memories together - making TCBY runs just 5 minutes before close, living and sharing a bed in an RV in New Zealand together for 2 months, becoming Seattle roommates, and everything in-between. Matt is one of Amelia's very best friends and quickly became a close friend to Casey. The three of us lived together in Seattle for 2 years - sharing a deep passion for 'bubbly water', Planet Earth binges, and Thai-Takeout. Back when we got engaged it didn’t take long to determine who would be the very best person to marry us. Matt knows us so incredibly well - together sharing so many great times together and also our witness to some of out highest highs and some of our lower lows. We're excited for Matt to kick-off our big day!
