Courtney & Colin
Wedding Party
Erica Shepardson
Maid of Honor
Erica and Courtney have been best friends since second grade and Erica has served as Pam and Doug’s replacement daughter since Courtney moved to Colorado. Erica is the yin to Courtney’s yang and has even been to 6 Phish shows with Colin, despite allegedly "hating" Phish.
Rachael Sheaffer
Bridesmaid
Rachael and Courtney lived (read: struggled) together during and after grad school. Bonded through lack of sleep and poor living conditions, Rachael and Courtney are the best of friends. Rachael is the songbird of the group. Courtney enjoys going to all of Rachael's shows to "woo" and take countless videos from the front row.
Sophie Briend
Bridesmaid
Sophie loves dogs as much as Courtney and is know for throwing parties with more dog attendees than humans. Sophie is also a KC native and first met Courtney when they both moved to Denver for graduate school. Colin and Courtney first met at Sophie's birthday party!
Emma Goldman
Bridesmaid
Through the years Emma has been Courtney’s friend, roommate, co-parent to Benny, and math tutor. Now, they are taking on being each other’s bridesmaids in 2020!
Lauren Donahue
Bridesmaid
Courtney and Lauren’s friendship started during recess in elementary school when Courtney tried to teach Lauren how to do a cartwheel. Lauren still cannot do a cartwheel and Courtney never became a gymnastics coach.
Emily Resetarits
Bridesmaid
Emily is one of Courtney’s oldest friends and by far the most frequent visitor to Colorado. In high school you could always find Courtney riding shotgun in Emily's red Pathfinder blasting girl band music to/from school everyday. Emily is also expected to visit Panama as much as she visited CO.
Caleb Dickerson
Best Man
Caleb and Colin were raised by the same parents, but couldn't be more different. Caleb lives on a farm in rural Kansas and drinks Busch Light. Colin is moving to a city with 1.4 million people and enjoys craft beer.
Benny
Groomsman
The real MVP.
Jake Allen
Groomsman
Jake and Colin's friendship dates back to elementary school where they would terrorize teachers and classmates with plans that were fabricated late at night during sleepovers.
Brandon Monroe
Groomsman
Brandon and Colin have been the best of friends and teammates since Colin's Dad coached their peewee soccer team where Brandon spent more time body slamming other players than actually kicking the ball.
Matt Baker
Groomsman
Matt and Colin met during there freshman year at the University of Kansas, and have lived together in multiple cities. Most recently in Denver, Colorado where they essentially shared a one bedroom + den (Colin's "bedroom") with Courtney, Benny and Matt's now wife Bri.
Anthony Farr
Groomsman
Colin can always count on Anthony for an adventure. In the summer they go camping and see Phish shows, and in the winter they go skiing and see Phish shows.
