Rita & David
Wedding Party
Elaine Wirkus
Maid of Honor
Elaine is my best friend of many years! We met back in high school and have been attached ever since, she is not just my best friend but my sister! We have been through so much together and I couldn't imagine getting married without her by my side.
Trenton Clark
Best Man
Trent and I have been best friends for almost 25 years. We've been through a lot together. I could never have asked to have a better friend for all these years.
Parker Stegmaier
Bridesman
I met Parker at CSU, we bonded over many games of Humans Versus Zombies or HVZ for short. For those who don't know HVZ was a game we played around campus where we had two teams, Humans and Zombies, and shot Nerf guns at each other day and night! Our friendship only continued to grow as we talked and hung out without the stress of fleeing for our lives, ha ha. Parker has become a very talented Theater Technician and currently has a home in New York. We keep in touch and he has come back to visit on a few occasions. I am so excited to have you here with me, standing by my side Parker! You are my closest male friend and I can't imagine this day without you!
Bridget Hyde
Groomswoman
We met last year working for the parks department. We worked many shifts together and became fast friends. she is now one of my best friends. I'm excited for our friendship to grow over the years.
Jenny Selman
Bridesmaid
We met back at Waltclark middle school in Loveland, CO. I can remember the many occasions we got ourselves into trouble and mischief over boys, ha ha. Through many years, good and bad we remained friends and became family. Jenny is my oldest friend and I can't seem to get rid of her! Ha Ha! Just kidding, I lover her and her children (Serenity and Ciel) to death and couldn't imagine life without them.
Neil Dennhardt
Father of the Groom
My father has always been there when I needed him. He's a great man and mentor. I wouldn't be the man I am today without him.
Kayla Marie
Bridesmaid
Kayla is my adopted little sister, at one time she was just Jenny's annoying little sister who always ratted us out to their mother but over time I've grown to love her as my own sister :-) . I have watched Kayla grow up into the beautiful, confident, and take-no-crap from anyone young woman she is today. I am honored to have her by my side as I say, "I Do". I love you Kayla and I can't wait to see what you do next!
Paul Dennhardt
Groomsman
My brother is a fierce friend, brother, and father. He is a strong family man and is always there when I call.
Erin Lisette
Bridesmaid
I met Erin during our freshman year at CSU, we both lived in Braiden Hall and we were in the same Key Service Cluster. We became close over our years together at CSU and found a love of archery together! We shot our bows, went on hiking adventures, and spent many late nights together 'studying' in the lobby of Braiden hall but only when we weren't getting food at late night in the dinning hall, ha ha. Erin is an incredible young artist who never ceases to amaze me and I am so blessed to call her my friend!
Michael Maring
Groomsman
Michael and I met in high school. We hung out at lunch and football games. We have made a lot of great memories. He is one of my best friends, and is always there when I call.
Signe Holm Nielsen
Bridesmaid
I met Signe on my semester abroad in New Zealand in 2013. We lived in the same flat community and went on a road trip together on the Northern island of New Zealand. From Auckland to Wellington, we had lots of adventures and laughs together. Our favorite visit was when we went to middle earth and saw the Shire, the party tree and Bilbo Baggins Hobbit Hole! Ever since we have kept in touch and she has visited David and I here in Colorado multiple times, we can't wait to finally visit her in Denmark on our honeymoon!
Patrick Lafferty
Groomsman
We met about a year ago, he was DM for a DnD game I showed up to (unintentionally), and was so inviting and friendly. I made a lot of friends in the past year, and Patrick is just a great zany guy who loves to make others laugh.
