Dean & Kyle
Wedding Party
Kyle West
Groom
Kyle was born in Utah, but got to Colorado as soon as he could. Nerd through-and-through, he's managed to score a career playing with computers all day, which is something he'd do even if it wasn't his job. Favorite hobbies are still nerdy; video games, reading, theater and role-playing games with friends every other weekend. At risk of not getting out of his gaming chair for days on end, he makes an effort to do a daily physical activity, which usually involves a 45 minute workout in the basement gym. What first caught his eye about Dean was Dean's love of climbing mountains, and one of Dean & Kyle's first longer "dates" was a 2-day trek to the top of Pike's Peak, and is looking forward to many more shared adventures in the future!
Dean Hoisington
Groom
Dean was born in Colorado. A teacher at heart, he enjoys learning and then sharing his knowledge of topics. As a technical writer he is able to document and share IT knowledge with his company. In his free time Dean can often be found singing, listening to Barbershop music, and singing some more. He sings with the Sound of the Rockies Barbershop chorus. Dean also enjoys reading, hiking, and gardening - all activities he hopes to do more of after the wedding. Dean is excited to be marking the ten year anniversary of meeting Kyle, and celebrating a new beginning.
Lydia Medina
Officiant
Lydia has known Dean his entire life, and has joined us at multiple outings and met our friends. We are very happy that she has agreed to serve as our officiant at the wedding. When she's not visiting her family in Colorado or tending her garden in Arizona, she can often be found traveling the world and running towards active volcanic eruptions.
Ralph Crow
Best Man
Ralph has allowed Kyle and Dean to bask in his glorious presence for many years and has graciously allowed them to benefit from his beautiful persona. He knows they are honored to have him as their best best man, because, well, who wouldn’t be? He is Lord Voldemort.
Louis Sisneros
Best Man
Louis is thrilled to be playing this job-shared role in The Wedding Party (.2 BME). He is a retired English teacher, and has been known to have difficulty letting go. His home is in Evergreen, with a small menagerie of rescue animals: Lab-based mutts Cole and Maizie; and kitties Jasper and Choco, fluffily chonky and sleekly pantheric, respectively. Louis is a regular community-theatergoer, where he can often be found critiquing the actors' bios, loudly denouncing the passive voice and all the damn linking verbs.
Daniel Parks
Best Man
Daniel has been a long time friend of both Kyle and Dean, and as their most stylish best man is looking forward to bringing the party to town. When not engaged with his duties as Assistant Vice President and University Registrar, Daniel can be spotted adding salt to his food, losing his phone and encouraging adventurous decisions.
Jon Rajewich
Best Man
For years Jon has been a wonderful friend to Kyle and Dean. As their sexiest best man, Jon can often be found in the mountains - skiing, hiking, and camping. During the work week Jon manages the SAP implementation for Arapahoe County. Jon is the music lover of the group, and enjoys attending concerts of all kinds with Kyle and Dean.
Brian Huddy
Best Man
Brian has known Kyle and Dean from the beginning, and is honored to join Kyle and Dean as their most sociable best man. Brian works hard and plays hard - he manages parts operations at work, but then enjoys relaxing at Grand Lake or Puerto Vallerta when on vacation. Brian lives with his husband Mustafa and their dog Sophia.
