Mother of the Bride
I'm Falicia mother of the bride married to Eric. We have three beautiful children Aurora, Nels and Talina. We have shared many, great adventures together. I am over the mountain happy that Ethan will now be a part of them. Ethan is the perfect co-pilot for Aurora! Some of my favorite recent memories are the ones involving our Jeeps. Aurora and I both have Jeeps. Auroras jeeps name is moonshine and mine is whiskey. Eric is always telling Aurora Go for it, if you get stuck we will pull you out! Aurora then gets an evil grin and we're pulling her out! On one of our adventure about a year ago involved a handsome young man whom I recently met. This adventure took us to a yellow school bus, cave exploring. Soon that man will be my son In law! I can't wait for all the new adventures together!

I'm Joy; Ethan is my youngest child. He has always been one to ask a million questions and absorb as much information as he could on everything out there. I have been able to spend time with this happy couple and find both of them to be very loving and compatible with each other. While I’m not with Ethan’s dad anymore I was excited to be able to gift the engagement ring to the happy couple. I could not be more proud of the young man Ethan had become. I have been in western North Dakota for 7 years now and love my job helping patients, who don’t have health insurance, with their hospital bills.

I'm Eric, Auroras Dad. I'm married to Falicia. Nels and Talina are my other kids. Aurora is my partner in crime, my sidekick. From fishing to hunting to blowing up bowling balls. My favorite was sneaking up forest service with Aurora on my dirt bike to watch the forest fire. You have a new partner in crime, Don't get caught! You'll always be my side kick! Don't forget that!

Father of the Groom
I'm Ryan, Ethan's dad. We live in Wisconsin and I have been a self employed tile installer for 25+years, an avid outdoorsmen and recently picked up golf. My favorite memories with Ethan were canoeing down the Namekogen, trips out west skiing and hiking. I especially enjoyed watching Ethan run cross country, track and compete in various robotics competitions. Funniest story. As I sat on the couch one evening I felt E breathing over my head. I asked what the hell he was doing and he asked why I had a W shape on my head. He was referring to my receding hairline. After that, I shaved my head!

Ring Bearer
I'm Mandy, Ethan's younger sister. In 2007 I was adopted from Guatemala. I'm 14, and will be a sophomore next year. I love to downhill ski, and play high school fast-pitch softball as well as golf. My favorite memories are when we would go to the beach and Ethan would try to dig as deep as a hole as he could. We also would bury each other in the sand.
step mom of the groom
Mother of the Groom
I am Ethan's step-mom, Mo; his father and I have raised him since 2008. I am the youngest of 7, I was born in upstate New York and moved to Minnesota when I was 8. I have been a hairstylist for 25+years. I enjoy the outdoors as much as I can. One of my favorite memories is when I was going to meet the kids for the 1st time and Ethan waited for me to arrive. As I parked my car he ran out to the car to open the door for me. He was such a gentleman at age 10. Another story that puts a huge smile on my face is when we were having dinner (very early into our dating) and I made a mention that I was a little overweight and Ethan, very quickly, comes back with "well, that just means there's more to love" Ethan has always been a kind and polite boy and now a man. His dad and he are 2 peas in a pod.
Ride or Die
Maid of Honor
I'm Katy, Aurora's best friend turned sister. I moved to Bozeman in 2015 for school and met Aurora only a week later after orientation. After a night showing me around Bozeman and teaching me how to burp, we've been bestfriends ever since. Through our adventures together we've gotten 5' of air on a sled, tire marks, knee and back injuries, close and personal with cacti, sunburns, and have laughed so much our stomach's hurt and our throats turned hoarse. After moving away from a small town ranch life to discover what I wanted to make of my life I couldn't have asked for a better sister then Aurora to help me find it.

Best Sister Ever
Bridesmaid
Talina is Aurora's sister. Talina is married to Jared Simmons. They live in Manhattan Kansas. Talinas favorite memories of Aurora is one that involves snowshoeing. Mom tripped on her snowshoes and face-planted, stiff as a board, into the snow. Aurora yelled, "I believe I can fly!" as Mom was going down. Aurora got such a big kick out of it that no one stopped laughing the rest of the day. Aurora loves to tell that story and tells it to everyone
Best Cousin Ever
Groomsman
My name is James Baillargeon, and I am Ethan’s favorite cousin. Ethan and I grew up together putting together train sets, building forts, and competing against each other in sports. Ethan and I’s relationship is one that stands the test of time. Ethan and I can go extended periods of time without talking and pick right back up without missing a beat. I am from Amery, Wisconsin, but currently go to school out in New York. I love anything Wisconsin sports related and hold my Wisconsin roots near, and dear, to my heart. My favorite memory with Ethan is one that puts me under some scrutiny. See FAQ for story Ethan would give the shirt off his back for anyone and that is one of the many values that make Ethan the great man he is.

Newest Best Friend

Yo, this is LB Nugbone AKA Brian Blades, I am good friends with both Ethan and Aurora. I am originally from Soldotna, Alaska. I Moved to Bozeman for family; I got a job at William where I met Aurora and started a friendship. My favorite memories are hanging out playing games; but my all time favorite memory would have to be when we went to see the MOD Monster trucks! It was a blast! We got rained on and hailed on, and took a ride on a Monster Truck! What I love most about this couple is their cooking skills and how laid back they are. They always have everyone smiling. If you leave their house hungry you did not eat enough. This couple definitely complements each other very well. I wish them the best of luck and a very happy future.
