Wedding Party

Sam Weber

Maid of Honor

Sam and Jacqui became friends on Whiteface chairlifts and while procrastinating various English assignments on the third floor of the SLU student center in their spring 2013 semester of college. After bonding over a truly godawful film during their first of many Bad Movie Mondays at the theater in downtown Canton (thank you “Oz: The Great and Powerful”), they became best buds at the Green House, through a semester-long transcontinental email chain, many stupid voices, and their quest for the best mediocre cup of coffee on the North Country Diner Tour. After college, Sam peer pressured Jac into moving to Montana so they could explore another part of the country together. She feels immensely grateful for Jacqui’s friendship and is stoked to be a part of her life with Bryce, Todd, and Panini.

Michael Neudorfer

Best Man

Mike met Bryce in 2010 when they were both working at Little Fresco. Eventually they became roommates and then the unstoppable Chef/Manager duo at New Fresco. Their unique living and working situation meant they got to know each other pretty well. Many a long night was spent binge watching Stargate SG-1 and plotting world domination. Other memorable events happened during that time too, and Mike looks forward to more snowmobiling, watching the Seahawks get annihilated, and complaining about taxes. Even though after years and years their lives have taken them in different directions, and there are no new episodes of Stargate, the world domination continues, and Mike is thrilled to still have a best friend, and to be a best man.

Kaycee Gilbert

Bridesmaid

K. and J. became friends one afternoon sitting on a log in an Adirondack lake in 2012. Since then, they’ve attended college parties, skied the east and west, and eaten an untold number of steaks. Their friendship blossomed when they both arrived in Bozeman in 2016 and shared a bedroom for 8 months while J. tried her hand at being a broke line cook (working for the amazing Chef Bryce) and K. at being a broke ski bum. This was a formative time as each painfully transitioned from college student to working adult, scrambling to keep up with multiple jobs and determinedly enjoying the heck out of their epic new home. The last few years have seen them on adventures, like hiking over the Beartooth Mtns and into the Grand Canyon but also snuggling with the dogs and eating Jacqui’s amazing cooking.

Justin Colt

Groomsman

Justin met Bryce in Nov. 2018 on Cape Cod. Justin was protective and skeptical at first, but that quickly went out the window. One of the first things they did together was move heavy armchairs in the middle of the night (Mom did not delay putting them to work). Justin immediately appreciated Bryce’s down to earth presence and kind spirit, plus his amazing cooking. They found a long list of shared interests: business, poker, old cars, the outdoors, and love of Jacqui. They’ve had adventures across MT, including skiing at 5 different mountains and snowmobiling across Yellowstone in a blizzard with a treasure hunter. They’ve enjoyed craft beer, Gold Rush, oystering, and credit card roulette. Justin and Bryce have built a lifelong friendship, and Justin will be proud to call him his brother.

Hannah Drummond

Bridesmaid

Jacqui and Hannah met during their first year of college, so they were told, but it wasn’t until the following year when they were assigned to be yurt-mates during the Adirondack Semester that they finally could put a face to each other’s names. The things that brought them closer were abundant: canoe excursions, falling asleep to chapters from Native American Animal Stories (or better, Story’s stories), a mutual distaste for fanfare, love for coffee, and most notably, their first heart to heart on the Yellow Trail one rainy evening. The next five semesters of being roommates were wild, but ended with the guarantee of a lifelong friendship. Most recently, these two catch up when Jacqui gives Hannah a prime place to land on road trips, and fills her with delicious food and beautiful views.

Mark Lawrie

Groomsman

Bryce and Mark became friends four years ago after a few beers at Pub 317 and some excellent conversation. They had very similar interests and instantly made a connection. A short time later, Bryce and Jacqui started their journey together. Jacqui was already good friends with Heather, Mark's girlfriend. The four of them shared adventures together including hiking, poker nights, skiing, haunted hay mazes and amazing dinners. Through the years Mark and Heather watched their friends love grow. From Bryce and Jacqui's new home together, the addition of Panini, and new professions, we are so excited to share this new beginning with you both!

Kelsey Hatch

Bridesmaid

Kelsey and Jacqui met as wee freshmen on a bus heading home to Massachusetts for a school break. Their friendship blossomed while living in Canton, NY a few summers later, where they befriended a local bartender with their heroic attendance record at the Hoot and discovered their shared love for early 2000s emo hits. As English majors, little did they know at the time that their classes would prime them for punchy menu writing years later. Now as mobile food business gals in different timezones, they feed each other’s culinary curiosities for all things fermented and baked while making fetch happen as dog moms.

David Andreani

Groomsman

David and Bryce first met at Pub 317 in Bozeman. David was working at La Chatelaine Chocolate and Bryce at Café Fresco, both within a block of the bar. They met for lunch one day and started to share ideas and opinions, which turned into a strong friendship and an incredible snowmobiling trip in Yellowstone. David and Jacqui found they had a shared passion for the Red Sox, which Bryce eventually formed too. Bryce is genuine, friendly, and driven and David is happy that Bryce chose to start this huge life step with Jacqui. David believes they lift each other up and looks forward to seeing them start this adventure together. He is honored to to stand alongside Bryce and proud to cheer for this beautiful and undeniable union. David also hopes to see another Red Sox World Series win together!

Isabel Watts

Bridesmaid

Jacqui and Isabel met as teens in the Maine woods. One fortuitous day they realized that they were destined for shared adventures and undertook a bike ride to Shaw’s supermarket. Since then, they have devised many domestic and international journeys in pursuit of new experiences. Throughout, Jacqui was a beacon of curiosity through every interaction, an ideal companion in exploring the world. Jacqui and Isabel learned that in January, Halifax is cold. In Iceland, they lived on oatmeal and instant mashed potatoes for weeks to afford one epic fish feast. They are often mistaken for sisters, which Isabel loves. Meeting Bryce, Isabel immediately identified a connection that made her suspect he would be with Jacqui for life. She is thrilled to to eat food prepared by the couple in perpetuity.

Charles Hulet

Groomsman

Panini Colt-Hulet

Flower Girl

Panini couldn't be more excited to serve in the role of Flower Girl at Jacqui & Bryce's wedding! She has known the happy couple since April 2021, but has really made her mark in that brief time. Like...with her teeth. She loves to go on road trips with them, to go on long walks and hikes, and to wiggle around and make nests in their stuff, as well as in Jacqui's hair and Bryce's beard. She highly recommends that you don't try to get in between her and Jacqui or Bryce...or else.

Todd Colt

Ring Bearer

Todd and Bryce became the main men in Jacqui's lives on the exact same day in January 2018. Since then he has been their little companion on all sorts of adventures far and wide, over the majority of the United States and Canadian provinces. Todd loves to do anything and everything that Jacqui & Bryce do, from 15 mile skis to harvesting (and eating) oysters on the Cape to watching the Red Sox to enjoying local IPAs, but no matter what he does, he would prefer to do it from his favorite place--Bryce's lap. He is thrilled to be a ring bearer, and he is sorry in advance if he eats the rings.

Afton Olff

Flower Girl

Afton (6) is a born leader. She makes friends with everyone easily. She's currently excelling in swimming and says she wants to be an Olympic swimmer, gymnast, and soccer player. She's very girly but loves to play in the dirt making potions and fairy houses. She also wants to be a sweets chef when she grows up. She is Bryce's neice, and can't wait to walk down the aisle with Panini!

Otto Olff

Ring Bearer

Otto (4) is quiet but busy. He loves construction vehicles, fire trucks, and building his toys. He is a kind friend and makes sure everyone is included. He wants to be a big rig operator, fireman, and police officer when he grows up. He is the little brother to Afton and Bryce's nephew. He is very excited to be the ring bearer with Todd!
