Wedding Party

Amy Fox

Matron of Honor

Amy is my best friend who I grew up with in Steamboat, we have known eachother since kindergarten. Amy lives in SF with Chris (Husband), is a Tech Badass, and has cute pup named Finn :) We spent most of our childhood and growing up being silly and laughing (she literally has made me pee my pants from laughing), making mixed CDs, teaching me how to drive stick-shift, and supporting each-other through all life experiences. She keeps me updated with the newest applications and provides weekly fashion advice. Amy and Chris are expecting their first little one a month before the wedding :) So excited!

Marissa LaRochelle

Bridesmaid

Marissa is one of my dearest friends from home, she lived up the street from me and we figure skated together. We actually did not become close friends until high-school during our science classes, we studied a lot together and became lifetime travel and food buddies. My first big international trip was to visit Marissa in Spain the starting point of our summer backpacking trip across Europe. She lives in Park City, with Mike (husband) and pup Tula, and just added the newest addition to the their family Baby Remy.

Lauren Prentiss

Bridesmaid

Lauren is one of my closest friends from college (University of Denver), she lives in Denver with her husband Kevin and adorable little ones Riv (4) and Beau (1). Lala and I met during our DU interviews and it was friendship at first sight, we were wearing matching sweaters (different colors). Amazingly we ended up in the same orientation group and have been friends ever since! Lala made sure I had fun during college and did not spend all my time in the library or studying. We both share a love for science, cats, and plants :) Lala is the type of friend that will drop everything and fly across the country with a six month old to be there for you, truly amazing.

Brenna Mclain

Bridesmaid

Brenna is my french friend from AZ. We met while studying abroad in Aix-en-Provence. We met in the library while I was planning a trip with our friend Sarah, and she asked if she could join, we were apprehensive due to her KEDS, but never judge someone based on their shoe style. Brenna and I became close friends who share a love for wine, France, travel, cooking, and eating. She lives in Denver with her husband Eric, and adorable little one Everett (1). Brenna has been there for all my adulthood ups and downs.

Lauren Mullins

Lauren recently moved back to ATL ( I miss her greatly) with her Husband Trent (who will also be our Wedding Officiant) and just had a little girl, Marly Harper :)

We reconnected and I convinced her to move in with me and Ru! We had a wonderful three years together at Club Ru!! We had many fun adventures together and she was my Tinder consultant, her advice was, "I needed to stop swipping on men with animals in their profiles".... Patrick had a fish and pig in his profile. She was the first to meet Patrick and watch our relationship progress. She is incredibly intelligent, kind, supportive, and Ru's 2nd mom.

Sam Kettlewell

Best Man

First time I remember meeting Sam was having a Keg at Wicke’s dad’s house the day after I got my wisdom teeth out. We did not get along when we first met back in our college years. After several years, Sam and I became friends after a breakup. Has taught me to be a better person through both scolding and example. Sam is one of the most emotiioanlly intelligent person I know. He is always fun to be around, drink with, grill with, and travel with. He loves listening to the Cubs on the radio. We really bonded when we went to South Africa on an eat, pray, love trip and sat on a balcony drinking Rose and talking about whatever. Sam actually said I loved Jaime on the balcony before I even knew it. Then we all traveled together to Morocco and Peru. Excited for our next trip.

Pat Wilkins

Best Man

We met at Polo Club at U of I. We had a blast as boys of summer for my Super Senior year (Summer last chance power drive). He has a hard exterior, but really is a true friend. He helped me during some hard times and he had me traveling to Banff to hike immediately, he also had me traveling up to Manistee fishing for Steelhead, my actual first foray into fishing. He included me in the "Salmen" Fishing Group. He joined us in Steamboat for some awesome skiing and really enjoyed Jaime's Dad Firework Show. He has a lifelong feud with my father Larry and we both excelled in a class at U of I literally named Big Rivers of the World.

Andy Kazmierczack

Groomsman

We also met at the Water Polo Club at U of I. We both are the 2nd child of 4 siblings. We got our ears pierced while wearing fake mustaches on spring break in PCC We have had many good road trips together, mostly in the Tahoe, especially the fateful one to Ann Arbor that Meg had to drive us. We used to love to stay up all night drinking to see the sunset. Was the first guy I wanted to talk to after I had my fateful meeting with my adviser after I was politely asked to leave U of I. Kaz was always the guy that I would call when I was lonely and missing the good life down in Champaign. He’s always lent an ear to me and has been like a brother. Once I got back into U of I, we drank White Russians all night, which almost led to me to be politely asked to leave U of I again.

Brenden Duhig

Groomsman

We also met at the Water Polo Club at U of I. He has always been a great friend and is always ready to hang whenever you call, never asks for anything in return from me, besides to listen to his music. He loves cats and hugs.

Matt Noonan

Groomsman

Noonan and I also met at the Water Polo Club at U of I. We were roommates a couple of times. I can always count on Noonan, we’ve always been there for each other since we met. We loved traveling to Panama City Beach and Beach. Noonan says, "I’m his boy and he loves me". He wears onesises and Jaime loves him too.

Kurt McFarlane

Groomsman

I met Kurt the first time when Meg brought him to my parents’ house to pick up my dad’s bike for a triathlon. What he didn’t know that I had broken that bike recently crashing it while riding home from either Keegan’s or Mary Scannell’s or somewhere… anyway the tire fell off while he was competing. - The second time we met was at a house party in Urbana and I head butted him, and he head butted me back and I immediately respected and liked him. -Kurt’s everything you could ask for in an older brother in law, he sets a great example for me, he’s someone I look up to and can ask for advice, he’s just there for me. - Kurt’s also a great husband to my sister Meg and father to Hugh and Sloan - We’ve had some great nights out on the town and also some hilarious golfing memories

Dave Johnson

Groomsman

-I’ve known Dave forever, he’s been around our family since Molly and him started dating in high school when he was “her friend Dave” -Dave’s everything you can ask for in a younger brother in law. He’s always got a joke to razz me about something, he’s always happy and in a good mood. He’s dealt with my moodiness and temper throughout the years of growing up more than any poor soul should. We also kiss each other on the cheek to say hello and goodbye because we went to Europe together…ask Dave or Kurt about some good Munich or Prague stories. -Dave’s the best person to have in a golf cart with my father… especially after he hits the ball into a tree and 20 yards behind him -Dave’s always great to Molly and to a brother that a very nice thing

Max Hamil

Groomsman

-Max is Jaime’s younger brother -I was nervous to meet him the first time, but he’s been nothing but inviting, friendly and fun since I met him -He’s taken me snowmobiling and while Jaime’s dad Bill has kept me on leash, Max let me open up the throttle a bit, only to come back and find me drinking a beer standing next to an upside down snowmobile -Max is a great fishmonger and also works in the meat biz -Max enjoys good food, good drinks, good stories, and good fireworks

Trent Mullins
