Maid of Honor
While we are cousins by blood, we are sisters and best friends by choice. Kelly and I have been besties since I was born. We were so lucky to grow up down the street from each other for many years. From playing dress up in our parents' basements to spending weekends together on the east coast, Kelly has been my number 1 fan since I can remember. I am so honored to call her my big sister and now, Maid of Honor!
Best Man
Though many of you may know him as a Wyoming rancher I first met Robert on the baseball field in elementary school with flowing curling hair and someone who could not go without showering for 12hrs. Bros for life through all the ups and downs. He has always been by my side and I'm so lucky to have him next to me on my big day. First person to find out who JAN was in my phone and first person I called to ask if I should accept a challenge from Jeanette to visit her in DC with an 8 hours notice.

#Bateman&Bateman. Michael is my older brother and biggest role model in life. My brother and I have a much more special connection then just a sibling bond. From attending graduate school together at Arizona State to living together in New York for months at a time, we have so many important and core memories together as both siblings and friends. I can't imaging him not by my side on this day supporting Travis and me as we start this next chapter.

Big brother that has always been there for me no matter how much he makes fun of me. Someone who wants to live the dream and retire with dreads and live on a beach (his wife will never let him but we can always try). Always pushes me to be better and makes me a better man. Could not ask for a better brother and so happy to have him by my side through my big day.

I met Dakin during an internship going into our senior year of college. We were "randomly" selected as roommates along with our third roomie (see Chrissy's bio). Dakin and I are total opposites. She is not a sports fan, but when she showed up at my adult league hockey game in support of me versus all of the boys, I knew we were going to be gal pals for life. Sometimes the most important people come into your life in the most unexpected ways and I am so grateful she will be by my side on my big day.
Groomsman
Middle brother that has always been down to do all the things with his little brother. Showed me a lot of good things and some of the party tricks that would pay off in college later on (sorry Mom and Dad). Have always been close and we lived together during our golden years as young adults. Will always be down for a game of 3 man hockey on PS4. When he's not a picking on me one of the funniest guys I know and happy to have him next to me.
Bridesmaid
Lauren and I became friends tearing it up on the basketball court and soccer field in high school. She has been one of my front row friends since then and has supported me through all of my adventures both near and far from Colorado. She has been there since the VERY beginning of Travis and my relationship and we can thank her for helping introduce us! I was honored to stand by Lauren's side on her wedding day and I am very thankful to have her now here for mine.

CARL! It's with a C because he is the captain of most of my good nights out. We met in high school playing sports and never looked back. The true brew man that will grab a beer with you no matter what he is doing. Nicest big guy you will met and always want him on your side. Only seen him mad once and the poor kid on the other team never had a chance. Triple F 10 will live in our hearts (CJAM camping spot) and lets make this wedding as good as those rides to CJAM.

Does everyone remember the Mini Masters? Meet McKenzie - my partner in crime. We have known each other since we were 13 spending our weekends at the rink, chasing our collegiate hockey dreams. By some stroke of friendship luck, after college we both ended up moving to Washington, D.C. at the exact same time to pursue our careers. We signed a lease for apartment #202 and several years later, McKenzie and I had lived through so many of our own episodes of "Friends" in our wonderful D.C. apartment. Now, she is a huge part of "the one where they get married!"

Henry is the little brother that I always wanted. Has always been in my life and as Robert and I grew closer we always had Henry with us. No one would of thought that we would grow as close as we have. We are always hanging out and making memories because I can always call him up to do anything with a little nudge. He is an avid concert goer that took me to my first EDM Red Rocks concert. K-Y-G-O.

Chrissy is also a Penn Stater (WE ARE). That's really the reason we ended up as roommates during an internship one summer in Denver along with Dakin. After our internship, Chrissy and I spent senior year together enjoying Penn State football games and sharing pitchers at the Gaff (favorite Penn State bar) leaving all of my college teammates wondering how I made such a good friend outside of the athletics world. Chrissy and I now share many special memories from our senior year at Penn State, to climbing La Plata, UTVing in Moab, and everything in between.
Groomsman
Who knew working at a liquor store would end up with a life long friend. Adam and I worked together in college and it took one night out to figure out this was going to be a great friendship (from what we remember at least). Probably the biggest sports guy I know. Have always loved the AVS and Broncos, just can not watch the Avalanche together, only celebrate Stanley Cups together. Could not ask for a better friend and hope we see many more championships together.
Bridesmaid
Sarah and I met at Penn State where we were teammates on the Division 1 women’s ice hockey team. We shared a special friendship since the day we met and ended up as roommates our junior and senior year. She has always pushed me to be a better person, athlete, and friend. Sarah and I concluded our senior year at Penn State with an epic road trip driving my car from Happy Valley back to Colorado with no map, no set plans, and no hotel reservations. We somehow made it home and our friendship continues to thrive just as we did on this trip!

Schwindt NASTY, Midnight Mike has been in my life as far back as preschool and will be there far into the future. The quiet kid that ran straight into the loud kid that would never shut up (Travis). He's always been the other leg of our group taking friends to CJam and Virginia Beach. Will challenge anyone at this wedding in cornhole as we are the 2 time annual cornhole classic winners (Matt and Gui de-crowned us). Big guy with an even bigger heart. Glad to have been his best man and have him next to me in my wedding.
Jr. Bridesmaid
Kaitlyn (Kate) is Travis's oldest niece and Brandon's daughter. She is an expert baker, pumpkin carver, wicked smart, athletic, the list could go on! She is the oldest grandchild in the Belfiore family which comes now with great responsibility and fun of being in our bridal party. We are so excited she will get to be a part of our special day!
