Jes

Bride

Bug

Groom

Asia Snyder

High school health teacher, intuition truster, crafter of all the things. Jes's best friend of 18 years. But don't tell Asia that, because she thinks they're still 25.

Jase Stroope

Best Man

9 year old sports fanatic, born to be a basketball star, human encyclopedia, Twenty One Pilots turned up loud, artist in the making. Jase is the most kind, loving, sociable, funny kid. I'm so blessed to have him as my son and my best friend. He loves his "JesMom". He truly is the best man!

Mimi Akhand

Bridesmaid

Family therapist extraordinaire, lover of all things with sugar, the most joyful of people. Mimi has been my close friend since our Marriage and Family Therapy grad school days. For the right price, she might be willing to provide some family therapy sessions during the reception...

Jason "Fly" Stroope

Groomsman

Jack of trades, outdoors man, loving husband, amazing son/brother/uncle, Jase's favorite, snowboarder, jokester, friend... Fly has been much more than just a brother to Bug. They have shared many adventures and life memories together. Every room becomes a bit brighter when Fly walks into it.

Heather Colebrook

Mother of Jes's three favorite little humans, nurse to all, the most patient of people. Heather has been Jes's sister (in-law) since 2012. We should all hope she brings her killer dance moves...

Shane Stradling

Groomsman

Geologist, always smiling, wonderful father and husband, fellow New Mexican, and good time haver... Shane met Bug in the winter of '99 at the employee housing units in Steamboat Springs, CO. Their weekly snowboard sessions turned into a solid friendship. They moved to Durango, CO together as roommates and have stayed close ever since. Shane is one of the most trust worthy and dependable friends on the planet.

Jenn Brierton

Bridesmaid-In-Spirit

Brave middle school teacher, reader of all the books, wearer of all the scarves. Jenn and Jes met in 2007 while working at Uno's Chicago Grill together and were both lucky to escape to bigger and better things, despite the English degrees. Jenn recently brought another little human into the world and may or may not make it to the wedding - but if not, she'll be there in bridesmaid spirit!

Joabe Lourenco

Groomsman

Shredaholic, hard working, Brazilian by way of Cape Cod, husband, wide eyed, amazed and amazing friend.

Flower Girl

Lover of bugs (insects and uncles), adorable oddball, always ready to cuddle, dreamer of friendly monsters. Rose will provide us with a lifetime of laughs as she masterminds all the shenanigans Emmett gets in trouble for.

Lanie Vazquez

Princess, perfect cuddler, no nonsense taker, handful... Lanie is on a level of her own. If you don't see how bright her future is, she will tell you. She has her papa wrapped around her finger and most likely will have the world doing the same. Her Uncle Bug is her favorite!
