Hannah Kitchenhoff
Maid of Honor
Its okay to do a double take! This is my identical twin Hannah who has been my best friend from literally the beginning. She's my number one girl! We work, play and live our lives together.
Meagan Kitchenhoff
Bridesmaid
This is Meagan. She is Hannah and my sister who is a year older than us. Bless this girl because she has been wrangling Hannah and I since we were little. Meagan is the perfect big sister, she is trustworthy, loves fiercely and isn't afraid to lay down the law.
Holly DeBoer
Bridesmaid
Holly is one of my closest cousins. We grew up like siblings together in Michigan. Holly and Meagan were always showing me what was "cool". Holly is married to Andy and they have a daughter named Emmy. I'm happy to have her stand with us at our wedding and had the privilege of standing with Holly at her own.
Emmah Iseman
Bridesmaid
Emmah Lou. This young women has been Hannah and my best friend since kindergarden. Emmah is a teacher, wife to Bobby and mother to Eisely. She is one of the hardest working, most thoughtful person that I know. I can say I wouldn't be the same person that I am today without her in my life.
Shaylynn Lovebright

Shaylynn is my go to girl in Colorado. Shay and I have lived together, worked together and have been on countless dog walks and hikes. I've had the pleasure of watching her become a wife to Ben and mother to identical twin girls, Rio and Leia, who are growing up fast. Life out west would not be the same without her.

Carol is five out of six sisters whom are all still very close and you will meet them all at the wedding. Her and my dad have been married for 32 years. Carol is very excited to have Jesse welcome Jesse into our family.
Ted Kitchenhoff
Father of the Bride
My dad Ted will be walking me down the aisle. He is supportive and loving. Ted is always willing to lend a helping hand and cook you a breakfast. As kids, he never missed a sports game or an opportunity to play ball with us in the field. My dad loves having Jesse as a part of our family, he needed another man around!
Stephen Witherspoon
Best Man
Spoon and I met at Fort Lewis College on an invasive species removal project on the San Juan River. Realizing our mutual respect for the river and all things boating a lifelong friendship developed. After hundreds, maybe into the thousands by now, of river miles Spoon and I have enjoyed adventuring through amazing river canyons, now i'm proud to have Spoon stand as my best man while i embark on my lifelong adventure with Leah.
Jeff Follis
Groomsman
Jeff and I met playing in the prestigious Ouray Winter Classic as members of the elite San Juan Snakes Hockey Club. The conversation began with the fact that Jeff was organizing a Grand Canyon rafting trip with which he was the permit holder for. Blurting out without hesitation I expressed my interest in joining. After some brief hesitation Jeff decided to take a chance and invite me and my buddy Spoon. The course of that trip solidified the tremendous friendship Spoon, Jeff and I would inevitably have with one another. We've been running rivers ever since.
Dylan Cooney
Groomsman
Dylan and I both grew up in the town of Telluride. Over the course of our whole lives we've had the luxury of getting into mischief in the small box canyon and having a hell of a lot of fun doing it. Now as a licensed electrician Dylan has been one of my closest confidants and prevented me from electrocuting myself on all the major construction endeavors I'm continuously embarking on. He's an amazing friend and an awesome person to have in your corner. Not to mention a badass buddy to go snowboarding with.
Nason Lamb
Groomsman
Nason is my older brother and I'm so grateful he has agreed to be a groomsman at my wedding. Over the course of my life I've thoroughly enjoyed and shared a love for soccer and music with Nason. He's been an awesome brother to me and I hope that he feels the same way about myself.
Mitchell Matzenbach
Groomsman
I've only spent a little bit of time with Mitchell in Michigan but it was very plain to see why he's Leah's favorite cousin. I could tell right away he's an awesome guy and I look forward getting to hang out with him much more. As Leah's favorite cousin, it was very important to have Mitchell be apart of our celebration and I'm thrilled he'll be up there with us.
Dave and Karen Lamb
Father and Mother of the Groom
Dave and Karen Lamb are my parents and have been and always will be an enormous part of my life. Living just down the street from one another we are so lucky to be able to frequently see one another and continuously help each other out with whatever project or problem that may arise. It was so easy for them to love Leah and bring her into our family. I couldn't be more grateful for that and know how excited they are for her to officially become apart of our family.
Rio and Leia Lovebright
Flower Girl
This is Rio and Leia! These are Shay and Ben's identical twin girls. I've enjoyed watching them grow over the last few years. They are sweet, smart, and they are each others best friends. I love watching their special relationship. It reminds me of growing up with my own twin.
