Wedding Party
Darin Smith
Best Man
Known around the town, nation and world as a pioneer in the snow removal industry, mixed with old fashioned hard work, made big shoes to fill, but to Justin, he is the biggest role model with the title, Dad
Victoria Mickle
Matron of Honor
Sister of the bride! Victoria has tolerated Laura Ann from the very beginning and yet somehow has always made her feel like she was never a bother. Victoria is one of the most hard working, intelligent, kind and loving people Laura Ann knows. You can commonly find her on a long walk, in another country or reading a thick book! It has been a joy to grow up together and will be even a greater joy to grow old together.
Brent Smith
Groomsman
Brent has known Justin as long as he has been alive, and watched him grow and stumble, but he has always been clever enough to keep his distance and see where to act differently. You will know Brent by his curly hair, his proud smile, and his precise, yet very justified, choice of words. Brent and Justin enjoy spending time together by rock climbing, one wheeling, and the occasional hang out in the room before lights out.
Madeline Rose
Bridesmaid
Cousin of the bride! Maddy is one of the most creative, enthusiastic and artistic people Laura Ann knows. Maddy has seen Laura Ann through all the phases: spunky kid, awkward adolescent, unsure teen, and now (mostly) capable adult. Lake Tahoe holds a very special place in their relationship as it was the annual summer meetup for cousin time in Tahoe Meadows. Maddy can be found with a camera in her hand and sunglasses on. No matter how old they get, Maddy and Laura Ann will always share the childhood spirit forged from an unbreakable cousin connection.
Dain Kahn
Groomsman
You will probably find Dain with a pair of white ‘Beats’ earphones on, while he's shredding a sik line on his skis, or ripping his bike, or making dinner for Justin at the apartment. Dain and Justin met on the bus on the way up to riding the most popular bike ride in Big Sky, MT and have been friends ever since. Welcome, The Greatest Dain
Natalie Haas
Bridesmaid
College bestie of the bride! Natalie and Laura Ann were roommates since their freshman year at Pepperdine. Navigating the adventure of college turned into a deeply rooted friendship that has lasted 10 years. Natalie is one of the most hospitable, knowledgeable, and kind people Laura Ann knows. You will find her reading, editing a feature film or hosting others at her beautiful home. Natalie and Laura Ann have been there for each other through the mundane, the lows and the highs of life. As Natalie says, "here is to friends who feel more like sisters."
Ben Kobrin
Groomsman
Ben is always figuring out the most creative jargon to describe the latest and greatest gear used to make something better on our bikes, skis, sleds or trucks. Ben has been a true friend, always lighthearted and jovial (with the best laugh) with a great sense of humor. Ben and Justin met on 2 different occasions while bike riding at Big Sky Resort, and by the second time, they exchanged numbers and kicked off their gearhead faction.
Shyann Ford
Bridesmaid
College bestie of the bride! Shyann and Laura Ann met a few times while at Pepperdine, but got closest when they shared a room senior year because as Shyann says "I am cheap and Laura Ann is nice". Shyann is one of the most adventurous, compassionate and funny people Laura Ann knows. For the last three years they had the joy of being roommates once again and it was full of late night dance parties, deep talks, and enough laughing for a lifetime. You can find Shyann on set working on a movie, volunteering with church, or somewhere in the Outer Banks. She is the friend everyone needs and few are lucky to have!
Grant Jardine
Groomsman
Grant is most likely to be with one of his two children, or exploring God's creation while glassing for Elk in his home of Montana. Grant was Justin's first friend in Big Sky, meeting after church service the first sunday that Justin moved there. Since then, Grant and Justin have had many projects such as harvesting his Elk, or painting the entire interior of his first house. He has been an incredible resource of wisdom, and truth for Justin, and anyone that comes across his path.
Ciara Thompson
Bridesmaid
Church bestie of the bride! Ciara and Laura Ann became close friends when they both joined the same small group at church. Ciara is one of those people that quietly and quickly became a soul friend...just a few conversations and the two of them clicked! Ciara is one of the most full-hearted, wise, and kind people Laura Ann knows. She loves to ski, camp and go on outdoor adventures so Lake Tahoe is the perfect place for many future visits. She has a beautiful heart that anyone is lucky to get to know!
Matthew Lecates
Groomsman
Matthew is often seen with a big smile, traveling in many different states, with his close friends from back home, which is how he found Big Sky. He has chosen to include Justin on many ski & apres skis events involving his childhood friends to become chosen family. Matthew and Justin met though another, MATT, who were mutual acquaintances, and due to the small nature of locals of Big Sky, Matthew and Justin enjoyed the outdoor ice rink,rounds of pool, and social turns on the slopes with good friends.
Elizabeth Harris
Bridesmaid
Church bestie of the bride! Laura Ann and Elizabeth met the first Sunday Laura Ann was in LA. Elizabeth quickly brought Laura Ann under her wing, offering support and guidance as a college junior at the time. Elizabeth is one of the most humble, well-traveled and easy-going people Laura Ann knows. She never seeks to be the center of attention, but will astound you by her kind, quiet confidence. She is loyal, very smart (ask her about her coding skills), and an extremely generous soul!
Chase Weisman
Groomsman
Chase is most likely to have a beer in his hand, while sitting in the Levinski parking lot after a solid day of skiing some of Big Sky's biggest lines. He has been a great friend to talk to at any lengh, especially over road trips. Chase has a big heart to befriend pretty much anyone, including Justin. Chase and Justin met at Big Sky one morning during bike season when a conversation in the ticket line struck up about having the same color bike and decided they should hang out. Justin is still in Chase's phone as "YT Bro"
Olivia Hirmer
Bridesmaid
Church bestie of the bride! Olivia and Laura Ann met at a dinner party that a mutual friend hosted. Little did they know that it was the start of a wonderful friendship. From deep, meaningful talks to silly topics, Olivia and Laura Ann can talk about anything and everything! Olivia is one of the most creative, exuberant and multi-faceted people Laura Ann knows. She is a lover of movies, dogs and people. Ask her about her newest TV project she is working on! She will dance the night away with you while also talking about the deeper parts of life. She is a bubbly, beautiful and bright ray of sunshine!
