Maid of Honor
Allie Rae has been my adventure partner for many years. When one of us has an itch to explore new places we pack up the car and hit the road. Together we’ve logged many miles on the road, in the air, on foot, on horse back, over snow & deserts, through forests & mountains. When Conlan came into my life he knew he’d have to strap up his boots & keep up! For the past 10 years Allie has been by my side through highest of highs (setting up our engagement picnic) and some low lows (moving me into her tiny house with 5 days notice). She has been my rock and my sunshine, pushing me to be the best version of my self! Welcoming Conlan into our adventures with open arms & lots of cocktails. I can’t ask for anyone else to be standing next to me as I start a new adventure with a different partner.

I first met Carly while running for Carroll, after we had both finished we quickly realized we had so much more in common than just running together. Carly quickly become my partner in crime as we frolicked the streets of Helena together. Our shared love of all cheese, every Law and Order episode ever made, and kittens is one of many reasons we referred to one another as soAlmates. After a failed attempt to marry her into my family, I sent her off to Oregon to become the most bad ass counselor there ever has been! She quickly met her actual soulmate and I was able to make it back to Oregon to be a part of her special day. When she came back to Helena for the first time since she left I knew she HAD to meet Conlan. Now she get's to stand next to me as I marry my soulmate!

I met Hannah on our first day of practice at Carroll. I had heard about the new freshman from Wolf Point and was already intimidated by her. Needless to say she shows up in a pair of Jordan basketball shorts, a cut off t-shirt, and running flats, ready to rock and roll on this 8 mile up hill run! It took EVERYTHING in me to not let her beat me:) Her infectious laugh quickly won me over and I realized I needed this girl to be in my corner! She has been my defender and my rock ever since. I know I can always count on Hannah to not only tell me like it is but to cheer me on with all her heart! She will forever motivate me to be my best, just like she did on the very first day I met her. I am lucky to have her standing next to me and cheering me on while I marry Conlan.

I’ve known Claire since my early days of elementary school. We become friends through Girl Scouts, attending many camps together. Our friendship solidified in high school when we ran cross country and track together. Our shared love of food, boy bands, and everything Beyoncé is the glue that holds our friendship together today! When we get together it's like nothing has changed. We still dance and sing and giggle like we're 16. Our partners know when we're all going out together that they will hear the same story they've heard 1 million times, and we both will still laugh so hard we'll cry. I was so honored to walk Claire down the isle on her wedding day, and feel just as lucky to have her return the favor!

I met Olivia through my friend Hannah. She told me I just HAD to meet this girl because she knew we would get along instantly. She was right! After spending many weekends together and running countless miles I decided to take Olivia up on an offer to move in with her. Over the course of two years living together we made it through a long distance engagement (hers) and first year of marriage (hers as well), 3 wild dogs and 1 sassy cat, numerous trips to Billings, one eventful trip to Vegas, ran 100’s of miles in the heat, snow, through hangovers, and training sessions! I’m so lucky to have met and made such an incredible friend, and couldn’t imagine this day without her by my side. (Olivia would also like it to be known she’s the reason I took golf lessons in the first place)
Bridesmaid
I met Kaycee my senior year of high school when we were paired to do an English project together. I knew she would quickly become a close friend when she shared the same distain for memorizing lines of Shakespeare as I did! We quickly realized we shared the same initials and that was it, we were automatically best friends. Our friendship survived many years of Kaycee living in Portland and me traveling to visit when I could. The day she told me she was moving back to MT may have been one of the happiest days of my life! 14 years of countless pranks and calories later she will be standing by my side as I marry my new partner in crime. Although our names have both changed we will forever be #KMG.
Bridesmaid
Jenna, Kaycee and I become instant best friends when we were the only members of the State track team our senior year of high school. Our love of The Grinch and doughnuts from Vans Thriftway is what catapulted our friendship! Hitch hiking, river days, snow sculptures, water balloons, street sledding, rodeos, our big Butte family, 1,000's of pranks, millions of miles, and 14 years later I can state with confidence that Jenna will be forever a part of my life! She is a light in my life and such a rock, I could not imagine starting my life with Conlan without Jenna standing by my side, making me laugh and cry along the way!
Best Man
Quinn was my very first friend when we moved out to East Helena, and has remained the best friend you could ever ask of for 24 years. From countless sleep overs growing up, to living together upon my return from NM, Quinn has always been a huge part of my life. I couldn't imagine having anyone else by my side through this new adventure, and I am so unbelievably proud of the friendship and personal growth we have sustained over all these years. Quinn is the single best person I know, and I wouldn't be here without him.

To be completely honest, I used to think Carp was the absolute WORST. Only because he is one of the most gifted athletes I know, and he was always better than us at everything! I'm so happy that over the years our friendship has grown, and I now have him as one of my closest friends. Carp is one of the kindest souls I know, and I appreciate how easy it is to confide in one another. Carp is one of the most genuine people I have ever met, and I'm so happy to have him in our wedding party. Carp, if you're reading this, ignore all of that sappy stuff. JHF

Anthony and I are cut from the exact same cloth. I had QUITE the experience at NMSU, and I shared some of my fondest memories with him. Del has seen me at some of my absolute peaks, and pits, and has never bailed on me. I so very much appreciate the fact that no matter where the golf industry has taken us, we can go months without speaking and pick up the phone and talk like we just saw each other yesterday. Del is one of the best people I have ever met, and I'm honored that he is making his triumphant return to MT to be with us.

Drew Stetzner is one of, if not the greatest human being I know. Drew is one of the most down to earth, funny, and smartest people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Drew knows the feeling of having a parent teaching at the school he went to, and we have always been able to relate to each other. I don't think I could have made it through HS golf without him, and I'd never tell him this in person, but he is a GREAT player.

Big Dog is one of the most interesting people I have ever met. I admire his ability to analyze literally anything. I'm 99% sure that he is half robot. I love being able to talk to him candidly about topics including, but not limited to; Fantasy Football, WWE, Reality TV, UFC, and most importantly... East Helena, cultural epicenter of the modern world. Ty is one of the most independent people I know, and I admire that about him.
Groomsman
Riley is one of the kindest, and most sincere people I know. His spirit allows him to have a relationship with LITERALLY EVERYONE, and I have made some great friends and had great memories because of him. While we might not always see eye to eye on everything, I know that I can talk to him about anything comfortably. Riley is always there to join me for a beer after long days, and makes time for everyone in our friend group. Every group needs a glue guy, and Riley is the best at gathering everyone I know. I'm happy to have him on my team.

Oliver Jones is the epitome of a great man. If you would have told me in 2010 that I would live 2 doors down from the "Voice of the Rustlers" in Las Cruces, NM I would have laughed in your face. I honestly don't think I would have survived my time in NM without Oliver. Having someone who relates to MT values, golfs, enjoys a GOOD craft brew, and can talk about life with such ease is something I cherish to this day. I could write a 10,000 page essay about Oliver, and not even scratch the surface of his legacy. Mahalo Oliver, I'm excited to have you back in the homeland!
