Maid of Honor
Nikki and I met in 2001 when I was a freshman at Jesuit and she was a sophomore. We were in the Ice Cream Club (totaling 4 people) and played softball. We both attended OSU, where Nikki convinced me to join the rowing team. She has an awesome husband, Dave, and two high energy boys Ben and Teddy (my Godson).
Bridesmaid
My Aunt Kathy & Uncle Steve were my "Colorado Parents" when I lived in Colorado Springs. They checked in on me, had me over for weekends and holidays, and drove me to the airport at 4 in the morning during a blizzard (true story!). Aunt Kathy, Uncle Steve, and I became pen pals, often using our typewriters to send silly notes, or fun postcards we found on our travels. They got me into beekeeping a few years ago, and I still call Aunt Kathy regularly with my bee questions! Mark and my son, Callan Steven, is named after my Uncle Steve, and we are so glad Aunt Kathy will be at the wedding as my Colorado Mom!
Officiant
My dad, Greg, will be officiating the wedding! My parents have always been my biggest fans, always encouraging me and supporting me in every endeavor. I'm so excited to have him perform Mark and my wedding!
Best Man
Though they fought like cats and dogs growing up, Stephen is now one of Mark's best friends and greatest confidants. From giving him rides to and from ASU to memorable trips to Vegas for March Madness, he is one of the first people Mark thinks to share good news with and a great man.
Groomsman
Chris is Mark's oldest brother and one of the smartest guys he knows. 10 years older than Mark, he was often a second parent to him as well as a brother. Mark has been thrilled that he recently moved to the Portland area with his family and that he gets to see them all much more frequently for holidays and family events.
