Maid of Honor
I've known Karissia since we were 16. She moved to Kansas from California back in 2006 and started working as a cashier at Target next to me. While I wasn't too sure of this "new girl", she claimed me as her friend and we've pretty much been inseparable ever since! Now, we get to live our dream (well my half of our dream) of being in each other's wedding. And I am SOOOO happy and excited to have Karissia standing next to me.
Best Man
I think in all honesty that Drew and I were secretly separated at birth. We've been best friends since 3rd grade and it's scary how similar we are: we've always joked that I was Rhonda's (Drew's mother) other son since high school. Between the many rounds of golf and throughout life, he has always been there for me, and I couldn't be any happier having him and Kyle next to me as best men.
Bridesmaid
I met Adrienne back in 2017 on a plane headed to Boise, Idaho, for a new job. I think both of our main concerns was hoping we weren't going to be kidnapped! (Back story, we both started a job at the same time and they flew us out to Idaho for a week of training) After the 1st or 2nd day of training when we were back at our hotel rooms, Adrienne asked if I wanted to come over and we bonded over some drinks. Who knew that a new job could form such a strong friendship! I couldn't imagine not having this girl in my wedding. She is always there for me, any any of her friends, and am just so happy she's a part of my life!
Best Man
Kyle and I became friends in 7th grade at Bode, and pushed each other along the way. Kyle and Alexander Hamilton ("Hammy"), talked me into running cross country and joining their church youth group in high school which helped me become the person I am today. We played A LOT of "21" together, in fact we checked out of class every day to meet in the gym to play. It was tough when you and your best friends go to different colleges and are miles away, but Kyle and I remained close those years with the help of XBOX Live. I've always seen Kyle and Drew as my long lost brothers, and have been waiting for the day to have them as my best men.
Bridesman
I met Michael during my property management days. While helping him find ways to wine and dine Adrienne, we quickly formed a tight friendship. Well, actually Vanderpump Rules is how we formed our friendship. You can say it's our "guilty pleasure" of reality t.v. Michael has always been there and looked to make sure I was happy.....and let me force a puppy into their lives....but she was SOOOO worth it! LOL This guy is DA BOMB.
Groomsman
I've known James since 2012, when we first started playing Xbox live together with Kyle. Even though he is in a far, distant, and cold land (North Dakota), I still consider him one of my closest friends. James has always had his ear open to listen and share thoughts about life and experiences. I've always viewed James as a bigger brother, one because he towers over me in height, and two, because he has always had my back when I've needed him.
Officiant
As I dub him as the "Voice of Reason", Doug and I have been fraternity brothers since Fall of 2007. Together we have successfully ran a business from the ground up, climbed the highest peak in Colorado, and accomplished many feats that would take people a lifetime in such a short time span. Although he absolutely hated when I would wake him up yelling about the Price is Right at the fraternity house, his door was always open for conversations and experience sharing. We have spent many miles in a GMC Terrain recently, and I look forward to the many adventures ahead.
