Wedding Party
Mandy Groseth
Maid of Honor
We may not remember exactly how or when our friendship began, but I will forever be grateful that I get to call our beautiful bride one of my best friends! From high school classrooms to being college roommates, and later navigating life together in Bozeman while Kela tackled medical school, we’ve stood by each other through every major milestone. I’m honored to be by her side for the most important one yet! I currently live in Bozeman, MT, with my husband and our two furry friends. We both work for Montana State University and are arguably some of the biggest Bobcat fans you’ll ever meet. You'll catch us watching the Gold Rush football game on the Saturday of the wedding weekend to really kick off the festivities! All 'Cats fans are welcome ;)

I’m lucky to be a long time friend of the beautiful bride! I’ve had the privilege of knowing Kela since we were little ones, as my grandma Ilse babysat us both. I will always recall how I, a very shy introverted child, thought that Kela was very outgoing and maybe a little ‘crazy’ when we were kids. Then we grew up to become the best of friends and I can absolutely confirm that is true! Kela was actually the one to introduce me to lifting with a barbell in college for the first time...but that led me to becoming a personal trainer. I live in Lafayette, CO with my fiance Ethan and our child (aka pug) Otie. I cannot wait to celebrate one the most important people in my life, on one of the biggest days of her life!

Maid of Honor
I've had the pleasure of knowing our radiant bride since high school, where our shared love for caffeine and cold cuts blossomed at the local coffee/sandwich shop over two years of frothing milk and spilling secrets. Despite going to rival colleges (MSU v. UM), Kela would often visit me in Missoula, strategically plotting how to distract me from my studies. As one of her many partners in crime, it makes sense that she was with me on the unforgettable night I met my future husband at a social gathering. Now almost a decade after he and I got hitched, we're side by side again as I return the favor in her wedding with Josh. Get ready for lots of laughter, large displays of love, and questionable dance moves on the big day!

I’m Dylan, I’m married to Catherine — one of the bridesmaids. I’m a FedEx fleet manager in northern Wisconsin. When I’m not wrangling delivery vans, I’m tending a barbecue, chasing snow downhill, losing golf balls, or hunting mushrooms and birds in the woods with Henry.
