Growing up with Hunter as my brother was like something out of the movies! To me he was that cool older brother that you looked up too, and wanted to do all the things he was doing like listening to the same music and picking up the same hobbies like skateboarding. Anything he did I wanted to do! As I got older I realized that he has done more than just be that “cool” older brother, he is a person that cares tremendously about his people. So the day I heard about Kelsie I knew this was something so different, and so special! And then I got to speak with her and later meet her and stay in there family home! And in those days I understood everything! I’m so excited to be apart of this day celebrating these two wonderful people! And to finally have a “cool older sister”!

Vanessa Sanchez

Maid of Honor

Kelsie and I have been inseparable since 6th grade, growing up side by side through every twist and turn of life. Even when she moved away from California, we always found ways to stay connected—even if it was just through a stream of silly late night memes. After 18 years of friendship, I was beyond honored when she asked me to be her maid of honor. Watching the way Kelsie speaks about Hunter, and seeing the love they share, fills me with so much excitement for their future and I can't wait to see their love continue to grow.

September 27th, 1995 was a day I will never forget. We lived in Colorado Springs, off Cresta Avenue in a little brick house. I was attending Canyon Elementary, in Mrs. Browns 1st grade class. My mother was pregnant with my soon to be youngest sibling. Boy or girl? This was unknown… I remember the evening of the 27th. The hectic moment my mother went into labor and we piled into the white Mazda to race to Memorial Hospital. I had something to be proud of as a big brother…. My new little brother or sister. I have vivid memories of being in the waiting room with my Grandmother Ann and my Aunt Mary. The hours passed as slow as could be. As a young boy it seemed like forever…. But it all changed within an instant. Out of nowhere, my father busted through the hospital doors… “It’s a girl!” Those were the only words to echo the halls as he quickly disappeared. That day changed the boy I was forever. I now had a baby sister to protect. That responsibility meant everything to me and directed my path to becoming a man. My baby sister Kelsie changed my whole life. A change I could never explain. Even at 7 years old, that love was instilled within me, and created a personal growth only a baby sister could conduct. That love and protective nature has truly made me understand the man I am today.

Michelle Carlisle

Mother of the Bride

Michelle is also one of Kelsie's bridesmaids! Mom and Daughter- wow what a blessing she has been. Words cannot say how powerful she has been in my life. She is the smartest and most balanced person I have ever known. She truly matches her Libra sign in every way. When I met Hunter, he was wonderful, but when I became aware that he was a Libra I knew he would be the perfect match for Kelsie. I am extremely excited to have grandchildren! These two are wasting no time... that's just it, that's how Libras are. My daughter has always been my best friend. We have been to Mexico, New York, Virginia, the Dominican Republic, California and Idaho together! She makes every trip so unforgettable and organized, always the bright and shining star of everything she does. When she was a baby, I could not take my eyes off her. She was actually born with those baby blues! Now I cannot take my eyes off her because of what a beautiful woman she has become. Thank you for including me in your Wedding party. Definitely an honor! Love Mom, your very proud Mom

With that said, only a true man would be acceptable to take Kelsie with my blessing. Hunter is that man. I, with my full heart and soul give honor, hope, and praise to their future. I could not be happier with the love that my Baby sister has found. Hunter and Kelsie, I love you both so much and I cherish what you both have created as a couple. I will forever be by your sides no matter what.

Crystal Cool

Bridesmaid

When Kelsie asked me to be her Bridesmaid, it automatically brought me to tears. I know how important this day is to her because I have had the privilege of watching her blossom into the beautiful young woman she is today. I may be her older cousin but I consider her my little sister. We lived together for a period of time when I was in high school and it was then that I realised just how sensitive, deep, patient, and kind she truly is. When she loves you, she loves you with her whole heart, unconditionally. When she laughs, she’s very animated and playful, it’s infectious and captivating. When she cries, and her face turns bright red, you can see she feels things to the very core. When you’re her family, she will give you limitless chances to do better. When you’re her patient in the hospital you have someone who will listen, empathize, and care which is rare. As the years have rolled on, I have seen her many stages. Nothing makes me happier than seeing the steady progression she’s made from dedicating her life to her career, to her family, and now this love of hers. I feel somewhat bonded because I was hearing about Hunter from the first week that she met him. I have watched the relationship develop into what it is today. I know that she found her soul mate in Hunter. A dog dad, forever adventure buddy, someone to lean on in the hard times when the workload is overbearing, but most importantly, someone to create and share her highest of highs with.

I met Hunter in 2018 when we were both working at Tesla. He was wrapping up college, and I was fresh out of high school, barely 18. He was actually one of the people who trained me, which is funny to think about now given how many years and memories we’ve shared since then. Hunter and I lived together for almost 3 years. Between long work days, pumpkin patches built in his room (yes, actual hay bales and decorations), and spontaneous late-night talks, we’ve built a friendship that’s felt more like brotherhood. He’s always been the guy who’ll make you laugh about the most random situations, then make an inside joke about it for years to come. He’s also one of the most structured people I know with routines, plans, you name it. But I’ll never forget the time he bought a retired ambulance with full intentions of converting it into a camper van, only for it to sit in our driveway untouched before realizing that wasn’t really his thing after all. Or the time we did a fast-food-themed Friendsgiving and he brought quinoa salad from Costco because, of course, it was part of his daily meal routine. No one really ate it, but he packed it up and took it home like a true meal-prep warrior. That’s Hunter, thoughtful, consistent, and fully himself in every moment. Seeing him find someone who not only understands that but complements it so naturally has been incredible. I’m beyond excited to stand by him on this day and celebrate two amazing people coming together.

Bridesmaid

To Hunter, you are one lucky guy! In a family full of COOLS, there's none quite as special as your soon-to-be WIFE! To Kelsie, despite seeing you as my little sister, you have always been much more mature than me! I will always cherish the gentle way you were with me that day on Bondi Beach… singing to me, with my head on your lap, playing with my hair… You are the light in a dark room. You deserve the world. Now go live out your Happily Ever After! I love you endlessly, xo xo

Ive known Hunter for around 6 years now, we started off as roommates in phoenix, and then again in Scottsdale, we became great friends throughout our time living together. I also began working with him at Tesla, so he was never really able to get away from me. We’ve shared countless adventures and laughs and I look forward to many more. When he told me about Kelsie and how great they were together I was so happy for him as he deserves someone as amazing as himself. Im grateful that they are a part of my life and excited to be a part of their wedding crew!

I met Kelsie at work. Our friendship flourished after we went to the Lumineers and we realized we would be soulmates for life lol. She’s become my best friend, my soulmate, and my daughters favorite aunt. She is one of the kindest, most beautiful souls I have ever met. I’m so grateful to have her in my life. And so grateful my daughter and I have also gained someone as awesome as Hunter as a friend. Watching Kelsie fall in love with Hunter was so beautiful. Through his consistency and dedication to their relationship and watching them create such an amazing bond, I was able to see how they would inevitably get to this moment. We love you both so incredibly much and are so happy that you two met and are going to create such a beautiful life together 🩷 You two are such a testament of pure love and respect towards the person you love. I’m so excited to keep watching you take more and more steps in creating a life full of love and happiness. Love you both.

Kelly Carlisle

Officiant

As the brother of the bride-to-be, and the future brother-in-law of our groom, I feel privileged to have been asked to officiate Kelsie’s and Hunter’s union. Officiating a wedding is a roll I never imagined I’d play. I don’t have any ministerial background, and I’m certainly not one to willingly jump in front of a crowd and assume a public speaking position, especially for something as deeply moving and sentimental as the marriage of my one and only sister. Nevertheless, I happily embrace this responsibility with pride and honor, especially for two people that I love and revere so much. The connection I’ve had with Kelsie throughout my life is one that only the two of us will ever fully understand, one between siblings that have experienced life’s journey both far apart and close together, and one I will forever cherish. But Kelsie has established a new connection now. One with her soulmate. As I reflect on the joy and growth I’ve personally witnessed out of Kelsie since Hunter has entered into her life, I feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude - not just for the love she’s found, but for the man she’s found it with. I look forward to nurturing my own connection with my new brother-in-law as this life journey continues, and I am proud to be there to watch these two lovebirds spread their wings and fly!
