Kolby & Ashley
Wedding Party
Shane Amen
Best Man
Well, I'm married to my lovely wife, Andrea. I work at Franklin Building Supply in Burley, Idaho. I enjoy the outdoors, kayaking, fishing, skiing, and camping. My favorite memory of Kolby, hah! I got a lot of good ones, but our camping trip at Rock Creek was one of the best. Also, skiing with him all through high school was epic!
Paige Anderson
Maid of Honor
I’m excited to watch my older sister Ashley take this step in her life. Watching my life long best friend grow into who she is today has been a joy. While I have always looked up to Ashley for her determination and passion, my favorite memories of her are definitely her silly side. Not many people get to see Ashley’s silly side, but if you keep her awake long enough you just might. Between non-stop giggling and playing weird pranks on the dogs, she never stopped surprising me. I know Kolby will enjoy at least most of her hijinks.
Trey Widmier
Groomsman
I am the brother to the groom. I don’t want to brag or nothing but being the brother to such an amazing person is truly the best. I am happy that my brother has found someone to be there for him like he has always been there for me. My favorite memory with my brother is when his baseball team did not have enough players and I was able to join so that they could still play. Always looking up to Kolby and wanting to be like him getting to play my favorite sport with him was one of my favorite memories growing up with him.
Taylor Thomas
Bridesmaid
Hey, my name is Taylor, and I am Ashley’s cousin. We have been creating mischief basically our whole lives, so there are many memories throughout the years. Many of those memories involve us being very competitive playing games. These games range from just dance and rock band to phase ten, which are even more interesting now that we are of drinking age, and Egyptian rat screw. P.S. unless you want to lose a hand, do not play Egyptian Rat screw with Ashley! Ashley and I have many different interests and can go months without seeing each other, but as soon as we are together it is crazy how easily we can pick up where we left off. Now we are all grown up and Ashley is getting married, adding another person to our crazy competitive games. Good luck Kolby!
Ethan Crane
Groomsman
My name is Ethan Crane. I met Kolby in High school we played on the bowling team together my senior year. Since then we have been friends enjoying nights out and other Shenanigans. I remember the awesome day he took me flying and showed us how awesome it is to be a pilot. I'm super excited to see him follow his dream and make big moves to be the best he can be. My favorite memory has to be the time Shane and I visited him in Logan and we went out on the town playing pool and enjoying the weekend together.
Tiffani Kuehl
Bridesmaid
I am one of the bride's best friends. We met sophomore year of college when she applied for a job where I worked. It wasn't soon after we met that we became good friends. We share many memories together. Some highlights of our friendship include some fun drunken game nights where she explains how to fly an airplane. Another is her taking myself and Cory up in one of the airplanes she flies and a clipboard hitting me in the head because she was doing some cool tricks with that plane. Lastly, one of my favorite things about our friendship is no matter where we live when we get together its like we have never been a part.
TJ Anderson
Alt Groomsman
Hello! My name is Tucker Anderson, also known as T.J. I am 26 years old and grew up in Santaquin, Utah. I then moved to Price, Utah to attend USUE. I enjoy playing frisbee golf and spending quality time with my loved ones. While attending USUE, I met my spouse, Paige Martinez. Through her, I met Ashley Martinez and then Kolby Widmier. After meeting, we went camping together. We've been hunting and have played many, many rounds of frisbee golf and quite a few game nights in the mix. My favorite memories are us playing frisbee golf at the local college. It's where we have had our best conversations and the most fun.
Coryell Fowler
Bridesmaid
Ashley's friend from college. They met through their mutual friend, Tiffani, and all three quickly formed a strong friendship. Cory has a wonderful two-year-old boy named Nash, and though she isn't currently going to school, she plans to continue in veterinary medicine. There are too many crazy memories to share, but one of Ashley's favorites is when she hid a Bluetooth speaker in Cory's dorm room and played "Tiptoe through the Tulips" off and on to freak her out. Or maybe when she hid a picture of Nicholas Cage's crazy face above her bed to greet her when she laid down to sleep.
Nile Widmier
Father of the Groom
Being a father has been the greatest thrill ride I have ever experienced. Watching Kolby grow into the man he is today fills me with pride. I have many great memories of Kolby growing up, but perhaps my favorite was when I would pull up to a canal during the heat of the summer and ask, “what is that swimming in there?” He would get real close to get a better look and I would throw him in. He would get out of the water smiling and laughing, swearing he’d get me back. Whether it is spending time with Kolby in the woods, riding in the mountains, or just hanging out, his contagious laugh and wonderful sense of humor always brings a smile.
Tony Martinez
Father of the Bride
Ashley's father. He is married to his wonderful wife of 27 years, Jennifer. Tony currently works with Wheeler Machinery in Huntington, UT, and enjoys spending his spare time working away in his garage, and recently coloring (he says it is surprisingly relaxing!). He also is a pastor at Gospel Community Church. Ashley's favorite memories of her dad is working on cars with him in the garage, spending countless hours exploring the mountains on ATVs, and hunting her first deer with a bow with his expert guidance.
Michele Widmier
Mother of the Groom
One of the greatest pleasures for a mother is to watch your child become the adult you dreamed they could be. Kolby has fill my life with so many wonderful memories and proud moments but my favorite was the day I learned I was pregnant with him. We had tried for 10 long years before we were blessed with Kolby; truly one of the greatest miracles of my life. I loved watching him grow up and go after his dream of becoming a pilot. He pursued that dream with such unbelievable determination and it wasn’t always easy, but it did bring Ashley into his life. My one wish for the happy couple… enjoy the precious moments together, time has a nasty way of slipping away before your very eyes.
Jennifer Martinez
Mother of the Bride
I have been married to my junior high sweetheart for just shy of 27 years! I enjoy the outdoors, crafting, cooking, serving the Lord and most of all my family. As a mom, my most fond memory of Ashley is the day she was born. Holding her in my arms for the first time!
