Kristen & Tyler
Wedding Party
Emily Daniels
Maid of Honor
Emily was my band camp counselor when I was in high school! I then went to college and got to know her since we both played trumpet and sang. We then reconnected after college since we were both young teachers in Montana. Emily always let me stay at her house in Missoula when I was living in Seeley Lake. I even officiated Emily and her husband Lukas's wedding a few years ago. I'm so lucky to have Emily be my maid of honor!
Jake Spearson
Best Man
Jake and I grew up doing everything together. We even shared a crib when we were really little. We would show up at each others house unannounced, walk right inside without knocking, and ask where the food was at (that last part was mostly Jake). Jake is more then a friend to me, he is a brother and I can't think of anyone better to be standing next to me.
Cailin Barr
Bridesmaid
Cailin and I met in college because we both played trumpet but she was older than me! I then got my current job teaching at Hellgate Elementary school where Cailin was the choir teacher. I was constantly going to her for questions and she was an awesome help to me my first year there. We decide that we needed to hang out outside of school too and we became close friends!
Matt Edgerley
Groomsman
At the time of our wedding, Matt will have been my brother for 30 years. There has been a lot of ups and downs in our life but no matter what we were always there for each other. I was lucky enough to stand with him at his wedding to his beautiful wife, Palma. It brings me nothing but joy that he gets to stand with me.
Hannah Sutton
Bridesmaid
First time I met Hannah was sitting next to her at a new hire meeting for my first job. We talked a little bit but actually became friends a year later when I moved back to Missoula. Hannah came up to me during city band rehearsal and gave me her number in case I ever wanted to go hiking. I figured I would take her up on her offer and here we are! We never went back to city band but we still go on walks with coffee.
Billy Mahron
Groomsman
Billy and I met in middle school. We both had the same class schedule so instead of remembering where to go I just followed him around. After 18 year of friendship nothing has really changed. I have been lucky enough to follow Billy all around the world on our many different trips. We have made some really amazing memories and I know my wedding will be another one.
Lauren Reineking
Bridesmaid
Lauren was the first person I met when I started college. We realized how similar we were and became inseparable! Lauren has always been there for me and we've seen each other grow into accomplished adults. Even though she lives in Billings now, we still find time to blab on the phone and visit each other when we play for Missoula Symphony!
Joe Gregor
Groomsman
Many of you may know that I am a little nerdy. What you may not know is that Joe is responsible for that. Joe and I met in elementary school where we would run around at recess pretending to be this or that. This led to countless hours playing video games in his basement and many spilled drinks from laughing too much. It was because of Joe that I joined theater in high school. I owe a lot of who I am to Joe and I am very thankful to him.
Travis Nelson
Bridesman
I've been friends with Travis for at least 10 years! We became friends through band in high school when Travis was a senior and I was a freshman. Even when he graduated, we still hung out every summer when he came home from college. Through lots of life changes we have always stayed close. We check in with each other often and when we see each other, it's like nothing has changed! I'm so excited to have one of my best and oldest friends stand next to me!
Sam Powell
Groomswoman
Sam and I met in a high school science class were we would communicate during tests by making popping noises in the silence. If you told me then I would end up living with Sam for 4 years, I don't think I would have believed you. We have been through more crazy adventures than I can count and I am sure more to come. Marriage is going to be the biggest adventure of my life, I am thankful to have an amazing friend like Sam there to see me through the start of it.
Jon Sutton
Officiant
Jon is a fellow music teacher! I met him right before our first year of teaching and it was an instant friendship. When I met Tyler, I knew Jon had to meet him too. I remember Jon surprise visited me in Missoula and Tyler happened to be on his lunch hour. That's when they connected over their love for the video game Legend of Zelda. Tyler knew then Jon was a cool dude. Jon has always been there for me and we always find time to chat about school and life. With his love for us and his witty charm, we couldn't think of any one better to perform our wedding ceremony!
Camden Edgerley
Ring Bearer
The cutest nephew in the world! We can't wait to see Camden carry our rings and be apart of our special day.
