Francesca & Ryan
Wedding Party
Gabrielle Krupp
Maid of Honor
Gabbie has stood by me for everything in my life; tea parties, homecoming, football games, debutante balls, and so much more. She helps me celebrate life every single day, regardless of what happens. Life gave me a built-in best friend and I could not dream of anyone better to stand by me on my day.
Brockton Sterling
Best Man
Brock has been one of my closest friends since the first day of freshman year at Mines. I've been lucky enough to play football, go through undergrad and graduate school, and now work professionally with him. Brock always knows how to have a good time, from a trash-can trash-disposal margarita maker at the lake to Broncos games and nights downtown. I couldn't think of anyone better to have at my side.
Nadia Kouri
Bridesmaid
Whether it was teaching me how to ski the difficult slopes or burning her eyebrows off making bananas foster, Nadia never fails to bring a smile to my face. Our family is still trying to decide which one of us is more clumsy... but we'll see on the dance floor.
James Kohlschmidt
Groomsman
Since freshmen year, I've been lucky enough to know James and have him carry me through the hard classes at Mines. When we realized that we were too broke to afford Spring Break, he opened up some doors and created a side-hustle so that we could go to San Diego. If you need somebody to have your back at Jackson's, he's the man.
Jilliann Simms
Bridesmaid
Jilliann and I have been inseparable since Ms. Gustofson's class in kindergarten. She has been my person through the good and the bad; multi-night sleepovers, girl scouts, volleyball games, family vacations, school dances, and many many more.
Adam Schacht
Groomsman
Adam "Big Baby" Schacht has been a close friend since freshman year of high school. From grueling football summer workouts, lunch expeditions to Costa Vida, and everything in between, he's a guy I can count on everyday. Oh, and don't let him tell you otherwise, my watch collection is still much better than his.
Elyssa Long
Bridesmaid
After forcing Elyssa to live with me sophomore year, she instantly became my person. She is the best mouse-killing, dog-loving, target-shopping, road-tripping, shoulder to cry on. I cannot imagine a life without her by my side.
James Hawn
Groomsman
Hawn was my roommate for 4 years at Mines, and the first person I met and became friends with (even though he's a Seahawks fan and constantly reminded me of Super Bowl 48). When I got Kaia, he single-handedly took it upon himself to run her Instagram page and earn us free sponsorships. If you need a ski house in Beaver Creek, he's the guy.
McKenna Adams
Bridesmaid
Everyone needs a McKenna in their life. She is my "yes" girl whenever I need a date to a girls night out or even Rocky Mountain Goat Yoga. McKenna has also been one of my best friend since we were 17; which means she knows too much and she's stuck with me.
Michael Sienkiewicz
Groomsman
From the first day of summer workouts in highschool, Mike and I quickly became close friends (something to do with being tall and a receiver). Through our sports games, ski trips, failed business attempts, and poker nights, I know that he is a guy I can always count on. He's a man with a big heart and big life ambitions.
Justine Keating
Bridesmaid
I am not sure how many football games I could have sat through without Justine. We bonded over our high school loves, relationships with God, and our love/hate relationship with Rockrest. She is the epitome of a faithful and lifelong friend.
Geoffrey Keating
Groomsman
In college, you could find Geoff and I at the Golden dog park teaching our Australian Shepherds fetch (and trying to make them become friends). We've become a lot closer over the past couple years, and I'll miss having him close when he moves to Dallas this summer. If you need a meal prep plan, ask Geoff.
Leah Webb
Bridesmaid
Leah is the life of the party and the best support system a girl could ask for. She came into my life when I needed her the most, and I am so luck to call her one of my closest friends (Plus we were roomies for awhile so we're practically sisters now).
Benton Adams
Groomsman
Ben and I have been close friends since our pre-school days. The middle school routine was pool days in the summer, little league football in the fall, and snowboarding every weekend at Breck in the winter. I looked forward to rivarly week every year in highscool, where I would wake up to a decorated car on game day and could hear him heckling from the opposing stands. Oh, and don't get it wrong, he's Strawberry Blonde.
Gretchen Schneider
Bridesmaid
Gretchen and I have shared a lot together. One dorm building; a cozy but questionable apartment; a slightly scary but fun filled house; and more margarita & game nights than I could count. I can't wait for her to share this day with me, as well!
Matthew Soran
Groomsman
Matt and I have been close friends since our pre-school days. We spent countless days tearing up Chatfield and Cherry Creek Reservoirs on the tubes and jet-skis.
Ivana Petrovic
Bridesmaid
Ivana was my collegiate partner-in-crime. Whether it was boring lectures, student government, wild nights out, or cozy nights in; she has been one of my closest friends from the very start!
Luke Weinmann
Groomsman
Luke has been a close friend since preschool and I can always count on him to be there for me-- Whether it's a football game, holiday party, or grabbing a beer and wings. He's a great guy and makes a mean chocolate martini.
James Jones
Honorary Grooomsman
James and I have been friends since the beginning of high school, and became closer during college. During football recruiting, he always talked me up to coaches and tried his best to get me #D1Bound with him. I'm proud to have a friend that chose to serve our country. James will unfortunately be playing at an Away game on October 10th, and will be missed.
Scott Adams
Honorary Groomsmen
When I found out that Scott not only knew what Snicker Salad was, but loved it as much as I do, I couldn't help but be friends with the guy. From then on, our dorm room mini-fridge was constantly being restocked with midwestern food and small-town recipes. If you need a little country influence or some asian zing to spice up your food, Scott is your man. Scott unfortunately is not able to attend our wedding, and will be missed.
