Wedding Party
Collin Kubistek
Groom
Collin grew up in both Eaton, CO and Las Vegas, NV, but he eventually moved back to Eaton in middle school. This is where he and Rachel originally met - although that's not the full story if you ask him. He began working as a wildland firefighter back in 2020, working on hotshot crews in Montana and Estes Park, before switching to structure firefighting last year. Collin enjoys hunting, riding his motorcycle, hanging out with friends and family, golfing, and spending time with Rachel and Waylon.
Rachel LeClair
Bride
Rachel has been a Colorado native most of her life. Besides a short spurt in New Hampshire when she was little, Rachel grew up mainly in Eaton, CO, where she met Collin, and a majority of her bridesmaids. Straight out of high school, Rachel pursued tattooing, as she was always artistic. After 8-years of tattooing, she finally opened up her first studio in Loveland, CO with her close friend Lin. Rachel enjoys painting, hanging out with friends and family, watching epic movies, and spending time with Collin and Waylon.
Kyle Kubistek
Best Man
Kyle is Collin's older brother. They did not always get along as kids, but have become very close as they have grown older. Kyle is always someone Collin can count on for anything, including some good laughs roasting their old man. Kyle is the milk man.
Katelyn Meneffee
Maid of Honor
Katelyn is Rachel's little sister, longest friend, and biggest ally. She's seen her through every stage of her life, and Rachel couldn't imagine having anyone else right next to her on this big day. Rachel had the treat of being Kate's Maid of Honor last year, and she's so excited for Kate to be hers now.
Dawson Turentine
Groomsman
Collin and Dawson became lifelong friends in high school, where they quickly bonded over their love of hunting, chewing Copenhagen, and goofing off. They have endured lots of hard work and good times together as friends and roommates. Dawson is an electrician and an eagle.
Hillary (Dani) Roth
Bridesmaid
Dani and Rachel have been best friends since they began working together at Jon's tattoo shop back in 2019. They have created so many amazing, hilarious, and crazy memories together. She is Rachel's "exit buddy", the only person Rachel has a matching tattoo with, and an absolute ride-or-die friend. Rachel is so honored to have Dani up there with her on this special day.
Ed Fritzler
Groomsman
Collin and Ed have been close friends since high school, where they played football, partied, and worked out together. You can catch these two talking about any topics regarding how to better themselves as alpha-males or just goofing around. Ed is a DAWG and will sell you a life insurance policy before you even know what hit you.
Mailen Lopez
Bridesmaid
Mailen and Rachel have been best friends since their sophomore year in high school, when Mailen moved to Eaton, CO. Mailen has been a steadfast friend, always sticking by Rachel's side and pushing her to be a better, more grounded person. Mailen is selfless, caring, (brutally) honest, and hilariously funny, and Rachel is so lucky to have her as a best friend and bridesmaid.
Ryder Rich
Groomsman
Ryder and Collin have known each other since preschool and are close buddies. They are always up to some mischief for a good laugh. They can go without hearing from each other for months and pick back up like they just saw each other the day before. Ryder has already sold his cows, so he doesn't need your bull.
Lainee Flanagan
Bridesmaid
Lainee and Rachel met when they were very little, after Rachel went to her house for a playdate with her big sister Ryleigh. Even though she was a year younger, Lainee has always been the wisest and kindest one in the friend group. She has remained one of Rachel's best friends and confidants over the years, and Rachel couldn't imagine having her big day without Lainee by her side.
Austin Wilkinson
Groomsman
Collin met "Wilky" while working on Alpine Hotshots. They have become good friends and you can catch them jibber-jabbering any time they are together. Wilky has a lot of sayings that no one else has ever heard before, and we are all convinced they are made up. He also has a wolf for a dog.
Lin Droege
Bridesmaid
Lin and Rachel met at Jon's tattoo shop 3 years ago. They bonded over their love for art, painting, learning, and philosophical debate. Lin quickly became one of Rachel's closest friends and has always been a constant source of joy, laughter, and peace for Rachel. She is so thankful that she gets to call Lin her best friend, business partner, and bridesmaid.
Cody Milihram
Groomsman
Collin and "Codeman" worked together on Alpine Hotshots and quickly became acquainted with their shared urban language style. You can find the Codeman and Collin discussing some philosophical breakthroughs or just having a good laugh. Codeman worships a Joe Rogan shrine with a 5-fingered grizzly bear amount of Copenhagen in his cheek.
Rebekah Quandt
Bridesmaid
Rebekah is Rachel's older cousin. They grew up side-by-side as best friends and creative inspirations to one another. Rachel remembers being a main actor in many of Rebekah's plays growing up, and they were equally obsessed with Taylor Swift for years. Rachel couldn't imagine getting married without Rebekah, her built-in best friend since childhood.
Fox Knapp
Groomsman
Collin and Fox worked on Alpine Hotshots together. They bonded over their shared love of corn and similar upbringing in a small town. Everyone is still unsure whether Fox is from Iowa or Illinois, and when asked which one, he replies, "It's the same thing."
Ryleigh Hauer
Bridesmaid
Rachel and Ryleigh have been best friends since 1st grade. Even though they weren't in the same class, they connected on the playground through their love of horses and the movie "Spirit". Ryleigh has been a steadfast friend to Rachel throughout the years. Always offering advice, wisdom, and solace through the good times and bad. Rachel is honored to have Ryleigh as her bridesmaid and cake maker!
