Melissa and I met over 15 years ago when I started dating her older brother Ryan - Melissa is such a special person and so full of life and such a joy to be around! We have had so many special memories and I am beyond grateful to be a part of her and Kyle's wedding day.

Best Man

Kyle and I met in 3rd grade at Christ the King. We’ve stayed good friends throughout grade school, high school, college, and after graduation even though we lived in different states. There’s never a dull moment when he and I are hanging out – and we have countless stories as a result. I can’t wait to be a part of Melissa & Kyle’s big day!

I met Melissa about 8 years ago when she started dating my brother Kyle. Melissa’s talent of immediately replacing Kyle as the favorite family member is uncanny. She has become a true sister over the years and I love every minute we get to spend together. I am so thankful for our friendship and I am delighted to be able to spend the special day with her and Kyle.

I first met Kyle on my birthday, the day I was born. We immediately clicked and decided to become brothers. Growing up we shared many interests, such as video games and airplanes, and bonded playing Mario Kart on the N64. Being the younger brother I rarely got the better of him but one event stands out. When I was still little and on one of our long family road trips to Louisiana, Kyle became the victim of my car sickness. Our family still likes to remind him of his screams of "IT BURNS" as he recoiled in horror. Melissa, I hope you get that kind of satisfaction one day! I am happy to welcome you into our family and look forward to the Bride and Groom's next chapter!

Bridesmaid

I met Melissa through our siblings in elementary school. We quickly became friends when we attended the same middle school, and have remained friends ever since! Our teen years were filled with sleepovers and bike rides. She has the ability to make me laugh until I cry, and is a true friend. We’ve been lucky to stay close, despite several different moves and time zones. I’m so happy be a part of her special day and so excited for her and Kyle's future together!

Groomsman

I met Kyle as a freshmen during lunch at Hayden High School in 2004. We immediately clicked as we both shared a love of music. As Kyle and I became closer we shared many fond memories through our high school years . As high school ended and the next step in life came our way, Kyle and I became roommates in the Freshman dorms at the University of Kansas (KU). Again, unforgettable memories were made that helped forge a life long friendship between us. Luckily for Kyle, and myself, we had the pleasure to meet Melissa during our years at KU. I quickly realized that there was something special between Kyle and Melissa, and have been cheering them on ever since. I am so happy to be beside both of those wonderful people as they take the next step in life. Cheers to you, Kyle and Melissa!

Caroline Stern

Bridesmaid

I met Melissa about 22 years ago when we were munchkins and our brothers played soccer together. We went through elementary, middle, and high school together and she’s been an amazing best friend to me through all of life’s ups and downs. Melissa and I are convinced we are long lost twins and we talk every day. I’m so excited to be a part of her amazing journey to be with Kyle for the rest of her life!

Groomsman

I met Kyle way back in high school. The friendship really started when we traveled to Germany together. We really spent a ton of time soaking in the history and not drinking much beer. During high school we spent countless hours in the Flynn’s basement playing halo and hiding our friends’ stuff in the ceiling tiles. We busted moves together at the Welton’s raves, and I busted moves fan-girling over Kyle slappin the base at the Boobie Trap Bar. Kyle and I ended up both going to college at KU and basically were roommates the entire 4 years. Melissa came into his life while we were at KU and all of the friends loved her. She was “ONE OF US!” Kyle has always been an amazing friend and is someone who would do anything for you. I am lucky to have met him and shared in so many laughs and brews.

Abbey O'Neil

Bridesmaid

Melissa and I have been friends for over 20 years since first meeting at Randolph Elementary School. Together we’ve biked countless miles on the Shunga Trail, eaten our weight in Wendy’s, and road tripped to California.  Melissa’s infectious laugh and loving nature make her an amazing friend! We’ve shared so many amazing adventures together, and I am thrilled to stand by her side as she marries the love of her life!

Tommy Welton

Groomsman

Kyle and I have known each other since the early days of childhood. We both went to Christ The King, Hayden, and KU. I had the opportunity to call him my roommate for a number of those later years. Melissa entered our lives one of those years and I count myself lucky to have seen their relationship grow from the very beginning into what they have together now. On numerous occasions, Kyle and I have ventured out of state, even out of country, together in search of adventure, sandy beaches, and AM Crunchwraps. Melissa and Kyle have come to visit in Colorado and allowed me to feel welcome in their home anytime I venture their way. I look forward to being apart of their lives in the coming years and hope everyone at the wedding is ready to challenge Kyle to a dance off, I know I will be!

Jennifer Yi

Bridesmaid

Melissa and I first met while playing soccer in high school. She came up to me and asked if I was Jennifer. I'm glad she still wanted to be friends after I asked if her name was Abbey. Ever since that moment Melissa added light into my life. We've shared many adventures that not only will I never forget, but helped shape me into the person I am today. I can't wait to watch you walk down the aisle and marry the love of your life!

Greg Herrman

Groomsman

I met Kyle way back in elementary school at CTK. At first, our friendship primarily started so I could get extra King Cake, but turns out he’s a pretty cool dude. We’ve been fortunate over the years to be able to do some traveling together and I can always count on Kyle to keep things interesting. Whether it’s hitting up beer fests in Germany, or watching him master the Flying Trapeze in the Bahamas (he didn’t), he’s always up for new experiences. I’m so glad that I get to be a part of Kyle and Melissa’s day and join him on the start of another new adventure.
