Ceremony

When thinking of their wedding celebration, Michael and Mack wanted to keep it intimate and adventurous. Due to the intimacy of sharing their vows and the beautiful landscape in their "backyard," the couple has decided to have a small private ceremony in the Colorado Mountains on June 1, 2019. This will give them the chance to focus on each other on their wedding day while still being able to celebrate with everyone else at a later date. Michael and Mack cannot wait to celebrate with everyone at Exile Brewing Company with beer and hor d'oeuvres and they promise to share pictures of the ceremony.

Mackenzie

Bride

Soon to be law school grad (May 2019), make believe chef and interior designer, dog mommy, amateur skier, wine snob.


Michael

Groom

College Wrestling Coach at UNC, horror movie aficionado, Wikipedia deep-diver, collector of hip-hop and reggae deep cut-vinyls, dog dad, beer snob.

Blake

Man of Honor

Blake has been Mack's best friend since they cheered together at the University of Minnesota. Their friendship has stood the test of time from Panama City Beach shenanigans in college to Blake moving across the country with his dog Reggie to live with Michael, Mack, Lenny, and Barry in Colorado. In Colorado, you may self-solemnize, meaning there does not need to be an officiant, and the couple may "marry" themselves. While the couple will be signing their own marriage certificate, Blake will be starting the ceremony before passing it off to Buff.


Gabriel

Best Man

Gabriel, known by family and close friends as Buff, is Michael's little brother. Before Mack stole Michael to live with her, Buff and Michael had lived together for nearly every year of their lives. Being so close in age to Buff was like having a live in best friend (and wrestling partner). Michael can’t wait to have his little brother help officiate the "officials" in their ceremony; i.e. the exchanging of vows, ring exchange, and "kiss the bride!"
