Wedding Party
Brynn Lakosky
Maid of Honor
Brynn has been my best friend since the summer before college. At orientation she chose to sit next to me and we connected immediately! She has been my person ever since. She was there with me through all of college, moving to multiple different states and to talk with me through all the good and bad times! She was there the day that I met Cameron at the Showdown Game. She pointed out his Minnesota tattoo, which began our conversation, and the rest of our relationship. I do not know where I would be or who I would be today without her. No matter how far apart we may be in the world Brynn is likely to call or text me every single day. She is kind, considerate, selfless and a one of a kind human that I am beyond grateful to have in my life! <3
Michael Badum
Best Man
In 2012, Cameron was experiencing a lot of changes in his "norm." Football was done, he just spent six months bouncing around Europe and came home not sure of what was next. He then found himself on the sunny shores of Lake Hubert, MN. There, he met Michael, known formally as Badum. Badum and Cameron became fast friends through their Fort Collins connection, grit and mutual disregard for separated shoulders. 10 years later, this man, will stand next to Cameron as his best friend and best man.
Samantha Bourdon
Bridesmaid
Sam is Camerons older sister and as the older sister she is his protector! The pressure was on meeting Sam as I wanted to be sure she liked me. Just like my older brothers would always protect me, Sam does the same for Cameron. Sam is incredibly smart, driven, determined, honest and up front. She will always tell you how it is, which is one of her best qualities!
Asher Bourdon
Groomsman
It wasn't until recently that Asher and Cameron got to spend quality time together. But, boy oh boy, was it wonderful. Cameron was over the moon when he found out Asher was heading to the University of California at San Diego. During those four years, somehow, Asher managed to focus on his studies and ROTC training to finish top of his class and head into flight school for the Navy. Cameron didn't make it easy. Between Bronco's related heartbreak, Vegas, getting humiliated on the golf course and surprise ice situations. Asher's time in San Diego made both Cameron and Madi's life more exciting.
Ella Rhoads
Bridesmaid
Ella is Camerons 15 year old little sister, and I have known her since she was 7 years old! She has been playing soccer ever since I have known her and she is an amazing! We met for the first time at her soccer game. Her and Cameron were kicking a ball around and she asked me if I wanted to join. I said "No thanks, I'm okay" and Ella says "What do you suck at sports??" So I then got up to play to prove that I was not terrible at sports haha! It is incredible to have been able to watch her grow and mature from a wild child to a slightly less wild teenager!
Lane Bourdon
Groomsman
The man. The Mullet. The Myth. The order might be off, but this guy is the real deal. The youngest of Cameron's brothers, Lane endured the bumps and bruises from his brothers and turned it into brains and brawn. Graduating soon after the wedding with his BSN in Nursing, Lane also leads the PC Saints football team as their Defensive Captain and Outside Linebacker. Again, Cameron is humbled by the brilliance of his younger brother.
Nicole Papayans
Bridesmaid
Nicole has been one of my closest friends since we were 12! We first met in PE class where we fought over a school newspaper and if it was mine or hers haha! We went through middle school, high school, college and post college life together! Nicole is the person I may not see or speak to every day but when I do see her, it is like no time has past! Though long distance friendship may be hard, she is always there to listen to me and make time for me whenever I am in town! She is kind, hilarious, accepting, trusting and one of the most wonderful people I know and I am so lucky to have her in my life! <3
Ben Rhoads
Groomsman
Lifetime Movies would have a field day on these two. Ben the younger brother. Cameron the older. Years spent looking up to his older brother until realizing slowly that Cameron, looked up to him. what a gem of a human. An older brother can only dream of having such an amazing younger brother.
Angie Aguilar
Bridesmaid
Angie is one of the first friends that I made when I moved to San Diego. My first job was at a doggy day care and she was a groomer. We began talking and the more time we spent together the more our friendship grew! Angie has been there for my best and worst times and has always remained one of the most amazing friends! She is fun, caring, honest and never one to judge. Angie has always been there to listen to me, support me, comfort me and bring me lots of laughs and amazing memories in San Diego! Truly an irreplaceable friend. <3
Kyle Ortega
Groomsman
In 2012 Cameron came out to California to visit Madi and her family for the first time. As the two drove up the coast from LA to Santa Barbra, Madi casually leaned over the center console and told Cameron, "I need you to know that if Kyle doesn't like you, we have to break up..." Thankfully for all parties involved Kyle and Cameron got along like peas and carrots! Much to Madi's delight (or dismay) Cameron and Kyle have grow close and Cameron could not be happier to gain another loving brother.
Megan Heneghan
Bridesmaid
Megan and I met by chance when our boyfriends became roommates back in 2015. We instantly connected when we met and it was like I had known her my whole life! From San Diego, to LA, Last Vegas to Catalina - we can find fun and make memories everywhere that we go! Megan is always ready for a spontaneous adventure, easy going, incredibly smart and so very hard working. I am truly lucky to have a person in my life as wonderful as her!
Bryce Ortega
Groomsman
Although there was no ultimatum leading up to Cameron meeting Bryce, the pressure was still on. Bryce, Madi's oldest brother, welcomed Cameron into the family with open arms. Bryce has had a huge impact on Cameron both personally and professionally. Whether it was excellent career advise or priceless fashion pointers, Bryce has continued to show his support and love for both Cameron and Madi. Again, Cameron couldn't be happier to gain another amazing brother (thats 5 now for those of you keeping score at home).
Davia Carr
Bridesmaid
Davia has been my friend since my first year at Colorado State University. We were randomly assigned as roommates and became friends right away! She has been there with me through all of the wild moments of college and in life as we grew after college. Though we have been long distance friends since graduating she always does her best to stay connected and up to date on everything going on in our lives! Davia is kind, smart, motivated, Driven, incredibly hard working and a genuinely wonderful friend! <3
Spencer Hefflin
Groomsman
Spencer and Cameron moved out to San Diego around the same time. They found that their initial housing situation wasn't ideal, around the same time. They tried all the sites, zillow, rent.com, findaroomatethatisntamurder.org. Until, they both turned too Craigslist. Spencer replied to an ad Cameron had posted looking for a roommate and thankfully they were both who they said they were online. They found a place and the rest was history. Late nights, literal taco runs, video games, live-in landlords and matching halloween costumes. They became fast friends.
John Schrader
Groomsman
One of Cameron's oldest and dearest friends. John and Cameron met when they were 7 years old. They lived a block away from each other and got into every kind of trouble there was. Through the years they took their own paths but one thing was constant. No matter where, no matter when, they could rely on each other to be there. John "The Scraper" Schrader, Ladies and Gentlemen.
Stephen Wayne
Groomsman
In 2015, Cameron was sitting in his living room watching TV when the front door swung open. Standing there was a guy wearing an Idaho Vandals teeshirt, holding a huge box with a floor fan on top. That guy was Steve. Unsure whether he was being robbed or evicted, Cameron turned back towards the TV and sent his current roommate, Spencer a text. "Is your friend visiting?" Spencer didn't reply for three days but by that time Cameron found out Steve was his new roommate. Who knew that Idaho produced actual geniuses? Steve and Cameron lived together for a year and Steve lived with Madi and Cameron as he finished his Masters in Quantum Technical Near and Far Space Engineering, or something like that. Steve has been there for the ups and downs and continues to be a close friend of Cameron's.
Brent Taylor
Officiant
Brent and Cameron worked at Camp Lincoln for Boys in 2012 but it wasn't until the summer of 2013 when they really got to know each other. Both were Division Directors and would come back to work as Directors in 2018-2020. Brent and Cameron kept each other sane during the long summers and have always made it a point to visit if they are in the same town. Brent came out to Lake Tahoe in 2020 to officiate Cameron and Madi's "COVID wedding." He is back for an encore performance this fall! Fair warning, get the tissues ready!
