Official "Brother in law" and/or husband to Brittany Johnson, Matron of Honor
Best Man
Nate and Lance met at 14 when Lance showed up on Nate's families door step with a box of clothes ready to move in for the hockey season. That was the first year that the two of them met, although that first year the two of them didn't see eye to eye and weren't the greatest of friends. Lance left that summer to go home to Wyoming. After leaving the two quickly realized that the other wasn't that bad of a guy and they have been best friends since. Nate was an only child, but over the years he's gained a lot of brothers, Lance being one of them. The two now like to spend their time on the golf course, skiing, or playing competitive board games. Lance can't imagine his life now without meeting Nate and the rest of his family!

"TT" and "MM" have been friends since 2018 when they started their nursing careers together in Spearfish, SD. They quickly became friends after spending lots of time together helping each other with random projects that they may (or may not) do safely. TT and MM go on many adventures together that involve anything from snake skin boots, hiking 17 miles on accident, planting gardens, and baking random things.

Luke is the older brother to Lance. He is 14 years older than him, and with that age gap came a lot of great knowledge passed down. While their parents might not have agreed with all the knowledge shared, it definitely helped shape Lance. They also share a love of sports teams, they both love to root for the Colorado Avalanche, Minnesota Vikings, and unfortunately the Minnesota Twins as well (haha). From a young age Lance leaned into the sports teams his big brother rooted for, he also found a love for some of the same players. If you ask Lance who his favorite hockey player is he would tell you Peter Forsberg, and that stemmed from big bro being fond of "Foppa" as well. Lance is excited for his older brother to stand up there with him on his big day, he can only imagine there will be some laughs that come from it.

Cousins...more like sisters! Growing up together, they may not have always gotten along as Madison looked up to her older cousin and ALWAYS copied what she was doing. Though sometimes they stuck together when they chased Brittany's brother out of the bedroom with lipstick or held him down to wash his mouth out after he cussed at Brittany. As they grew older they became sisters. Spending time hunting, laughing, and having home get togethers, Brittany and Madison always have a good time together. Madison is "Auntie Madison" to Brittany's kids and she enjoys watching them grow up and become unique individuals.

Trevor and Lance's friendship started on a fine day in a hockey locker room, always a great start to a friendship. Lance walked into the locker room and saw Trevor sitting there with a Tulsa Oilers bag; he then looked at Trevor and said, "You played for Tulsa huh? You guys were absolute garbage last year." Now, there may have been some more colorful words in there but we'll keep it clean. From that point on they played their "20 bomb" season together for the Gillette Wild. Trevor was a "grumpy old man" after playing juniors for 6 years, so Lance was always quick to cheer him up... or piss him off. Who knows? Trevor was then blessed even further; he was given the opportunity to be roommates with Lance on the road trips, and that was a chance he couldn't pass up. Now, if you ask Trevor, he will tell you it was a terrible experience, but Lance would say otherwise. Trevor now resides in Las Vegas, so Lance and Trevor normally catch up on the phone, they tend to go a long while so the phone calls are long when they do catch up!
Bridesmaid
Friends since nursing school! Erin invited Madison to a few get togethers in college and they have been friends ever since. Erin always made sure to make sure to let Madison know when they were in town and stayed in touch since graduation. Recently, they have become better friends as they live in the same town and have a lot of the same interests. From home BBQs, game nights, girls margarita nights, church, and camping, Erin and Madison always have fun!

Lance and Paul became friends through hockey, while Lance was living with Nate he was able to meet Paul and they have been friends since. While Lance was living in Fort Collins he always knew that he could count on Paul for a good time, and many a good time was had by the two. There has been happy memories, and there has been scary and sad memories with the two, but I don't think either would change any of it for the world. At the wedding I imagine you will more then likely catch Paul and Lance running their mouths to each other followed by a ton of laughter.

Trent and Lance also played hockey together from a young age, but when Lance left for hockey the friendship or whatever you may call it ended there. Then when Lance came back for his final year of juniors he ended up getting a job with Trent working at Magna. Trent had worked in the oil field prior to this so he was very knowledgable. While Lance had zero idea of what he was doing. Luckily, Trent was willing to take the time to help Lance learn and then the friendship took off from there. There have been many fun memories between Lance and Trent, they have quite a few stories they've accumulated over the years!

Dalton (Mickey) tells a story back in the day that goes something along the lines of this. Lance had played checking hockey a couple years prior to being allowed to, so when it was time for kids his age to begin checking, Lance had already been doing so for a couple of years. Well at practice one night we they were doing a checking drill and Lance jumped the line to go against Mickey. Lance was not the nicest of young hockey players and took the liberty to try and blow Mickey up. From that point the relationship wasn't the greatest. But then Lance came back for his final year of juniors in Gillette. Lance and Dalton ended up sharing a row on the bus together and they found that they both shared a love for writing. From then on they were great friends!
