Bride & Groom
Enough about us! Meet the incredible people who will be a part of our wedding ceremony...
Officiant
Mark has been an important part of our story from the very beginning. As Marlee's uncle, he has known her her entire life, and he has known Jaret for nearly the entirety of our relationship. Throughout the years, he has been a trusted source of guidance, support, and encouragement. His influence has shaped Marlee both personally and professionally, and his warmth and wisdom have meant so much to both of us. We are incredibly honored to have him officiate our wedding and help us begin this next chapter together.
Maid of Honor
Jacqueline is Marlee's younger sister and our Maid of Honor. She's funny, sassy, and never afraid to say exactly what's on her mind (which keeps all of us humble). Over the years, she's become one of Jaret's favorite people, officially accepting him as the older brother she never asked for. Whether she's making us laugh, cry, or fear for our safety, we are never bored when Jacqueline is around. We couldn't imagine celebrating this day without her.
Bridesman
Jonathan has been one of Marlee's closest friends since 2016, and their friendship has remained strong through years of long-distance living, life changes, and countless memories. No matter where life has taken them, he has always been a constant source of support, laughter, and friendship. Over the years, he has become an important part of both of our lives, and we are so grateful. As our only bridesman, Jonathan holds a truly special place among those standing with us on our wedding day, and we are honored to celebrate with him by our side.
Bridesmaid
Marlee and Marie went to college together, but it took becoming roommates during a study abroad program in Sydney, Australia for them to become best friends. You will notice a trend that Marie has brought almost all of Marlee's incredible bridesmaids into our lives. Marie had a front-row seat to the beginning of our relationship and has stayed seated ever since. Along with being Marlee's best friend, she's become one of Jaret's closest friends, and we're so excited to have her in our wedding party.
Bridesmaid
Shannon has been one of the most important people in Marlee’s life for over a decade. After meeting in college in Boulder, their friendship grew even stronger when they became roommates during a study abroad program in Australia. What started as an incredible adventure turned into a lifelong friendship built on trust, loyalty, and countless unforgettable memories. Shannon has a rare gift for finding humor in every situation, and some of Marlee’s happiest memories are simply the two of them laughing until they can’t breathe. Even though she now lives in Austin, she has remained a constant presence in Marlee’s life, celebrating the joyful moments and providing unwavering support through the difficult ones. She has always known exactly when to show up, what to say, and how to make things feel a little lighter. Over the years, she has become such a special part of both of our lives, and we are so grateful to have her standing by our side as we begin this next chapter together.
Bridesmaid
Kat and Marlee became fast friends in college, and their friendship has only grown stronger through the years. From unforgettable adventures traveling through New Zealand to celebrating our engagement, Kat has been a constant source of support, laughter, and encouragement. Now living in New York and serving as a public defense attorney, she brings the same compassion, dedication, and integrity to her work that she brings to her friendships. Kat is one of the most loyal and kind-hearted people we know, and we are so grateful to have her in our wedding party.
Bridesmaid
Katherine and Marlee became friends during their senior year of college, and their friendship has grown stronger with each passing year. Living near each other in Denver for the past several years has meant sharing countless celebrations, adventures, and everyday moments that have made Katherine such an important part of Marlee’s life. Her friendship has been a steady source of support, laughter, and encouragement through many seasons of life. Over the years, Katherine has also become a wonderful friend to Jaret, earning his trust on more than one occasion while caring for his beloved plants when we’ve been away. We are so grateful for her friendship and feel incredibly lucky to have her standing by our side on our wedding day.
Bridesmaid
Megan first met Marlee through Marie during their senior year of college, and it didn’t take long for the two of them to form a friendship that would become one of Marlee’s most treasured. After graduation, they became roommates in Boulder, where Megan’s unwavering support, thoughtful nature, and easy presence helped make the transition into adulthood feel a little less daunting. Since then, they’ve had the chance to continue doing life side by side in Denver which made their friendship even more meaningful. Megan has an incredible gift for making the people around her feel seen, valued, and cared for, and her kindness touches everyone lucky enough to know her. We feel so fortunate to call her our friend and are incredibly grateful to have her standing with us as we celebrate our wedding day. Fun fact: Megan and Jaret met first at Arapahoe High School (go warriors!).
Bridesmaid
Natalie and Marlee met through Marie during their senior year of college, and what began as a new friendship quickly became one filled with laughter, adventure, and countless reasons to celebrate. Over the past several years, living near each other in Denver has made it easy to turn ordinary moments into unforgettable ones, thanks in no small part to Natalie’s contagious enthusiasm for life. She has a way of making every gathering more fun, every milestone more exciting, and every friend feel genuinely appreciated. After spending the past several months traveling throughout Europe, we couldn’t have been more excited to welcome her home. Natalie’s joyful spirit and infectious energy make her such a special part of both of our lives, and we feel incredibly lucky to have her standing by our side as we celebrate this next chapter.
Bridesmaid
Emma and Marlee met through Marie during their senior year of college, and what started as a new friendship quickly became one Marlee could always count on. After graduation, they spent so much time together while living near each other in Boulder, creating memories during a season of life filled with new beginnings. Through every high and low, Emma has been a loyal, dependable friend. She’s always ready to listen, offer encouragement, or simply show up when it mattered most. She also has an unmatched ability to make an entire room laugh, bringing warmth, joy, and a sense of fun wherever she goes. Having Emma by our side on our wedding day means so much to both of us, and we couldn't imagine celebrating this moment without her.
Bridesmaid
Hannah met Marlee through Marie after moving to Denver in 2020 to attend law school, and it didn’t take long for her to feel like she had always been part of the group. With her quick wit, genuine warmth, and ability to make everyone feel welcome, Hannah has a way of bringing people together wherever she goes. Her intelligence and ambition are matched only by her kindness, and she approaches every friendship with generosity, thoughtfulness, and an infectious sense of humor. Having Hannah stand beside us on our wedding day is such a meaningful reflection of the friendship we've built together, and we couldn't be happier to celebrate with her.
