Wedding Party
Kaitlin Raskob
Maid of Honor
Although technically second cousins, Kaitlin and I grew up more like sisters - fists fights over the TV remote and all! She has always been the coolest person I know. Through middle school I copied everything she did, including wearing her hand me downs by. choice. Kait always let her weird younger cousin (me) tag along with her friends and almost never called me annoying to my face! From playing mermaids in the pool to standing next to each other on our respective wedding days, I am so lucky to have had Kaitlin by my side!! Although we’re lucky if we get to see each other twice a year, we’ll always be sisters ❤️
Leah Wahl
Bridesmaid
Leah and I met at 18 while working as counselors at Camp Nicolet the summer before we started college. I can’t help but look back on who we were when we met and giggle. We have both grown and changed so much over the last decade, Leah doesn’t even live in this country anymore!? It has been such a joy to have gone through so many stages of life together. Leah is my funniest and most adventurous friend by far. Last summer, we spent 8 days backpacking in the Italian Dolomites together and never once ran out of material to talk about. That’s how it’s been since day 1; I know that I’m a better friend and person because of her. She cares so deeply about the people she loves that I can feel it from 5,800 miles away (distance from Denver to Bucharest lol). She is never afraid to hash out a difficult conversation and I’ve learned so much about myself through my friendship with her!
Ellen Martinson
Bridesmaid
Ellen and I met as wee babes at Camp Nicolet. At 11, we were placed in a cabin together at summer camp and had no idea that a lifetime of friendship was in front of us. We spent so many summers together camping, singing, and skinny dipping in Franklin Lake as both campers and counselors. Clearly there’s no better place to build a bond than at summer camp, we’ve been friends for over 15 years! Ellen is a superhuman athlete (she’s done a triathlon) and one of the most empathetic and caring people I know. She’s my favorite person to commiserate with over the state of the world, and I always feel like I’ve learned something after we chat. Being friends with Ellen makes me cooler and smarter, and I think that should be the goal of friendships!!
Rachel Perry
Bridesmaid
If you’re looking for friends that have seen each other at their worst and laughed through it together, look no further. My friendship with Rachel might have been born in a fraternity basement but the we have blossomed and grown together through all the ups and downs of life. Keeping college friendships after graduation is hard, especially when you’re on totally different paths like us, but it’s friendships like this that are worth working for! I’ve admired Rachel for so many reasons over the course of our decade long friendship—she can tell the hell out of a story and will always fight for the underdog. My favorite thing about our friendship is that no matter how long it’s been between visits, I know that from the second we say hello to the second we say goodbye, we’ll be yapping ❤️ Rachel is the friend that you can tell anything to without fear of judgement, and I’ve been so lucky for so long!!
Gaby Fox
Bridesmaid
I can’t believe how lucky I got with a sister-in-law like Gaby!!!! She’s the first one I turn to when I need a coffee recommendation or to talk shit about my soon to be husband (we all do it). I know that if Gaby is involved, whatever it might be, it’s going to be incredible. She can do anything she puts her mind to, and it constantly amazes me how driven and talented she is. She’s also the only other person who understands what it’s like to marry into the Fox family and because of that we became fast friends on family vacations and trips to California. Constantly rolling our eyes together and giggling as the boys bickered was bonding! So much so, that it isn’t uncommon for people to assume we were friends first and happened to manifest shared in-laws. We are powerful, but not quite that magical.
Michael Fox
Best Man
He is my brother.
Hayden Jackson
Groomsman
Hayden was my first friend in college, and we met in the best way possible. Hayden lived down the hall from me in our dorm, as I was bringing things to my dorm room Hayden had his door open and every time I passed we would make eye contact, started with a simple head nod, then progressed to saying what's up to each other to then by the 5th trip we were full blown friends and planning what we were going to grab for dinner that night together. I lived with Hayden the rest of college, at times wishing I didn't because he doesn't know how to properly flush a toilet but overall he was a great roommate and friend.
Ian Donlon
Groomsman
Referred to as Don Lon/ THE Don Lon/ The Mighty Don Lon. Don Lon is that one friend that you just want to hate so bad but you can't help but to love him. Don Lon lived across the hall from me freshman year and was a die hard Boston sports fan so by nature didn't like him already. However decided to keep living with him and room at the vineyard together which turned into one of the best decisions. Although I lost a bet to him to wear a Red Sox jersey when the Red Sox beat the yankees in the postseason in 2018, the same jersey he wore when he squirted a lime into his eye (on purpose) taking a tequila shot, I am forever grateful to have lived across the hall from room 18 and Don Lon.
Garrett Goodrich
Groomsman
I met Garrett in the second grade, he was my second friend at a new school (shoutout Katie for being the first). Garrett and I were best friends through elementary and middle school and stayed in touch as we went to different high schools. Even through college every time I was back from Arizona Garrett and I made sure to meet up. Garrett and I have our shared responsibilities in making simple things much more difficult for each other, most recently I got Garrett too drunk at his own bachelor party and almost caused Garrett to miss his own dinner he had planned for us all, not my fault he is a lightweight.
Daniel Stuart
Groomsman
Or as he is often referred to now, DSTU! Daniel and I have known each other since little league but did not become friends until high school when we played on the tennis team together and Michael and the other seniors graduated leaving us with no one but each other. Dstu is another friend who we have kept in constant contact throughout all of life’s changes including going off to college. Dstu has the unique distinction as being the only non family member to visit us in Montana which I am certain he regrets. He also came out to UofA twice to visit, one time being to celebrate my 21st birthday in which he ended the night falling asleep on the kitchen floor of our college house.
Nick Occhino
Groomsman
Nick and I became friends over both being stupid enough to major in Math and taking classes together all through college. I spent more time freshman year hanging out in Nicks dorm room than I did in my own, whether it was Nick kicking my ass in NHL, Call of Duty or Madden I was always coming back for more forcing him to be my friend. Then we got to suffer through all our proofs classes together. Nick is also the one that told Lex our senior year to figure it out and stop playing around and to actually be serious about us being together, so if it wasn't for Nick who knows if we would even be here today, everyone buy Nick a drink so he can end up looking like this picture of him
