Brit & Ryan | 5.17.2019
Wedding Party
Connie & Al Morris
Parents of the Bride
Brittney's parents, Connie and Al Morris, reside in beautiful Southern California. In their spare time, these two love traveling the world together and making cherished memories on the ski slopes. Growing up, Brittney is especially grateful to have witnessed such an example of love without limits and the importance of marrying your best friend. Brittney's passion for organization, holistic health, and communication are no accident. Ryan and Brittney are extremely grateful for Connie & Al's generosity as hosts of their big day, making the couple's dream wedding a reality. Brittney and Ryan look forward to sharing this experience with their children someday.
Becky & Bob Hess
Parents of the Groom
Ryan's mother Becky and his stepdad Bob reside in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. When Ryan thinks of his childhood, he is grateful for the timeless lessons they taught him about family values, patience, and compassion. Becky and Bob inspired Ryan's impeccable green thumb and enthusiasm for cooking, both of which he now shares with Brittney. Ryan and Brit are overwhelmed with gratitude for Becky & Bob's contribution to their big day, as hosts of the Welcome Dinner in Mexico (Thursday, May 16th, 2019). Brittney and Ryan look forward to sharing this experience with their children someday.
Grandma Karen
Unofficial, Official Wedding Coordinator
Brittney's grandmother is not only brains, beauty, and wit, but she can sure coordinate a wedding. Anything Brit & Ryan needed a hand with while wedding planning, Grandma Karen was the first to offer assistance. Brittney raves that this experience wouldn't be the same without her.
Keith & Deb McGuire
Parents of the Groom
Ryan's father Keith and his stepmom Deb live on a beautiful farm in Sioux Falls where they run the family business, Performance Plus Arabians. Ryan cherishes his childhood memories of traveling in their semi working at horse shows around the country. Keith and Deb taught him the value of hard work and inspired him to never give up on his dreams.
Rachael Ostrea
Maid of Honor
Rachael & Brittney have been best friends since the moment they met on the first day of kindergarten. Both the oldest of two younger brothers, they are sisters to one another. These two can be found laughing hysterically (for reasons only they understand), traveling with their guys, or discussing extravagant plans for the neighboring mansions they will raise many children and too many animals in together.
RP McGuire
Best Man
Ryan has always looked up to his older brother RP (although today, Ryan might be little taller)! These guys are not only family, but the very best of friends. If you can't get ahold of Ryan or RP, it's because they are on the phone with each other discussing anything from world domination to the weather.
Riana Erickson
Bridesmaid
The day Riana was born, Brittney not only gained a cousin, but a life-long best friend. As soon as Riana could walk, it was endless adventures of orchestrating family musicals, sleep-away camps, and believing they were real life Disney princesses (because they are, duh!). Brittney had the time of her life being a Maid of Honor for Riana's wedding, and can't wait to share this amazing experience with her best friend.
Ben Wehrkamp
Groomsman
BenBill and RyGuy met on first day of middle school. Soon after, Ryan made himself an unofficial member of Ben's family, calling the Wehrkamp household his home away from home. Ryan looks forward to introducing his future kids to their "Uncle Ben" and starting the next generation of adventures together.
Katie Fischer
Bridesmaid
Kate & Brit met through their sorority, Delta Gamma at CU Boulder in 2009. Although they weren't the most enthusiastic of their "sorority sisters", they found a life-long sister in each other. Many perfect memories, travel plans, and late-night chats later, these two are connected at the heart. Brittney looks forward to being a bridesmaid for Katie later this year!
Austin Preheim
Groomsman
Austin and Ryan lived on the same floor in the dorms during their freshman year in college and have been best friends since. There is something magical about a life-long friendship founded on a passion for World of Warcraft, pizza, and having a great time- no matter where you are.
Erin Kolar
Bridesmaid
Although they became best friends in 2000 as neighbors in California, Erin and Brit found each other again in Colorado for college. Endless memories of gossipy jogs around town, concerts at Red Rocks, and heart-to-heart discussions over a glass of wine, best friends forever means just that.
Blake Morris
Groomsman
Being the youngest of four, Ryan always wanted a little brother and he instantly found that in Blake. When these guys are hanging out, be sure to send them with a phone charger because they are known to get lost for hours on the ski slopes, or on the jeep trails!
Channing Broderick
Bridesmaid
When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade and drink it with Chan. Just barely missing each other by one day as employees for a Denver tech company, the universe wouldn't settle until these two became best friends. When they finally met a few months later, it was a best friendship match made in heaven. Brittney looks forward to being a bridesmaid for Channing later this year!
Jordan Schumacher
Groomsman
Jordan was Ryan's favorite freshman to haze in their college fraternity. The two became best friends in 2016 when Jordan and his wife Paige moved to Colorado. Now, every week is spent with their ladies and pups, who are also best friends.
Sophia Wolf
Bridesmaid
First class, first day of college, Soph & Brit sat across the room from each other. After a few ridiculous remarks and audible laughs at the professor's expense, they knew they would be best friends forever. Brittney and Sophia are still found laughing uncontrollably, dancing like there's no tomorrow, and being everything spirit animal.
David Ostrea
Groomsman
Naturally, David and Ryan immediately bonded over the shared experience of comprehending Rachael and Brittney's shenanigans. After many family vacations to California, Colorado, Nevada, Jamaica, and more, Brit and Rach would say the roles have reversed trying to keep up with Ry Guy and Deputy Dave.
Cassandra Garcia
Bridesmaid
These cousins not only share an undeniable love for extended family traditions, but they share an amazing, life-long friendship with one another. Bonding over being the best "Maid Of Honor Duo" for Riana's wedding, they are now closer than ever.
Dylan Morris
Groomsman
Dylan is one of Brittney's little bros and now, one of Ryan's buds. Both entrepreneurial at heart, these guys instantly bonded over their unique taste for grungy, underground dubstep and their love for golf.
Paige Schumacher
Bridesmaid
Paige & Brit met through their dudes, Jordan & Ryan. Claiming the official title of godmother to each others fur children, they quickly built a close friendship founded on weekly family dinner parties, a mutual love for travel, and experiencing the best of Colorado.
Aaron Jundt
Groomsman
From roommates in college, to roommates in Colorado, Aaron & Ryan love everything from studying human psychology to sports, & having a good time.
