Wedding Party

Charlie (Kirsten) Colby

Bridesmaid

Hello! My name is Charlie, although growing up many of you knew me as Kirsten. Currently, I’m studying in an undergraduate biology program at UCCS. Megan’s been my best friend since before I can remember, and it’s been a blessing growing up beside her. She’s become a remarkable young woman. I first met Bala in person this past summer, and although a little shy, his sincerity toward Megan was a wonderful thing to witness.

Hi, My name is Nilla! You can usually find me chasing my next adventure, creating art, working, or spending time with friends. I am honored to be part of such a special day and to celebrate as a bridesmaid. Megan and I have been friends since 14 years old. Over the years, she never fails to make me laugh, no matter how down I am. She truly lights up every room she walks into. I can not wait to celebrate Megan and Bala! They truly bring out the best in each other, and it has been beautiful to witness their journey so far. See you all in May 2026! 🎉💕
