The Future Browns
Wedding Party
Ellie Slater
Maid of Honor
I met Ellie in college and we instantly became inseparable. Some would say that we were a little co-dependent back then as we literally did everything together, but I wouldn't have changed a thing. We might still be a little dependent on each other as she's the only person I text every single day... all day long, but that's okay- she just gets me. Ellie has been there for me for some of the best days of my life and some of the hardest. I may not have been blessed with a sister by blood, but I am the luckiest person to have her as my sister by choice. I truly cannot imagine my life without Ellie. Love you always.
Jason Brown
Best Man
Jason is my older brother. He is not only a great brother but he has always supported me in my passions. I look up to him and admire how he has raised his family.
Lauren Gehring
Maid of Honor
Where do I start? How do I fit 17 years of friendship into a small paragraph? We started as neighbors back when we were 10 and look at us now. So many memories, too many to type, but all I can say is that I would not be the person I am today without this girl. Lauren Elizabeth- thank you. Thank you for always being the friend that gets it. That gets what I am thinking and feeling even when I don't know what I am feeling myself. Little Loen and Moen would be so proud of who we have become. love you lots and can't wait to see what we accomplish in the next 17 years.
Wrango West
Groomsman
Wrango is my brother in law. Him and Taran met when I was 12 years old so he's been in more than half my life. He is someone I look up to as a role model. One of the first memories I have with him is him giving me skiing equipment and to this day is the reason I love the sport.
Taran West
Bridesmaid
Taran is not only Keanan's favorite (only) sister, but she is also the purest soul I have ever met. Instantly after meeting Taran, I felt very at ease and was able to talk to her about some of my deepest feelings which is usually pretty hard for me. She has such a big heart and she always puts God first in all that she does; she is truly an admirable and amazing person. I am so thankful to finally be getting a sister, but I am even more thankful that it will be someone as wonderful as she is.
Elijah DuFour
Groomsman
Elijah and I go back 10 years+ and is someone I can talk to about anything. We share a lot of the same passions and have been able to build some pretty crazy experiences together. I feel fortunate to have a best friend and someone I can do business with as well. BINGO!
Taylor Karbowski
Bridesmaid
Taylor and I first met in preschool but then her family moved from Millard to Elkhorn after kindergarten. We were so young that we didn't even recognize each other when I later started school in Elkhorn a couple years later. Fast forward to middle school and we hit it off as friends again, so Taylor invited me over to hang out and I was looking at old pictures in her room and noticed that I was in one of them... a picture from preschool. Sometimes the world feels so big and then sometimes the world is so small, that you are destined to be friends with someone not just once but twice. Thankfully we turned that 2nd time into a lifelong friendship because I can't imagine my life without you now. The amount of memories, travel stories, and secrets we have shared are endless, but I cannot wait to share more in the future!
Johnny DuFour
Groomsman
I've known Johnny for 10+ years and he is someone I know I can trust with anything, he is one of my most reliable friends who I know I can always have a good time with. We have been roommates for a couple of years (In Montana and Arizona). He's always been there for me and is my undefeated cornhole partner!
Elizabeth Staab
Bridesmaid
Liz was my sorority twin in college, but honestly sometimes I think she is my twin in real life. In college the two of us would always be down for any adventure. One of my favorite adventures was after graduation when we drove across country to Chicago for a weekend and we were driving around downtown trying to find the parking garage and spent probably 2 hours of the 8 hour drive doing so... even though it was stressful, we had the most fun. Everything with Liz is always fun- her laugh and personality are contagious and are what make her one of the best friends you could ever have. Sometimes I think about what I would give to have one more weekend adventuring with my twin, but I know that even those college days are gone, you will always be my adventure buddy and now we can just take the boys with us to drive haha.
Cayden Roberson
Groomsman
Cayden (or the Choch) is the type of friend who would take the shirt off his back for me. We have been on some crazy adventures whether it's traveling across states to go sell something we know nothing about or meet tons of people and push me outta my comfort zone, Cayden is someone I know who is always down for a good time.
Maggie Young
Bridesmaid
Mags was my roommate when we lived in Kappa Delta together. You know how they say not to live with your best friend? Well for me, somehow it's always worked out well and I am so thankful for the time we had as roommates. Studying together, borrowing each other's clothes, eating takeout in her room, and watching Netflix together when we were sick... which if anyone knew us in college.. was unfortunately often haha, but thankfully we made it through together and always made the best of it. Maggie is one of the truest friends you can find, they truly don't make them like her very often. She was the first friend to visit me when I moved away from home and no matter how long time has passed between calls, we can always pick up where we left off. I am always thankful for my mags.
AJ Chadbourne
Groomsman
AJ is the type of friend where we can go the rodeo bars or pop bottles on a Monday for our "business lunch meetings." He is one of the most reliable people I know & trust, we enjoy going shooting or fishing and talking about MERICA'.
Kara Derr
Bridesmaid
Kara Murphy*** I am sorry Jake, but she is always Kmurph to me. Kara is my fashion sister. We always are on the same page when it comes to clothes, makeup, and hair. I love having someone I can talk to and share things with just like a real sister. Recently Kara and I drove 3 hours one way and back in a day to visit our friend Liz, and honestly I am not sure how many people I could spend 6 hours in a car talking to without getting bored or falling asleep, but we had the best time! I love how we can talk about anything and everything and always have the best time.
Nate Kelleher
Groomsman
Nate is a best friend that has been a big part of my life, we've had a lot of heart to heart talks and he's helped show me my value and given me solid principles to live by. When he moved to Montana, he had a rear two-wheel drive truck that always got stuck in the snow... it was always funny to me that he thought that was a good idea when moving to Montana.
Kelsey Carlson
Bridesmaid
Kelsey and I first became friends in college because we were always the two night owls together even when everyone else was being "boring," so after college we decided to move into together so would keep having fun and never become "boring adults," but instead once we were roommates we stayed in every night and would have wine and movie nights instead... so maybe we became those boring adults after all, but I wouldn't change a thing. I loved all of our nightly talks, heart to hearts, and memories shared. I know I can always count on you and I love getting to be apart of each other's big moments always.
Lance Fisher
Groomsman
Lance is one of my longest friends from my childhood, we met in 6th grade and he wrote: "Lets go fishing this summer" - Fireman, in my yearbook and I will never forget it. We've been through a lot of life together and he's always been there for me.
Dani Lamer
Bridesmaid
Dani and I became friends in college when we were on our sorority's council together. I know that a lot of times people that are super similar personality wise don't get along but for us I always think it helps us understand each other more. She is the same as me in so many ways - we both are type A, high stress, perfectionists, who like things a particular way and yes maybe not everyone gets us- but I am sure glad I have you to always understand me. Thank you for always pushing me to be the best version of myself, to not always take myself too seriously, and to pour the glass of wine after a long day.
Alex Benedetto
Groomsman
Alex and I go way back, I even lived at Alex's house for some time in high school for our summer job. Alex is a friend where no matter what happens I know he is there for me. We have had some fun memories together and though we live across the states from each other, it always seems as if we haven't missed a beat.
Natallia Vittetoe
Personal attendant
Natallia and I became friends back in high school when I was 16 and she was 15. She needed a ride to cheer practice one day and then I ended up driving her everyday after that. We became fast friends and did absolutely everything together. We've gone on a cruise, been to New York (2X), and gone to Arizona together and somehow we still like each other. I am so thankful to have such a pure friend in Natallia that I know I can always count on no matter what is going on in my life. Natallia is one of those people that at your lowest low and your highest high, she will love you and treat you the same no matter what. She has picked me up when I've been down more times than I can count, and I will always be grateful to have her around.
Spencer Caniglia
Personal attendant
Little baby spence. Spencer was my little in Kappa Delta and I may be biased but we were the absolute best big and little pair (shush don't tell anyone else). Often times it's the role of the big to teach the little how to navigate college and life, but for us it was often the other way around. Spencer taught me so much more than I could ever teach her. She is the strongest person I know and I am so blessed to know her. She truly makes the world a more beautiful place and I am so thankful to have her as a friend.
