Maid of Honor
Growing up, I used to tell my sister that if she was mean to me, she wouldn’t be my maid of honor on my wedding day. Looks like she wasn’t so mean after all ;) Maddie is (and will always be) the person I call when I’m bored in the car, when I need a shoulder to cry on, or share exciting news with. I look up to her in the way she pursues her heart’s greatest desires, and I’m sooooo stoked that we get to live this wedding season together!
Best Man
Tim married my sister in 2019, but has been part of my family since high school. We’re a power duo on the Spikeball court and have yet to be dethroned. You can find Tim in the kitchen cheffing it up for his family or at the dining table demolishing fools while playing exploding kittens. He’s been a great role model on how to be a husband and a father. It is an honor to have him be my best man!

Sabrina is Nick’s oldest sister, who was described to me before I met her as “intense,” as Nick would say. When I met her, I thought she was so cool and nice! I was confused why Nick described her the way that he did... probably just the little brother still stirring up trouble ;) Sabrina is a wife, mom, and missionary for me to look up to. She’s been so helpful to answer all my questions about married life and wedding planning, and I’m lucky to have her as a sister!

The newest addition to the brotherhood. Tate Schluter is a man of many talents- he has recently embraced the redneck culture and has dove headfirst into all things outdoors, such as hunting and fishing. He has welcomed me into the Schluter family with open arms and I am honored to be his brother.
Bridesmaid
Noelle has been extremely welcoming to me since I first met her, and we have become friends throughout my time getting to know the Van Horn family. We bond over healthy eating, Madewell, whipped coffee, working out, and lake trips in the summer. Fun fact, Noelle was the one who took the photos when Nick proposed... she’s not even a professional! I’m excited to have Noelle as my friend and sister for the rest of my life!

I met Harry the second day of 6th grade when my mom told me there was a kid in the neighborhood that went to the same school as me. Without knowing who he was, I hoped on my bike and rode around the neighborhood screaming his name. He came out of the woods, wondering what all the commotion was about, and we’ve been best friends ever since. He and I have been through a lot together, and I truly love him like a brother.
Bridesmaid
Haley is like the little sister I never had! Like her older sisters, she was quick to welcome me into the family. She is sweet, thoughtful, and creative, and I’ve loved watching her grow up even in the small time I’ve known her. Haley is on her way to be a CSU ram next year, which makes me excited because it gives me a reason to keep visiting Fort Collins :)
Groomsman
Aiden and I met in 7th grade when he transferred to my middle school. His passions for videos of people injuring themselves, firearms, and building deadly inventions are both why I love him, and why I am slightly scared of him. Aiden and I have spent countless hours getting into trouble, whether it be scuba diving with a man-made diving helmet powered by a bike pump, or repelling down the laundry shoot and getting stuck; he and I were nothing but trouble. But in all seriousness, Aiden is one of the most sincere and genuine men that I’ve ever known.
Bridesmaid
I’ve known her since kindergarten, and we grew up going to dance class and ski school together. We spent a lot of our time together playing dress up in the basements, and today still share a love for pretty clothes. Years ago, Bella knew all about my hopes and dreams of one day marrying a cowboy, and now she gets to watch it happen. Bella is a lifelong friend who taught me to appreciate a good latte and a good glass of “vino,” and I am so lucky to have someone who watched me grow up be by my side on my big day!

I met Gogl’s wife on an airplane to a FOCUS conference a year before he and I ever met. I remember Jordan (his wife) telling me what a wonderful man her fiancé was. She wasn’t lying. A year later, Jordan and Andrew became missionaries at Colorado State University. What a coincidence! Andrew played an instrumental role in me pursuing Natalie, and has been my right hand man in all things dating, engagement, and married life. Gogl is a great example of a man willing to lay down his life for others and truly has a servant’s heart. With all that being said, he can’t catch a fish to save his life....

My spunky, creative, fashionista sidekick. We met in our high school theology class, and became friends in our sophomore year theater class. Our days together at Regis consisted of crushing on an interesting selection of boys, going to country concerts, accidentally matching outfits, and planning our college lives together since we were both going to CSU. In college, we joined Bible study together, and our friendship transformed into one centered on Christ. Natalie has seen me through it all, and is incredibly thoughtful in the way she loves me. She’s the kind of friend I can always turn to when things get hard, and I know she’ll always be there to cheer me on in life, no matter what season I’m in. I can’t wait for the memories to come with this girl!

I met Gus Gus my sophomore year of college when he was serving as a FOCUS missionary at the University of Missouri. Being that we were both from Colorado, we instantly bonded and became friends. Gus lived in the apartment building right across from mine. Often times, I'd come home from class and he'd be waiting on my couch to hang out, without giving any notice. He was probably at my apartment way more than his own. Gus has had a huge impact on my faith life and helped initiate my passion for missionary work. I really don't know where I would be without this man.
Bridesmaid
I met Katy on my very first day of college. She has been extremely influential in my life— she was the one who taught me how to live out my Catholic faith, and also modeled for me what a good and holy dating relationship should look like. She’s walked with me the past 5 years in faith and friendship, and I can truly say that I wouldn’t be the woman I am today without this woman! She’s engaged too... in fact, she is getting married one week after me! It’s exciting to share this season with her, and I’m looking forward to continue learning how to do life together as we navigate marriage in the years to come!

Heeby Jeeby. Dillon and I met during our freshman year Bible study at Mizzou. During Super Bowl 50, he was a hardcore bandwagon Broncos fan which helped initiate our friendship. Unfortunately, he has since renounced his loyalty to the team. Heeb enjoys a variety of activities which include fishing, golfing, camping, and attending country concerts. During our sophomore year, we went on a road trip from Missouri to Colorado. As we approached the front range, Heeb screamed for a solid 30 minutes about how big the mountains were. He is a good man, and is one of the most thoughtful and intentional friends I have.

Myla lived on the floor beneath me in the dorms at CSU, but really, our friendship began because she had a car and I needed a ride to mass. Myla and I have been in Bible study together since we were freshmen in college, and her friendship has helped me grow in faith in detrimental ways. From late night prayer hours to having dance parties while we clean, singing at the top of our lungs to being FOCUS missionaries together, this girl is FUN, and one day, I hope to be her neighbor. She also wins the award for Nick’s and my favorite third wheel. She’s down for whatever, and perseveres through anything and everything.

Bruiser and I met second semester of my freshman year at the University of Missouri while waiting to go on a retreat. He had hair down to his shoulders and was standing by a trash can all alone. My weird first impression of him was transformed when he and I bonded over football, spike ball, and our faith. He’s been there when I needed him most and is a great friend. Bruiser currently runs a trivia company at bars throughout Columbia Missouri, while also studying to be a lawyer. So, if you have any fun facts, hit him up.

We met when I was a freshman at CSU through Ram Catholic, and my junior year she was one of my roommates. I'd consider Alyssa to be a personal cheer leader... whether it was getting a job, passing a test, wanting a margarita, or going through sorority recruitment, she was always a source of encouragement. One of my favorite “cheer-leader” moments from Alyssa was the night Nick asked me on our first date. She was literally happy dancing and jumping up and down clapping, squealing uncontrollably. It was such an epic girl moment that I will cherish forever. I'm stoked to have her rooting for Nick & I for the rest of our lives!

Colton and I became friends when I went with him on an archery elk hunt in 2019. Though we were unsuccessful on the hunt, we bonded over the freezing cold temperatures while camping above tree line in the middle of a snowstorm. He’s become one of my closest friends and we walk together in discipleship at CSU. He’s got a good head on his shoulders and will always put other people’s needs above his own.
