Caitlin & Nick
Wedding Party
Emily Ratliff
Maid of Honor
Emily is my big sister (from Caitlin, the bride). We grew up swimming and sandbox playing in the spring and summer, non-stop soccer in the fall, and an obsession with all things snow-related in the winter. Emily has helped shape me to be the person I am today. I was lucky enough to have a built-in best friend for a sister! She lives in Colorado with her husband, Andrew and their two dogs.
Colleen Aiello
Bridesmaid
Colleen... She is the best cousin anyone could ask for. She and I (Caitlin) grew up doing most everything together. We went through old photos and there are only a handful that we weren't in the same picture. She has supported and encouraged me, been the best roommate, and I wouldn't change a single thing about her. Colleen currently lives in Loveland, Ohio and has a love for all things Star Wars.
Alex Hammons
Best Man
Alex is my big little brother who has always been there for me. We spent most of our youth together, playing Legos, Micro Machines, and GI Joe. I can't say I was always (or often) a great older brother, but I couldn't ask for a better brother than him in return. He's a excellent example of a young professional gentleman. Alex lives in Loveland, OH and is an wonderful father figure to Juneau, his happy husky pup. - Nick
Andrew Ratliff
Groomsman
Andrew is my very own brother-in-law who's always up for outdoor adventure! A native Coloradan (Coloradoan? Colorodite?) who also spent some time living in my homeland, the great Commonwealth of Kentucky, as well as on the Perfect North ski patrol. He's the alpha male in the Ratliff wolf-pack that includes two friendly furry pals, Ringo and Kodi. - Nick
Patty Johnson
Mother of the Bride
My mom is the strongest and smartest person I have ever know. From teaching me math through baking or colors through M&Ms, she has always instilled me with a craving to learn new things (often from unexpected sources). On our countless car rides to and from various soccer activities, I got to know her not only as my mom but also as a friend. I couldn't do anything without her love and support.
Steve Johnson
Father of the Bride
My Dad is the most wonderful and resilient person I've ever known. He is the rock that helps hold all of us together. Always quick with a laugh and slow to anger, Dad has shown me how to be the person I have always dreamed of being. He is the reason I always want a chocolate shake when I am not feeling well, why I enjoy skiing as much as I do, and why I love western movies when it rains. I couldn't begin to tell how much he means to me!
Sandi Hammons
Mother of the Groom
Sandi is the walking, talking Wonder Woman role model. Airline pilot, small business owner, ski patroller, and above all Mom. She gave me the drive to set goals in my life and and the inspiration to accomplish them. She is always there when I need a quick dose of life advice. Little did I know it then, but her joining ski patrol led me down the road to find my lovely wife, Caitlin. - Nick
Dan Hammons
Father of the Groom
Dan is the epitome of Harmony that binds a family together. I'm so proud to call him my father. From him I learned the hard work and sacrifice it takes to make the best for your family. Always ready to lend a helping hand and listen to how your day went, he is the family man that I want become some day. - Nick
