Wedding Party

Check back for photos and backgrounds to be added :)

Celeste Belletire

Maid of Honor

Celeste and Maddie met at the University of Arizona, in their shared Chemical Engineering courses. They were immediately inseparable spending many late nights studying at Coffee X Change, hiking, baking, and road tripping. On one of these road trips with Celeste through New Mexico, Maddie allegedly got her only speeding ticket. They were separated across the country for a handful of years after college, but then Celeste moved to SLC in 2018, landing only a couple blocks away from Maddie! Much to Celeste's husband Adam's delight! Catch them collecting plants, on a trail somewhere drinking Cuban rum at 12,750 ft, or baking 1000 Christmas cookies! Friends Since: 2011 Nicknames: Celestial, Kitten

Chelsea Connolly

Bridesmaid

Chelsea is Maddie's older sister. As they were growing up, she'd hold Maddie down and let her spit drip down almost touching Maddie's face before slurping it back up. Chelsea allegedly gave Maddie her first illegal drink, which was a Three Olives grape vodka shot. Maddie blames her only poor Uber rating on that one time Chelsea took Maddie and her friend Erin to tailgate a Christmas Eve Seahawks game. You can hear her laugh long before you ever see her. Legend has it, she's always on a boat somewhere! Friends Since: Once they stopped annoying each other, when Maddie was probably 18 Nickname: Sister

Chelsea Lindholm

Bridesmaid

Chelsea and Maddie met on a University of Arizona Ski & Snowboard club trip to Wolf Creek when Chelsea brought squeezee koolaids into the party hot tub. They were instantly attached and snowboarded all weekend. At the end of the trip, when they exchanged phone numbers, Maddie recognized Chelsea's BUFFALO area code, where Maddie was born and her parents and relatives are from! They would go on more snowboard trips, spend many study sessions together (eat gyoza/paint nails), attend AZ pool parties, and road trip to San Diego. Friends Since: Winter 2010/2011 Nicknames: Keisha, Panda

Erin Anderson

Bridesmaid

Erin and Maddie met in in middle school, being ballers on the Meridian basketball team. In high school they adventured on a Eurotrip and also flew airplanes together in aviation ground school, terrorizing their poor instructor. Erin once dyed Maddie's hair black which never washed out, much to Suzanne Connolly's dismay. They had many sleepovers, Maddie's 1st legal Canadian drink & 1st legal US drink, and even got their belly buttons pierced together on half-off Tuesdays in Missoula, much to Marc Connolly's dismay. Maddie loves crashing all Anderson family events. Friend since: 2004 Nickname: Love Turtle

Mary Boyle

Bridesmaid

Mary and Maddie met in high school, playing 4 years of rugby together (2nd & 5th in the nation, and captains!), and walked together across the graduation stage. They once allegedly were asked to step out of the vehicle by cops for 'stealing' traffic cones while in full ninja clothing and face paint. You could catch them at many Seattle music and summer festivals. Fun fact, Mary and Maddie actually crossed paths in 6th grade! Maddie played in the Sunrise Elementary steel drum band that would travel and play for other schools. "We always hated those steel drum band kids," -Mary Boyle Friends since: 2006 Nickname: Shmaaaaaaaryiummmuh

Tatiena Smith

Bridesmaid

Tatiena and Maddie met in Salt Lake City, after a mutual friend told each of them they needed to meet and would weirdly love each other. Tatiena initiated and invited Maddie to a mansion party, where instead of mingling they lurked around the house and found a Harry Potter closest with ice cream! Tatiena introduced Maddie to glorious Alaska and New Orleans. They've played Wednesday pick-up beer league kickball in Talkeetna! Tatiena famously squatted Maddie at Sugarhouse's A-frame 'The Bar'. Whether she's passing through SLC for a little or a long time, Tatiena always finds Maddie for coffee at the Red Moose. Friends since: 2014 Nickname: Tittyzagna
