Heather & Paul
Wedding Party
Elaina Yates
Matron of Honor
I am so excited to stand beside Heather as her MOH. Heather was my first friend in OT school and my craft-beer-drinking-partner-in-procrastination throughout the program. Although our history only dates back 8 years, we have what seems like a lifetime of memories. Our friendship is made up of new beginnings, awkward moments, and occasional moments of maturity. I love the fact that, despite the distance and time between us, our friendship picks up exactly where it left off with a single call or text. I can’t wait to celebrate, and make more memories, with Heather and Paul this October!

Paul met me when I was born. We're bros. Because we are almost 10 years apart, by the time I knew what life was about, I also knew my bro was the coolest person in it. Now I'm 29, live in San Diego with my wife Samantha, like to ride bikes and travel the southwest. Fast forward to the present where Paul and the values he helped to instill in my life still guide me. The most amazing thing is that he has found someone who shares the same drive, and the same passion for family both in a strict sense and also in a greater communal sense. Someone who is and will always be young at heart just like Paul. I've come to know this about Heather from when I first met her, and its because she goes to more Ballweber family dinners and parties than me.

Bridesmaid
Hello! I am sister to the Groom, Bridesmaid to Heather, and Aunt to Jasper! I am 25, live in Fort Collins with my boyfriend of 6 years Tyson and LOVE LIFE! Paul has always been an influence for me in life. My fondest memories with Paul revolve around soccer; as a coach, as teammates, to the summers in Crested Butte playing ball! Heather came into our lives three years ago; I remember meeting her like it was yesterday. We enjoyed beer and soccer together and for me if she can do that with my family and friends then she is a keeper. I was one excited little sister when Paul told me his plan to pop the question to Heather – and even more excited that he asked me to be a part of it! I am excited for Paul and Heather to dive into this next chapter of their lives.

Hello, I’m Dain Lyngstad and Paul’s cousin from Minnesota. I’m was born in Colorado and Paul was my 1st brah, (hey brah). Some of my earliest and most fond memories, whether in Minnesota or Colorado, included Paul. Going fishing in northern Minnesota to Garden of the Gods. I’m an outdoors kind-of-guy and love to fish and hunt ducks. I’m a Veteran of the world’s finest Navy. And I have a daughter, Lillietta who is 8 years old. I’m happy to be part of the wedding and could not be more delighted for Paul and Heather.

Heather came into my life a couple months into my first OT job. Heather walked into our facility with a great big smile on her face with a friendly and excited attitude. We were taken to lunch as part of her interview and knew at that moment that we would be great friends. The thing I remember most was our No Filter Fridays and the chair dances(the laughter was always out of control). Another big moment in our friendship is when a bouquet of flowers showed up on Heather's desk. The minute I saw those flowers I knew this guy was going to be a keeper. Paul and I have met plenty of times since then and have also become great friends. Heather and Paul have always been there for me and I always have a great time with both of them. I cannot wait to be apart of their special day!

I have been friends with Paul for quite some time. Paul used worked at a local print shop that my dad used for his business. Paul, being the friendly guy he is, extended an invitation (via my dad) for me to play on his soccer team. Me, being a recent college graduate, jumped at the chance to get back out on the field. From that invitation on, Paul and I have seen many a puck drop at CC games, indulged in one or two beers at some local watering holes, and played soccer on some of the most beautiful fields in Colorado. I am excited and honored to be a part of his and Heather’s special day, and look forward to creating many more great memories with these two!

Bridesmaid
I am Paul's sister (from another mister, literally!) hailing from Chicago, and future sister-in-law to Heather. Growing up, I always admired Paul and thought of him as such a cool guy. Paul took me to me first concert to see Reel Big Fish. I know dragging your 14-year-old sister to a concert when you're in college was probably not ideal, showing you what a great older brother he has always been. It was Christmas 2016 when Paul brought Heather for a visit and I could tell when I saw them together that this relationship was significant. I was even more excited when Heather and I had an instant connection. I am so honored to be a bridesmaid and part of Heather and Paul's big day. It's been wonderful to see how happy my big brother is and I am ecstatic to have a sister! Congratulations!

When I finally made the move to Colorado 6 years ago, I was fortunate enough that I was put in touch with Paul to break into the soccer circle here. Over the years I have been lucky to have Paul there for me through many ups and downs, several life changing events and too many fun moments to count. He is single-handedly one of the most genuine, truly good people I've ever met. I couldn't feel more privileged to stand next to him as he takes the plunge into the next phase of his life with Heather (who is obviously way out of his league - how he tricked her I've still yet to find out) as they journey forward into a singular life. We are very grateful to have the two of them in our lives and look forward to a lifetime of more memories.
