Katelynn & Paul
Wedding Party
Katelynn Schultz
Bride
(PL) Katelynn often asks me why I asked her out. It had to be her beautiful blue eyes . . . and her bright smile . . . and her quick whit and retorts which continue to become sharper and funnier each day . . . and her creative nature with her piano playing or crafting or photography . . . and her zoom-zooming down the slopes as we cruise the blues on the mountains . . . and her desire to bask in the outdoors as we travel along the trails and rivers . . . but mostly it is her eyes . . . and smile . . . and . . .
Paul LeClere
Groom
How to describe Paul... Sarcastic, for one. Adept in literal humor, for another. Have I mentioned his penchant for Monthy Python bits? But, on to his more adorable qualities: he's funny, a good storyteller, and a great shoulder to lean on, especially when the rest of the world is too much (he gives great cuddles, too). He's the ground to my kite, the calm to my energy, the logic to my passion. And, he loves Addie to boot (though we all know who her favorite is). Part South Korean (love you, Sun!), life is definitely more entertaining and less lonely with him around, especially when he decides to be sweet and sour. Expressed by countless people, Paul is truly a good guy.
Sarah Nelson
Maid of Honor
One of my first friends in college, we worked dishline together. She thought I was annoying at first, but soon I won her over with my charms and we then became known as The Tic-Tacs! We have shared a few music classes together (Professor Survilla, we miss you), friends (one of which mooned me on my birthday while I was on the phone with my mom), and many, many drunken nights watching Disney movies. My sister from another mister, we are so excited to have Sarah with us!
Eugene Smith
Best Man
(PL) What can one say about Eugene that has not already been addressed by the Ministry of Silly Walks? Simply put, he has the Touch, he has the Power. Yeah! Eugene and I met in the summer of 2010 at orientation for Aspen's 5 Star / 5 Diamond property and we have been reducing guest satisfaction scores ever since. We share a joy of the mountain slopes, the jeep trails, cinematic masterpieces, quality laughs, and the occasional glass of spirits. He means so much to me that I would give my right wrist for his continued friendship and amazing white leather shoes.
Amanda Bonjour
Bridesmaid
We met in college in one of our Business classes. This particular class was boring and it wasn't really put together well. We suffered together. From there, that friendship blossomed through memes, geeky interests, and sarcastic humor. One of my closest friends and confidants, we are so very blessed and excited to have her with us on this special day.
Eric Rystedt
Groomsman
(PL) Here is a gentleman that you always want amongst your circle of friends. The Mayor is down to earth yet socially outgoing. Very intelligent and always aware of his audience so the conversations just flow like wine. Willing to lend a hand in most every situation which led him (and us on occassion) into moving various friends across the nation. I have friends that I can call great and those that I can call good. Eric is one that I can call family - he truly is a brother from another mother.
Casandra Rodriguez
Bridesmaid
We met in Colorado: one of the first friends in this rugged land for me. We met through a mutual friend at a girls' night, and we've been close ever since. A regular at "Girls' Night," Casandra helps get me out of the house, is a blast to ride the mountain with, and is always fun to be around (especially if there is Matcha Tea, Rosé, or Tequila involved). Casandra is such a bright light in our lives and we are so happy that she will share these moments with us.
Greg Foutz
Groomsman
(PL) Greg traveled from Pittsburgh to Snowmass to hone his craft as a computer geek at the Silvertree Hotel where he met me and I have been begging for forgiveness ever since. Greg introduced me to the joy of Jeeping. We have spent nights in his apartment drunkenly singing as the iPod shuffled along. We were chief participants in Sig Tau Fire Soccer. We, along with a couple other friends, decided to spend Superbowl weekend in Vegas on 4 hours of sleep for the entire trip. He has been the pilot on many of our most fun adventures and I am honored that he would be a co-pilot on this day with me.
Leah Arthur
Bridesmaid
Leah is the bright, supportive friend, the kind that everyone needs at least one of. She's always posting empowering memes that are blessedly enlightening, or cute photos that you can't help but smile at. Her love of life is infectious (in a good way!). She was with me when I got my cartilage pierced on Outfly, and somehow convinced me to join Student Center Council, the only club I was part of in college. An absolute joy, we are so thankful she will be with us.
Riley Risberg
Groomsman
(PL) A bond that truly has stood the test of time we have been close friends since we were running around the school playground. From football to band (concert, jazz, pep, marching) to school plays to yearbook staff to literally running into the walls - where one was the other was never far behind. Along with Nathan we three amigos would tool around with our camcorders in the pursuit of quality humor but as Riley's dad would say, we were off doing dumb stuff which is why we called our home video collection "Dumb Stuff Only". When it was his wedding day, he asked me stand with him and in return I am honored that he will stand with me at mine.
Addie
Fluffernugget
Can't forget about Addie! The light of our lives, our little cuddlebug (as I write this, she is softly whining and being a cute brat). Barks at animals on the TV, takes protecting the apartment very seriously and always lets us know when she has not had enough belly rubs. Mama is her favorite (ask Paul about how he gets her to go on walks without Mama) but we all know that she loves Dad, too (though maybe not quite as much). We are so blessed to have her in our lives.
