Rae & Will
Wedding Party
Kelly Balfanz
Maid of Honor
Kelly and Rae grew up skiing together in Colorado. They then went to MSU together and were roommates through graduation. Kelly and Rae have been friends for over 10 years, and still don't have an appropriate photo together.
Sophie Harder
Bridesmaid
Soph is not only Will's younger sister, but also a truly dear friend to Rae. There's too much to say about Sophie that won't fit here so I'll just say that it has been a privilege watching her grow up.
Maggie LaRue
Bridesmaid
Maggs and Rae met in College and lived together for a while. They now both live in AK and can be found causing chaos. Fun fact - Maggie made the engagement ring!
Colleen Winn
Bridesmaid
Leen and Rae went to college together and lived together for a handful of years. They now live too far away from each other, but we're working on moving her to AK!!
Anna Mounsey
Bridesmaid
Anna and Rae were roommates in college, and Anna taught Rae how to ride a snowmobile. Fun fact - Alec (Will's groomsman) and Anna are also getting married next year!
Sydney Saghi
Bridesmaid
Syd and Rae grew up together in Colorado. Rae practiacally lived with Syd's family in Georgetown while they were skiing together for Loveland. They now live 4,042 miles apart but are life long friends!
Taylor Cooper
Officiant
Taylor was responsible for introducing Will and Rae, so it only seems appropriate that he tie the knot too. He grew up friends with Will and quickly became one of Rae's dear friends - the first friend she made in college actually.
Charlie Harder
Best Man
Charlie has been my only brother my whole life, and an older one at that. Growing up he was my first friend and my first enemy. As a true older brother we had our fights and beat downs. He also didn’t like that I was taller than him. Throughout our childhoods we have shared many great memories together and now that we are both mature gentleman we share a rather civil relationship. Honestly I couldn’t imagine my big day without Charlie right by my side!
Ben Lemon
Groomsman
When it comes to in-laws, what you get is kinda like a box of chocolate and your not sure what your going to get. From the first time Ben came to visit Rae in Bozeman I knew I was pretty lucky. Through the last seven years I can say Ben is truly a friend and always a fun time to be around. I can’t wait to call Ben a brother and join our families.
Austin Savaria
Groomsman
Though I knew Austin most of my life, our shenanigans didn’t really start till high school. The good times and memories we made in college where un matched. Whether we were trying to jump rail cars on the weekend or hunting for deer and elk, I couldn’t imagine my life without this life long friend.
KJ Savaria
Groomsman
Ski racing brought Kj and I together. With a childhood of traveling to many ski races with limited supervision, KJ and I certainly found our way into trouble. KJ being the more reserved and aware one, he often found a way to get us out. Spending hours hunting elk and deer with KJ we developed a friendship for life.
Alec Jones
Groomsman
Alec is one of a kind, from ski racing to living together in college, Alec is always game for an adventure and always likes to take on projects he isn’t always ready for. Not surprising from a commercial fisherman. We have spent many weekends snowmobiling in Cooke City and made great memories along the way. Between driving to Alaska towing a sled trailer and rowing the Grand Canyon, Alec will always be one to have on your side for adventures.
Jack Swanson
Groomsman
Jack is certainly one of my oldest friends. Growing up he was the one I turned to for our next crazy adventure. With him actually thinking everything through I’m certain I owe him a few close calls and probably my life. From climbing peaks to kayaking self support class five rapids, Jack is always solid. I’m happy to call him a life long friend and can’t wait for the adventures to come.
Scotty Lebel
Groomsman
Scoot is easily described as a fire cracker. We were always competitors growing up ski racing but when we moved in together in college I made a one of a kind friend. Scoot is always down for a good time and would do anything for me as I would for him. There is never a dull moment with this man as many of you will find out.
