Christine & Reed
Our Wedding Party
Andrea Thorn
Matron of Honor
Christine's first 'sister,’ Andrea, married into the chaos of the Thorn family to Mike. Andrea has been a consistent source of light, laughter, and joy since her arrival in the family.
Graham Fischer
Best Man
Reed's oldest brother, Graham, has always been there to challenge and support him—from full-contact games of Scrabble as kids, to providing guidance and being a great mentor as adults. Reed is always grateful he has a brother like Graham to lead the way through life.
Dusti Thorn
Matron of Honor
Another wonderful addition to the Thorn family, Dusti’s marriage to David gave Christine another sister and best friend. Christine has found herself turning to Dusti for advice and friendship during many of the big moments of her life!
Evan Fischer
Best Man
Evan is also Reed's older brother, and has kept Reed laughing since he was born. Whenever Reed's needed it, Evan is always there to provide comic relief, quote even the deepest of movie references with Reed, and push him to dream bigger.
Amanda Labriola
Maid of Honor
The last addition to finally balance out the boy:girl ratio of the Thorn family, Amanda is engaged to Tommy! Christine could not be more grateful for the amazing woman Tommy has brought into her life.
Tommy Thorn
Groomsman
The youngest Thorn boy, Tommy and Christine have been through thick and thin together, consistently laughing through the good and the bad. Reed's found the same fun-loving and goofy friend in Tommy that he's always been to Christine.
Ashley Martell
Bridesmaid
Ashley is Christine's 'shooting partner for life'! Their friendship began in northern Minnesota during their time as teammates on the women's basketball team at the University of Minnesota-Crookston and has continued to grow in the 8 years since they met. Also living in Colorado, Ashley and Christine make the time to visit each other in Denver and Boulder and spend time together in the mountains.
David Thorn
Groomsman
David's role in Reed and Christine's life and relationship has always been that of a mentor and friend. He and his wife Dusti are always at the ready to provide advice, ask the right questions, and lend a listening ear to Reed and Christine as they navigate their way through love and life.
Baillee Krieger
Bridesmaid
Baillee is as loyal as they come and Christine feels overwhelmingly grateful to have had Baillee by her side for the last 7 years. Baillee has been the person Christine can turn to in times of joy and sadness (but even during the times of sadness, Baillee will leave her laughing).
Mike Thorn
Groomsman
The oldest Thorn, Mike was the most intimidating brother for Reed to meet. They've warmed up to each other well, mostly thanks to Reed winning Mike's respect and money in poker—the two are likely closely related. Mike and his family are an example of what Reed and Christine aspire to.
Nicole Zachman
Bridesmaid
Christine's longest friend, Nicole has been a major part of Christine's life since childhood. She is the life of the party and has a way of always leaving Christine (and every one else around her) laughing and feeling loved.
Drew Hunter
Groomsman
Since moving to Boulder together, Drew and Reed have been pretty much inseparable. They worked together to found their running team, Tinman Elite, and have always shared a sense of adventure that's led them far in their friendship.
Lauren Carruth
Bridesmaid
Lauren and Christine met at a young age and were nearly inseparable throughout high school. Throughout the years that followed Lauren remained one of Christine's closest friends. Always being there when Christine needed her for a chat or a good time!
Sam Parsons
Groomsman
Another close friend and founder of Tinman Elite, Sam has helped Reed find his confidence, and served as his hypeman when he first started getting to know Christine. Sam is always encouraging Reed to pursue more and demand better of himself.
Kassidy Johnson
Bridesmaid
Kassidy and Christine became quick friends during their time as roommates and playing basketball at Black Hills State University. Kassidy has been a loyal and extremely supportive friend to Christine and she feels lucky to have a best friend like her.
Connor Winter
Groomsman
Connor and Reed have eerily similar minds and outlooks on life. In each other, they've found reassurance that they're not crazy (or at least not entirely). Connor provides a steadiness and calm to Reed's life that allows him to focus on the things that really matter.
Emma Thorn
Junior Bridesmaid
Emma, Christine's niece, is an amazing young woman. Christine is always looking forward to receiving Facetimes from Emma and her sister, Molly, and getting her butt kicked by Emma in work outs when she returns back to Minnesota.
Jackson Thorn
Junior Groomsman
Jackson adds a little youth, but a whole lot of character to the groomsman lineup. His competitive nature and athletic ability means he'll be the king of the dance floor, and that he could likely destroy Reed in a wrestling match despite a healthy height and weight handicap.
