Michaela & Ryan
Wedding Party
Madison Keeler
Maid of Honor
This spunky young lady is my beautiful baby sister that has always been my partner in crime and is on a path for greatness. Between college and working, she may be really busy, but she always finds time to come see us. She is also guilty of stealing My Polly Pockets, is extremely sassy, and will keep you on your toes at all times. We have always been close ever since our bunk bed days whether we were creating dance routines or trying out some cheap makeup.
Steve Benfield
Best Man
Steve aka "Mountain Man Steve" is one of the smartest, funniest, and athletic people I know. The guy will always keep you entertained and is set to climb every 14er (Mountain above 14,000 ft) in Colorado. Since middle school he has remained one of my closest friends and one of the most influential people in my life. Without having the privilege to room with him on the same floor as MichaeIa (whom Steve called "Mcdonkuloid"), Michaela and I may never have fostered the friendship that led us to where we are now.
Kacy Thomson
Bridesmaid
What can I say, this lady will knock your socks off! She has the best personality and will make you laugh no matter what! She knows no stranger and has been the best dance teacher I have ever had (even if I can still not master the soldier boy). She has been in my life since the terrible awkward middle school years and we have been on some pretty crazy adventures since!
Chineh Ade
Groomsman
Chineh reserves the title "Swiper of Cookies". He is always looking for that free college meal and a good party, but his heart is in the right place. We helped each other stay up on some pretty late nights in college and still to this day he continues to call me "Dr. Givan". For what reason, I have no idea. Without Chineh, I definitely wouldn't be who I am today.
Katie Givan
Bridesmaid
This sassy young lady is Ryan's little sister and a force to be reckoned with. Whether she is conquering engineering at Rice, kicking butt at Mario Kart, or tolerating Ryan's constant pestering, she does it with ease. She always is an amazing hiking/adventure buddy when no one else in the family desires following Ryan on his crazy adventures.
Mason Keeler
Groomsman
This kid is quite the spit fire. He has a lovable personality and will always be Michaela's favorite youngest brother. Mason is very quick witted and will always make you laugh. I have enjoyed our little adventures with him especially the one down by the creek in Golden where some older ladies enjoyed the view ;).
Indica Mestas
Bridesmaid
We both met this feisty lady our Sophomore year of college, and it has been quite the crazy wonderful journey since. While cooking her amazing Mexican food (sopapillas being my favorite), she is getting an engineering degree and running a program for high schoolers in the summer. Wow, right? She has always been there for us and my family!
Mitchell Keeler
Groomsman
I was not quite sure that I wanted to keep him when I first laid eyes on him in 1997, but I have since became very fond of this guy and so has Ryan. My oldest younger brother has been one of our best friends in college and we have shared some fun trips together, whether it be hitting up cruises in Galveston or getting 2 1/2 dozen donuts for free because of our grades (mostly Ryan). He has been a great supporter and always finds ways to feed us really good food.
