Sammy & Dalmin
Wedding Party
Ashley Tescher
Maid of Honor
Ashley and I met through mutual friends when her husband, Jordan, was playing baseball at DSU. She then recruited me to get a job at the new Buffalo Wild Wings she was managing and the rest is history! Ashley has been my boss, roommate, and most importantly friend. Ashley has always been the friend that I can rely on for support, advise, a venting session, or a night out dancing. She currently lives in Beach, ND with her husband, Jordan and their awesome 1 year old daughter, Harper. I was the maid of honor in Ashley's wedding and can't wait for her to take on that role at my own!
Megan Gordon
Bridesmaid
Megan is a cousin and a friend all rolled into one. Some of my best childhood memories have my cousins in them. It was also nice for Dalmin to have a familiar face when going through the process of meeting my family. She is such a great role model in my life and someone I can go to with anything. Megan is currently a lawyer living in Bismarck, ND. I feel so lucky to have a friend I can also spend family holidays with!
Morgan Wandler
Bridesmaid
The title that comes to mind when I think about who Morgan is to me is "partner in crime." We met in college through some mutual friends, worked together at Buffalo Wild Wings, lived in two houses together, and appear in a lot of each others favorite memories. Morgan already has a degree from DSU (Dalmin was one of her teachers), but is currently back in school to pursue dental hygiene. Smarty pants! She is originally from Bozeman, MT but is currently living in Dickinson, ND with her boyfriend, Brian.
Brandi Laufer
Bridesmaid
Brandi and I played basketball against each other in junior high. I remember she used to pinch you in the leg before boxing you out after a free throw. But... we are past that! We officially became friends when we lived in the same dorm our freshman year of college. I didn't know what good friends were until I met Brandi. She is the most loyal, honest, and genuine person I know. She currently lives on the family farm in Hettinger, ND with her husband, Mike. She has the sweetest one year old boy and is pregnant with another one on the way!
Jamie Coyle
Bridesmaid
Jamie and I met through mutual friends in college. She was actually friends with Dalmin before she knew me. Some of my best memories in Dickinson have Jamie in them. She currently lives in Morro Bay, CA where she coaches high school softball and works for a company who gives aide to people living with special needs. No matter how far apart Jamie and I are from each other we always pick up right where we left off.
Aly Gibson
Bridesmaid
Aly lived in the apartment across from mine when Dalmin and I started dating. I remember Dalmin sneaking out so he wouldn't accidentally meet his sister in the hallway. Thank goodness we are past that stage! Aly has been there through everything with Dalmin and I. She's the sister I never had. I'm so thankful to be joining a family that I can also call friends. Aly is a cosmetologist living in Rapid City, SD with her fiancé, Lindie, and their dog, Pax.
Kendall Gibson
Bridesmaid
Kendall is Dalmin's spunky, little sister. One thing I've always admired in her is that she is her own person, through and through. She looks up to Dalmin as much as I do and I am so happy to be gaining a little sister! Kenny graduated from high school last year and is currently living in Rapid City with her boyfriend, Nor.
Casey Coles
Personal Attendant
I met Casey through mutual friends- mutual friends being her, now, husband. I was friends with her hubby, Cade, while working at Buffalo Wild Wings and she eventually started working there as well. Suddenly Cade turned into our third wheel! Theirs is one of my most treasured friendships because I have a friendship with them individually and as a couple. Casey and I become very close very quickly and I couldn't feel luckier! Her and Cade currently live in Dickinson, ND with their dogs Tug and Mobey.
Steven Koch
Best Man
Steven and I have been friends since before I can remember. We grew up together in Harding County and I eventually recruited him to come play football at Dickinson State. There, we lived together at the infamous 655. At one point I was Steve's roommate, coach, and as always his best friend. Steven is currently coaching with me at CU and once again we are roommates.
Austin Brown
Best Man
Austin and I are like brothers. We grew up together in Harding County, played football together at Dickinson State, lived together and moved to Colorado together. Austin and I got our first Division 1 coaching jobs together at CU. He's been there every step of the way. Currently Austin and his fiance Katy (they're getting married the weekend after us) are living in Corvallis, OR where he is coaching at Oregon State. We've played together, coached together, and now we are coaching against each other.
Jace Jenson
Groomsman
Jace and I grew up together in Harding County. Of all my friends, Jace and I have the most memories that make you want to double over laughing. Jace is currently ranching in Harding County with his wife, Kami.
Markell Pete
Groomsman
Markell and I started coaching at Dickinson State at the same time. He was a coworker who eventually turned into a good friend. Loved by both the Gibson's and the Gordon's, Markell is one of the family. Originally from California, he is now living in Fargo, ND.
Brock Boos
Groomsman
Brock and I knew of each other in high school, but I honestly wasn't a fan of him because he stomped all over us in basketball. We officially met in biology class our freshman year of college at Dickinson State and eventually became buddies. I got the privilege of being in Brock and his wife, Emily's wedding a few summers ago and I'm happy he gets to be a part of mine. Brock is currently living in Dickinson, ND with his wife and dog, Griffey.
Scott Gordon
Groomsman
Scott and I hit it off right away when we first met. It's been fun to get to know him and his family. He and his fiance, Bri have made me an uncle for the first time and now I've got two nieces and a nephew thanks to him. Having a brother in law who likes to poke fun at Sam as much as I do is all a guy can ask for. Scott currently lives in Minot, ND where he owns and manages a glow in the dark mini golf course. He and Bri have daughters Skylar and Aria and son Rory.
James Gordon
Groomsman
I couldn't be prouder to call James my brother. One of my favorite memories was going to San Diego with Sam's family to watch him graduate from boot camp in the U.S. Marine Corps. Having two sisters was great, but it's nice to have a brother in law to have a beer with at family holiday's.
