Carly & Eric
Wedding Party
Logan Hold
Best Man
Eric's first thought of Logan with glaring eyes was, "who the heck is this guy talking to coach." It wasn't until the next year when Logan joined the UVU baseball team where Eric and Logan quickly became best friends. Logan and Eric, both pitchers at UVU, bonded over baseball, board/card games, and hanging out with the "squad". Senior year they became roommates, along with Jackson, where the fun continued. Both Eric and Carly love Logan and was so happy when he moved out to Colorado last October to start a new career! Eric is so thankful to have Logan as his best man, and Carly cannot wait to get Logan to climb the incline again with them this Summer!
Caroline Cutshall
Matron of Honor
Caroline is Carly's big sissy, best friend, and now matron of honor! Caroline prayed every night for a little sister and Carly is what she got:) Caroline is a talented photographer that lives in Erie, CO and took all of Carly and Eric's engagement pictures! She is the best person, sister, and mommy in the whole wide world (mother of the flower girl), and Carly is so very thankful to have Caroline as a role model in her life! Caroline has made this entire process so special for Carly and Eric, and they truly cannot thank her enough for all of her love and support she shows them every day! Also...the wedding planning would not be happening without Caroline... so thank you sissy!! <3
Rory Stewart
Groomsman
Eric first met Rory when the two played football together when they were 10 years old. It wasn't until high school, however, that they became great friends when they were teammates on Grandview High School's baseball team! Eric and Rory also bonded in high school while matching in their neon yellow attire as GHS football fans at games and dances. Although Rory moved to Kansas to play baseball and has remained in Kansas with his fiancé Shannon, Eric and Rory continue to be close friends! Eric and Carly are so happy Rory is a member of the wedding party!
Jamie Hampton
Bridesmaid
Carly and Jamie have played soccer together since middle school! They were on the same Club Soccer team (Colorado Storm Soccer) and even got to play together their last two years of college at CSU.

Although she currently lives in Texas, Carly and Eric are not giving up hope that she will get back to living in CO one day! She is also recently engaged and Carly and Eric couldn't be happier for her! <3
Jackson Cofer
Groomsman
Eric and Jackson met as teammates on the Utah Valley University baseball team. During Eric's sophomore year in college, the two became friends and hung out often outside of baseball...playing countless board/card games and indoor soccer with their tight knit group of UVU friends. They bonded through hundreds of practice hours and baseball games and traveling throughout the country where they even won the WAC tournament together. Eric and Jackson became roommates Eric's senior year of college and have stayed close since Eric moved back to CO. Jackson is also engaged to another one of Eric's best friends from UVU, Libby, and Carly and Eric couldn't be happier for them!

Andrea is Carly's younger cousin who Carly looks up to as a role model in her life. Although Carly is so proud of Andrea for being a stellar dancer for the Georgia Bulldogs and finishing up her master's degree in speech language pathology, Carly is most proud of her sweet sweet heart and love for Jesus and others. Andrea is truly one of those people who is beautiful inside and out, and Carly is so blessed and thankful that Andrea is flying all the way from Georgia to stand by their side on their wedding day! <3
Josh Huntley
Groomsman
Josh and Eric met when they were 5 years old. Growing up, they did almost everything together! They played club and high school baseball, football, and even went on family vacations together! Josh was always Eric's catcher when he was pitching. It wasn't until college that Josh and Eric separated and played on different baseball teams where they had to learn to play the game without each other! Eric is so excited that Josh, his lifelong friend, will be standing next to him on his big day! Maybe Josh will even "catch" the garter! ;)
Mandy Olguin
Bridesmaid
Mandy is Eric's older sister and soon to be sister-in-law to Carly. Mandy and Carly got to know each other on the Grandview High School soccer field before Eric and Carly even started dating! Mandy is a superstar pilot for the United States Air Force and Eric and Carly could not be more proud of her and all of her hard work and dedication.

Carly has known Joe since she was 10 years old...in fact she can hardly remember a time when he was not in her life. Eric is also excited to gain a new brother, and they both are honored to have Joe at their side on their wedding day...in literally every way possible!
Aly Martin

Rob Seib
Groomsman
Rob is Carly’s protective big brother and Eric’s soon to be brother-in-law/groomsman! Rob always brings the light and fun to the party, and the wedding should be no exception! He has played a vital role in Carly’s life growing up (always including her with his friends, always playing basketball/ping pong/Spades/or made up games in the basement - aka football where it was always me against him and his friend), and has also played a vital role in the past 7 1/2 years of Carly and Eric’s relationship as a brother, as a friend, and as a safe person to go to. Rob has the biggest heart out of anyone and has provided a very very cute ring bearer for the wedding (Clay Clay Seib). We love you Rob! Thank you for being in our lives!
Megan Seib
Bridesmaid
Megan is Carly’s sister-in-law and now Eric’s soon to be sister-in-law!! She is also the mother of the cutest ring bearer in the world (Clay Clay), and are so excited to have both of them in the wedding! Megan has contributed vital bridesmaids roles in the past year including helping Carly pick out her wedding dress (and having her back with the dress she chose), giving her a surprise champagne toast to celebrate, making her famous guacamole for their wedding shower, and helping make the wedding weekend so fun and special. Carly got to stand by Megan’s side on her wedding day and now Carly is honored that Megan is standing by her side for her big day! We love you Megan!
Clayton Seib
Ring Bearer
Clayton Robert is Aunt Yo Yo and Uncle E's "favorite" nephew! Uncle E was once again the first to arrive at the hospital to await his arrival (even before Carly got there)! This sweet little boy has captured Carly and Eric's heart with his beautiful smile, big blue eyes, and belly laugh...and he will be sure to capture everyone else's on the wedding day in his cute suspenders and little blue bowtie. Clayton will be a little over one year on wedding day, so Carly and Eric have started his "walking training" early to ensure his ability to walk down the aisle as their ring bearer. Regardless though, whether he walks or crawls down the aisle, Carly and Eric want their sweet nephew with them at the alter! They love their Clay Clay! <3
Sophie Cutshall
Flower Girl
Sophie is a pure joy in Aunt YoYo (Carly) and Uncle E's (Eric) life! E and YoYo have been best friends with Sophie for about 2 and 1/2 years now, as Uncle E was even the first to arrive at the hospital the day she was born (about 10 hours before she actually arrived)! Sophie is so full of life and joy that it is a guarantee she will steal the show and make Carly and Eric's wedding day perfect...even if she belts out in song during the ceremony:) In addition, Carly and Eric expect everyone to "bow to the queen" when she toddles down the isle in her beautiful white dress and sparkly shoes...because they love to put their Soph-a-Loaf on a pedestal! <3
Annie Rogers
Junior Bridesmaid
Annie is the MVP of the entire engagement day! Even though she was in shock when Eric got down on one knee and whipped out the ring, she still managed to capture it all on camera! Carly and Eric are forever grateful for Annie (especially Eric)! Although Annie is "technically" Carly's 3rd cousin and lives across the country in Griffin, Georgia, Carly and Eric remain close to Annie and love her so much! Annie is so much fun and has such a big and beautiful heart, and Eric and Carly could not be more excited to have her standing with them on their wedding day! <3
Ellie Rogers
Junior Bridesmaid
Ellie, also Carly's 3rd cousin, will be adding some spice and sass to this wedding party! After finally forgiving Eric (aka Eddie) for throwing her in the pool when she was 6 years old, Carly and Eric are thankful she has still agreed to be in their wedding ;)! Ellie is cute, bubbly, and will definitely get the party started with her dance moves! Although Carly and Eric do not get to see Ellie as much as they would like because she lives in Griffin, Georgia, they are so excited she is making the trip to Colorado to be part of their big day! <3
