Hannah & Jesse
Wedding Party
Jake Vander Zanden
Officiant
Hannah’s Uncle Fabulous and mentor in life! Uncle Jake has been there in pivotal moments throughout Hannah’s life including the day Jesse came to Chicago to drive Hannah back to Colorado. Together, we all bonded over martini's at Gibson's steakhouse, a Chicago iconic place. We're thrilled to have Jake be our guide as we embark on this next chapter as husband and wife!
Emily Kravcik
Maid of Honor
Best friends with the bride since 5th grade! Hannah had her hooked as a friend ever since using a labeler on all her school supplies the first day of school. These girls grew up skiing (more like bombing down the mountain for Emily) at Wilmot mountain in Wisconsin, going to Dave Matthews concerts and wearing Juicy Couture track suits to school. We like to think a lot has changed since those elementary years but almost 25 years later, you can just add cocktails to the mix and our duo of dogs.
Logan Camin
Best Man
Jesse's first "big boy job" after college was at a trucking and logistics company where he met Logan who worked on the same account. They quickly became friends and spent their hard earned paychecks going to concerts in Denver. They still like loud music and going to shows, but now you will catch Logan as the DJ and Jesse farther back in the crowd.
Brittany Farrell
Bridesmaid
Thanks to Facebook, Hannah and Brittany matched as freshman college roommates at the University of Denver. They’ve been attached at the hip ever since which is saying something since Brittany lives in southern California by the beach and Hannah in the mountains. Daily texts and memes are always shared though, keeping these girls close!
Colleen Murphy
Bridesmaid
Colleen (aka Connie to a select few) and Hannah have been besties since “studying” abroad in Florence, Italy together. Luckily, Colleen agreed to be roommates shortly after her move to Chicago. If you ask Dutch, Colleen is his favorite person. Together, Hannah and Colleen have survived the COVID pandemic together, have had endless travels together both overseas and to the low country and love to throw a good dinner party.
Andy Luersen
Groomsman
Andy and Jesse met in the dorms freshman year of college. Good times were often and frequent during the college years. Andy moved to Aspen after graduating where they have continued to see each other and enjoy adventures in the Colorado outdoors.
Katarina Stiles
Bridesmaid
The girl who rented an apartment out from underneath Hannah which resulted in being best friends and very expensive roommates. They also have a special bond over rescue dogs as Hannah drove Katarina to pick up her rescue pup, Hudson. Hudson coincidentally looks like a smaller version of Dutch. Today, these girls continue to bond over dogs, traveling, Chipotle and 90's rap music.
Gus Jepsen
Groomsman
Gus and Jesse both grew up in Glenwood Springs, CO and likely met on the playground kicking rocks. They also attended University of Denver and live close by in Glenwood even today! Skiing, rafting, biking and camping really get these boys going.
