Morgan & Zach
Wedding Party
Taylor Zaparaniuk
Maid of Honor
Seeing as she’s my big sister, I’ve known her my whole life! We had your typical rocky sister relationship growing up and probably terrorized each other more than we'd like to admit, but that didn't stop us from becoming friends and having the great relationship we have now. Her and her boyfriend Kalen live in Saskatoon with their fur baby Charlie (who happens to be just as adventurous as them). I really look up to Taylor... She's crazy adventurous, hardworking, an amazing dog mom and a total blast to be around. I am so proud of everything she's accomplished and am grateful to have her stand beside me.
Brennan Weisberg
Best Man
Red and I first met playing soccer together as kids. Our friendship grew once we got to highschool and started playing school sports together. We have been beside each other through every major step of our lives, from getting kicked out of gym class to getting married and having kids! Brennan has always been a role model and leading influence on my life and I'm grateful to have him stand beside me on our day.
Shayla Gray
Maid of Honor
Shayla, Shalla, Sheila... We've known each other since we were kids because I played sports with her older sister, but met again about 6 years ago playing volleyball for SIAST (meant to be lol). We were both so shy so we barely talked the entire season and then ended up coaching a volleyball team together the following year and that's pretty much the moment we became best friends (thankfully the boys are as good of friends too!) Her and Kolten are getting married next summer, so we get to stand beside them soon enough! She is a total light in my life and one of the kindest, hardworking, hilarious humans I've ever met. Just wait until you see her signature dance moves. I honestly couldn't do this without her!!
Kolten Stalwick
Groomsman
Kolten and I became friends when the girls (Morgan and Shayla) decided to coach girls volleyball together. We spent that year traveling around and spending a lot of time in gyms and hotel rooms. It didn't take us long to click and figured out all that we had in common. Kolten and Shayla have quickly become one of our closest couple friends, and they don't let me forget how much older I am then them. I'm happy to have him stand with me and look forward to all the shenanigans we will get into in the future!
Kristen Cathcart
Bridesmaid
From kindergarten to getting our diplomas together, Kristen has been my best friend through it all! We spent A LOT of time together growing up and I probably overstayed my welcome at her house a few too many times. She followed her passion to Edmonton and has been working her butt off in the big city since! Long distance friendships can be tough, but we've managed to put up with each other even after all these years. She is hilarious, so kind, and puts everyone she loves above herself. The day wouldn't be the same without her!
Nevin Wright
Groomsman
Nevin, the American/Canadian that neither side seems to want to claim. I first met Nevin working for the government, we became quick friends as I took him under my wing and showed him everything it meant to be Canadian.. like how to drive in the snow. We have always been there for each other and our friendship has grown into more of a family type role with Nevin coming to live with us for a couple years when he returned from the army. He is always willing to put his friends first and I am glad to have him standing beside me on my wedding day.
Shelby Bruce
Bridesmaid
I can’t remember exactly when I met Shelby, but it was probably sometime in 2011. We got close pretty dang quick, (probably because were both Pisces babies) and stayed friends all through our crazy years. I cringe when I think back to all the ridiculous shenanigans we got into but it was always a blast with constant laughs. We lost touch for a couple years, but came back in full force and it’s been incredible to see all the growth she’s had. I am so unbelievably proud of the kind, generous, STRONG woman she is and I’m so glad she'll be standing there beside me!
Brandyn Martin
Groomsman
I feel like I have known Brandyn his entire life. Brandyn and I have gone through a lot together and that has made us very close. We have always shared a lot of the same interests and I am proud of the man that he has grown up to be. In recent years we haven't always lived close to each other but he is never too far away for me to bug. He is always the life of the party and making sure everyone is getting along. Brandyn is living in Nova Scotia with his girlfriend Kianna after receiving a football scholarship so we didn't think they could make it to the wedding. They are being incredible troopers and have found a way to make it to the wedding (we CANNOT FLIPPING WAIT to see them)! I'm really happy my brother will be there standing beside me. I hope he never stops chasing his dreams!
Peyton Zaparaniuk
Bridesmaid
My not so baby sister who happens to be taller (and probably more mature) than me now. A 12 year age gap means we aren't always on the same page and she definitely knew how to push my buttons growing up, but thankfully I get to repay her by now being the embarrassing and annoying older sister (although no one can tease her quite like Zach can)! She's kind, stylish , funny, a total crazy cat lady, and one tough cookie. She doesn't care what anyone thinks staying true to herself and I seriously admire her for that. I couldn't picture the day without her beside me!
Ryan Snyder
Groomsman
It was Ryan's party where me and Morgan first met so I owe him a lot. Ryan was my first friend when I moved to PA. I started working for the government in 2012 and Ryan was there to show me the ropes. We became close when we had to drive to BC on a flood deployment, our friendship started with a similar taste in music and after 12 hours of driving together we haven't looked back. Ryan and I moved in together where lots of laughs and time was spent watching football, playing video games, and Ryan occasionally kicking his drink over when we were eating supper. Ryan moved back to Regina to begin training for EMT but we have stayed close friends, going on snowboarding trips and heading to the lake whenever we can. Thanks for standing up with me on our wedding day!
