Wedding Party

Casey McGee

Best Man

I am honored to have my Best Man be my oldest friend, and luckily also my brother. Casey is 2.5 years older than me and has been who I have looked to for guidance my whole life. We definitely had our rough patches growing up, but the older we have gotten, the closer we've become. He has lots of the same interests, and went through so many of the same phases growing up. When we are together we spend so much time talking about what "really" went on when we were kids, where he fills me in on what I was too young to get or be included on. Somewhat regularly we send each other nostalgic things we just randomly found from our childhood, which is always such a fun thing to share. I am so thankful to have him as a brother, and that he wanted to be my right hand man through this important day.

Hailey Olson

Maid of Honor

When I lived in Meridian, Hailey lived just down the street from me and happened to work with my roommate at the time. She and my roommate began carpooling and we all became friends. Since then she has become one of my very best friends and has been there for me more times than I can count. Some of my happiest moments have been spent drinking wine on the couch with her, dancing in clubs with her, and helping her prepare for motherhood. She gave me the gift of being an auntie, and I could not possibly love her more.

Justin Jones

Officiant/Groomsman

Justin is my oldest friend. We first met in 4th grade on the peewee football team, and played football together almost every year through high school. Needless to say, we have gotten into our fair share of shenanigans. I can confidently say he is one of the best people I know, always asks and is interested in your day, or what's going on in your life. All with his trademark Justin charm, you never know when, but you will almost always get a joke, a witty remark, or something that reminds you he is different from a normal friend and someone well worth keeping in your close circle of friends. I have lived a state away from him for the last 9 years, but whenever we get the gang back together, it is one of the best times I could ask for. Justin is a true friend, and one I hope to keep forever.

Jennifer Burton

Bridesmaid

When I first met Jen, she was my supervisor at a pretty terrible company. I had the utmost respect for her and how dedicated she was to serving the I/DD population. We eventually became equals and very good friends. Since then we have endured some crazy shit together, but I knew through all of it that I had made a life-long friend who loved and cared about me. She gave me the courage to realize that I deserve to be happy in my career and has given me so many pep talks over the years. Whether it's been our shared love of Motley Crue, drunken nights at Emerald Lanes, after-work rants at the Crescent, or tearful heart-to-hearts, we always manage to make the most out of our time together. I love her more than I can say, and I could not imagine getting married without her standing by my side.

Jake Schulte

Groomsman

Jake is pretty much the sole reason I had the college experience I had. He was the one that I wanted to hang out with when I joined Sigma Phi Epsilon at MSU, and was a huge reason in my joining. We have always been very similar in our interests, whether it be working out/ playing sports, or being nerds and gaming, Jake and I see eye to eye on it all. I was so happy to have found a friend I could compete with and always have a good fight. We also constantly wore black workout shirts, so we decided to call ourselves "black team", and to this day will yell "go black team" at each other. One of the most genuine people I have ever met, and I know he will be a source of entertainment when it comes to the dance floor Sept 14th.

Jenna Keltz

Bridesmaid

Jenna and I have had a "whirlwind" kind of friendship, and became very close very fast. This is probably due to the fact that we spend 40+ hours a week together and work as a two-man team doing an extremely difficult job. Jenna is completely genuine, sincere, and always makes an effort to build others up. She's also a smartass, and you all know I absolutely identify with that! I am so grateful to have her in my life as not only a co-worker, but also an incredible friend.

Grant Kilekas

Groomsman

Grant was one of the first people I met in Boise, since he worked in the cubicle across the aisle from mine. We have had countless conversations about some of the coolest stuff (that maybe we only find cool haha,) how our fantasy league is going, ping pong tips, in depth audio tech discussions, car discussions, biking discussions, etc. He is a super passionate person, and I have learned so much from him sharing these passions with me. Always the source of a good laugh, a good opinion, or a great "Office" reference.

Adrianne Kilekas

Bridesmaid

Adrianne and her husband Grant knew Jon before I came into the picture, and I know she was a little hesitant to get to know me as a result of the interesting lady who had been in Jon's life before me. (Haha.) But once she and I really got to talking (with the assistance of a few shots) it was pretty obvious to me she was my kind of person. I completely appreciated her sarcastic sense of humor and our shared love of Disney and cats. Adrianne is that type of friend you can go crazy and dance your ass off with, but you can also sit on a couch in your sweats together listening to Disney soundtracks and having deep conversations. I sincerely appreciate her friendship and the fact that the distance between us hasn't changed our relationship.

Corey Schmidt

Groomsman

Corey and I met initially during orientation at MSU. I was randomly paired with his friend Jordan, and instantly got looped into their group from then on. We always spent the most time together since we both were CompE Majors, and had very similar goals and work styles. Having a great friend to work with in almost every single class was instrumental in my success and enjoyment at college. He eventually gave in to my constant nagging about how awesome my fraternity Sigma Phi Eplison was, and joined. From then on we have not only been great friends but brothers. With many long nights programming, tests we were reprimanded for "cheating" on, and countless stair parties together, I could not be happier to have him as a groomsman.

Tiffany Steele

Bridesmaid

Tiffany and I were "set up" by Adrianne when were were seated at the same table at her wedding. She figured we would get along and she was so right! We cried together when they played Landslide and it was all downhill from there. Tiffany is one of the most positive, intelligent, and genuine people I know. We have many shared interests and I always have so much fun spending time with her. And though it wasn't ideal that I moved to another state within our first year of friendship, we still always make an effort to stay invested and up to date with each other's lives. More recently I have enjoyed watching her become an amazing mother, and honestly would just love to be her when I grow up.

Kyle Straub

Groomsman

Kyle, the reason why I ever tried skiing, why I got more into guns and shooting, and my foosball forward partner! He joined on at Micron in Boise a few months after I did, and since our area was pretty small we saw each other quite often. Between ping pong games and other random encounters he quickly became one of my best friends. Many trips to the local mountain solidified this, as well as a trip to Brundage on opening day, and to Tahoe. He got me to explore some places I wouldn't have had the courage to explore alone. He and our friend Matt being both excellent skiers, made me have to get much better at snowboarding very quickly to keep up, but that push was all I needed. He's always tried to get me out of my comfort zone, and I am a better person for it.

Sally Broglia

Bridesmaid

Sally and I met my junior year at Boise State when we worked at Jimmy John's together. We had a lot of fun as young and crazy co-workers. Since then she has become one of my closest friends and someone I feel comfortable talking to about absolutely anything. We have shared so much over the years and have more inside jokes and crazy stories than I can even remember. I'm so grateful to have come into adulthood alongside her, and I feel like our friendship is so strong because of that experience. Even from a different state she continues to be a constant light in my life, and I hope that never changes. P.S. She also graciously accepted to take our engagement pictures, and did such an amazing job. We had so much fun taking them.

Nick Ledbury

Groomsman

My birthday twin! (though I'm a year older haha) Nick and I have always clicked, something about how we are wired leads us to work really well together, and always have the same sense of humor. We met in 7th grade, and spent tons of time together since we were both tight-ends on the football team. He calls me shorty since I'm tall, and other than being called McGee, it’s the only nickname I have that anyone still calls me (Cara excluded lol). He is part of the group I hang out with on a regular basis in Snohomish, and I'm so thankful for it, otherwise it would just be me trying to keep the peace from Justin picking on Tara. I'm so excited to have him as a groomsman, and backup to continue keeping the peace between Justin and Tara.

Tara Harrington

Groomswoman

Introducing the Groomswoman! When you have best friends who aren't guys, haha. I have known Tara since middle school, but really became better friends once we got to high school. She was even my senior prom date, with her princess style pink dress. I have always cherished having a woman's point of view on what is going on in my life, and that she is genuinely interested in how everything is going. She is also a part of the Snohomish group, and is what I would call the "Justin tamer". She has always been a source of support to us, and I hope that will never change.
