Maid of Honor
We have known each other for as long as we can remember. We have shared everything from Olympic dreams (still working on that) to countless boxes of Macaroni and Cheese, and everything in between.
Best Man
Brad and Steve go back to 4th grade. We've shared countless games of basketball, laser tag, and poker (and admittedly one game of Pretty Pretty Princess which was well-documented by my parents). It's hard to imagine a more genuine, funny, and caring person.
Bridesmaid
Our shared love of reading, Harry Potter, and fast food (among other things) have ensured a strong friendship since Freshman year of college.
Groomsman
Ryan and Steve go back to 5th grade, when we were both on a basketball team coach by Steve's dad. With Ryan serving out of state and overseas, there were instances where we didn't see each other for a few years at a time. Yet once we were back together, it was always immediately just like old times.
Bridesmaid
From rowing together as freshman in college to skiing in Colorado together (non-competitively) sports seem to keep us together. Mostly because we love to eat after playing/participating in said sports...
Groomsman
Jeff and Steve go back to high school and have shared plenty of fun (crazy?) experiences together. Now a newly-minted father, Jeff is responsible for helping Steve and Carly meet, with him having met his wife Lindsey on Match, and convincing Steve to give it a try. Lo and behold, just shortly afterwards, Steve met Carly.
Bridesmaid
Friends since elementary school - we have had many travel adventures together. Whether it be to new restaurants and breweries in the Twin Cities, cabin trips to northern Minnesota - there has never been a shortage of fun and adventure!
Groomsman
Steve and Amogh were partners-in-crime during grad school. So many random nights out in downtown Chicago and sitting on Amogh's "deck" watching the purple line "L" go by helped eased the stress of getting through a Master's program.
Bridesmaid
Friends since college and the human who made the move to Colorado possible - a life with Steve never would have been possible without Amanda there to dry my tears when we moved (there were many,) watch Titanic with me, get lost in the mountains, and establish a happy life in Colorado.
Groomsman
Nick has been incredibly welcoming as Steve joins the family, and having known Nick for about 3 years now, I'm excited to be gaining a brother for the first time.
Bridesmaid
Friends since my first teaching job in Colorado - we followed each other to a 2nd school and then maintained a strong friendship while Laura taught halfway around the world. From skiing to cooking to an epic Californian road trip and lots of running races, fun is always had!
Ring Bearer
The sons of one of Carly's best friends, Allison - Carly and Steve have loved being able to watch these two boys grow up. From tiny infants to amazing people, we are so lucky to be a part of Sinquefield Family and Friends!
Officiant
Lovingly referred to as Carly's "School Mom," Carly was lucky enough to work with Dee for 5 years at her school in Colorado. Dee has taken care of Carly (and now Steve) - ensuring deadlines were extended for her when she forgot things at school, providing lots of hugs and chatting, and many fun game nights!
Reader
Sister of Steve. We've loved our family trips to Hawaii together and Carly is so excited to officially have a sister now!
Junior Bridesmaids
Carly began nannying for Addie and Lula in the summer of 2012. She quickly fell in love with the whole family and cherished the summers spent hiking, swimming, baking, and generally just being silly with these lovely young women.
Reader
Sister of Steve. We've loved going to multiple CU football games, breweries, and wing nights. Carly's very excited to be gaining an official sister.
