The Fields' First Anniversary
Wedding Party
Molly O'Donnell
Maid of Honor
Molly and I met in 6th grade at Powell Middle School. We survived our awkward years and helped one another navigate high school even as friend groups changed and distance kept us apart through college. Molly is a bright light full of love and laughter with an old soul and kind heart. One of my favorite memories with Molly is when the two of us and our friend Krista would go to Molly's house once a week for lunch our senior year of high school. It kept us connected and allowed us to spend time together amidst our three very different and busy schedules. Molly is a fierce friend and is constantly there for me when I need her, regardless of how far apart we are. Love you, SB!
Neal Rosengren
Best Man
I met Neal during my first year of teaching just 4 long years ago. We both were hired on as new math teachers at Ponderosa High School and immediately had a great bond. When Neal isn't cracking a joke in a New York accent or showing off any of his many musical/athletic talents, he's spending time with his wonderful friends and family. I've never met a man with such great passion and love for everything he does and everyone he touches. As a teacher, a father, and a husband, Neal exemplifies everything I strive to be in this life. The Rosengren family has been an integral part of Hailey and I's relationship and I can't wait for all of the memories to come. Love you, Raisin Bran!
Katie Sorenson
Bridesmaid
Katie and I owe our ridiculous friendship to Luther College who placed us together as roommates our freshmen year. Katie proved that there are people out there just a strange as I am - and thus we were joined at the hip. There are too many wonderful memories to choose from but a few of my favorite include Katie doing my hair every night before Christmas at Luther, Harry Potter movie drinking games, lots and lots of popcorn parties, the extensive planning (but not execution) of dressing up the Martin Luther statue on campus during senior week, and the countless nights full of belly laughs at LC. Katie is hilarious, incredibly smart, and one of the most loyal friends I know. She's one of my best friends and I couldn't do this without her. Love you, mom!
Matt Jeffreys
Groomsman
Matt and I journeyed through grade school together, starting with 6th throughly high school graduation (and a few college years), but we really became close during junior year of high school. Our friendship was solidified with countless nights in the basement playing best 10 out of 19 games of ping pong while eating some sort of fast food. Matt never tries to be someone he’s not, he’s always looking to be positive and have a good time, and most importantly he would do anything for his friends. I know I can go to Matt for anything and he'd drop everything to be there for Hailey or I. It's too bad he's a Steelers fan or I think we could have been pretty close.... Love you, Simba!
Jenna Myers
Bridesmaid
Jenna and I became fast friends playing tennis together at Luther. A favorite memory I have is when Jenna played a fun game for a few weeks of hiding her taxidermy mouse all over our dorm room and enjoyed when I royally freaked out finding it. We lived together our senior year and had bi-weekly sing alongs to Don McLean's American Pie much to the "delight" of our house mates. A reenactment is sure to happen in June! She's an exceptionally fierce friend and I adore her. Love you, Jerns!
Allison Daly
Groomswoman
Alli and I met our sophomore year of high school and never looked back. I may have spent more time at her house than my own during my Junior and Senior year of high school (Love you Mom and Dad!). Alli is the best of friends because she laughs at everything I say and really boosts the ego! She has always been an incredibly hard worker, but also makes time for the people she cares about. And although she switched from being a cardinals fan to a cubs fan after awhile of dating her now husband, Bobby, her loyalty as a friend has never been questioned. I’m so glad to have her by my side on the big day and for the many ab-clenching memories to come. Love you, Al!
Emilee Velander
Bridesmaid
Emilee and I met at Luther College. We made it through our first year of teaching together as roommates here in Colorado which is a bond unlike any other. She is pure joy and, outside of my parents and Tyler, is my biggest cheerleader. My favorite memories with Em include making it through the education and history departments at Luther and eating LOTS of ice cream at our apartment. Emilee has become one of our closest friends and I can't imagine this day without her. Love you, Em!
Noelle Brown
Groomswoman
Noelle and I met our sophomore year of college through the math education department at CSU. Noelle is super driven and always worked hard through our schooling. My diploma should probably read, “honorable mention - Noelle Brown” underneath my name. Although she was such a hard worker, Noelle always made time to join us at the local Fuzzy’s for some chips and queso and a beerita. And even though college was such a blur, I know our friendship will last a lifetime. Thank you for joining me on this special day. Love you, Noe!
Ashley Goetz
Bridesmaid
Ashley and I met at Luther College. I not only got to know her through the education department but we also spent our years in choir together. Ashley is the most genuine person and her thoughtfulness, kind heart, and welcoming nature made me, and many others, gravitate towards her. My favorite memories with Ashley include living together our senior year and our many trips to the library when I heard all about how "cool" math is. Ashley holds a special place in my heart and I feel at peace knowing she'll be with me on the biggest day of my life. Love you, Ash!
Meghan Stang
Groomswoman
Meg and I met sophomore year of college through the math education department at CSU, though we didn’t become best of friends until the following year. Meg should also get an honorable mention for getting me through college, although her assistance was more on the mental side. We shared so many laughs and so many great memories that I wouldn’t even know where to begin. She was my partner in crime in college and will continue to be as we grow old. Thank you so much for being a part of my special day, and I can't wait for our next piggy bike ride. Love you, Meg!
Jessica Sharot
Bridesmaid
Jess and I met at Luther College where we sang together in choir for four years. She also knew Katie and Ashley from different parts of campus so when we all came together it was wonderful! Jess is incredibly funny, smart, and caring. She is an exceptional friend who will do anything for those she cares about. My favorite memories with Jess include going on tour with Collegiate Chorale our senior year together, making fun of how weird Katie is, and watching her kick some random guy's butt in an arm wrestle. We love you, Jess, thank you for being part of our day!
Michael Woods
Groomsman
We became fast friends with Michael and have loved all of our shenanigans together. Miguel is a wonderful golf buddy and Tyler loved bonding with him at American Furniture Warehouse choosing bed frames. We can always count on Miguel to make us giggle with unexpected facetimes. Thanks for being a positive goober, Miguel, oh how we love you!
Dan Johnson
Bridesman
Dan is my big brother. Dan serves as my comedic relief, therapist, and tv binge watching buddy. He is incredibly intelligent, genuine, and ridiculously funny. Favorite memories with Dan include our Christmas starbucks and scratch card runs, in depth conversations about Game of Thrones, and his constant support in my life decisions. Dan keeps my mental ship afloat and my day would be incomplete without him standing with me. Love you, D!
Morgan Fields
Groomswoman
Morgan and I met on June 6th, 1997, the day she was born. Morgan is my younger and only sister, and I couldn’t have asked for a better one. Although I was a bit of a butthead growing up, we eventually built an incredible bond. Morgan is kind, funny, and incredibly passionate about the things and people she loves. When dating Hailey, Morgan’s opinion was most important. I knew when she said that she could visualize Hailey as being her sister that I was going to spend my life with the bride to be. Morgan is my movie quoting, adventure taking, rockstar of a sister, and I can’t imagine Hailey and I’s special day without her by my side <3 Love you, Mofie!
Erik Johnson
Bridesman
Erik is my big brother. From a young age I've admired Erik for his competitive spirit, his unwavering kindness towards others, and his faith. Erik and I love tennis, beer, Harry Potter, and laughing at dumb stuff together. Some of my favorite memories with Erik include he and Dan surprising me to watch me play college tennis, the scavenger hunts he sends me on for my Christmas present, and random phone conversations. Erik helped develop many of my traits and passions, one of them tennis, where I met Tyler. It is only fitting that he is up there with me. Love you, E!
Shannon Johnson
Bridesmaid
The greatest thing Erik did was marrying Shannon and giving me a wonderful sister-in-law. Shannon is the best asset to our family with her quick wit, kind heart, and brilliant mind. I have loved having Shan around and feel grateful to have another role model in my life. My favorite memories with Shannon include watching her beat my dad in euchre, our coffee dates, and laughing at Erik together. She's become a major part of my life and it made perfect sense to have my sister with me on my big day. Love you, Shan!
