Best Man
Jack and I met when our parents brought him home from the hospital. Apparently I was very excited to have a little brother, although he will never let me live down the time I pooped on the floor of his room when we were little, which I conveniently have no memory of. My favorite memories with Jack include sharing the field in high school football and many ski trips to Keystone and Breck.

You know that feeling when you have been friends with someone for so long you don’t know which one is the bad influence? That’s a perfect definition of our friendship. Taylor is more like a sister to me! We first met back in middle school through Cheer, and the rest was history. We were two peas, and man, did we stir up some trouble. I remember doing drunk cartwheels across the CSU field together and all the giggles and long chats about boys. I then realized Jack would be the one for Taylor (even before she knew). Taylor has one of the biggest hearts in the world. She cares so much about anything she invests her time into, and I knew she had my back, and I had hers. I am so happy for Taylor and Jack, and words can not even express my excitement! Let’s get ready to party!!!

Jack and I first met when I moved to Colorado and started playing 8th-grade football. We continued to play football together throughout high school and even tried to relive our primes with some IM football in college. He was always the best teammate on the field, and many of my career rushing yards in high school came at his expense. Jack and I will continue to be best friends as we continue our careers together in the Air Force and pilot training.

To this day, I can never forget you coming over with my older sister and hanging out at the house. You guys always welcomed me to join in all the fun adventures. One that will always stay in my mind is going to cheer practice and jamming to music before or at some of the school dances we went to together. I realized that you are my other big sister that will always be there and hold a hand out. It’s crazy to think one of my “older sisters” is about to get married. Good luck in the next chapter of your life. I love you so much!

Some of my favorite memories with Jack are the times we have played football against and with each other. Whether it was him laughing when I was roasting his team in high school, throwing absolute bombs at him in the rec leagues at CSU, or just watching and talking about a game. Football has helped our friendship grow and grow over the years, and I am genuinely grateful for that.

I met Taylor at Colorado State University during our freshman year but got closer after she started dating Jack, who I was also good friends with and is one of my husbands best friends! We bonded the most after she picked me up from the hospital in Keystone after tearing my ACL and when I helped her hobble around my apartment after she injured her ankle. Through the painful times and the great ones, too, I am so lucky to have had such a reliable friend throughout college and now as we transfer into our married lives together. I cannot wait to watch the adventures that married life will bring Jack and Taylor!

I met Jack early in the sixth grade after starting middle school. Since then, it's been nothing but a fun ride of sports, late-night adventures into the Colorado Outdoors, and playing Madden till 2 am on a Friday. My favorite memory of us was randomly heading out to Steamboat Springs on a Friday night only to get caught in a snowstorm at 2 am. We ended up just driving through the snow for fun which, in hindsight, was one of the best impulse trips we did during college.

Taylor and I sat next to each other in our CNA class where we discussed our dreams of one day becoming nurses. We shared so many laughs and horrible jokes during our 10 hour school days and bonded over our passion for healthcare. She continues to inspire me to be the best version of myself and motivates me to achieve all the goals we discussed over bad gas station food. She is the most dedicated and hardworking woman I have ever met, and I cannot wait to see what life has in store for her. I’m truly ecstatic to be able to be a part of just another puzzle piece in this mystery we call life. Our friendship has blossomed over the years and will only continue to grow as she steps into this new role in her life.

Though I wasn’t fortunate enough to meet Jack in our high school days, I consider myself beyond privileged to have gained his friendship for the few short years we spent together in college. Every game night at the Stadiums, morning on the golf course (or surrounding backyards), and hours spent with the goons we call friends, accounts for some of the most cherished memories I hold to date. Jack’s part in them has a lot to do with why. It’s crazy to think you are already sealing the deal with your other half, but I can’t think of two people more deserving of each other. I am excited and honored to be a part of such a special celebration. Cheers to you, brother!

Taylor and I met back in 2016 when her family adopted me as a sponsored cadet during my time at the academy. From the start, they took me in and treated me like family, and that’s how I can explain our relationship - like bonus sisters! From watching her graduate high school to now getting to be part of one of the happiest days of her life, I’m so proud of her and all the places she’s been, and I can’t wait to see where life takes her. Love you sister!

I’ve known Jack since middle school, when we played football together. We made a pretty great team as middle linebacker in high school football, and were the best punt block team Discovery Canyon has ever had (we almost had one blocked). From the same high school, we went to the same college and joined the same organizations, which allowed us to stay great friends. I have about a decade of great memories with Jack, from high school to college, football to ROTC, and more. Without fail, he has been an incredibly great person and I am very lucky to be his friend. I’m so excited to see him get married and to take this step in his life, and can’t wait to celebrate with him, his new wife, his family, and our friends!

Tay and I met shortly after Justin and I got engaged. She’s been part of the family for the last four years! We’ve been on so many adventures together. From game nights to weekends in Fort Collins, Tay and I have enjoyed many laughs and endured many years together. I’m so excited for Taylor to join the family officially! :)
