Garrett & Ava
Wedding Party
Eric Epps
Best Man
Eric and I went to High School together, but besides getting paired together for a history project we were not what you would call "friends", I saw him as the weird kid that played too many video games and tried to be Vine famous. Eric ended up transferring to CSU Spring semester our freshman year, and I decided to give the weird kid another chance. We pretty much became best friends instantly and were attached at the hip from then on. So many of my greatest memories and hardest laughs have been with Eric, and I couldn’t be more grateful for a friend like him. Eric has always been there for me through all the highs and lows and is someone I trust more than just about anyone. I couldn't think of anyone else I would rather have standing next to me on my wedding day.
Alexa Norrigan
Maid of Honor
Alexa is my big sister and my best friend in the world! She has been by my side since day one, so it only makes sense that she's by my side on my big day! In middle school, high school, and college, I was always known as little Lexi. It was so fun going to school with Alexa and getting to share so many memories together. Living in different states isn’t always fun, but we are constantly FaceTiming to make up for lost time! She is always the life of the party and encourages me to not take life too seriously. I am always laughing when I’m around her, even if it’s at absolutely nothing. She always makes me feel like I am more than enough and picks me up when I’m down. I love that I can come to her with anything, and I know she will always be able to help me through it. I’ll never be able to explain how much she means to me and what she’s done for me throughout our lives. She’s always been my rock and I am so blessed that I have such an amazing woman to look up to. I love you forever, Lex!
Max Zapf
Groomsman
Max and I started hanging out later on in college and I knew after the first couple times of hanging out with him that he was going to be a part of my life forever. Everyone wants a Max in their life, because that means constant entertainment and good times. I have never met someone who values and loves their friends quite like Max does, and that mixed with his tendency to teeter on the edge of actual insanity is the recipe for a best friend for life. Max, you may never know the impact you have had on my life and just how grateful I feel to have met you.
Meghan Lipsky
Bridesmaid
Meghan and I were paired together as roommates our freshman year of college and have been inseparable ever since! We lived together all four years of CSU and have stayed best friends, even while living on opposite sides of the country. Meg is the friend that I can talk to on the phone for hours and it feels like 5 minutes. She always gives the best advice and is such a good listener. I’m so lucky to have such a special person in my life that I can always be myself with. She’s a one of a kind friend!
Saige Bergel
Groomsman
My relationship with Saige started off rocky when I used thumbtacks to pin all of his clothes to his ceiling while he was at class, he then promptly put me in a headlock when he got back. After that Saige and I became like brothers, and he is without a doubt one of the most cherished and valued relationships in my life. My life instantly became better with Saige in it, I have shared some of the greatest years of my life with Saige and I'm excited to continue to do that until we are both old and grey.
Mikaela Weaver
Bridesmaid
Mikaela and I met in college when we both worked at Texas Roadhouse. Since day one we have always called each other soulmates. I’ve shared some of my biggest laughs with Mikaela and we always have so much fun when we are together. She cares so deeply for those around her and always puts everyone’s needs before her own. She has such a big heart and will go to any length to take care of those around her. Everyone could use an amazing friend like Mikaela in their life!
Jacob Chapman
Groomsman
Jacob and I have grown incredibly close in a rather short amount of time. He quickly became someone that I respected and looked up to in a lot of ways. I don't think Jacob realizes the impact he has had on my life in the past couple years, but it is something I will forever be grateful for. Looking back at what we have already experienced together, from traveling the world, to sharing an ambulance ride, it all adds to the story and I am excited for what is in store. Just hopefully no more trips to the hospital!
Briana Hansen
Bridesmaid
Bri and I have been friends since elementary school, and met when we both joined a singing and dancing group as kids. We went to high school together, and then lived together post-college in Denver! Being roommates only brought us closer. Bri is a social butterfly and will make friends with anyone. She makes the most out of any situation and can have fun no matter where she is or what we are doing. She’s always brought so much joy into my life and I’m so thankful for her friendship!
AJ Stewart
Groomsman
AJ is just an all around amazing person, even though I dated his now wife Jessa in 6th grade for a week, he has never let that affect our relationship. AJ is someone I have a tremendous amount of trust with, and he will always be there for me no matter what. Everyone needs an AJ in there life, someone who loves you whole heartedly, and who always brings out the best in you. So thank you AJ for being you.
Jessa Stewart
Bridesmaid
Jessa and I met in college, but really didn’t become friends until after college. It started off as double dates with AJ and Garrett, until Jessa and I decided to ditch the guys and start our own friendship! Jessa is the friend that I can laugh with for hours until we forget what we are even laughing about. She always wants the best for those around her and is never afraid to give it to me straight. She is fiercely loyal which is one of my favorite things about her. She is such a light in my life!
Cody Brown
Groomsman
I don't think there ever has been or ever will be a person on this earth who does not love Cody. He was one of my first new friends I made at college, and despite him having lived in Hawaii for the past 5 years, I can honestly say we have only grown closer. Ava and I were lucky enough to share our engagement with Cody and his girlfriend Malia when we visited them in Hawaii, and I cant imagine having done that with anyone else by my side.
Mia McQueen
Bridesmaid
Mia and I have known eachother since Kindergarten where she was my very first friend! I owe my amazing childhood to her. Mia and I have stayed friends throughout our entire lives and have always able to pick up where we left off. She has always been a constant in my life and has one of the biggest hearts. She is so compassionate and makes anyone that she meets feel welcome with her big smile and contagious energy. She will be a forever friend and I’m so grateful to have her!
Freeman Payne
Groomsman
Freeman is one of my oldest friends, and I have known for a long time now that he would be standing with me on my wedding day. I had such an amazing, fun childhood and so much of that is because I had Freeman in my life. Freeman and I have been through it all together, and we have created an inseparable bond that I know for certain will last a lifetime. Freeman is one of the biggest reasons I can look back and say I have had an amazing and truly happy life. I am very much looking forward to what the future has in store for us brother.
Desi Chupp
Bridesmaid
Desi and I met working at Texas Roadhouse together when we were 16, and from the start called eachother "secret sisters". We instantly connected and have been friends ever since. Desi is the best hype woman! She is a great listener and always knows the right things to say to make you feel confident and loved. She is the most bubbly person and such a breath of fresh air. She is such an amazing friend to have by my side and I couldn’t imagine my big day without her!
Connor Hoffman
Groomsman
Connor is someone else I met later on in college, at a time where you wouldn't necessarily expect to meet one of your life long best friends. Connor is one of those people who only seems to bring good into your life. When I look back and think about some of the best times of my life Connor is a part of a lot of them. Having someone like Connor in my life has brought me the perfect balance of peace mixed with excitement. I think if everyone had someone like Connor in their life the world would be a happier place, but I am just so grateful he is a part of mine.
Giulia Silva
Bridesmaid
Giulia and I have been friends since we were little 7th graders and have always maintained a strong friendship that continues to grow every day, even after going to rival colleges (CSU is better)! Giulia is so dependable and has made it to every single birthday and big life event, no matter what. I can always count on her to show up and make any day a great day. She is such a genuine and positive person in any situation and I’m so grateful to have found a friend like her!
