Anneliese Weyrauch
Maid of Honor
Anneliese and Rachel met when they played softball together at Trinidad State Junior College, fresh out of high school, over 10 years ago! Unfortunately, Anneliese, her husband Nick, and their beautiful baby boy Klaus live in Farmington, NM! Even so, they have been on a multitude of family vacations together, see each other as much as they can, and remain best friends, even through the distance! Rachel got to be a huge part of Anneliese and Nick's special day, and we can't wait for you all to be a part of ours!!

Maggie Frediani
Bridesmaid
Maggie and Rachel met at Kenny's Steak House where they worked together for over 8 years! Known as some of the Kenny's OG's (sorry Bret), they've stayed super close through thick and thin. Maggie, her husband Dave, and their three doggies, Toby, Archer, and Sergio have had many many glorious adventures with us and we are so very thankful for their friendship! Like we always say, we'll be BFF couple friends 'till we die!
Derek Weigle
Best Man
As Bret's older, smarter brother Derek was a big influence in molding Bret into the man he is today. They have lived together countless times including a few wild years in Brooklyn and Denver. In fact, Derek saved Bret from almost burning to death in their Brooklyn apartment. Well that's the story Derek tells, Bret has no recollection of the night. He also took Rachel and Bret in while the were transitioning from Fort Collins to Greeley. We are lucky to have so many bad ass siblings! Thanks for being there to celebrate with us.
Elise Harvey
Bridesmaid
Elise and Rachel, you guessed it, worked together at Kenny's Steak House for many years! Elise started out in the Hosting and Catering departments before Rachel got to train her as a server! We had the pleasure of dealing with a crazy lady on her first training night that HATED us. We blame the tattoo on her forehead!! On a more important note, this day wouldn't be happening if it weren't for Elise! The first night Bret and Rachel met, Bret came into Kenny's to have a drink with Elise as Rachel was getting finished with her shift. Rachel mistook Bret as being a "date" that Elise was bringing in. Elise, boggled, responded, "..You've never met my brother?" (lol!)...No, they had never met! And now, the rest is history...THANK YOU ELISE! Life wouldn't be the same.
Betty Cloud
Groomswoman
Betty and Bret met in Fort Collins partially through 415 but mostly because everyone in Fort Collins knows Betty. There is even a bar in Old Town named after her. You can ask her about that. She and Bret became instant friends. She is not only a friend, the Weigle's consider her part of the family. She has even survived Weigle family vacation in Florida. That's a feat in itself. Bret and Betty have had a lifetime of fun together and only known each other 7 short years. We feel more then honored to have Betty here to celebrate the biggest day of our lives! We love you Betty.
Jennifer Kemper
Bridesmaid
Jen and Rachel ALSO met when they worked together at Kenny's Steak House! #kennysOGs4life. They have remained close ever since! Whatever kind of shenanigans Rachel has gotten herself into, Jen has been there to help pick up the pieces and be an amazing support system! From trips to Glenwood to adventures in Lake Powell, Rachel considers Jen one of her bestest friends, and we are very honored that Jen, her husband Jerry, their baby Leeland and Jen's family get to share our special day with us!
Doug Fox
Groomsman
Doug and Bret met at Restaurant 415 where they worked on the line together. They became great friends over the years working side by side as Doug proved to be one of the most bad ass line cooks Bret has ever worked with. We have had great times from Colorado to New York and don't plan on stopping anytime soon!
Tracy Weigle
Bridesmaid
What can we say? Tracy has become the sister that Rachel never had! From borrowing clothes (she's got the goods!) and always being there to help with ANYTHING, to being the handiest female we're pretty sure ANYONE has ever met, we feel ridiculously lucky to have her play a huge part in our big day! Plus, we can't wait for Della to be the sweetest Flower Girl that ever was! Thank you for being you! We don't know what we would do without your humor and (sometimes) cynical but always hilarious and inspiring view on how to live life. We love you guys! And David too!
Ryan Moore
Groomsman
Ryan and Bret met when they worked together at Stampede Steak Ranch (now Kenny's Steak House) #actualkennysOG's4life. They have spent countless hours working together in the kitchen as well as snowboarding all over the country. We are excited to have Ryan and his beautiful family here to celebrate our special day.
Della Weigle
Flower Girl
Every wedding needs a beautiful little flower girl! Della Weigle, Tracy's daughter, agreed to help us say "I do".
Seth Baker
Groomsman
Seth and Bret met at Restaurant 415 in Fort Collins where Seth is part owner. Bret was an original hire when the restaurant opened and they immediately hit if off. As friends and co-workers they have been through some of the worst times (Day 2, Hartman line call, Bret on the Spanish Fryer) and some of the best times (Bret's 30th B-Day). We are both honored and excited to spend the weekend celebrating with you!
Bryson Brug
Usher
As Rachel's brother, Bret is the only boyfriend Bryson has ever actually liked! Whoop whoop. Bret for the win!
Rowan Weigle
Ring Bearer
We can't do a wedding without a ring bearer! Rowan Weigle, Derek's son, has given us the honor of being our ring bearer!
David Frediani
Usher
Dave is great! We love Dave! He is also Maggie's husband and we are excited that he will be there to shuffle people around! No one better for this job. Love you Dave!
David Howard
Usher
We still havn't asked David to do this job but we are sure hoping he says yes!
Gustav Weigle
Usher
Once upon a time, approximately 14 years ago, Art and Juleen sat down all of the Harvey-Weigle siblings to give them some news. They said, "We have big news," and the siblings replied, "What is it?" to which Art replied, "We're getting a boat...and we're going to call it 'The Wandering Whore'," and just about the time the siblings were excited for a boat, Art and Juleen laughed and said, "Just kidding! You're getting a brother (and in Derek's case, a roommate)..." Fourteen years later, he gets everything he wants (damn Goose), and puts most of the siblings to shame with his perfect mixture of everything Harvey AND Weigle. We can't wait for your drum solo, Bro, we love you!
