Wedding Party
Kate Everson
Maid of Honor
For most people, 2020 and the COVID pandemic meant social seclusion and isolation - yet I was somehow lucky enough to meet Kate Everson, simply by chance that our future husbands happened to share a bedroom wall and a love for each other, as she and I soon would. Kate is one of the most brilliant and kind people you'll ever meet! We bonded over our mutual love of food and cooking, Mamma Mia, and reggaeton. Between our ski trips and charcuterie nights, I've come to truly love and cherish this Canadian treasure. She's helped me grow into myself out here in Colorado, and I'm so lucky to have not only have her as one of my best friends, but as my Maid of Honor! Put on a Bad Bunny song and watch her fly across the dance floor!
Krista Runchey
Bridesmaid
Back in 2015, I got a Facebook message from someone claiming to be my roommate for a study-abroad in Paris. Didn't realize I had one, but thank God I did, because her name was Krista. We bonded instantly, exploring the streets of Paris (cheesy, I know), having wine nights on the Champ de Mars, and almost losing each other in the Metro. We've seen each other through love and loss, highs and lows, and all 8 seasons of Game of Thrones (which were their own highs and lows). Whether we were together back in Tucson, here in Colorado, or separated between states and countries, she's been a shining light in my life for the past decade. This girl is a firecracker, you never know what you're gonna get! Ask her about my precious goddaughter she's brought into our lives!
Brie Hopping-Merlino
Bridesmaid
If you're looking for a date to the theatre, look no further than Brie! She not only shares my love for musical theatre, but enables it. From Hamilton to Six to Hairspray and many more to come, we've shared so many great times! We love our bougie dinners at ChoLon or Rioja, but you'll more often find us catching up while enjoying a meal of pho, dumplings, or Thai noodles. She's someone I love to laugh with, and she makes it so easy! From a roommate of convenience to becoming one of my best friends, I'm so lucky to have her! Ask her about her current reads, this girl is a book worm!
Tori Leu
Bridesmaid
Tori is probably the class clown of the bridesmaids. She is the one who lifts me up when I need it the most, because damn can this girl make me laugh! (Not to mention she gives the best hugs!) We've also influenced and enabled each-other's love for trash reality TV, introducing each other to the worlds of Mormon wives and Lisa Vanderpump. Despite her love for drama on TV, she manages to find a way to be the voice of reason, and has always had my back when I've needed her the most. Ask her about her favorite method to eat potatoes (make sure you have 10-15 minutes to spare)!
Lauren May
Bridesmaid
Lauren is the sweet Italian mom you've always wanted, but she's also my friend and she's a damn good time! A fellow Arizonan found her way to Colorado, and she let me into her life and her family (lucky me!). Thank goodness she shares my obsession with Trader Joe's, we always let each other in on the latest scoop! She can cook AND bake - a rare find! She is the hostess with the mostest, and I'm so lucky to have her and her beautiful family in my life! She's so incredibly caring and loving, but she can turn the party on when called for! Put on some Pink Pony Club and watch her shine!
Jack Colvin
Best Man
Jack is Zane's oldest younger brother, only 2 years younger than Zane. Growing up together, Zane was always messing with Jack, but you couldn't ask for a better brother. Jack won't hesitate to help you out and has great patience (probably from dealing with Zane for so many years). Jack is a great photographer, and many of the pictures on this website (including the proposal shots) were actually taken by Jack. With so many different interests and talents, Jack fits in well with the phrase "jack of all trades" and he truly can do it all.
Chris Kling
Groomsman
Zane met Chris (from Craig) on the first day he moved into the University of Colorado. Though Chris lived in a different room, he spent most of his time in Zane and Bryce's room and they've been close ever since, even living together for many years during and after college. Chris loves the Broncos and is a pretty great carpenter, though he'll deny it if you tell him. Chris is usually the tallest one in the room and should be fairly easy to spot. If you need something off the top shelf, he'll be happy to help.
Bryce Egan
Groomsman
Zane first met Bryce back in middle school, but really became close at the end of high school and into college at CU when they lived together for many years. If your ever curious what they got up to during that time, just ask Bryce about the story of Reginold and Lenolius the Floor God. Bryce loves computer hardware, having built many computers for people throughout our friend group, and he has seemingly endless sports knowledge on different players and team stats. If you've got 1 to 8 hours to kill and a hot tub, Bryce would love to be there and you'll probably end up learning something new.
Casey Lee
Groomsman
Casey and Zane met in highschool through mutual friends and have grown close ever since. Close enough that they lived together for 2 years before Zane and Andrea moved south to Castle Rock. Casey is a die hard Avalanche fan and plays as a hockey goalie many times a week. His love for hockey is rivaled only by his love for Mountain Dew and Twisted Tea.
Cole Werner-Holland
Groomsman
Cole is Zane's youngest brother. Though he's 15 years younger, he's consistently one of the tallest 14 year olds around. Maybe one day he'll hit 6'5", but for now he's still the little brother who had his diapers changed by Zane. He loves playing soccer and is starting to get into basketball.
Emilio Anaya
Officiant
Emilio is the younger brother of the bride. He is affectionately known in our family as the Energizer Bunny, because there's no stopping or slowing him down. You'll often find him running around the mountains (and bragging that the rest of us can't keep up). He enjoys being around nature, engaging in activities like hiking, camping, and fishing. He's always been a big supporter of Andrea and Zane, and we are honored to have him officiate our wedding and help us become husband and wife.
