Annie & Matthew
Wedding Party
Megan Freyschlag
Maid of Honor
Megan and Annie met in the hospital room on July 4, 1992... Annie has been ruining Megan's photos with double chin faces ever since.
Christopher Kownick
Best Man
Chris (AKA "Critter") cut his teeth following Matt fearlessly down the ski mountains growing up. He’s taken his talents west… to Iowa. Not skiing, but engineering in God's Country.
Kaitlin Kownick
Bridesmaid
Growing up, Kaitlin was known as the bag lady. You need a bag? She’s got 5. She’s turned that passion into teaching and pickle ball. Fair trade. She'll be the spunky redhead on the dance floor.
Peter Freyschlag
Groomsman
Two of Annie's favorite memories of her brother, Pete: One was his refusal to eat Micky Mouse pancakes at Disney World because they were too cute, and the other is an elaborate fiasco involving the gorilla at Casa Bonita sneaking up on him. In Pete's words... “I still have nightmares about that dang gorilla.”
Keevyn Hagar
Bridesmaid
Keevyn and Annie have been best friends since they were 10 years old when they went to Catholic School together. They also did 4H together when they were kids - showing dogs, rabbits, lambs (Keevyn), and pigs (Annie) in the county fair. Keevyn has been a pillar in helping Annie pursue a relationship with Jesus.
John Kraft
Groomsman
John and Matt were locker buddies from 7th-12th grade. That's the only thing they have in common.
Charlotte Willard
Bridesmaid
Charlotte and Annie have been globe-trotting adventure buddies since freshman year of college. They’ve been to 9 countries together including France, Switzerland, Spain, Belgium, Netherlands, Scotland, Dominican Republic, Belize, and Guatemala.
John Lieser
Groomsman
Matt and John know each other from college. Let's just say this... John Lieser is the quintessential cool guy. His one downside is, he doesn't like the way he looks in baseball caps.
Katherine Holt
Bridesmaid
Katherine is Annie’s cousin. They became very close when they both lived overseas at the same time- Katherine in London and Annie in Switzerland. Since then, they have grown in faith together, studying the Bible every week together and becoming like sisters.
Tyler Curran
Groomsman
Tyler and Matt have been friends since grade school. Be sure to ask Tyler about the ski ramps we made in his back yard.
Olivia Contillo
Bridesmaid
Annie was Olivia's nanny for more than a decade back in Glenwood Springs, Colorado! They always shared a love of art, horses, and adventure. They have remained friends since then.
Ross Larson
Groomsman
Ross and Matt met freshman year of college. Rooming together for four years... they know a lot about each other. Be sure to ask Ross about Matt's sleep walking adventures.
Kelli Tichy
Bridesmaid
Kelli and Annie met freshman year of college. Kelli's former barrel racing horse, Colonel joined Annie's animal pack after college and they got super close riding horses together.
Richard Smallwood
Groomsman
Richard and Matt go way back to 4th grade. Matt has a vivid memory of being in Richard's maroon Jeep Liberty, blowing speakers out to Electric Avenue and fully covering other cars in sticky notes.
