Brittney and Kelsey met when both of their dogs became Instagram "famous" and Kelsey's dogs were models for Brittney's dog bandana business. Brittney is a fun loving southern soul who has a strong passion for all animals. She continues to try and teach Kelsey to love (extra) sweet tea.
Louden Griser
Groomsman
Colin and Louden met numerous at the beginning of college at Colorado School of Mines and Colin was not very fond of Louden at that time. When the two of them were placed in the same building as Resident Assistants and started working together Colin eventually came around and found out that Louden was one of the most loyal and fun people to be around. Colin and Louden became best friends and most people joked around that we were inseparable through out our times in Residence Life. Although they have not lived as close to each other, as they did in college, Louden remains a very important part of Colin's life and one of his best friends.
Faith Oehlerking
Groomsmaid
Faith and Colin met in college when they had some mutual friend but didn't really become great friends till they were both Resident Assistants together in Weaver Towers. Faith and Colin would hang out about everyday that first year and Faith became one of the people that Colin trusted most during that time. Faith is one of the few people that will always laugh at Colin's stupid jokes and has a very similar sense of humor to him. Although they haven't lived in the same state since graduating college, Faith and Colin are still very close friends and Colin always trust her to give him good advice even when he doesn't always agree with it.
Justin Juranek
Groomsman
Justin lived down the street from Kelsey's house in Colorado and at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic Wilson and Tom needed exercise, so Colin and Kelsey introduced themselves to Justin and his wife Ashton who have two dogs (Marcus and Avery). The four dogs loved playing together and from then Justin, Colin, Kelsey, and Ashton began to hang out weekly. Justin and Colin both love to play golf and began a weekly golf outing nearby where they golfed every week during the summer of 2020. Since then Justin has become not only a great golf partner. but a great friend and is always willing to help Kelsey and Colin out whenever they need.
Cora Eliasson
Flower Girl
Cora is Colin's sister and has been a very important part of his life since she was born when Colin was 11. Cora was always in attendance for Colin's sporting and marching band events and has always been very supportive. Colin and Cora enjoy making up silly dad jokes and playing board games.
Wilson
Ring Bearer
Wilson, the Pupweiser dog! Coming from a descendent of the real Beethoven, Wilson is best known as the dog on the Budweiser holiday beer cans. He is a goofy 2 year old dog that loves his mom and playing with his brother Tom.
Tom
Ring Bearer
Tom, named after Tom Brady, is a rescue dog that we adopted on our first Valentine's Day together. He loves to nap, cuddle with Colin and destroy things. Despite being half of Wilson's size, Tom is much stronger and wins at tug of war every single time.
