Wedding Party
Tessa Coplin
Maid of Honor
I have had the privilege of knowing Tess since the end of my freshman year of college at SUU. We met when I joined the club rugby team. Truth be told, I was incredibly intimidated by her in the beginning. Thankfully our senses of humor were a match and by the following year we were roommates. We lived together for the rest of college, which has brought about too many adventures and memories over the years to count. I couldn't be more grateful to have had her friendship all these years and have her standing by my side on this incredibly special day.
Kaylee Ogden
Matron of Honor
Kaylee and I's friendship began in middle school, thanks to our equal levels of sass and sarcasm, love of food, and always being willing to go on a summer adventure. We stayed close through high school and even over the 6 years I was gone at college. No matter how crazy life has gotten, we still find time to talk multiple times a week (mostly thanks to Marco Polo). I can always count on her for an honest opinion and more support than I could ever ask for from a person. Beyond excited to have her standing by my side on our special day!
Tiana Seaman
Bridesmaid
Best friends since the 3rd grade, Tiana and her family have played a huge role in my life for years. I will forever be grateful for all the days we spent together as kids. I can't even count the number of hours of 4-wheeler riding, BB gun shooting, weekend shopping, and so many other adventures. Since high school we may not have been able to get together near as often, but every time we do it's like we've never been apart. I could not imagine our wedding day without her by my side!
Tiffany Anderson
Bridesmaid
My oldest sister and 1 of 3 that I will have by my side on our wedding day! From her treating me more like her baby than her baby sister when I was first born, to me refusing to help move her to college because I was upset she had left me, to her and Erik being some of the biggest role models in my life, it's safe to say we have always been close. I look up to her as a sister, a Mom, a wife, and so many other things. I could never repay her and Erik for everything they have done for me, and everything they have done for me and Brandon during our relationship. I'm so happy to have not only my sister, but my best friend, a part of our big day.
Steffany Leib
Bridesmaid
Sister 2 of 3 that will be a part of the big day! I cannot remember a time I have spent with Steff that has not been goofy and fun. She was the only family I had close for my 4 years at SUU and I will be forever grateful for that. Whenever I needed time with family, Steff was there no questions asked and there was usually an adventure to go along with it. She is a constant reminder of how to take on the world, plus a little more, and make it look like just another day. And also to never take it all too seriously. If I can handle everything this crazy life can throw at you even half as good as she can, I know I will make it through just fine. So grateful to have Steff by my side on one of the most special days of my life!
Katie Keller
Bridesmaid
Last but certainly not the least, sister 3 of 3! Katie and I spent the most time together as kids. And while I know back then she didn't always love having to take her little sister with her everywhere, I'd like to think we are both grateful now that she did. Majority of our weekends and summers were spent at Grandma & Papa's house riding horses, doing 4-H crafts, stacking wood, spraying weeds, and the countless other chores Pops could come up with. Whether it was chores or launching each other off a giant air mattress, we always found a way to make the most of it. I don't even want to imagine what my childhood would have been like without her and all those adventures. While we have yet to live close to each other since then, we somehow always find a way to do the same thing at the same time (you're welcome Mom & Dad). But if my life had to line up with anyones, I feel pretty honored that it would be Kate's. I'm so thankful for all the advice, support, and funny animal videos over the years, and couldn't imagine our wedding day without her in it.
Words From Brandon
Groom
Each and every one of these guys are more than just friends to me, they are family. Even though our adult lives are busy, it takes only minutes for us to be right back into our old jokes and having fun. Thank you, to each of you, for playing a big role in my life, and standing by my side on this special day.
Angelo Brennan
Best Man
He can guide you on a fishing trip in Alaska and then remove the hook from your ear due to a mistimed cast. My best man is a jack of all trades, but first and foremost, he is my best friend, and a brother to me. I am beyond thankful for you and your family introducing me to the outdoors, taking me fishing and waterfowl hunting growing up. Some of my favorite stories to tell are when we were fishing up in Alaska having the time of our lives as middle school/high school kids.
Ian Campbell
Groomsman
Ian and I met in college and shared a love for live music. Coincidentally, we also shared a passion for drinking lots of beer at said live music events. Our friendship has gotten stronger and stronger over the years and I am thankful to have him next to me to celebrate this special day.
Bubba Sellars
Groomsman
If work hard and party harder had a face, Bubba would be the guy. His nomad/wanderer spirit has taken him all over the states in pursuit of capturing moments behind a lens. I am soo thankful to have joined Bubba for concerts, bar crawls, cross country drives, and did I mention bar crawls? My only word of advice, if Bubba asks to go to a bar and have “just one” drink, know that you’re going to need a ride home, some electrolytes, and couch time the next day.
Todd King
Groomsman
If you have ever read through a dictionary, you'd find a picture of Todd right next to “passionate”. Once he has a goal in mind, a hobby, or a relationship, he is all in. He is consistent with keeping up with all of his friendships and inspires me to try to do better at keeping up with my family and friends. His passion for music and food has brought us many great memories and a friendship that will last a life time.
Dustin Hamlet
Groomsman
Dustin played a key role in my life in Bend, OR. Dustin allowed me to move into his house at the very beginning of Courtney and my relationship. He not only provided me a home to live in, but him and Amanda provided me with self-confidence, love, and a family environment. I will forever cherish our card/dice game nights while Dustin tried to pretend like he disliked Amanda’s karaoke shenanigans.
Tyler Smith
Groomsman
Tyler is one of the most talented humans that I know. He is able to google something and almost instantly be good at it. He is a continuous learner and may be the person that invented “Alexa” so that he doesn’t have to look up so many questions. His family spoiled me growing up, allowing me to tag along on trips to the beach, mountain cabin, boat rides, and many more. I cannot thank you and your family enough for all of these great adventures and for playing such a big role in my life.
