Meet the Wedding Party!
Daniel Chen
Best Man
Little did Jakob know that after meeting Daniel at Monkey Traverse in 2017, the two would spend thousands of hours over the next six years staring at walls (sometimes climbing them!), smelling each other’s feet (not on purpose!), and being friends (the best of!) together.
Morgan Benninger
Maid of Honor
For as long as Emily can remember (literally), she and Morgan have been friends. Together we have skipped almost as many swim practices as we have completed, hiked almost as many mountains as we've skied down, and celebrated almost as many milestones together as we've each accomplished.
Albert Fosmire
Groomsman
Albert and Jakob have been steadfast friends after meeting in Boulder in 2012. They share a deep love for Thai food, late night talks, and enthusiastic, if less than graceful, dancing to their favorite songs.
Andrea Londono
Bridesmaid
Andrea and Emily became friends when their high school physics teacher, Mr. McKellips, made them lab partners. After all these years, it's safe to say that Mr. McKellips was right when he touted that physics would find us true love.
Connor Martin
Groomsman
Jakob gifted Connor his first CRT in 2014, and the rest is history. A mutual appreciation for Ryan Gosling, Robert Pattinson, and Daniel Craig have acted as the foundation of this friendship for nearly a decade.
Finlay Benninger
Bridesmaid
Emily has known Finlay for her entire life, and at this point we're more like family than friends. Finlay lives in Denver, and spends a surprising amount of time climbing and skiing mountains for someone that is petrified of heights.
Conor Schrader
Groomsman
Conor and Jakob became friends after realizing they have a shared interest good music and good people. An eerily clairvoyant sense of humor between the two has kept them friends ever since. Conor also used to work with Emily at Holland & Hart!
Grace Rhodes
Bridesmaid
Emily is Grace's favorite cousin on her mom's side. Grace is a lover of photography, travel, and sunsets, and is currently working at a summer camp in Wisconsin, and goes back to school in Chicago this fall!
Eric Tobin
Groomsman
Dr. Eric Tobin became Jakob’s first good friend at CU, after they both moved to Boulder in 2011. They met in Willard Hall after Tobin asked Jakob to teach him how to play Super Smash Brothers. While Tobin’s yet to win a game, he’s never lost sight of being one of Jakob’s closest friends. Tobin’s son, also named Jakob, is the ringbearer!
Hannah Oreskovich
Bridesmaid
Jakob's older sister and Emily's future sister-in-law. Hannah lives in Denver, and loves a good beach vacation, going to concerts, and her high maintenance and very cute miniature dachshund, Ziggy.
James Leach
Groomsman
James is the brother of the bride-to-be. More importantly, he’s now Jakob’s brother too. James loves gazpacho, honey by the quart, board games, and his fur-friend, Beaker.
Kirsten Wiegand
Bridesmaid
Emily and Kirsten met at Holland & Hart, and our friendship grew out of countless hours of drafting patents side-by-side. While I am thankful for the bonding we got from working together during so many early mornings and late nights, I much prefer being friends that instead go on walks, hunt for happy hours, and skip work to go skiing.
Louie Long
Groomsman
Louie and Jakob both grew up in the streets of El Camino, and became friends during their time at Pueblo South High School. Over the years they’ve watched many a sunrise, climbed many a mountain, and pooped in many a forest.
Lauren Holley
Bridesmaid
Emily and Lauren met while working at a summer camp together and have been friends ever since, perhaps in part due to their shared love of type 2 fun. Fun facts about Lauren: Lauren lived in Thailand for a few years, is an incredible story teller, and is currently getting a degree in Biblical Studies.
Roman Walker
Groomsman
Roman is Jakob’s godson, making him the fourth generation in a tradition of godparent-age on the Reinhart side of the family. Roman lives in Kansas City, and enjoys playing football and hanging with friends.
Olivia Oreskovich
Bridesmaid
Olivia is Jakob's little sister and soon-to-be Emily's sister too. Olivia loves a good movie, teaching her boyfriend how to play backgammon, and living in LA.
Paul Gornick
Usher
Soon to be best selling author Paul J. Gornick is Jakob’s favorite male cousin on the Oreskovich side. He and Jakob share a love of Nashville hot chicken, combat sports, Blaze Foley, and a good mafioso epic.
Trevor Bruckman
Usher
Emily and Trevor grew up together, and spent summers doing swim team and on family camping trips. Trevor lives in Montana, is a fly fishing guide, and volunteer fire fighter.
