Wedding Party
Brian Collins
Officiant
Also known as Lil b, Paul's best friend since the age of five. They met by having rival lemonade stands but quickly learned they would be friends. They grew up down the street and spent countless hours playing sports, video games, and running around the area doing pranks. Even to this day, they have a competition on football bets every weekend (Paul has been pulling away in winnings🙌). More often than not when they call each other for a brief call, it ends up being an hour of jokes and their latest learnings on life. If you get these two together for a night out, buckle up. Brian currently resides in Denver with his beautiful wife, Bridget, and their adorable newborn son, Michael.
Lacey Taylor
Maid of Honor
Lindsey's sister, confidante, and arch nemesis of 31 years, Lacey, has been there through it all (from birth). Lacey and Lindsey (the Taylor sisters you can call them), have always been thick as thieves, same but different, frolicking through life together through the ups and downs. Lacey's unwavering support, firecracker personality, and constant love for her Big Sister makes her one of a kind. Lacey will always be Lindsey's Best Friend, naturally having her back from day one, and always wanting what's best for her in this ride we call life. Lacey lives in Florida, with her amazing husband Mike, and her soon to be baby girl, Jetty. As the circle of life continues, we can't wait to welcome another "Taylor Girl" to the family. We are sure she's going to fit right in :)
Will McKelvy
Best Man
Meet Paul's brother, Will. Growing up they played army, cowboys and Indians, building forts and creating adventures together. The two were in Boy Scouts together and having their Pops as the Scoutmaster was a treasured adventure shared by all (and their Mom having tasty treats waiting for them when they got back). Will is the one who always knows how to tie the knots, the way of the river, and packing lightly. Will has always had a passion for the great outdoors - from biking and camping to taking care of their Jeep. He's always been the one to lead the way on their family camping trips, which has led to so many fond memories of life together. Paul looks up to Will's tenacity in life and he has helped teach Paul how to face and tackle adversity. Will currently lives in Maryland with his partner, Mary, and they make a great team. They both love to explore the outdoors and the surrounding areas together.
Nicolene Durham
Bridesmaid
Nika, as we call her, has been a constant light in Lindsey's life for over a decade now. Nika and Lindsey met in Vail, waiting tables, at the infamous Red Lion. They immediately bonded over their love for the mountains, great music, and taking "O Bomb" shots. Nika and Lindsey's friendship has grown tremendously over the last 5 years, as life has changed for the both of them, but their constant support and love for one another has not. You can always count on Nika to be Lindsey's dancing partner, voice of reason (sometimes), and life of the party. Nika lives across the park from Lindsey and Paul, with her boyfriend Sam. She's always just a few blocks away, and we hope that stays that way.
Iain Chisholm
Groomsman
Iain is Paul's cousin. Iain has been a mentor to Paul in many aspects of life, teaching Paul about the restaurant/bar business as well as life in general. This was a chapter in each of their lives that will never be forgotten and brought them wisdom and clarity. Iain has a crazy entrepreneur spirit, always working hard to make his dreams a reality. The two of them lived together for a bit and the stories they have seem like a folk tale (Animal House - if you will). They've had so much fun running a business and keeping each other on their toes. Legend has it that if you see Iain and Paul together - it'll be a night to remember. Iain currently lives in Denver and is building his business empire.
Jenna Akins
Bridesmaid
Jenna has been Lindsey's ride or die since the sixth grade. Some would say that a 20+ years long friendship qualifies now as family, and Lindsey would agree on that term. Jenna has truly seen Lindsey go through all stages of life, and has always been her rock, defender, and best friend through it all. Whether they were sneaking out of the house in high school or throwing house parties, Jenna and Lindsey were always in the best kind of trouble together. As life has slowed down a bit for both of them (getting old is fun), they stay in constant contact, and when they're together, it's like they never skipped a beat. Jenna lives in Florida, with her wonderful boyfriend Austin, and their four beautiful children. Lindsey and Paul try to visit as much as possible, and love being the cool Aunt and Uncle to the kids.
