Our People

Celebrating our love with the people that we love. Meet our wedding party! These people have become such an important part of our lives and we are incredibly grateful for their love and support over the years.

Chasmine Malabanan

Maid of Honor

Chas and I have been inseparable since day 1 & have been through so much together. From joint birthday parties, to spontaneous road trips, through the heartbreaks and milestones, Chas has been with me every step of the way. Fun fact- Chas & I spontaneously got matching tattoos in 2019


Rain Yabut

Man of Honor

There’s only 2 people that I think are funnier than Jack, and Rain is one of them (the other is Seth). Rain is not only the funniest person I know, but he is my confidant and my go-to. He is the best person to have as my man of honor and I'm so lucky he gets to stand by me on my big day! Fun fact- Rain can solve a Rubik’s cube in 18 seconds & also taught me how to solve one (my record is only 32 seconds tho which is not as impressive)

Brandon Burgess

Best Man

BB and I have been friends since high school and were roommates our freshman year of college. BB’s family is like a second family to me. We enjoy our time at the bars and golfing whenever possible. Strengths: good at hockey, gives good golf advice, hand and ankle model, understands the NFL salary cap Weaknesses: short, big ears, snores aggressively loud, fragile collar bone


Alexander Meadows

Best Man

I met Alex my freshman year when we decided to throw snowballs at passing cars by our high school (bad idea). We played football together all throughout high school and have been best friends ever since. We were roommates for 6 years in Boulder, Denver, Broomfield, and DTC. Strengths: great roommate, good at Call of Duty, solid beer pong partner Weaknesses: corn hole, bouncers, drivers with a bendy shaft (golf reference)

Milani Ivery-Rogers

Maid of Honor

My best friend, other half & the best thing that happened to me when living in Georgia!! Milani & I met freshman year of college at a midweek for church & I even helped her study the Bible. Our different personalities somehow formed an inseparable friendship and despite being hundreds of miles away, we still remain super close :) Fun fact- Milani’s go-to snack is marshmallows (specifically peeps). She’ll even keep some marshmallows in her purse incase she gets hungry when she’s out & about


Austin Cavaliere

Groomsman

AC and I met playing youth football together in the fifth grade. We’ve always been really close & were roommates on two separate occasions. AC is incredibly loyal and we love drinking and watching the Broncos together. Strengths: goes to the gym, runs a pretty famous twitter page @dailybroncos, “loyal to the soil” Weaknesses: Broncos reporter Benjamin Allbright, likes to call the season over after 3 games, extremely loud for no reason, encourages shots every time we hang out

Kylie Allen

Bridesmaid

I met Kylie back in 2020 on a camping trip for 4th of July. That weekend was one of the best weekends ever, despite listening to courtesy of the red, white and blue on repeat thanks to Zach. Kylie is one of the easiest and most relatable people to talk to. She genuinely cares about those around her & I know she'll always be there for me whenever I need her. Fun fact- KYLIE IS A DIE HARD CHIEFS FAN!!!!


Austin Pearn

Groomsman

AP and I met when we played youth baseball together. We also were roommates in Boulder together. AP is fun, has a funny guy laugh and is always down for whatever! Strengths: tall (can reach high things), dresses well, can yell really loud Weaknesses: fitting in midsized sedans, ordering electronics off of wish, has a propensity for breaking doors

Krystell Ryan

Bridesmaid

Krystell has become like an older sister to me. Throughout this whole wedding process, Krystell has been my go-to person for ALL things wedding related. She had the Pinterest boards ready, all the family addresses on excel & answered any questions I had. I would be so lost without her! Fun fact- Krystell has the biggest sweet tooth & we both LOVE doughnuts :) but she’s allergic to cinnamon!!! So tragic


Cole Lehman

Groomsman

Cole and I go back to high school where we played football together. The guys and I used to spend our free time at his house hanging out and watching football games. Cole beat me to the punch and is getting married a month before me in July! Strengths: over 6ft, can consistently touch net, solid music recommendations Weaknesses: can’t dunk, swings a golf club with the strength of a pool noodle, went through a period where he wore a backwards duke visor

Elaine Haith

Bridesmaid

When I first started dating Jack, I remember being so nervous to meet some of his friends and their girlfriends. The first time I met Ellie was on New Years a couple years ago and I was so shy. Ellie turned out being the sweetest person ever & ever since then we've been really close. Her and her boyfriend, Tucker, live in Kansas City, so we get really excited whenever we get to see them! Fun fact- Ellie is pretty much a dog whisperer & will watch any/every dog if asked


Jedd DelosReyes

Groomsman

Jedd is one of Renee’s cousins but has become one of my closest friends. Jedd is an absolutely electric human being who is always fun to be around. Jedd likes to dance and aspires to be a future member of the Jabbawockeez dance group. One day, Jedd. Strengths: good dancer, will help us move for hours without hesitation, drives a Prius so he cares about the environment, pretty good roulette player, once ate a scorpion Weaknesses: lives in Fort Collins, says he’s a heavyweight but is actually a lightweight, trash at Super Smash Bros (Renee agrees too)

Leana Malabanan

Bridesmaid

My mini-me/the little sister I never had. Growing up, family members would always tell us how similar we are. Ana is sassy, a Hufflepuff, loves going to the gym & loves spending time with her friends and family. I love watching her grow up & seeing everything she accomplishes. Fun fact- Ana is weirdly obsessed with Stitch from Lilo & Stitch and Tom Holland


Luke Lytle

Groomsman

One half of the greatest brother tandem of all time. Luke and I met when he was very young. Even though there is an 8-year age gap between us, we’ve always been really close. Luke and I like to golf together whenever we get the chance. Strengths: makes good music, dresses adequately, likes to golf Weaknesses: bad at golf, had a beer or two before he was 21, drowned all of Sam’s pickmin in a video game because he was mad at Sam

Maaryn Davis

Bridesmaid

I met Maaryn during the pandemic, while our boyfriends were living together. Due to COVID, we spent the first year of our friendship in the confinement of the guys apartment so I got to know her pretty well. Maaryn is the life of the party and gets everyone in a good mood. She is one of the most selfless people I know & everyone needs a Maaryn in their life :) Fun fact- Maaryn and I are obsessed with mind-bending movies & will send each other movie/show recommendations on what to watch next hehe (we highly recommend watching Coherence if you’re also into those kind of movies)


Mitchell Ross

Groomsman

I met Mitch playing football in high school and we have been great friends ever since. Our junior and senior year of high school, Mitch and I had a majority of our classes together, and would spend our long lunches watching the Maury Povich show. Mitch also slept on the floor of Alex, AC and my apartment for 3 months when he moved back to Colorado and hated every minute of it. Strengths: big guy (think Ray Lewis), always has sunscreen, moderately reliable planner, drives a Raptor, most responsible guy in our friend group Weaknesses: buying shirts that fit, the sun, always the first to die in video games, Raptor isn’t actually his

Finley Malabanan

Bridesmaid

Growing up, "Leonard" would be at my house more times than she was at her own and she became like a sister to me. She has an electric personality and could probably kick your butt in Dungeons & Dragons and super smash bros. (only on Nintendo Switch tho). Fun fact: A lot of people cried when I got engaged (including myself), but Finley cried more than anyone else did when she found out I was getting engaged😭💛 I love her so much


Samuel Lytle

Groomsman

The other half of the greatest brother tandem to ever live. Me and Sam met when he was born, and being only 3 years younger than me, we’ve always been really close. Sam and I enjoy playing video games together and hitting the occasional piano bar on vacation. Strengths: good at video games, similar sense of humor, reliable escape room abilities Weaknesses: can’t hang at piano bars, worst texter I’ve ever met, used to drink lemon juice for fun (who does that??)

Teagan Claggett

Bridesmaid

Teagan was the first girlfriend I met out of Jack’s friends. She was super intimidating at first, but once I got to know her she became one of the most fun and real people I've ever met. Teagan is always down for a good time and whenever you hangout with her you just know you're going to have fun. Teagan also has the most nicknames I’ve ever known someone to have (Teg, Teags, falcon, Claggs are just a few). Fun fact- Teagan has a dog named Stanley & he is pretty much the mascot of our friend group. WE LOVE STAN


Tucker Zorn

Groomsman

Tucker and I met at freshman orientation at the University of Kansas and that’s when I found out he was living in the dorm room right next to me. Since then, we’ve loved golfing together and going down to his lake house in Alabama. Tucker also visits Colorado multiple times a year and is hoping to move to Colorado soon. Strengths: golf handicap is a 5, likes to drive the boat, cheers for the Avs, looks great in a cowboy hat Weaknesses: probably lies about his handicap, cheers for the Chiefs, had braces for forever

Marjerie Carpenter

Bridesmaid

My cousins will all agree when I say that MM is the wisest and most responsible cousin out of all of us. MM gives the best advice & is always there for me whenever I need to talk. She's the type of person who would drop everything to make sure you're okay & I'm so grateful to have her in my corner :) Fun fact- MM is a psycho planner (like myself) which is why we get along so well.


Zachary Lewis

Groomsman in Heaven

I met Zach when we started playing youth baseball together. I remember him as our catcher and for doing the Napoleon Dynamite dance after we won. Zach was one of our closest friends. He had an electric personality, the funniest catchphrases & a heart of pure gold. He loved his friends and family more than he loved himself & he was so special to the both of us. To know him was to love him. Our big day won’t be the same without him, but we know he’s in Heaven smiling down on us. We miss you so much brother. Strengths: great mustache, decent at putting out fires, can do the Copperhead Road dance better than the people who made the dance, once did a backflip on a snowboard, four lokos Weaknesses: trash at the following- golf, madden, Call of Duty, 2K and NHL 3s, jumping off benches (broken leg), driving stick, four lokos
