Matt Ellsworth

Having a twin brother is pretty special. In anticipation, I'll help with some FAQs: Can you read each other's minds? Yes. If I pinch you, does your twin feel it? Yes. Who's your mom's favorite? Zach. Lucky to have this guy by my side! In the words of Carmen Ohio... time and change have surely shown, how firm thy friendship.

Mustang. Hoosier. A modern day Kevin McCallister. If asked, "Sir, one bourbon or two?", he'd respond "Two? Make it three. I'm not driving."
Meredith Willyard

Lifetime pass holder to colonial Williamsburg, the thriving capital of Virginia from 1699 to 1780.

A fellow mountain bride who went to every school from grade school to Miami with the bride.

Chris Linko
Groomsman
The man, the myth, and the legend that introduced Ben to Ann. Master of Ceremonies. Pioneer of adventure. Does he have a gadget for that? Yes, next question. I can't believe he's a professional skier!
Meghan Savel

Nic Enriquez

A-B-C. A-Always, B-Be, C-Celebrating. Always be celebrating, always be celebrating. Nic's famous words have become mantra for corporate America and small pockets of Wyoming. It goes without saying, this Groomsman was voted most likely to wear a bolo tie and Gucci slides to the Mangy Moose.
Meghan Linko

She's beauty. She's grace. She's Meg. She crunches numbers as hard as she shreds black Diamonds, but she shines most brightly as a friend of the bride and groom.

Matt Magnuson
Groomsman
Rumor has it that his strong compassion and well-tempered nature are cobbled from enduring a lifetime of Chicago Bears 3-13 seasons. While his positive qualities will last a lifetime, we expect the Chicago Bears fortunes to change in the year 2044, when the second coming of "Sweetness" will ceremoniously lead Chicago to back-to-back Super Bowl Championships.

Livie Magnuson
Flower Girl
Hide yo' wife, hide yo' flowers! She loves "Chicken Flay" and wearing princess dresses. Even better if she is doing both.

Her namesake, Walter Payton, went by the nickname "Sweetness”. When measuring sweetness, she might have him beat....just don't take her snacks or her flowers, or you might get a growl.
Mae Ellsworth
Baby Bearer
The only 6 month old that we trust with the responsibility of keeping the rings safe. She puts a smile across our face, "Lovely, Lady Mae."
