Courtney & Bennett

Thursday, September 22, 2022 • Lyons, CO
Sara 'Muffy' Self
Sara 'Muffy' Self - Co-Officiant
Muffy is Bennett's sister. She technically introduced Bennett and Courtney to each other, but had no idea that it would lead to this! She and Bennett have always had a close bond - a confidante, but also someone who has no problem calling Bennett out on his BS. Bennett's favorite memory with Muffy: When you were the watchdog and would alert me whenever mom was heading towards the garage... you know the story.
Drew Woolsey
Drew Woolsey - Co-Officiant
Drew is Courtney's younger brother. While they spent many of their younger years fighting and tattling on each other, as siblings generally do, they share a strong protective bond. Drew knows how to keep it real, and his dry humor and wit keep you humble! Courtney's favorite memory with Drew: That time I gave you a scoop of wasabi and told you it was guacamole.
Matt Ontiveros Burt
Matt Ontiveros Burt - Best Man
Matt is Bennett's cousin, but they're really more like brothers. The two spent their younger years attached at the hip. Matt has been influential in encouraging Bennett to further his education, and has been supportive of his big life transitions. Bennett's favorite memory with Matt: Sneaking into Hughes Stadium after hours, collecting belongings that others' left behind (AKA plastic cups, and coins - if they were lucky).
Tiffani Kelly
Tiffani Kelly - Maid of Honor
Tiffani and Courtney met Sophomore year of college at CSU. Since then, they've been roommates and besties. Tiffani is the type of friend who will illegally break the speed limit to drive you the hospital when you're about to deliver a child - true story. Courtney's favorite memory with Tiffani: Jersey Shore party! Cabs are heeere!
Justin Regner
Justin Regner - Groomsman
Bennett met Justin in June 2006, when Justin moved in down the street. They became close friends, golf partners, and softball teammates. Many late nights were spent watching UFC, playing Golden Tee, and listening to 80's music. Bennett's favorite memory with Justin: Winning a golf championship together as "The City Team" - cue South Park reference.
Jay Weineke
Jay Weineke - Groomsman
Jay and Bennett met shortly after Bennett returned to Colorado, after living in Florida for a few years. They were actually set up by Bennett's mother, Josie. Jay quickly became accustomed to Bennett's family dynamic and was welcomed with open arms. Bennett's favorite memory with Jay: playing washers until 3am.
Tim Weinmann
Tim Weinmann - Groomsman
Tim and Bennett have known each other since kindergarten. They were neighbors on Stover Street, and Tim soon became a staple in Dodee's Daycare. As adults they enjoy reminiscing about their childhood, shooting hoops, and watching sports. Bennett's favorite memory with Tim: Our time spent growing up together - picking raspberries and playing basketball.
Clint Winkler
Clint Winkler - Groomsman
Clint and Bennett met through a Craigslist ad...no really! When Bennett moved to Salt Lake City, he desperately needed to find a place to live. He stopped on I-80 to fill up his gas tank, and found Clint's ad looking for a roommate. Bennett did his best to convince Clint he was not a serial killer, and was given the go ahead to move in two days later. Bennett's favorite memory of Clint: of course - the story of how they met, but also staying up late trading crazy stories and playing darts.
Blake Kerival
Blake Kerival - Groomsman
Bennett and Blake first met in 2003 as co-workers at the Marriott of Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra, Florida. Their extroverted and energetic personalities matched well, and they quickly became friends.

Melody Jones

Mel and Courtney also met at CSU through the Native American Cultural Center and through mutual friends. Mel is a valuable friend because she has the ability to see both sides of the story, and brings empathy, understanding, and tact into every conversation. Courtney's favorite memory with Mel: Family trip to Saratoga where Mel almost capsized the raft and Courtney sunburned until she blistered.
Jordan Weinmann

Jordan and Courtney connected after meeting at a local park. Tim and Bennett had been friends for decades, and our family's soon became inseparable.

Courtney's favorite memory with Jordan: Our first time really bonding over 7 layer taco dip.

Courtney's favorite memory with Rachael: meeting backstage right before graduation for a pep talk and a coffee.
