Our Story

There are not enough words in this world to express how much we love our mommas! Evan and Grace want to highlight the love that each mother has given to this marriage and relationship. Mary Ann has shown Evan what Grace will be like in 30 years - making up silly songs and dancing to Motown while baking cookies. 

Mary Ann 

Where to begin... Mark is... Mark? Who? That guy raised kids? While holding two beers? That takes skill! Man, that guy is my hero! 
Mark raised all his kids to enjoy each moment, love family, and embracing all things life has to offer. There was never a dull moment and never a time he wasn't there to pick them up, dust them off, and tell them to get back on their feet. 

Mark

We love Marina! Marina enjoys the finer things in life like dancing, a good cocktail, and water aerobics. However, the biggest thing we love about Marina is that she showed Evan all the great chick flicks. Grace didn't need to bring him up-to-speed on Legally Blonde quotes or Miss Congeniality references. 

Marina

Rudy is the reason Evan became the man he is. Rudy shared his love for cars and riding  dirt bikes at Lake El Mirage. Rudy and Evan enjoyed fast cars at Carlsbad dragstrip. He showed what a man is capable of doing with his hands through hard work and, to Evan, that is priceless knowledge. 

Rudy

Yes, I know, another Grace at the alter. Grace and Grace have been dear friends since the first day at the University of Denver. They share a name, a wall for a few years, and a deep love for frozen ABBA. However, if both Graces show up in a wedding gown, there will be problems.

Grace

Jason is Evan's middle brother. He fought off Evan's school bullies,  shot him countless times with an airsoft gun, and chased him around the kitchen island.  Evan learned his love of  video games and  shooting firearms because of Jason. 

Jason

Charlene is the one to blame for this whole thing as she has guided Evan through his dating journey. She convinced Evan to get a puppy, since that seemed to be the only way to a woman's heart. And it worked! Grace is so happy to gain a sister and Evan is much more lovable with Charlie. 

Charlene

Rudy is Evan's oldest brother by 7 years. When Rudy wasn't trying to marry Charlene, he taught Evan how to jump a bike. He built countless skateboard ramps. Rudy is the reason Evan moved to Colorado and even had a chance at meeting Grace.

Sarah and Grace met at the sorority recruitment in their freshman year. While their sorority years did not last long, their friendship has withstood many ski trips, boyfriends, and the occasional fart joke. You can find Sarah and Grace making last minute plans for their next adventure - however, this time, Sarah has plenty of time to glam up. 

Sarah

Mark is Grace's middle brother. He was Grace's personal model to practice make-up on as a child. Fortunately, Grace has a whole bridal party to model this time! Mark has the best song recommendations and speech ideas, but do not give him a microphone! He accepted Evan into his family through their common interests in off-roading and shooting. Evan and Grace are honored to have Mark support them through this journey. 

Jodi (Dodi) and Grace met while Studying abroad, but their adventures don't stop there! They have traveled to the Virgin Islands, all throughout Colorado, and even to the Emergency Room.  Jodi was there to witness the Great Fall of 2021 where Grace broke many, many bones in her body. With the help of her stupid jokes, Grace was nursed back to health and Jodi has yet to ski with Grace again.

Jodi

Leo is Grace's baby brother. Grace was hoping to get a little sister but ended up with a Leo instead. Evan and Leo bonded over their love of margaritas and strippers. Grace has also bonded over their love of margaritas, but not strippers. Leo is the wild-card to keep this group on their toes! Just don't let him hold the bear-spray. 

Erika and Grace met in South Africa while studying abroad in 2016. Erika is an avid fan of SpongeBob, any Will Ferrell reference, and hot dogs (weens) . Needless to say, her and Grace became fast friends. While the bond seems odd, it will  get weirder before it gets better. Stay tuned to watch her on the dance floor. 

Erika

Tom was one of Evan's roommates in Huntington Beach. They spent their time getting lost dirt biking, jumping mountain bikes,  off-roading, and talking about bitcoin over chipotle. (Tom made it out alive after many close-calls.) They became friends for life.
