Jake & Brittany

September 27, 2024 • Golden, CO
Kayla Snyder - Maid of Honor
Kayla & Brittany's dads have been married... I mean close friends since before either of them were born; once they were, a close - sisterly bond was formed. From a young age, they would go on family trips to Lake Powell every Summer & spend snow days at each others houses while their dads cleared their driveways with the Jimmy. Nowadays, you can find these two together walking the fields of Pierre, South Dakota with their "old men", hunting crew & a few well earned pheasant feathers poking out of their vests.
Luke Hadsell - Best Man
Both Luke & Jake were born in Minnesota & moved to Colorado at a young age. In fact, there is a good possibility the two of them lived near the same lake in Minnesota before they moved to Colorado. The two became friends during their Kindergarten days in Evergreen, and they continued making memories together throughout school such as Jake being Luke's "Body Guard" on the elementary school playground & "Jakey Pancakey" shooting people with his "syrup gun" in middle school. Luke moved out of state for work post college but the two remain close by playing PC games with "the boys" & making a point of getting together whenever Luke is in town.
Kate Polasek - Bridesmaid
Brittany met Kate when she first started her current doggy daycare job in 2022. Once the banter began, a special friendship was forged. The two started hanging out weekly; introducing each other to their hobbies, bouncing ideas off one another, realizing how much of their fathers daughters they actually are... over all just genuinely enjoying each others company, and the duo became fast best friends. In 2023, Kate adopted the cutest shelter pup named Tippy. Tippy goes everywhere Kate does unless she's at work, then you can find Tippy at Jake & Brittany's hanging out with her four best puppo friends; Scout, Loki, Jarvis & Jaxon. Jake & Brittany have been delightfully declared as Tippy's godparents heaven forbid anything happened to Kate in her ripe young age.
Kent Dutkiewicz - Groomsman
Kent weaseled his way into Jakes adolescent heart during their supple days of Kindergarten in Evergreen. Kent won Jake over with his sense of humor & the two have remained friends since. Kent moved out of state during High School where he met his wife/ high school sweetheart, Lauren. When the two got married, Jake had the honor of being Kent's best man. The two keep their friendship flame lit by playing COD Zombies and making a point to catch up when Kent & Lauren are in town.
Nate Klemetsen - Groomsman
Jake was fortunate enough to meet Nate while working at Baskin Robins in Evergreen during their late High School days. Their comradery continued through working at Anthony's Pizza & Pasta in Evergreen, then later working in construction for Brittany's dad, Heath. Nate has remained a solid friend with his witty sense of humor, helping Brittany roast Jake on several occasions, dog sitting their dogs & just overall being a valuable person to have in your corner. Jake & Nate keep their spark alive by playing COD & "Tarky" with the boys as well as getting together for margaritas & mexican food at Los Dos in Littleton.
Brendan Desotel - Groomsman
Brendan (Bdes/B) & Jake first met while attending high school at Evergreen. The two later became friends while working at Anthony's in Evergreen post graduation. Jake & B have grown closer through out the years over a handful of golf excursions, several parties at B's old place affectionately known as "the boathouse", playing various PC games & many other activities/ outings. B has been a great friend in coaxing Jake out of his comfort zone & being a good gaming buddy.
