Michael & Ellie's Love

Our Story

Photos

Lucy Raaum

Lucy (Ludy) is Ellie's little sister. She is the greatest mom to two little girls (Indy &amp; Elise) and a wonderful partner to her fiance Josh Castaneda.Growing up, Ludy was essentially Ellie's arch nemesis... after an incident with Ellie's minivan and Ludy on the pavement, they decided to reconcile their differences.As co-captains of the Grand Junction High School varsity soccer team and MANY Chick Fil-A bribes provided by Michael, Elsa and Ludy became best friends and Michael, a brother.&nbsp;

Becca Wilkinson

Becca (Bex) is Ellie's best friend. She is a beautiful and talented DIY queen and established plant mom. Her other half, Neil Ryan (Young Neil) mountain bikes year round and graciously allows Ellie to bring chaos into Becca's life when she can.Ellie and Bex met as rivals on the basketball court. They ended up on the same competitive team (Liberty) in 2010 coached by Bex's dad, Frank. They bonded over the misery that was conditioning and remained best friends, often ditching class on rainy days for coffee and good music.

Annika Raaum

Annika is Ellie's older sister, a badass 911 dispatcher with two g0rls of the fluffy variety, Ruger and Cobray.Annika's love knows no bounds, waking up 2 hours early as a high school senior to drive little freshman Ellie one and a half miles down the hill so she wouldn't have to drag through the snow.Most famously, coining the name "Big Mike" on her very first phone call with him at the Kreys house in 2014.As a side note for the big day... if you have any extra tissues, she's going to need them.

Gracie Raaum

Gracie is the oldest Raaum girl, and undoubtedly the most bold. Growing up with her as a role model has been one of Ellie's biggest blessings. Gracie has never been afraid to fight for what she wants, and stand up for those who cannot do it themselves.One of Gracie's most notable achievements was not saying a single swear word when she snapped her leg in half on the soccer field (Papa Ko's granddaughter for sure). Ellie was there, not a single ****.

Flower Girl

Indy is Michael and Ellie’s niece! She goes by many names, Ellie calls her Soba. She loves Moana, Encanto and will sing along to Frozen. Her favorite food is french fries and is a better dancer than both the bride and groom. We’re looking forward to seeing those signature moves!
