When Laila isn't wearing her Minnie Mouse ears on one of her Disney World trips (her happiest place on Earth), she wears many other hats - highly accomplished attorney, Harvard Law grad, ultra-talented cook, World of Warcraft master and mom to three adorable, awesome boys (Tristan, Dylan and Henry). Nadia's younger sister by two years, she has accomplished so much and is approaching her Maid of Honor role with her usual focus and organizational skills.

Nadia and Anastasiya met through a mutual friend in 2012, when Nadia first moved to Denver, and they hit it off immediately. Ana is a proud Ukrainian immigrant who lived overseas in Spain and England for many years before returning back to Denver, much to Nadia and Colin's benefit, as she's part of our "found family" here. She loves Crossfit, a good wine, travel, fashion and her beloved fur baby, Nala.

Nadia and Marie met in Denver through a mutual friend (Adrianne, it so happens!) They grew close over the years in Colorado, going on camping trips, hikes through Aspen trails, and vacationing together in Italy. When Nadia tore her ACL while skiing, Marie saved the day by taking her to the ER and bringing her care packages. Marie is the owner of Charcuter-marie, a catering service with delicious, gluten-free charcuterie options.

Adrianne and Nadia met at an Oktoberfest in Denver, about a year after Nadia moved there. They stayed close, even after Adrianne moved to Detroit, Michigan, where she resides in a beautiful Victorian house with a crazy-smart, cool husband, Nat, and a small army of adorable Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. Adrianne is the epitome of style and good taste, so Nadia is grateful to lean on her as she plans the wedding details.

Will and Colin met during their freshman year of college at UNC in Greeley, CO. Neither one knew it at the time, but they would become best friends, roommates, bandmates, and eventually business partners. Will is an amazing dad to Olin, a skilled cook and host of legendary Halloween parties. In addition to the small real estate company that he and Colin run, Will's "day job" is managing an auto shop in Longmont, CO.

Beatboxing. Bad movies. Boy humor. Michael and Colin quickly bonded as roommates in 2009 and they haven't looked back since. Michael owns a video production agency (Colin may be featured in some projects) and lives with his girlfriend and Frenchie in the Denver area.

Trish is Colin's cousin from California; while they saw each other from time to time growing up, they grew closest in 2018 when she moved out to Colorado for a couple of years and they bonded over good music, good beer, mutual love of dogs, and laughing about the same stupid things. She currently works as an event planner and is also studying real estate.

Justin and Colin met on the first day of fifth grade in Colorado Springs and they've remained close for the decades since, through going to different schools and living in different cities and states. Colin has probably been to more metal shows with Justin than any other shows with everyone else combined. Justin and his wife Steph live in Colorado Springs with their two girls, Meeka and Weslyn.

Lilly is the rarest of kids... one who actually likes broccoli! She's also a fan of a good book, riding her bike, and dinosaurs... but don't ask her about mashed potatoes. The daughter of Nadia's cousin David (one of the earliest readers of her first novel) and Sally, she's coming all the way from St. Louis, MO to be an adorable Flower Girl.

Olin has all the necessary skills to be a ringbearer... as an accomplished ninja and soccer player, he's well equipped to dodge any obstacles that come up while walking down the aisle, and his powerful levels of cuteness are guaranteed to make him a breakout star of the ceremony. Olin's the son of Best Man Will and adopted nephew to Colin and Nadia, who are honored to have him in this pivotal role.

Brian and Nadia met through work at the VA, where Brian solved complex business problems through his programming abilities and Nadia threatened him with documenting his work. They quickly bonded through a mutual love of dog memes and sneaking puns into emails. Brian hails from the upper Midwest. In addition to being a talented programmer, Brian fixes old radios, cooks a mean curry and does home projects. He lives in Denver with his wife, Anne, his adorable daughter, Katie, and his "dog-ter", Lola, who he and Anne rescued during the pandemic,

Colin rescued Dunkin in South Carolina eight years ago, when he was days away from being euthanized due to an overcrowded shelter. Now, Dunkin is a sweet, gentle couch potato, loved by everyone who meets him. His favorite things are neck scritches, long walks and pizza crust. He is honored to be a part of the wedding and as a fashion-conscious dog, hoping his humans pick out a flattering tux for him.

Petunia started her life as a stray in San Antonio, rescued when she came to a stranger's doorstep, pregnant and scared. After having her litter of puppies in the shelter, her babies all found homes, but she waited nine months in boarding before Nadia met her and knew they were meant to be a family. As sweet as she is stinky, Petunia can't wait for her wedding duties.
