Michelle is Amanda's sister and Maid of Honor.  She has always been there for Amanda when she really needed her.  Amanda could not ask for a better sister and friend to stand by her during this special day!  Michelle lives in Anaconda in the house she recently purchased and is working hard to remodel.  She lives with her boyfriend Steven and their black lab, Charley, and works as a dental hygienist at the office of Dr. Amy Lowe.  With her living so close, Amanda and Kyle get to see her a lot (and Spike and Hula get to play with their cousin Charley)!

Andi is Kyle's sister but also is one of Amanda's best friends.  Andi and Amanda went to physical therapy school together and became close friends pretty fast (having to hang out from 8am til midnight every day will do that)!  She is the person who introduced Amanda to Kyle and has been such an awesome support person for both of them over the years.  We are so lucky to have her in our wedding - Amanda feels so lucky to get to have her as a sister-in-law as well!  Andi lives in Helena with her husband Thad and daughters Bryar and McKenna (2 of the flower girls!) where she works as a physical therapist at Heiuser Physical Therapy.  They have a chocolate lab named Blue.

Sloane has been one of Amanda's friends for the longest amount of time.  She and Amanda took swimming lessons together when they were really young, played basketball, volleyball and softball together growing up, and went to the University of Montana together as well.  She has been an awesome friend to both Amanda and Kyle and they are very excited to have her here for the wedding.  She married her husband, Ryan, last May in Orange County, CA where Amanda got to be her Maid of Honor!  They live with their dog, Baskin, in Aliso Viejo, CA.  She works for a community college district in Orange County as an accountant.  We keep hoping that she will move back to Montana one day!

Mindy and Amanda have been friends since Mindy moved to Anaconda in 8th grade.  They stayed friends through high school where Amanda was in sports and Mindy was a cheerleader (Go Copperheads!), through college where Amanda went to U of M and Mindy went to MSU (Go Griz!) and through beginning their careers and living in different towns.  Mindy will be getting married on August 6, 2011 to Andrew Schubert - Amanda will be one of the Maids of Honor (along with Sloane Smith).  Amanda and Kyle consider Mindy one of their best friends and can't wait to share our day and hers!  Mindy is a dental hygienist and lives in the home her and Andrew recently had built in Helena, MT with their little man Jeryk, bulldog Hercules, and cat Moco.

Emilie is one of Amanda's best friends - she attended Eastern Washington University with Amanda from '99-'01 and has remained friends with Amanda over the years.  They had many great times in the dorms in college, in Wenatchee when Amanda went to the Apple Blossom festival, during many visits to Spokane, and even some crazy adventures when Emilie and her sister Mikayla ventured to Montana for a visit.  Emilie lives with her man Jason in Spokane, WA in the house she recently purchased with their little girl Aleena.  She is working toward her MBA and works at Eastern Washington University in the Dental Hygiene department.  Amanda is so excited that she will be able to be in Bozeman for the wedding!

Jenn is one of Amanda's friends that she has known for the longest time - they went to preschool together, played sports against each other in grade school and junior high before becoming teammates in high school.  They played basketball and volleyball together for the Anaconda Copperheads and had a lot of fun outside of sports too!  Jenn went out of state for college but they remained friends and eventually both became physical therapists!  Jenn recently moved to Deer Lodge, MT with her husband, Paul, and golden retriever, Rufus.  She is the physical therapy director for Powell County Physical Therapy.  Amanda was a bridesmaid in Jenn's wedding in 2004 and is so happy to have Jenn as a bridesmaid in her wedding in September!

Bryar and McKenna are Kyle's nieces and daughters of bridesmaid Andi Michalson.  They will definitely be the cutest flower girls on the planet!  They will both be in charge of escorting their fellow flower girl, Hula, down the aisle.  Bryar and McKenna live in Helena, MT with their mom, dad, and dog, Blue.  They enjoy playing outside, blowing bubbles, helping in the garden, hanging out with all of their friends, and getting to see Uncle Kyle and Manda!

We couldn't leave our "kids" out of our bridal party so Spike and Hula will be serving as an additional ring bearer and flower girl, respectively.  Can't wait to see them all dressed up!   Spike and Hula live with their parents, Amanda and Kyle in Belgrade, MT and enjoy playing tug of war for 20 minutes then sleeping for 3 hours =)

Michael is Amanda's cousin.  He is quite the character and both Kyle and Amanda have got to spend time with him on their numerous trips to Las Vegas.  Michael is excited to be the ring bearer in the wedding but "does not want to wear a tie".  =)  He likes to play golf, t-ball, soccer, and participates in taekwondo.  Michael lives in Las Vegas with his mom, Mary and dad, John. 

Kyle and Josh have been friends since their freshman year in high school.  They played football and did track together - and when they weren't doing sports, they were mudbogging in Josh's truck or just hanging out.  Josh is one of Kyle's best friends and his 21st birthday is where Kyle and Amanda met (not that Josh remembers).  He has also become great friends with Amanda and her bridesmaids as well over the years - even letting Amanda crash at his house in Hawaii during her last internship for physical therapy.  Josh works for Keiwitt as a civil engineer in Vancouver, British Columbia but has recently applied to the Peace Corps.  Amanda and Kyle are very excited to be able to have him be a part of their day before he may have to move across the world.

Mason has been Kyle's friend since their freshman year in high school.  They've remained friends after high school and can pretty much find any excuse to go wakeboarding or snowmobiling together.  Living near each other in Belgrade (and having significant others who like each other!) makes it easier for them to get together for dinner or board games quite a bit.  Kyle and Amanda are very excited to have Mason as a part of their wedding day!  Mason lives in Belgrade with his wife Anna and their two girls Arleigh and Mayzie.

Scott and Kyle have been friends since kindergarten.  They grew up playing multiple sports together and have stayed up many nights playing many video games!  Even through getting real jobs and buying houses, they have stayed friends and can have a good time on any given night.  Scott lives near Four Corners in Bozeman in the house he recently purchased and works as an IT guy in the Belgrade School district.

Rich and Kyle have been friends since grade school.  They grew up playing basketball, football, and baseball together.  Rich attended the University of Montana after high school but Kyle would visit him every once in awhile after returning to Montana after college in Wyoming.  After graduating, Rich eventually moved to Lewistown, MT where he works for the Bureau of Land Management.  Rich makes frequent trips back to Belgrade to see family so Kyle and Amanda get to see him often.  Rich is a good friend and is down to get into any trouble either one of them can come up with. =)

Kyle and Cory have been friends since before kindergarten when they hung out together, along with Jesse Stovall.  They played all sports together growing up and remained close even after graduating high school and going to college in different states.  Cory's parents, Bob and Pauline, introduce Kyle as their "other son".  Kyle was in Cory's wedding in September of 2009 in Butte America.  Cory and his wife, Lindsey, live in McMinnville, Oregon with their yellow lab Kirby.

Jesse has been Kyle's friend for the longest time - they were neighbors since they were both young and have stayed friends ever since.  He's always up for going to shoot gophers, playing video games, or just hanging out.  Jesse always surprises Kyle and Amanda at their door when he stops by just to say hi and see what's going on -  it's nice to have him so close as he lives in Belgrade with his wife Tricia and their three little girls Sophie, Shelby, and Paige.
