Tara and Rachel met in 2008 during Roller Derby tryouts in Denver. Tara was wearing some skates that she clearly stole from Skate City, and Rachel was wearing... jeans?!? Not bootcut, but skinny jeans and roller skates. After that day, she new they would become great friends.

Rachel is not only her teammate, she is her adventure buddy. "Wanna go climb a mountain tomorrow? Wanna go raft down some crazy river?" The answer was always yes! They've had so many fun adventures together, and she is happy that Robbie found Rachel–he is one lucky man! 

Tara is honored to be officiating the wedding of two amazing people! Rachel and Robbie, let's get married!!!

Bernadette and Rachel grew up playing field hockey and softball together. Awkward braces, high school shenanigans and many college majors and states travelled later, their bond has been unbreakable. And whenever Rachel comes home, there is aways a chest bump waiting for her. Bernadette couldn't ask for more of an honor than to stand beside her best friend as Rachel marries Robbie.

Helen and Rachel have been soul sistas since 1993. From beach days in Ocean City, MD to forming the cover group “The UnVouges” with their best friend Jordan, Helen continues to love and adore spending quality time with Rachel.

From battling swords to throwing shovels at each others heads, Robbie and Bryan were more brothers than cousins. Being outnumbered by sisters between them, they had to stick together. Growing up 3 doors down (<---horrible band) from each other in Dearborn, MI they did everything together. Now in their adult years, that hasn’t changed. One of their strongest traditions is the Thanksgiving Day Lions game in Detroit, 23 years and counting. 

Robbie and Harwood met in High School frantically trying to complete homework during thier lunch break for a World Culture’s class with Mrs. Kitty Kittiddies. Harwood needed to find someone with the answers, that’s when he spotted Robbie in the Groves library scribbling gibberish into the multi-page packet. Perplexed, he thought, how could he possibly know all of those answers? And how is he writing them down so quickly? Robbie responded with, “Dude she doesn’t even read these, I’m writing Soundgarden lyrics for the answers”. Several 100% correct homework packets later...and the rest is history.

Dan met Robbie met at the Sundown Saloon (1136 Pearl St., Boulder, CO #downerlife like that plug?) when he helped him get a job as a bouncer. They spent countless nights responsibly serving PBR and whiskey to the happiest of patrons. Then they tried to keep those responsible drinkers from getting too rowdy. It was one of the best games to play! Their friendship continued to clone and grow over their endless love for adventure, adrenaline sports and the outdoors.
