The Bridal Party: Ushers

Brian is once again honored and privileged to have asked three of his best friends to usher guests to their seats at the wedding.

Ushers:

Brandon Butcher

Brandon and Brian met through Brian's cousin Kyle some ten years ago. They saw each other on and off for several years before living on the same floor at the same dorm Freshman year. Together they helped found Mizzou Men's Soccer Club, although Brandon did 95% of the work. Over the course of four and a half years, they became nothing but the best of friends. They tried to out eat each other at the dorm cafeterias much to the disgust/entertainment of Andy Patton and Sarah Phillips. They played soccer together and demolished the competition. They even enjoyed a cool beverage together now and then. Brandon will also be doing some DJ work at the reception. He will henceforth be known as DJ Butch.

Wes Boyce

Wes and Brian met through club soccer in 8th grade, and when Wes came to Kickapoo in high school the two became very good friends. It all started in Mr. Pittman's history class when Wes and Brian sat in the corner and giggled for the entire class period. They often sang in the halls to terrible pop music and on occasion would blare the Backstreet Boys from Wes's SUV. Brian eventually helped Wes snag his wife Michelle by helping him ask her to a dance, and the four of us went to every dance together from junior year on. Wes and the other usher Michael Hampton are in the picture below.



Michael Hampton

Michael (in the middle of the picture) and Brian met in 4th grade at Wanda Gray elementary. Brian thought Michael was just your typical run-of-the-mill tall, gangly goofball. It turned out he was all that and more! They were good friends all through middle school and in high school became even closer. Their group of friends hung out all the time and the two became very close through trips to Hot Springs Arkansas, poker nights, Bill Helfrecht inside jokes and the occasional fishing trip to Bennett Springs.
