Greg Burns, Nico Brooks, me and Seth Bossung

Emily and I were married on June 21, 2003 up in Tabernash CO. Seth and Greg were my best men and Nico (Emily’s cousin) officiated. We explored seeing if we could make Nico a ship captain but settled on some universal minister certification for the day, I believe.

Seth had said to me years earlier (when we both were working at a Sanborn (summer camp ‘89) where we met) …”Just laugh, no matter what.”, just before he did a skit with another counselor (which was actually super funny). At our wedding, just as I had started my speech, I heard Seth laughing (very loudly and in support) in the crowd - it made me remember what he had said at camp and consequently made me lose my place, which turned out to be momentarily unfortunate and soon after quite funny.

I’m not sure how many times he was in the role of best man at friends’ weddings but I’ll wager to guess it was at least 5 times.

Always sharp, always funny, always encouraging, always thoughtful and always the best. Here is tribute article that helps explain even more the kind of guy he was.
