Katherine & Aidan
Wedding Party
Mckenna Smith
Maid of Honor
Katherine and Mckenna sat next to each other in kindergarten...and have been best friends ever since. Every single report card said we talked too much but it lead to 20+ years of friendship full of laughing till you cry, daily FaceTime's, and making the most random food from anything we can find in the kitchen. I could go on and on about the crazy stories we have and embracing moments I'm sure our families will share.
Liam Carrigan
Best Man
Liam is Aidan's brother, hence the name. While they may be very different people, Liam has always been very supportive and the two have certainly gotten up to their fair share of mischief. Whether it's running away from home at 5 years old and getting brought home by the cops, or dressing up as cops on the UCLA campus 15 years later, the Carrigan brothers are always up for an adventure. As the best man, Liam will be responsible for making sure Aidan can hold it together on the big day, just like he always has.
Brenna Pratt
Bridesmaid
Brenna aka "Bean" is Katherine's cousin but definitely more like a sister. They spent summers together on Catalina where they ate weird food, got covered in shaving cream, and stayed up way too late eating candy and talking.
Ryan Foulke
Groomsman
Ryan and Aidan grew up together in mammoth in a friendship that started with a game of bloody knuckles in the Mammoth Mountain Main Lodge. Since then, they have been on various adventures including a trip to the Grand Canyon when they were 16, in which they survived 2 nights on a 20 mile hike on just bread and peanut butter. Since, they have embarked on various journeys of self-discovery, spirituality, and fun and always look forward to the chance for the next late night convo.
Chelsea Torres
Bridesmaid
Chelsea and KB have grown up together traveling on race team with a bunch of boys. We bonded quickly after high school and have only grown closer since. Fun fact- at Chelsea's graduation KB cut Chelsea's hair at a Taco Bell Cantina with the promise of returning the favor at KBs graduation. KB surprised Chels at her wedding with a pair of scissors holding up her end of the promise... and now we have two traveling hair ponytails (watch out).
Jimmy Wehsner
Groomsman
Jimmy and Aidan grew up on the ski team together and, the couple of weirdos that they are, have always shared in the ability to laugh at the absurd, the goofy, and the truly random. Jimmy and Aidan have been through many the ups and downs of growing up together, and have always helped each other make the most of every situation. Jimmy is always down for a good time and will never back down from a challenge, which always makes for good hangin.
Elena Saavedra
Bridesmaid
Chelsea introduced Elena to us in college and she was immediately adopted into the friend group. If you ever need the most honest opinion about your outfit, whether you are being crazy, or the latest BRAVO tv drama- Elena is your gal. Get ready to see some... unexpected dance moves.
Logan Deangelis
Groomsman
Logan and Aidan are another pair of buddies from the ski team, but their friendship has blossomed in the years following. Logan is a paradoxical source of reason and unreasonable. He has always provided advice and guidance on life's most important issues, and at the same time reserves the right to cow tip Aidan at any time. This guy never shies away from an adventure in the mountains and always helps remind Aidan and KB who they are and where they came from. Keep an eye out for the trademarked "Logan Dance" on the dance floor.
Laurel Hinshelwood
Bridesmaid
We met Laurel through Logan when they started dating, now married, and she was immediately a part of our group. Laurel is one of the most supportive people and always ready for a facetime catchup, wedding planning silently on the phone, and enjoying the outdoors.
Evan Ishida
Groomsman
Evan is Aidan's college friend, roommate, teammate, and fellow instigator. The two have always fed off of each other's energy in pursuit of a good time. If you're looking to get into some mischief and/or shenanigans, this is your guy. He has been called the loudest guy in the room in more than one room, but can also take on the form of a peaceful forest dweller who loves his plants and appreciates the little gifts that nature provides.
Katie Raya
Bridesmaid
KB and Aidan met Katie through Chelsea during college. She is always the life of the party and ready for a game...where she will knock you down and win. She is the go to hype women and she will definitely be the first one on the dance floor.
Dominic Kemp
Groomsman
Dom is Aidan's friend from college. They met at the freshman orientation, where they bonded over the idea that there were much better ways to be spending their time. Since then, they have always been able to count on each other to ditch the boring and find ways to have fun, whether its spontaneous camping trips, inventing new versions of tennis, or even walking the length of every parking structure on the UCI campus with a frisbee, just because.
Tara Mcdonald
Bridesmaid
Tara is KB's soon to be sister in law. They have grown so much closer over the last few family trips and holidays playing games way too late. Tara is one of the kindest people you'll meet and so unapologetically herself, she inspires us every day.
Elliott Allison
Groomsman
Elliot and Aidan met on the ultimate frisbee team in college, where they were first acquainted with some friendly competition, but once Aidan learned he would never win, their relationship grew into something that could be fun for both of them. They have since confided in each other often, whether it's for a guaranteed laugh, a spark of positivity, or a shoulder to lean on. Elliot is best embodied by the illustrious Honda Fit: reliable, quick, and a bit heavier in the back.
Perry Moyer
Officiant
Perry aka "Terry" aka "Pear Bear", is a childhood friend growing up 5 houses down from KB in the house Aidan had his first sleepover in. We all grew up on ski team together and bonded over the many looonngggg travel team trips. Perry is always ready to have a good time-whether its summertime trips to Catalina, partying in Tahoe, or walking home in a snow storm in the middle of the night just chatting. We can't think of a better person to marry us!!
