Wedding Party
Jo Mulholland
Maid of Honor
Jo and Anna have been friends since middle school and have walked through an enormous amount of life together in that time. Though they haven't lived near each other since 2010, Jo has showed up over and over again to bring love, fun, and wisdom into Anna's life. She is a blessing to Anna in so many ways, and Anna is so honored (and psyched) to have the gift of Jo as a best friend and maid of honor.
Scott Gordon
Best Man
Erica Utley
Bridesmaid
Erica is the kind of friend that is just easy to be around. After meeting in college, Erica and Anna became close when Anna interned at Mission Church in Ventura in the summer of 2015. Through good and bad relationships, adventurous trips and mundane days, Erica has effortlessly cared for Anna through every season. It's one of those friendships that feels so rare and special.
Joe Vrieling
Groomsman
Rachel McIver
Bridesmaid
Rachel is the kind of friend people would kill to have. She and Anna met in the summer of 2015 and became close when Anna moved to Ventura after college. Rachel and Anna have spent countless hours chatting on the couch at Rachel's house, and when Anna moved to Colorado, it was Rachel's in-person friendship she missed the most. Rachel is beautiful, kind, hilarious, and the kind of hospitable most people could only dream of being.
Stephen McIver
Groomsman
Ashley Mason
Bridesmaid
Anna hit the jackpot when her oldest brother married Ashley. Over the years, Ashley and Anna have gone from sister-in-laws to great friends - fueled by an affinity for reality tv, authentic conversations, and a good laugh. Ashley is also an amazing mom to two of Anna's other favorite people in the world - Parker Joy (4) and Everett James (2). Anna loves making herself at home in their Kansas City home and couldn't imagine a better sister-in-law.

Groomsman
Sarah Vrieling
Bridesmaid
Anna hit it off quick with Alex's youngest sister, Sarah, and they bonded quickly over reality tv (again), a love of the outdoors, and quite a bit more. Over the past three years, Sarah has made an incredible effort to welcome Anna into the family and build a real, lasting friendship. Sarah is kind, whip-smart, and incredibly supportive. Anna's so grateful to have her (and Rachel and Megan) as sister-in-laws.
Gracie Ericson
Bridesmaid
Of all the bridesmaids, Gracie is Anna's most recent friend. Anna and Alex both clicked with Gracie right away - bonding on a long hike near Solvang followed by some great food. Gracie's depth, compassion, and understanding is an enormous gift to both Alex and Anna - making little moments incredibly memorable and helping create calm in the middle of any situation.
Molly
Dog of Honor
Molly is the deeply beloved 8-year old golden best friend of Anna and Alex. They are admittedly quite obsessed with her, and they're not ashamed about it. Molly is a celebrated part of the lives of Alex and Anna, and they're thrilled to have her by their sides for their big day. They've felt like a family of three for a while, but Molly's pretty excited to make it official, and she plans to wear her special wedding collar.
