Amelia & Amanda
Wedding Party
Alexis Haire
Officiant
Alexis A.K.A. Crash is a great friend who has been with us since the start of our relationship. She's been dubbed our "Mom" for Eh Team trips, she's organized, and somehow manages to get all of the details and connections everywhere we travel to. She's involved in so many great efforts and causes and is an amazing human all around. We can't wait to have her marry us on our special day!
Holly Weaver
Amanda's Matron of Honor
Holly and Amanda's friendship goes back to Freshman year of highschool, which is a long time ago! Holly has had a knack from the beginning of pushing past the shy and quietness of Amanda and forcing her to have fun and live. Even after many years of living hundreds of miles away, Amanda can always count on Holly to answer the phone and be a listening ear, a voice of reason or advice, or to get out of the house and have some fun. The wedding would not be complete without Amanda's "Original Partner in Crime" as she refers to Holly, and we're so excited to have Holly and her husband Mike here with us to celebrate!
Kadyn Lo
Amanda's Bridesman
Kadyn is Amanda’s first born and her “mini me.” He’s got a great sense of humor and brings so much life to the house when he is home visiting from college. We can’t wait to have him with us on our special day! One of our best memories together with Kadyn, is getting to play in an adult hockey tournament together!
Olivia Lo
Amanda's Bridesmaid
Olivia (Liv) is Amanda’s youngest child. She fills our house full of sweetness, hugs, laughter, and lots of teen girl sass. 😘 We can’t wait for her to be a part of our big day! One of Amanda’s favorite things about the relationship between Amelia and Liv are their giggle sessions and T-Swift car concerts.
Alana Crollard
Amanda's Bridesmaid
Alana is Amanda's eldest sister and lives with her family in Omaha, NE. Despite the distance over the many years growing up, they have found a way to support each other from afar. Having busy adult lives with work, kids sports, etc makes it hard for them to see each other in person often but it means a great deal to have Alana and family present on our special day!
Faith Burlingame
Amanda's Bridesmaid
Faith is Amanda's older half sister who she did not have the chance to get to know until early adulthood. Over the past several years, Amanda has really enjoyed having her in her life and they have bonded over birth family traumas, kids with similar personalities, and overall life views. Faith has been incredibly supportive of Amelia and Amanda and they can't wait to share their day with her!
Aaron Klaus
Amanda's Bridesman
Aaron is Amanda's younger, taller brother. They grew up together basically as only siblings as they are only 17 months apart and their other siblings were older and off to adulthood when they were young. Being so close in age, they have often times been mistaken as twins and enjoy seeing people's reactions to their similar appearances and mannerisms. Aaron is everything Amanda would want in a brother and role model for her son. He's incredibly loving, loyal, and so sweet with the women in his life. He and Amanda both share a love of cooking and are often times comparing recipes and ideas of such. We can't wait to have Aaron and his partner Janet involved in our special day!
Celia Welch
Amelia's Maid of Honor
Amelia has always been so close to Celia and her family that even today, she could walk right through the front door without knocking and be welcomed. Celia and Amelia have always been joined at the hip and have a sense of humor that is sometimes like its own language. From making fake YouTube videos on a camcorder, jumping around on moon boots, laughing at Seventeen magazine's embarrassing moments, and Facetiming on Celia's first night away at college, they've been through most of their lives together. This wedding day will be no exception, and Celia can finally live out her Folklore era in the beautiful woods of the Pacific Northwest.
Maddie Morrissette
Amelia's Bridesmaid
Maddie (aka Dr. Morrissette) married her perfect match Matthew (Mr. Morrissette) in February 2023 and Amanda and Amelia were so grateful to be a part of their special day. Maddie has been like a sister to Amelia for 21 years. She's an amazing support to her friends and didn't leave Amelia's side during a half marathon she reeallly didn't want to finish. We got through those last 0.2 miles together so taking another walk down the aisle should be a breeze!
Claire Doyle
Amelia's Bridesmaid
Although Claire is always on the move doing amazing things in different states and countries, she always makes time for her friends when she is in town. Some of Amelia's best memories happened at Claire's dining room table eating goldfish and Trader Joes 1lb chocolate bars with all her friends. Claire is compassionate, fun-spirited, and is one of the best listeners you will ever meet. Amelia is excited for Claire to jet-set to Washington and stand by her side on her special day.
Virginia White
Amelia's Bridesmaid
Although their friendship may look different going from living one block away to 3,000 miles away from each other, Virginia will always be one of Amelia's closest friends. She has an eye for beauty in all places and was even patient enough to do Amelia's hair for senior prom. Amelia can't picture walking down the aisle without her after years of memories from walking to and from school together and knows who she can count on to fix her hair when she needs it and highlight the beautiful parts of a wedding day.
Samantha Day
Amelia's Bridesmaid
Ever since the day in seventh grade when Amelia hobbled up to Sami on crutches to ask for help and she was too sweet to say no (even though she was late for class), they have been friends. Sam is kind, understanding, and the type of friend that you can spend time together without skipping a beat, no matter how long it's been. Amelia will try her best not to be on crutches again for the wedding, but if she was, she know who she can count on to help.
