Laura & Andrew
Wedding Party
Kate Rudolph
Maid of Honor
As Laura's older sister, Kate has been preparing for the Maid of Honor role her entire life. It started when Kate and Laura shared a room for their entire childhood, and continued through their international travels together, love of Ed Sheeran, and commitment to family. Kate is an amazing dog mom to Ranger, the golden retriever, is a superb ukelele player, and an all-around amazing human. Laura couldn't have imagined anyone else to be her maid of honor.
Brandon Sanchez
Best Man
Andrew and Brandon have been friends since the first day of college when the dorm roommate assigning computer algorithm decided they'd be a great fit. Little to their knowledge at the time, the computer nailed it! Late night Spongebob trivia, warm cookie night in the dining hall and discovering rock climbing together laid the groundwork for a life-long friendship. The two have been roommates for over 8 years, a record that Laura is slowly chipping away at.
Katy Blaser
Bridesmaid
Katy and Laura first met in college in Madison, WI when they realized that they were self-made twins - they both were studying accounting, planned to study abroad in Sevilla, and wanted to move to Seattle after graduation. They are now co-workers, neighbors, hiking buddies, and best friends. Katy is a chef extraordinaire & wine enthusiast (check out her winery recommendations in the "Things To Do" tab), and like a true midwesterner, loves to play euchre.
Russ Vick
Groomsman
Russ and Andrew have been friends since middle school when a mutual friend introduced them through the infamous game, World of Warcraft. Unfortunate for their parents, the two would hog the landline phone for hours every week playing games. If only Zoom had been invented 20 years earlier! Fast forward, Russ and Andrew spent the "Covid" year as roommates in Seattle, constantly trying to one up each other, whether it be who can catch the biggest fish, bake the best pie or beat the other in NFL Blitz.
Lucy Mui
Bridesmaid
Laura and Lucy met on the first day of high school in junior year when fate placed them as locker neighbors, and they've been friends ever since. Lucy is Laura's go-to confidant for any problems in life - she's an empathetic listener and always knows what to say to cheer Laura up. Like any true friend, she's also not afraid to dish out some tough love when needed. She has a passion for photography, loves to travel, and has been declared Laura's unofficial personal shopper due to her stellar fashion sense and eye for a steal. Laura will never stop trying to convince Lucy to move out to Seattle, because let's face it, west coast = best coast!
TJ Carver
Groomsman
TJ and Andrew have been friends since kindergarten and needless to say, the two have been through everything together. Learning to read, talking to girls for the first time at recess (yes, it was awkward) and all the drama that comes with four years of high school. TJ is one of the most personable people you'll ever meet. He has a way of relating to you and is always there when you need to talk. Even if it's something as simple as giving tips on how to improve your golf game (seriously, there's a step by step tutorial out there recorded on someone's phone). Also responds to the name, Dalagon.
Jordan Berg
Bridesmaid
Jordan and Laura were roommates in Seattle for three years after college, and what an era it was! Although they didn't know each other well when they moved in, they grew close through the ups and downs of starting their first professional jobs, developing new hobbies, and exploring a new city. Jordan is an amazing dog aunt, sings in a professional choir, and her smile & laugh will brighten any room the minute she walks through the door.
Kevin Hagenlocher
Groomsman
Kevin and Andrew have known each other since the first grade and have been inseparable ever since. If there was a popular trend in the 90's, you better believe these two were on it! Beanie Babies, Pokemon & Yu-Gi-Oh cards, Razor scooters and RC cars. You name it, they did it! Never to be outdone by one another they invented the phrase "Take it to the extreme!". The catch phrase was the fuel that inspired polar plunges, four wheeling adventures and shark fishing together.
