Wedding Party
Alli
Maid of Honor
Alli, otherwise known as "Mo" is Ashley’s sister and friend to all! Alli and Ashley have always been close. It started with sharing bunk beds and continued throughout college when they graduated from the same university (Go Zags!). They’re always there to support and challenge one another. Ashley feels incredibly lucky to have her as a sister, friend, and dance partner. ....but really, keep an eye out for them on the dance floor. They’ll be tearin’ it up!
Kim
Matron of Honor
Kim is Ashley’s big sister, a history buff, and an amazing Mom to her two daughters, Hallie and Kate. She’s always been a kind, spirited and loving person and Ashley feels so fortunate to have her in her life. Got to throw in a “Go Cougs!" here for Kim and her awesome husband, Dave. Both are Washington State University Alumni and have gladly welcomed Jim into the crimson and grey community as an “Honorary Coug”!
Michelle
Bridesmaid
Michelle and Ashley met their freshman year at Gonzaga University. Early on they bonded over their love of Totino’s and dislike for accounting. But that’s not all, when Michelle found out Ashley was moving to San Francisco (her hometown!) she, and her family, welcomed Ash with open arms! Michelle’s always had a warm personality and instantly made living in a big city feel like a home. Over the years, their friendship has continued to grow, and with that comes a number of stories. If you want to hear a good one, ask her about Ashley’s famous chicken! P.S. We call her Meech—you can too!
Lilly
Bridesmaid
A fellow Pac Northwestern-er, Lilly grew up in Seattle and is a massive Seahawks fan! While Ashley and Lilly first met their Junior year at Gonzaga, their friendship really blossomed when they decided to room together in San Francisco. It was clear early on that Lilly’s an incredibly open, encouraging, and thoughtful friend. They explored all over the city together so if you want to hear of their adventures... ask Lilly about Ashley’s salsa dancing performance at Kells.
Craig
Best Man
Craig is part of the Kisylia clan from Southern California. He met Jim freshman year at Santa Clara University by way of introduction from his wonderful wife, and better half, Bridget Kisylia (O'Hara). Underneath his hard exterior, manpris, and Chuck Taylors lies one of the kindest gentleman you could meet. For a funny story of Craig and Jim, ask Craig about the Halloween Contest they participated in during one of Bridget's college volleyball games. (Hint: Jim won the contest;)
Kyle
Best Man
A Bay Area native, and currently in the 'denial stage' of becoming a Cleveland Cavs fan, Kyle and Jim met at Santa Clara through Kyle's gregarious wife, Morgan (Doherty). As the gang's token engineer, and Rosie the Riveter impersonator, Kyle’s one of those people you always want by your side. Want a funny story of Kyle and Jim? Ask Kyle why he's not allowed to drive the golf cart anymore when they hit the links.
Brandon
Groomsman
One of Jim's oldest friends, Brandon and Jim met at Bellarmine (Go Bells!) their freshman year and eventually both went to Santa Clara together. Of all of Brandon's redeeming qualities the one he needs the most redemption for is being a big Dallas Cowboys fan. Once you get beyond that it's quick to realize that Brandon is one of the best men in Jim's life. When Brandon isn't reveling in Cowboys glory you can find him spending time with his son, William and wonderful wife Celina. Want a funny story with Brandon and Jim? With 15+ years of friendship there are quite a few. I (Jim) personally enjoy the story of our fender bender in college.
Aaron
Groomsman
You always wonder what a new job or city will bring you.... about 5 years ago Jim and Aaron met while working together and became fast friends. Getting to become good friends in the office was one thing, becoming better friends on the golf course was something completely different. Hailing from the Garden State, Aaron currently lives in NYC with his stupendous girlfriend Roopa (a Pittsburg Native and Steelers fan...;). Though Aaron and Jim will contend who holds the upper hand on the course Jim will always maintain that a round with Aaron - even when Jim "allegedly" loses - is something he always looks forward to. A kind soul with a wicked sense of humor any story Aaron shares is bound to be entertaining. (no pressure, Aaron;)
