Wedding Party
Paige Pieper
Maid of Honor
Paige and I have known each other since the very beginning—literally since birth. She has been by my side through every phase of life, always supporting, encouraging, and loving me along the way. I truly couldn’t imagine this journey without her.
Kayla Walker
Bridesmaid
Kayla is my cousin, and we share a lifetime of family memories together. I had the honor of being part of her wedding, and it means so much to me that she now gets to stand by my side on my special day.
Shelby Allen
Bridesmaid
Shelby, my sister-in-law, quickly became one of my most trusted friends. I’m so grateful she’s part of my family. Working at the same school and teaching the same grade means we get to see each other all the time, which I truly love and wouldn’t have any other way.
Brianna Hoguet
Bridesmaid
Bri and I met while working together at Target, where we instantly clicked as work besties. That friendship quickly grew into something so much more, and now she’s one of my forever best friends.
Hannah Simonds
Bridesmaid
I met Hannah during my college years, and she quickly became one of my closest friends. She is funny, sarcastic, a little unfiltered, and always keeping things real. I know she’s always got my back.
Lexi McKenney
Bridesmaid
Lexi and I met in high school, and our friendship has only grown stronger over the years. She’s been by my side through so many chapters of life, always showing up with love, laughter, and unwavering support. Whether I need someone to talk to or someone to make any moment more fun, she’s always there.
Samantha Askegard
My Something Blue 🩵
Sammy and I have been friends since middle school. She’s my “something blue,” bringing so much joy and laughter wherever she goes. Even though distance has taken us to different states, our friendship has remained just as strong.
Garrett Austin
Best Man
I met Garrett in middle school, where we were smart enough to be in the advanced classes, but immature enough to be the problem students. From him watching me cause absolute chaos in algebra, to now having conversations about God and our future; it's been the greatest pleasure to have a friend who's grown alongside me.
Kaleb Knockle
Groomsman
Kaleb and I have been friends since middleschool, one of those friendships where you've been so close for so long you can't remember life without them. We've, worked together, grew up together, and grown together. Between trauma bonding and navigating life, he's someone I'll always consider my brother.
Matthew Mena
Groomsman
I met Matthew the first year I moved to California; both you could call outcasts in a performing arts school; but once we became friends, we realized everybody else were the outcasts. We bonded over the pride we took in our country, and our desire to serve. Although starting out as troubled delinquents, it's been a joy to see us both mature and fulfill our destiny to serve our country.
Mikey Muhrez
Groomsman
I met Mikey in high-school, where we ended up being partnered in a Vietnam school project. After talking about our mutual fascination in Knives and history, we quickly bonded and realized we were neighbors. He was much more mature than I was, and always had me thinking about more 'adult' things like investing, and running my own business. Although we come from completely different backgrounds, we have bonded as brothers and I know I can count on him.
Nick Verlinden
Groomsman
I met Nick while working at Target shortly after graduating high school. Even though we had different circles at the time, we hit it off immediately because he was always genuine and never afraid to tell it like it is. Nick and I started talking right before I first asked Ashley out, so he’s had a front-row seat to our entire relationship from day one. From stepping up to pick my grandma up from wineries to always checking in on Ashley whenever I’m out of town, Nick has always been the definition of a reliable friend.
Zack Allen
Groomsman
I met Zack early on in my relationship with Ashley. I was initially intimidated by the 'protective older brother' title, but he welcomed me right from the start. We bonded over our shared experiences, from navigating the post-high school years to heading off to bootcamp, and I’ve always looked up to him. I’m incredibly proud to officially call him my brother, and I can't wait to see him become a dad. I look forward to the days when we're raising our families together and watching the next generation grow up close.
Kurt Allen
Officiant
Since family is our foundation, we always knew we wanted a family member to marry us. We are so grateful to Kurt for taking on the role of our officiant and helping us tie the knot. We can't wait to say our 'I dos' with him leading the ceremony.
Cali
Ring Bearer
Meet Cali, our beautiful Golden Retriever Ring Bearer! Cali was originally a dedicated service dog for Jack’s grandpa, and Jack spent countless hours taking her to training and bonding with her over the years. Because family means everything to us, having her carry our rings down the aisle is incredibly meaningful. Keep an eye out for the cutest girl in the wedding party!
