Kenzie & Benjamin
Wedding Party
Francheska Alves
Maid of Honor
Francheska and Kenzie accidentally met their sophomore year of college during a dumb Shakespeare project and they've been inseparable ever since. Kenzie is so thankful she has a best friend that is so organized to help her get through the craziness of wedding planning!
Justin Emerson
Best Man
The Devil2Devil algorithm made Ben and Justin freshman year roommates and the rest was history. They lived together for two years, bonding over NHL '11, country music and baseball. Ben had the honor of being Justin's best man last October and he cannot wait for Justin to return the favor.
Rachael Kengott
Sister of the Bride/Bridesmaid
Growing up, their parents called them salt and pepper because they were exact opposites — but they complimented each other well. Rachael became Kenzie's step-sister in 2005. They say you can't pick your family, but given the choice — the two of them couldn't have picked anyone better to call sister.
Kevin Penfold
Groomsman
Kevin and Ben met through church as kids, but became best friends when Kevin chose to attend Cosumnes Oaks High School. From anchoring Wolfpack TV together to the infamous Ab Lounge extreme commercial, they had plenty of hijinks. Despite being separated by several states, they remain great friends to this day.
Shannon Kelly
Bridesmaid
After a quirky white elephant gift exchange at work, Shannon and Kenzie became friends right off the bat. The two of them have spent the last several years working together and now they have both joined the Nevada Sports Net team together. Who doesn't love women in sports?
Matt Seeman
Groomsman
Matt, Ben and Kenzie can be compared to the Three Musketeers. The three of them met at News 4 years ago, but Matt moved on to bigger and better and landed in the Sin City. Ben and Matt once did a Reno to Las Vegas and back road trip in the matter of about 48 hours. They bonded over various podcasts and Bob Seger's best hits.
Danielle Ulleseit
Bridesmaid
Just two months apart — Danielle and Kenzie have been best friends since birth. The two of them grew up as next door neighbors and haven't left each other's side since. Danielle and Kenzie shared memories like fighting over a PlayStation controller, pushing each other around the neighborhood in a little red wagon and so much more.
Brian Fidelibus
Groomsman
Brian and Ben met on Craigslist and thankfully they're both still alive and well. Brian was Ben's very first roommate when he moved to Reno (don't ask Kenzie about the cleanliness of the house). Ben and Brian spent many nights playing A LOT of Rocket League and watching Warriors games (Don't ask Kenzie about Ben's NBA affiliation either).
Angela Sciarani
Bridesmaid
Angela and Kenzie met freshman year of college, completely on accident as well. The two of them have shared years of memories including a lot of country concerts. Kenzie couldn't imagine going through the last couple of years without Ang.
Jayson Chesler
Groomsman
Ben met Jayson freshman year of college at ASU — but their friendship really took off when they made a class documentary about water usage on Arizona golf courses. Thanks in part to long road trips and Taylor Swift sing-a-longs, their friendship blossomed into what it is today.
Kendall Margiott
Sister of the Groom/Bridesmaid
Kenzie may have found her mister, but how about we add a sister? Kendall is Benjamin's sister and soon-to-be Kenzie's sister-in-law (whoop whoop!)
Bobby Martinez
Ben’s (soon-to-be) brother from another mother
Bobby is Kenzie and Ben’s soon-to-be brother-in-law. Bobby recently got engaged to Kenzie’s sister, Rachael. Ben and Bobby share a lot of common interests like rooting for the Giants and voting for Hillary Clinton.
Isabel & Mia Kengott
Flower Girls
Isabel and Mia are Kenzie's two precious nieces! Both of them completely stole Ben's heart when he met them. Needless to say, he's stoked to welcome two beautiful girls into his family! I mean, who else is going to color in princess coloring books with him?
Cameron Kengott
Ring Bearer
Cameron is Kenzie's perfect little nephew. Cameron is less than one year old, but he is going to do his best to hold onto those rings and welcome the bride down the aisle.
