Wedding Party
Shannon Holmes
Maid of Honor
My lovely sister Shannon! I was just shy of eight years old when Shannon was born. I was so excited to have a baby in the house! Growing up with so many years between us was hard sometimes. Everyone said we'd be friends once we got older. Even though we didn't always get along or have the same interests, it was a privilege to watch her grow up. Now that we're adults, even though she's the younger sister, Shannon is the first person I call when I need straight talk or good advice. Thank you for being such a wonderful sister Shae! I love you!!
Kelli Pence
Maid of Honor
Kelli is Chris's sister. And I'm so excited to finally call her my sister-in-law (not that I don't already.) Kelli and I first met in 2006. She was so shy and quiet, so I took her to a house party and got her very drunk. We ended the night, where else, but at Denny's. Chris ended up having to come get her to bring her home. He was not happy lol. Kelli and I eventually lost touch, communicating here and there on Facebook. Thirteen years later, Kelli decided to do something very sneaky. She took Chris's phone and messaged me though his Facebook. I didn't know until a few months into us dating that Kelli was the real reason Chris and I had rekindled our relationship. So of course, now Kelli is my best friend, and soon to be my new sister! I love you Kelli! Thank you for everything!!
Molly Holmes
Bridesmaid
Molly is my baby sister. She and I are 21 years apart! So we only lived together for a few years. She is the youngest in the family and has definitely kept us all on our toes. I'm sad that we live so far away from each other, but we have so much fun when we get to spend time together. She is quick-witted, smart, and so funny! I love being silly together. Molly came into our family at the perfect time. Our parents really wanted another girl, and along came Molly. She filled a place in our mother's heart especially. I am so proud to have her as my sister! I love you so much Molly!!
Joel Haston
Officiant
Chris and Joel met working together at Google Shopping Express. The bonded over music, video games, and just generally being big ol’ weirdos. Years later they are still close. There is no one else we could think of that we’d want with us on our special day to help us become partners for life.
A.J. Montoya
Best Man
Chris and A.J. met over 10 years ago. They enjoyed the same kind of music and had very similar senses of humor. Chris was sad to see A.J. move to Portland, but when Chris and Megan moved to Portland a few years later, they were so excited to be near A.J. again. He helped them explore their new city. They are so happy to have him stand with the couple on their big day.
Matt Smith
Groomsman
Chris and Matt also met working at Google Shopping Express. They love to play video games and joke around together. The couple are so happy that Matt could make the trip from California to spend this exciting day with them.
