Stephanie & Stuart
Wedding Party
Oliva Foster
Maid of Honor
Olivia and I met in college where we bonded over the unhinged living experience in the sorority house. Olivia has been my closest friend since college. We endured the harsh Wisconsin winters together and the growing pains of going from college students to real adults. Olivia has had my back standing by me through all my shenanigans; sometimes with much convincing even joining along on crazy adventures. We've shared so much laughter, tears, big and small moments together. I'm so grateful to have such a supportive friend who has been by my side through the REAL ugly and the REAL beautiful moments of life.
Robin Gifford
Bridesmaid
Robin and I met after I moved to Oregon, introduced through a mutual friend we had all worked with. She quickly became a pivotal part of my journey of self‑discovery—a steady, grounding presence during some of the hardest moments of my 30s. She was there from the very beginning of my relationship with Stuart, watching it take shape and grow. More than anything, Robin has taught me how to trust myself and step into my own confidence
Alanna Leijon
Bridesmaid
I am so lucky to have Alanna as a sister-in-law!! We bonded over our love of health and wellness. We love chatting holistic solutions, the good the bad, the insane. Alanna has been a huge support making sure all is good and being a listening ear when it's not. She always provides insightful advice or a laugh. I admire her as a person and mom.
Greg Leijon
Groomsman
Greg and Stuart met shortly after Stuart was born. Coincidentally, Greg's mom and Stuart's mom had recently been hospitalized in the maternity ward, and the two quickly bonded over their shared experience. They have been close ever since and share many of the same hobbies, such as nerd shit and careening helplessly down snow-covered mountains. We can only hope that Greg feels relieved that Stuart is now somebody else's problem.
Christopher Leijon
Groomsman
Chris is connected to the bride and groom through his wife, Alanna, one of Steph's bridesmaids. He is also one of Stuart's two older brothers. (Ten guesses who the other is!) In 1993, Chris was blessed with a second younger brother, and after a period of time we choose not to disclose here, Chris decided to join the Army. But Stuart's wily charm eventually convinced him to move his family back to the PNW.
Thomas Frison
Groomsman
Thomas keeps Stuart around to make himself look taller, for which he needs no real help. Ladies, he is also has high cheekbones and is financially stable and emotionally available. Thomas and Stuart interacted at various social functions (house parties) but really started hanging out after Stuart graduated, and aged up mentally.
Lane Wiltshire
Groomsman
Lane and Stuart met when Lane was the President of an organization of fraternal sophisticates, in which Stuart was initiated. Through the years, they have grown close due to their shared love of I-can't-sit-still-for-too-long, and let's-go-do-something. They also have pretty much the same hair. Everywhere.
Aaron Foster
Officiant
A-Aron! Stephanie met Aaron when he began dating Olivia-we are talking the 2016 circuit. Aaron quickly welcomed me to being his and Olivias third wheel and was always on board with all my crazy antics (much to Olivias displeasure). Aaron and Stuart met a few months after we started dating and hit it off right away. We all got to take a trip to Mexico were Olivia and Aaron helped Stuart propose!
