Wedding Party

Jason Luce

Groomsman

I want to thank James for introducing this guy to me. Hes about the funniest guy have ever met. No one makes me laugh more than this guy, and he is about one of the best friends a guy could have. He answers damn near any proposition to do something that seems like a good idea with "Oh Sure." Want to go to Canada? "Oh Sure!" Want to come to a bbq? "Oh Sure!" Want to float a river for 6 hours because we are idiots and turn your body into a human cherry dipped cone? "Oh Sure!?" He's always a great addition to anything and hes one of the most genuine people I have ever known.


Elias Chimuku

Groomsman

Like Matt, Elias was one of my first close friends when I moved to Portland. We met during our time working for Adidas, and we both survived retail hell. He is a loyal friend who has always been there for me, and he knows that I would always be there for him.

Matt Scott

Groomsman

Matt, like Elias, I had the great pleasure of meeting through our time at Adidas. Matt is too dang smart for his own good, and I love every second of his witty banter and wise cracking comments. Hes a great guy to go on an adventure with, even if the innkeeper thinks Putin's got it right. I am thankful to have him as a friend, and look forward to him being in our lives for many more years.


James Upward

Groomsman

I first met James before I had even thought of moving to Portland. I was introduced to him when my sister and her roommate took me around to show me the night life of downtown while I was up from Sacramento to visit. He looked so much different back then with his clean shaven face and his neatly styled hair. I wasn't sure if I'd ever meet him again after that night. It just seemed like our paths would keep crossing. Now we have been coworkers, roommates, friends, and on the day of my wedding I will be lucky and proud to call him a brother.

Langdon Evans

Best Man

I couldn't be happier to have this guy as the best man in my wedding. I can still remember the first day I met Langdon Evans. We were sitting in his parents living room and his mom was holding a newborn baby boy. She placed him in my arms and I had the pleasure to meet my new baby cousin, and the only other boy in the Simons Six. We grew up seeing each other mostly in the summers at Laird Norton meetings or at our grandparents cabin in Sequim. We got really close when my mom moved us across the state to Seattle. We were there for each other when we needed it most, and I am thankful that he was such a good friend to me during that time. I am proud of the man he has become, and love the family he has created with his wonderful wife Hannah.


Chloe Thornes

Maid of Honor

My best friend and keeper of some of my best memories over the past 18 years. We met in second grade at our local elementary school where we became desk partners in 4th grade by force. Little did we know in Ms Stro's class, sitting next to each other experiencing what we thought to be torture, would grow and blossom into a blessed life long friendship. We have filled days and nights, spending so many countless moments laughing, talking, adventuring, and all nighter sleep overs stuffing our faces, sharing giant bottles of wine, and contemplating life's big journey. Could not do this crazy life without my Jorge;). We made it, and there is no one else I would want by my side sister.

Caralyn Shoup

Bridesmaid

My gorgeous girlfriend and sister from California. Her heart is so full and she has so much kindness and love to offer her friends and family. I couldn't so this day without her. The miles between us have never mattered and when we are together it's like we never left. I met Cara on college at the University of Redlands, we were made roommates by the grace of Gods perfect timing and have been sole sisters since. No champagne glass left empty or Taylor Swift song un-song with us.


Meghan Wicks

Bridesmaid

My sassy, classy, and beautiful big sister to be. Meghan is very special to me not only because she helped Cutter and I to meet, but also her kindness radiates a long with her genuine demeanor, and she has become one of my closest friends. Where Meghan goes, sunshine and fun are sure to follow. Meg and I love watching our shows, having wine in our sweats, going out for girls night, and enjoying delicious foods together. I could not have asked for a better extension into my family than a rock star sister like Meghan.

Hailly Graham

Bridesmaid

Haills is one of my best friends and we have been so close for many years. We met when we were 14 years old in gym class were we instantly had a connection. We love eating delicious foods, prepared by chef Hailly, sharing stories, drinking wine, and spending time with each others families. I love Hailly and her family dearly and I cant wait for her to be next to me on my big day.


Taylor Carlstrom

Bridesmaid

Tay and I have a very special friendship that I hold close to my heart. We grew up playing soccer together in high school and played club soccer together as well. We would ride together to high school soccer, be workout partners on and off the field and push each other to be our best. We car pulled to soccer practice, school, and would have sleepovers multiple times a week during school since we would get up and workout together at 5am strong man. Although our knees aren't as good as they once were I cant wait to play soccer with her again as an adult and have her stand by my side on my big day. Taylor is one of my best friends who I cherish and she always will be.
