Wedding Party
Christina/Tina
Maid of Honor
Christina has been with Carolyn since day 1. They started as just sisters and have grown to being best friends; always being there for each other through all of life's ups and downs. You know when Carolyn and Christina are together because their chaos grows exponentially. There is never a shortage of laughter, goofiness, and potentially bad ideas. Typically, when someone meets Christina for the first time, they say it's like meeting a blonde Carolyn. So, if you're ready to party with Carolyn, get ready to party times 10!
Zachsquatch
Best Man
Connor met Zach on a blind flyfishing date set up by a mutual friend in September of 2012. Zach showed up to Connor's dad's house wearing a "where's Waldo" shirt, and had a banana suit in the back of his car, which made it to the river. Connor and Zach would then live together for multiple years, (the first being on Zach's single dorm room floor at CWU) on both sides of Connor's military service, and Zach continues to be Connor's best friend.
Em
Bridesmaid
Carolyn and Emilee met when they were 10 and have been best friends ever since. Although their friendship has been long distance since they were 12, that didn't stop them. Fueled by their love for travel, combined with both their dads being pilots, they have been on some incredible adventures together. Even living across the country, Carolyn knows she can ask Emilee to come over and she'll be on the next flight out. The true essence of "if you go down I'm going down too," they've gone through every awkward stage of life together. So any embarrassing stories from the wedding day, Emilee is sure to be right there next to Carolyn laughing.
Danimal
Groomsman
Dan would meet Connor through Zach, on a weekend in Bellingham while attending a Mandolin Orange concert with a few other buddies. Dan would sleep in his closet that night, and a random weird cowboy would somehow invite himself to Dan's house as well. We don't know his name. Dan and Connor would continue a great friendship through fishing, golf, annual trips to Montana with Zach, and doing motorcycle burnouts in Dan's garage.
Clur
Bridesmaid
The first day Clara and Carolyn walked Michigan campus together, Clara saved Carolyn from running into a tree. From that day forward, Carolyn knew she had to keep her around. They became roommates and quickly the duo turned into Clarol. They would even occasionally get so confused that they would forget their own names (true story). From teammates, to Game Day buddies, to road trip buddies, Clara and Carolyn have done a lot together; so it's only fitting they get to stand by each other's sides on their wedding days 6 months apart.
CaCaDoodle
Groomsman
Connor was there with Carson from the little Caca Doodle's first day on the planet. Connor's only brother, Carson was always bound to be a family favorite. From wrestling, baseball, and football, to later hunting and fishing, Connor was always excited to help, teach, and be by Carson's side. Connor and Carolyn both gave Carson his 21 run experience, in which he was more excited to go bowling than drinking in the casino. Carson will forever and always be Connor's favorite brother...
KDuggs
Bridesmaid
Another Michigan alum, Carolyn knew she would get along with Katie because of her love for travel, her appreciation for St Patrick's Day, and her impeccible mimosa making skills. Not to mention how she can always get a room laughing. During stressful college days of studying, Carolyn could always count of Katie to either lighten the mood or just suffer right there with her. From the two corners of the country, they have been able to stay just as close beyond college life. Katie may not be in charge of music in the morning (still working on getting her into country music), but she will definitely be in charge of making the mimosas.
KJ/Kyle
Groomsman
KJ/Kyle and Connor met on their very first day at Phase 1 of EOD school located at Ft. Lee, VA in August of 2014. This was the day after graduating basic training in South Carolina. Connor was severely unlucky in pulling night time fire guard duty on this first night, and heard music playing from a room down the hallway. This would end up being their first meeting, when Kyle answered the door in his underwear thinking he was in trouble. Connor and Kyle would become best friends during their service, and after successfully graduating EOD school the following year, would both become stationed together in Grafenwoehr, Germany. The reason for the split name, is anything Connor refers to Kyle doing something stupid, he uses the name KJ. Anytime Connor refers to Kyle for something good and/or normal, he uses the name Kyle. Carolyn didn't know his name was Kyle for a few years...
