Wedding Party
Shannon Melrose
Maid of Honor
Carrie's younger sister and built-in best friend. Even though they now live in different states, they still visit each other as often as they can. Carrie is grateful to have a sister and MOH like her!
Alex Stuart
Best Man
Grant's older brother and longest friendship. Growing up, Alex was a great role model for Grant whether it was in school or on the football field. Alex has a lifetime of experience putting up with Grant's BS, yet thankfully he still agreed to be the best man!
Nicole Kwan
Bridesmaid
Carrie and Nicole have been friends literally since birth. Their dads met at work and became friends pre-kids, and the rest is history.
Chris Terry
Groomsman
Grant met Chris in high school, competing for participation points in Spanish class. They became even closer friends through college, attending parties and football games. They even shared an apartment during COVID and managed not to kill each other, a true testament of their friendship.
Kaitlynn Wells
Bridesmaid
Kaitlynn and Carrie met in first grade. After Carrie broke her left arm, Kaitlynn helped her with schoolwork since she couldn't write. They've been close friends ever since!
Derek Nimmo
Groomsman
Grant met Derek through a mutual friend and they quickly became friends on their own. Derek is a great guy who tells it like it is, and Grant admires his authenticity and really enjoys the time they spend together.
Alex Accornero
Bridesmaid
Carrie and Alex grew up together, attending the same schools since elementary. They solidified their friendship while spending hours at the pool together every summer, at swim team practice, lifeguarding, and teaching swim lessons together.
Sean Witt
Groomsman
Grant met Sean as a high school freshman playing football together. Grant is grateful for how they have maintained such a great friendship through many big life changes for both of them.
Jaclyn Rice
Bridesmaid
Carrie first met Jaclyn on high school swim team and is thankful for their maintained friendship over a decade later!
Colton Nunley
Groomsman
Grant met Colton soon after he and Carrie moved up to Coeur d’Alene and they quickly became good friends. Colton's laid back attitude and adventurous spirit aligned with Grant's, and the two frequent the golf course during warmer months.
Cari Fredriksz
Bridesmaid
Cari completed the Chapman University Athletic Training program with Carrie and Grant. They used to frequent the Orange Circle, the beach, and each other's houses for study parties (and non-study parties). Now that they all live in North Idaho, Carrie and Cari enjoy continued adventures together.
Alec Fredriksz
Groomsman
Grant met Alec as Cari's "new boyfriend" when they all still lived in Southern California. He was one of Grant's first friends after the move to North Idaho, and Grant even helped plan and photograph his proposal to Cari. Grant is excited to include Alec in his own wedding celebration.
Luke Gutierrez
Officiant
Carrie first met Luke on the Livermore High School swim team when she was a freshman and he was a senior. They've remained close and both lived in Southern California for several years, so Luke met Grant shortly after he and Carrie first started dating. After many Disneyland trips and New Year's Eve celebrations together, Carrie and Grant are so excited to have him officiate their wedding!
