Wedding Party
Ben Howard
Best Man
Ben has been my brother my whole life, and even though he loved tormenting as a kid we have always been close. He's one of the most loyal and dedicated people I know. He's a great big brother and it was a no-brainer he would be my best man.
Nicole Hu
Maid of Honor
My younger sister and my best friend! She is always there for me, through thick and thin; a never-ending support. God gave me a sister with the perfect balance of difference and similarity of personality to my own! He knew what type of sister I would need to do life with and I am beyond thankful for you Nicole. Your kindness and your bluntness.
Matt Rowland
Groomsman
Matt has been one of my best friends since we..... well since we were able to remember. We went to our first day of kindergarten together all the way through our last day of high school. I probably spent 90% of the first 25 years of my life with him. He's not only a good guy but a great friend. I know if I ever need advice on what to do I can call him. He's also the best tinker'er I know. If you want to know how something works he'll figure it out. He's legitimately the one guy who doesn't need the directions.
Raechel Ornelas
Bridesmaid
My cousin Raechel! Even though we live far apart we regularly keep in touch, especially thanks to Twitter! I will always remember playing PowerPuff Girls when we were little (Raechel was Buttercup, Nicole was Bubbles and I was Blossom). We also played Zenon, making video-chat screens out of paper - little did we know that would become a reality with FaceTime. Raechel is one of the most dedicated people that I know and I am so happy she can share this special day with us!
Andrew Bell
Groomsman
Andrew has been one of my best friends since I was around twelve or thirteen. He's the one friend who never lets you give up on yourself and will annoy you mercilessly to keep going (I mean that in the best way possible). He introduced me to 311 (my favorite band) and has put me through some of the most awkward moments of my life. Honestly though, he's a better friend then I deserve and boy can that guy cut a rug.
Sabina Valery
Bridesmaid
Sabina and I met at summer camp and I quickly realized that she and I were going to be friends for a long time! We've seen each other through life's ups and downs; from ridiculous teenage crushes, to various travel experiences, to me screaming for help in the shower at camp because there was a roach on my ankle - to now sharing in one of the happiest days of my life! You can always rely on Sabina to be there for you - no matter what! AND she's a killer dancer.
Dan Bell
Groomsman
Dan and I have been best friends since I was around nine? I can't remember when it happened because we all grew up at church together, but I'm pretty sure it was before I was ten. I know anytime Dan's around it's going to be fun whether it was playing video games, going fishing, watching Star Trek TNG (Make it so), playing catch, or getting body slammed on a trampoline which would end up giving me a huge scar on my leg for the rest of my life (He didn't mean to, plus scars are cool so I don't mind). Dan isn't just fun but has a big heart too and just like the rest of the guys I consider him more my brother than a friend.
Ellie Howard
Bridesmaid
My niece Ellie has been asking ever since she was a little kid to be a flower girl in my wedding. She might be a little too old for that now, so being a bridesmaid is the next best thing. She's an awesome young lady and she has a great sense humor (which I'd like to think I had something to do with). It means a lot that Chloe asked her to be a bridesmaid and I'm glad she's going to be there to be a part of it all.
