Wedding Party
Stephanie Perrault
Matron of Honor
I couldn't image anyone else standing by my side on my wedding day but my little sister. She has been my built-in cheerleader, my partner in crime, and the one person who always makes me laugh, sometimes at the most inappropriate moments. She may be younger, but her heart, her humor, and her unwavering support make her a maid of honor like no other. I'm so lucky to have her as my sister, and my forever best friend, and I can't wait to have her by my side as I say "I do."
Jarred Fudacz
Best Man
Where do I start with my brother and my best man? He might be 10 years younger than me, but that didn’t stop us from being close as kids. I was the built-in babysitter, while he was my mini partner in crime—playing Mario Party, swimming in the irrigation canals, and doing our best WWF moves in the backyard (back then, I could lift him above my head). As we got older, I drove Jarred to school, though I wasn’t exactly the most punctual student (he still complains about all the tardies he racked up). Jarred is truly the “jack of all trades” and the hardest-working person I know. Whenever I need advice or help, I can always count on him. It might sound cliché, but he really is the best brother anyone could ask for. That’s why, without hesitation, I call him my best man.
Katie Metzger
Bridesmaid
Meet Katie, my college roommate match made in horse-loving heaven! We were paired up freshman year at PLU because we both listed "horses" on our roommate applications, and the rest is history! She's my ultimate travel buddy, always up for an adventure, whether we're exploring new corners of the world or sneaking away for a weekend trip with the dogs. She never fails to make me laugh, and her friendship is one I truly cherish. I'm so blessed to have her by my side on my wedding day.
Tyler Foster
Groomsman
Not only was I lucky enough to have this guy as a classmate from elementary school through high school, but also during our college days at Central Washington University. Tyler and I met all the way back in 1990 on our first day of kindergarten. Throughout the years, we loved listening to late-night paranormal stories on Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell, cruising in my 1986 Buick Century, and playing high school baseball—where he was nicknamed “The Gambler” for his card-playing skills. I also can’t forget the hot tub parties at his parents’ house or Saturday night movies at the Liberty Theater. We still swap old Art Bell clips, along with gardening tips and mushroom hunting photos. I’m grateful for our lifelong friendship and priceless memories, and I’m excited to have him standing with me on the big day.
Brittany Underwood
Bridesmaid
My forever Ciao Baby! We became instant friends during our study abroad trip to Italy junior year of college (her Coach purse may have caught my eye first), and she's been my Ciao Baby ever since. She's the queen of kitchen dance parties, coat fashion shows, and whipping up incredibly healthy dinners with a good glass of wine in hand. She's the kind of friend who will always answer your call and I'm so grateful to have her by my side on my big day.
Greg Fudacz
Groomsman
When I talk about the times with my brother, I’d be remiss not to mention my cousin Greg. He was right there alongside us, spending countless summer days together. Greg and I are a year apart and were always spending the night at each other’s houses. When I think back, I picture us taking our best “Griffey swings” during wiffleball home run derbies in the backyard, watching WWF, and playing video games. As kids, we were always at my grandma’s house—and I’m fairly certain we gave her (along with other family members) a few extra gray hairs. We were constantly getting into some kind of trouble, so much so that the family still talks and laughs about those stories to this day. I was lucky enough to grow up in a family that always felt like home—Greg is living proof. I’m more than thrilled to have this guy standing alongside me on my wedding day.
Alexandria English
Bridesmaid
The Louise to my Thelma! We met freshman year of college in the elevator, instantly bonding over the fact that we each had three giant bags to take home for the weekend, one entirely dedicated to shoes. From that moment, I knew she was my kind of person. As my almost birthday twin, we've been two peas in a pod ever since. She's my Monica friend (the one who can clean and organize anything), keeps me laughing with her sharp sense of humor, and is always the first to volunteer to show up when someone needs help. I'm so lucky to have her by my side when I say "I do."
Nick Cairns
Groomsman
My co-commissioner in our nearly two-decade-long fantasy baseball league. Nick and I first met in 2005 at Central Washington University in a Communications class. From there, we collaborated on our first video projects, worked together on a college comedy show that would be too risky for today’s standards, and even landed our first jobs out of college side by side. Despite Nick being an Astros fan and me a Mariners fan, we bonded over baseball (though he’s always quick to remind me about the time he won a bet that George Springer would hit a leadoff home run against the Mariners—thanks, Nick)! In all seriousness, Nick is the type of guy who will drop anything to lend a hand if you need it. I’m honored to have this guy by my side on the big day.
Spencer Clark
Groomsman
Spencer is Jillian’s brother and one of the most genuinely kind people I know. I first met him on Seafair weekend. I had been on a boat before to watch Seafair, but this day was not my day. I started to feel seasick almost immediately and I battled through it the entire day and was almost in the clear, until I wasn't. Unfortunately, his boat would not accelerate when we were leaving, and we got stuck in an ocean of waves. Let’s just say this day ended with me hanging my head over the side of his boat and a coast guard rescue. Through it all, Spencer stayed calm, kept checking on me, and somehow still made me feel welcomed. Not the introduction I planned, but I can’t imagine a better one. I’m honored to have him as my groomsman and, very soon, my brother-in-law.
