Collin & Larissa
Wedding Party
Rochelle McArdle
Matron of Honor
Rochelle is Larissa's older sister. Larissa met Rochelle at birth and has stuck around ever since. Rochelle has the two cutest babies on Earth (just an unbiased opinion here) Olivia and Joseph - lovingly known as Livy and Joey. Rochelle likes to claim Livy is a mini Larissa - here's hoping! Rochelle joins us in Sedona with her husband Luke, who has may or may not be wearing a matching dress to Livy for her grand Flower Girl entrance.
Michael Saltis
Best Man
Michael and Collin bonded over Dragon Ball Z and Predator quotes, only after Collin spilled an entire beer on Michael after talking with his hands emphatically. All of this happened while they learned to teach English to Czech people from Forest Whitaker. They then lived together in Prague before Michael betrayed Collin and left after only a year to be with his family or whatever. But luckily Collin decided not to hold this against him whatsoever, and allows Michael to remain his best friend.
Betsy Hegge
Bridesmaid
Betsy is Larissa's best friend - by force. They met in Prague while getting their ESL certifications, and shortly thereafter Betsy told Larissa that they would be best friends, and that she had no choice in the matter. Luckily, if she HAD had a choice, she wouldn't have chosen any other way. BSL Forever!
Jake Lucchese
Groomsman
Jake and Collin met in sixth grade when they played Little League baseball together. Jake was pretty good - Collin was not. They bonded over Halo deathmatches and neighborhood adventures. He's one of Collin's oldest and closest friends, and a man of faith, dignity, and aggressive happiness. His only flaw is his propensity for bloody noses - just ask his wife Kylee.
Shelby Parish
Bridesmaid
Shelby and Larissa are also best friends who met in Prague. It's like the holy trinity - how can one person have two best friends? It's a mystery to be contemplated for generations but undoubtedly true. Legends tell of one named Shartsby Parvogge - the Three who are One - but that's just a myth.
