Dakota & Kendall
Wedding Party
Reagan Denny
Maid of Honor
On a sunny morning in 2002, Reagan and Kendall met on the jungle gym in the kindergarten playground. Who knew a simple “will you be my friend?” would ignite a lifelong friendship? From ballet classes, to horse-girl phases and science experiments in the kitchen, to planning sleepovers and happy hours during breaks from college, they’ve done it all together (cringe-worthy and cute). After almost 20 years, Reagan couldn’t be more grateful to have such a consistently supportive and compassionate BFF.
Jamal Hargrove
Best Man
On a dark summer’s eve in 2015, two separate groups of roommates were wandering around the sprawling SF State campus in search of an opening weekend event. One group contained Jamal, the other Dakota. The two groups crossed paths and realized neither group knew how to get to the event, so they gave up and got lit in Jamal’s dorm instead. Jamal and Dakota have been partners in crime ever since.
Emily Sandel
Bridesmaid
Emily and Kendall first became friends in middle school, but really bonded in high school (through the discovery of One Direction & The 1975 lol). They toured USF together, were roommates in the freshman dorms, and were even in the same sorority! They unfortunately don’t live in the same city anymore, but they’ll always make time to reconnect for fun little weekend trips. After 3rd wheeling with Kendall & Dakota since 2015, Emily could not be happier to be up there with them as they finally tie the knot!
Jaisen Ostrom
Groomsman
Jaisen met the swag master himself, Dakota, in middle school at Renton Christian School. They bonded over the Black Eyed Peas, Skillet, and a whole lot of RCS drama. They even ended up giving nicknames to themselves and other classmates after various pieces of fruit, oddly. Since then, their interests matured to pushing each other further along in business, investing, and relationships. Jaisen is so proud of both Kendall and Dakota in their new adventure with marriage and Jaisen will always be cheering them on!
Katie Ogata
Bridesmaid
Katie and Kendall met when they were just little girls in Sunday school, though middle school is where their friendship truly began to blossom. The two remained inseparable throughout the years keeping in touch and planning frequent meetups when they both eventually moved away from home. From talking about their crushes at sleepovers to literally planning their weddings together, they’ve been through it all!
Joaquin Magpantay
Groomsman
One night in college, Dakota went up to the fourth floor of his dorm to hangout with friends. Across the hall, he sees Joaquin's small shadow in the moonlight. That night they got super lit, and soon they moved into a house with 6 other guys. The rest is history.
Julia Kranzler
Bridesmaid
Julia and Kendall met on the first day of art history class at USF. Julia was a Design major and Kendall a Fine Arts major, so the rest was history. Shortly after, they became sorority sisters, then big and little, and then ROOMMATES! That being said, Dakota hung around the house as well so they all got to know each other real well. ;) Julia can surely consider Kendall to be a lifelong friend and confidant, so she's very excited for the big day! Today, Julia still lives in SF and works in design.
Ryan McCarthy
Groomsman
Ryan is Kendall's (Doll-doll's) brother. Growing up, his favorite memories with Kendall included catching toads in Palm Springs and building forts at the empty lot within their cul-de-sac. He's excited to be gaining a brother-in-law with as much of an adventurous spirit as his.
Stefanie Rodriguez
Bridesmaid
Stefanie met Kendall at a barbecue on their first day at USF. Their friendship was solidified a few weeks later while in search of a midnight snack with Dakota and Emily in tow (R.I.P. Lucky Penny). Since then, there have been many laughs, a few tears, and lots of love! Stefanie is so honored to be a part of Dakota and Kendall’s day, and cannot wait to dance the night away with them!
Jake Giglio
Groomsman
Dakota is Jake's cousin so Jake has been stuck with him since they were little. They have been to places all around the world and done so much together, it’s been such a blast! When he met Kendall it only made their trips and time together more fun! Jake is so happy for Dakota and Kendall, enjoy this next step in the adventure that life tends to be!
Jasmine Giglio
Bridesmaid
Jasmine is Dakota’s favorite older sister! (Only kidding). She's SO happy her little brother is marrying his high school sweetheart Kendall, who she adores so much. Jasmine can’t wait to be a part of their big day!
Cody Giglio
Groomsman
Cody is Dakota’s ("Googs") oldest and coolest sibling. Dakota wasn’t born being as cool as Cody is- he got it from Cody.
Jamie Pingree
Bridesmaid
Jamie would understand if Jasmine was Dakota’s favorite sister- they did grow up together longer. 😜 Jamie was very lucky however to witness Dakota being born (she was 15 at the time). She loved nothing more than being a second mom to him. He was always the highlight of her day and the reason she was excited to come home after school. She would even take him to school sometimes to show everyone how cute he was. They had the best of times together. After just 4 glorious years the time came for her to take flight. She flew the family coop to discover what the world was like on her own. She’ll never forget that special time they had together and whenever she sees him her heart fills with joy, pride and love. It’s totally lit.
Jacob Siegle
Groomsman
Ever since he met Dakota in middle school while living in Washington, he knew Dakota would be a life-long friend. No matter how much time passes or how far these two are from each other, there will always be that bond.
Ryan Van Brummelen
Officiant
From Sunday school buddies to high school friends, Ryan feels like he's known Kendall for ages. Dakota came into the picture a bit later and had to get Ryan's approval to date Kendall, but he quickly obliged ;) These two HS sweethearts were destined to be and Ryan is so happy to call them both his friends.
