Maid of Honor
Katelyn has been my best friend for 12 years. I can't imagine my life without her. She is truly a soul mate, my ride or die, and the sweetest most loyal person I know. She's been there for every milestone, good and bad, and when she met Dan she knew right away that he was my other person. I'm honored that she will be at my side on our special day. Love you my goo! -Rachel Katelyn has become such an integral part of our family, that I could not imagine our day-to-day life without her. Building a friendship with her has been a rich experience, and I wouldn't have had it any other way. We have many years of growing up to do, and I expect that she'll be there at every significant moment. Love you! -Daniel
Best Man
Beau has been the bane of our existence for around 4 years now. Please someone take this man away! JOKING! Beau, too, has become a critical part of our tiny family. Beau is a downright good man, who is always there for you, whether you like it or not. We really couldn't imagine our Portland experience, or daily life, without him. You mean the world to us, Beau, and we could not have asked for a better best man for our wedding. Love you til death, buddy. -Daniel Beau Alfonso Krebsbach, man, my first impressions were iffy with this one. JOKING! Beau is loyal, fun, silly, and just a damn good friend. He is always there when you need him and constantly puts others before himself. He's just a really good man and I am so happy he is our BEST man. Love ya, Shmabeau! -Rachel
Bridesmaid
Well folks we truly wouldn't be here without this wonderful, beautiful land mermaid! I remember when Kelly dragged me to her new job and she told me she wanted me meet someone...and in walked Dan. The rest is history! But Kelly will forever be one of my very best friends. Truly the most genuine person I have ever known, I admire and aspire to be a shred of the kind of woman she is. I love you, Celery Nelson Kellery Nelson! -Rachel Kelly Nelson! Such a special person. Anyone would be so lucky to have her in their life. Literally changed my life and I couldn't be happier about it. Without our ridiculous times in Santa Cruz, our friendship wouldn't have been strong enough for you to introduce me to my future wife. Thank you for being there. Love you forever Kelly -Daniel
Groomsman
Jeffffffery. Remember when your mother almost killed me for cleaning up her house after that massive rager you threw? I'll never forget it. I love you man. We've been so close for so long, I literally could not imagine my life without you in it. We have ancient memories, infinite laughter, and a tight knit family amongst the two of us. You've been such an incredible friend and I can't wait for you to be with us on our big day Forever yours -Daniel I met Jeff pretty early on in our relationship. I had heard so much about him and knew how much he meant to Dan, and so I was really excited to meet him! It was an immediate friendship. Jeff is very much a kindred spirit an invaluable friend and somebody we consider family. He will be a part of our family forever. Love you -Rachel
Bridesmaid
Chachachambero! This woman truly changed my life. Our friendship was immediate and Los Angeles would not have been the same without her. She is one of the funniest, most intelligent and fiercely loyal friends I have ever had. No matter how far we are when we come back to each other it's like we never were apart. Her energy is contagious and I couldn't be happier that she will be right there with us on our special day. Love you Sacha! -Rachel Miss Sacha Chambers. One of the most amazing people you'll ever have the pleasure to meet. One of the funniest people I have crossed paths with. I absolutely adore you, Sacha. You're truly a special person who deserves the admiration of the masses and I cannot wait to see you at our wedding. It could not be the same without you! -Daniel
Groomsman
Tyson, my man. I love you so much. You've been so important to me over the years. I am so happy that we get to be close to you up here in the PNW. We always know how to have the best (and worst) times together. I couldn't fathom having to tell all the stories that we've built as a pair. I couldn't be happier to have you as a groomsman and I'm sure that this will be a party of a lifetime. God help us -Daniel Tyson was the first friend I met of Dan's! I loved him immediately. He's among the warmest, funniest, and smartest people I know. He has always been so supportive of us, and is always the life of a party! I couldn't imagine our lives without him. His loyalty knows no bounds and we are honored to have him in our special day, Love you Tyson! -Rachel
Groomsman
Ride or Die. This guys knows the best and worst of me. And I of him. Dane and I became friends when we were 7(ish) years old. We've seen it all. The depth of our friendship could not be conveyed, and I couldn't be happier that you'll be with Rachel and I on our wedding day. Who'd have thought we'd make it here? I'm glad we did. Love you til death -Daniel I love Dane because he loves Dan! Their friendship is so special and inspiring. It has shaped much of the man Dan is today. Dane is the definition of loyal and he cares so deeply about those he loves. Goofy and witty, I love all the conversations I've had with him. He is an amazing Dad and friend. I can't imagine what our lives would be like without him. We are thankful he is going to be right beside us on our day! Xoxoxo -Rachel
Ring Bear
My life was changed forever when at 3 months old this floppy adorable puppy came bounding up to me and licking my whole face. It's like he knew before I did that he was meant to be with us. It's almost as if he was like "gah what took you guys so long, take me home" Our lives will forever be enriched by loving him, snuggling him, and laughing at him. He is love personified. Luv u, Bubba -Rachel What can I say about this nerd? I never knew a dog could be such an integral part of a family. The goofiest, most loyal, most loving and demanding family member I've ever had. It is going to be such a delight to have him present on our most important day. Bubby, you are my sunshine. I'm gunna kiss you right on the lips. "Wanna treat?" -Daniel
Flower Girl
Caroline is Rachel's niece! She is so excited to be a part of the wedding and has been planning the big day all the way from Virginia. As soon as she was asked she started planning her dress, her basket and how she would walk down the aisle. We know she is going to be the best flower girl and we can't wait to have her be a part of our big day!
