Delaney & Shane
Wedding Party
Ellie McPike
Maid of Honor
Ellie and I have been besties since High school! From making youtube rap videos, making boys wildly uncomfortable with our horrible dad jokes, to point-dancing to MGMT and blinding everyone in our neon colors at music festivals - it's safe to say we'll be BVF's for life.
Ashley Sill
Matron of Honor
Best Friends since first grade! Ash and I did dance, track, and volleyball together and are now both (soon to be) Nurses! You'll catch us on the dance floor cutting the rug pretty much all night long.
Amelia Puhek
Maid of Honor
I know I know, three maids of honor!? But yeah I couldn't just have one! On top of being an amazing sister, Meems is one of my best friends, truly no one makes me feel funnier than her because she laughs hardest at all of my jokes even when I am not trying to be funny!
Kayla Copeland
Bridesmaid
I met Kayla at a Yoga Studio in Santa Cruz (Pleasure Point Yoga) where we both taught. After attending each others class, and going on friend hikes around beautiful Santa Cruz, we gradually developed a wonderful friendship. Years later, Kayla asked Delaney to come to Tulum, Mexico, and help lead a yoga retreat. It went so well, that they decided to create a yoga retreat business together, and have been traveling the world teaching yoga together ever since!

Maggie Lochtenberg
Bridesmaid
Megs is my oldest friend, our mothers were preggo with us in the womb. Born just one week apart, we were natural best friends. Megs has influenced me in so many ways, including art and travel, she is one of my most inspiring friends! Even though we only see each other a few times each year, we always dive right back in to where we left off, as though no time has past.
Sky Smith
Bridesmaid
Another Santa Cruz friend, Sky and I met through mutual friends and instantly hit it off. We bonded over travels to Peru and stories about surfing. She is one of my favorite surf buddies (us gals have to stick together in this mostly-man populated sport!) We'll spend the day either shredding the gnar in the froth or go on hikes and have deep, spiritual conversations.
Caith Wright
Bridesmaid
Caith is Shane's sister! Caith and I have so much in common, including both having our Yoga Teacher Trainings, being obsessed with dogs, and knowing the best ways to annoy Shane. I consider Caith a close friend, and cannot wait for her to be my new sister!
Talia Greenwald
Bridesmaid
I stole Talia as a friend from Shane. She was Shane's friend first, but now we are close and have regular friend chats on the phone. Tal is my number one go to for a great, healthy recipe and a kick-ass workout buddy.
Julia Tagliarini
Bridesmaid
Julia and I met while going to Bauman Nutrition College in Santa Cruz. We instantly hit it off when we realized we both loved balancing healthy eating with the occasional night of pizza, cookies, and beer. It's all about moderation, right? Although Julia now lives in a far away land called Canada, we always pick right up where we left off.
Amanda Heyse
Bridesmaid
Amanda and I met at the Farmers Market in Santa Cruz. She was slaying hot sauce and we became instant friends. Over the years, her and her husband Chase have become one of Shane and I's favorite and most inspiring couples to surround ourselves with. They have a vibrant son, Zo, who we adore as well! Amanda is a chef and makes brilliant organic meals for everyone she loves, she inspires me by bringing all her favorite people together and being the enthusiasm captain of every scenario.
Peter Johnson
Best Man
Peter was my ride or die best bud since meeting in 2nd grade over a heated Pokemon card trade on the bus. We spent our childhood years hunting for critters under logs in the woods and going for glory at the skatepark. Not much has changed. Peter is now is becoming a doctor of critters, getting a PHD in animal genetics at UC Davis, and we still are scraping knees at the skatepark together.
Gared Schneider
Best Man
Gared aka Papa Schneebs was the patriarchal leader of our utopian house of snowboard bums called Hotel de Schneebs back in 2011. Gared and I hucked our carcasses filming snowboard video parts together back in our early 20's, then remained best of friends as he went off to build his floating food truck restaurant empire in Cordelain Idaho with his brother Corey. Nowadays Gared comes to San Diego to surf with me when the waves are firing, and lays down the loving wisdom of his schneebisms every time we chat. G schneebs is simply the best there is.
Nick Hoversten
Best Man
Nick Hoversten AKA the Hoho is my deepest friend. He's been with me through highs and lows, thick and thin. We have traveled, surfed, started businesses together, and seen eachother grow through every chapter of our adult lives. His crusty exterior is paired with a gooey sweet core just like a Hoho. I love him dearly.
Bill Watts
Groomsman
Sir Billiam Watts is a mythical creature that is usually the most interesting person in whatever room he enters. His garb drips with funky freshness, his hair is a long flowing lions mane, and if he is not bromancing deeply with a new friend or infecting everyone with his ridiculous spongebob laugh, he is literally destroying peoples bodys and egos with his black belt in ju jitzu. I met Bill in highschool and we have been bromantic lovers since. Whether its getting wild at burning man or getting deep when going through challenges, Bill is my go to all around badass bromigo.
John Landstrom
Groomsman
John aka JL the mayne is one of my deepest and closest friends. He was with me the night I met Delaney at that mythical Xavier Rudd Concert, and he holds a super special place in both of our hearts. He has the hunger of a ravenous pack of wolves for both continuous self growth and good times. Every time we are together it is an unending stream of inspiration. I can go to JL with anything, highs or lows, and he will ride through it with me with love. Love this guy to the moon. As the
Ben Strause
Groomsman
Ben AKA Jammin was one of my best snowboard buddies and the heart and soul of the Hotel De Schneebs house. Ben's Jedi powers are dancing and singing every 2000's top 40 hit immaculately, making everyone around him cry with laughter, and being one of the most heartfelt friends you can imagine. Ben and I spent years chasing our snowboard dreams together, and that forms a special type of bond. To this day every time we talk on the phone the conversation ends up lasting hours, laughing and going deep. I cherish every moment I get to spend with Jammin.
Jordan Morse
Groomsman
Jordan Morse AKA J Mo is arguably the most badass groomsman on the list. Jmo lives his life with a savage intensity, he is either snowboarding at an insane level, or crushing it as the bossman in his business. I bonded with J Mo filming snowboard videos together in our early 20's. Jmo and I feed off eachothers intensity, and we love to ring every drop of juice out of life together. There is a special sort of love that comes from the shared blood sweat and tears from filming snowboard movies together, Stoked to have you up there with me Jmo!
Corey Schneider
Groomsman
Corey AKA Corndawg was the black sheep of the hotel de schneebs snowboard crew back in the day. You never know what type of loving chaos corndawg will unleash when you get in in a party or on the mountain. Nowadays he has focused his wild energy on building incredible businesses in Idaho, and his passion continues to grow. I can always count on corndawg for a shot of righteous enthusiasm, or some deep philosophical wisdom just at the right moment.
Dayne Vinther
Groomsman
I met Dayne in Elementary school and we have been causing a ruckus together ever since. Dayne is a master in the art of making people pee their pants laughing, and pushing debaucherous good times to their limit. He brings people together wherever he goes. We continue Laughing, LARPing (google it), and stirring up the good type of trouble together to this day. Love this guy.
Nick Olson
Groomsman
Nick is one of my two surrogate little brothers. The Olson family has been a second family to me me since I was young, and I love Nick and Luke like my own brothers. Nick is a human puppy, with a giant heart full of love. His mission in life is to spread as much joy to everyone around him as possible, unless you are on the opposing side as him during one of our LARPs. Beware of his powerful bear hugs if you really want to stay in a bad mood.
Lucas Olson
Groomsman
Luke is the other one of my surrogate Olson family little bros. We have had a secret handshake only we know since he was a tiny little kid, and to this day in San Diego we do it every time we see each other. The Olson love bomb power is strong in this one, stay away if you fear making new friends.
Nick Vaiana
Groomsman
Nicky V is one of my closest friends from highschool. When I think of Nick, the phrase that comes to mind is "Life is way too important to take so seriously." The dude is always smiling, literally always. No matter what happens, he finds a way to make it into a joke or see the brightside. Having Nicky V always makes things better. Love this guy!
Shawn Peterson
Groomsman
Shawn AKA Shawndaddycombs is one of my best friends from my Santa Cruz days. He is the one that brought me to the concert that I met Delaney at, and has been a part of our relationship ever since. He has a massive heart, giving to all his friendships and his community at every opportunity. But watch out if you see him in the water surfing, he is a ruthless surfer that will drop in on you at any opportunity. Ive learned a ton from Shawn about giving and loving, so stoked to have him on the grooms squad.
Colin Liepman
Groomsman
Colin is another guy I've known since I was a wee lad. He is a devilishly charming world traveler that is always down to make wild memories and lift people up around him. Colin will go to the end of the earth for his friends and I would go to the end of the earth for him. If you find yourself at the LARP, beware of Colin's bloodthirsty alter ego, the WAR CHICKEN.
