Matron of Honor
Kaitlyn and Sadie met in sophomore year of high school (history class, to be exact). They then started ballroom dancing together, did college connection, and learned life. Milkshakes and french fries forever. She's the "Sades" to Kaitlyn's "Katwoman."
Best Man
Derek and Jonny met way back in Middle School. Since they lived in a small town, the two grew quite close running around Yreka and Montague. As the two say: A brotha' from anotha' motha.'
Bridesmaid
Rani is newly Kaitlyn's sister-in-law. The family couldn't be more thrilled that Rani is now in the family dealing and handling Scott. We love her!
Groomsman & Officiant
Scott is Kaitlyn's favorite brother. He's always there for his little sister and D—plus, he’s got mad public speaking skills.
Bridesmaid
Chloe and Kaitlyn alter served together in Catholic Church, but didn't know it until they met in high school! Chloe was friends with Sadie and Nique, so our friend group started here. Derek, Kaitlyn and Chloe spent some time together in Europe back in the 2012 trip, drinking mojitos and eating Nutella under the Eiffel Tower.
Groomsman
Andrei and Derek met through Craigslist. Derek was looking for a new roommate, and the interview with Andrei went well! This is how Chloe and Andrei met, so Derek and Kaitlyn are also matchmakers.
Bridesmaid
Nique and Kaitlyn met back in 3rd grade at St. Thomas More Catholic School. The two had many sleepovers and played four square. After some elementary school and junior high apart, the two reconnected in high school. Mutual lovebugs and lotion.
Groomsman
Daniel is the older brother of the groom. He has been there for many firsts in Derek’s life, and has lived up to all the expectations of being a strong role model. Dan has always been a source of advice, good times, and memories for Bug.
Bridesman
Cody and Kaitlyn met in freshman year's French class in high school. The two were placed together as partner pairs. After much conversation (in French and English) the pair quickly became friends. The "Codes" to Kaitlyn's "Kaits."
Groomswoman
Riley and Derek met while in their Liberal Arts classes at Chico State. The two were in most major classes together and the Credential Program together. Those that pass classes together, stay strong friends.
Flower Girl
Chloe and Andrei’s little girl, Elle, is our cute flower girl! This isn’t Elle’s first rodeo when it comes to flower girl duties—she has experience :)
Ring Bearer
Sadie and Wade’s little boy has his first “big boy” job as our adorable ring bearer!
