Wedding Party
Marisa Blanke
Maid of Honor
Part of Julia’s high school best friend crew and known as "the organized one," Marisa has helped to plan everything from girl's trips to Europe with hour by hour itineraries to helping Tim plan and orchestrate the perfect proposal to Julia. She’s a wild card but she’s the absolute best.
Avery Gallagher
Maid of Honor
Avery and Julia have been best friends since the 5th grade. She is known as “the creative one” and always comes prepared with crafts and activities. Fun fact: Avery and Julia once built a raft out of pool floats and noodles and sailed down a river in San Diego with it. Avery will be there for you no matter what and always has a way to make you smile
Angella Alania
Bridesmaid
Angella and Julia met in college during freshman year and quickly became best friends. Together they navigated nursing school, moved to Seattle, experienced their first “adult jobs,” and were roommates for 8 years! Angella was also one of the first friends to meet and approve of Tim. She is spicy (in a good way) and will stand up for her friends no matter what.
Emily Nichols
Bridesmaid
Emily has been one of Julia’s best friends for many years. They met during college and became even closer while living together in Seattle. She and Julia navigated the up’s and down’s of young adulthood together and have stood by each other through it all. She’s one of the most selfless people you’ll ever meet and is always ready for fun.
Karen Altick
Bridesmaid
Karen is one of Julia’s best friends from high school. She is arguably the most responsible of the high school crew and kept Avery, Marisa, and Julia in line when they thought about ditching class. Karen is the reason Julia passed Pre-Calculus (thanks Karen!!) Not only is she responsible, she is also incredibly loyal to her friends and one of the most caring people you’ll meet.
Kaylene Matsuzaki
Bridesmaid
Kaylene and Julia met in college and lived together in the iconic 7 person college girl house named “the Columbus house.” They bonded over their love for chicken nuggets (college budgets am I right?) and became even closer when kaylene moved to Seattle. She’s an old-soul but still knows how to get the party started.
Ally Crowers
Bridesmaid
Ally has been Julia’s “partner in crime” since birth. They are cousins, born just 2 months apart, and though they grew up in different states (and at times different countries,) they always managed to stay close and find new ways to get into trouble together.
Emma Crowers
Bridesmaid
Emma is Julia’s baby cousin and younger sister to Ally. She grew up being tormented by Ally and Julia, but turned into a strong, successful young lady because of it. You’re welcome, Emma!
Lauren Anglin
Bridesmaid
Lauren is Julia’s older cousin and is the good role model of the family bunch. She and Julia have lived in different states for many years but they still stay close no matter the distance. She is very supportive and loving and will always be there for her family.
Emma Draluck
Bridesmaid
Emma is Julia’s new sister-in-law! Both Julia and Emma always wanted a sister growing up (instead they were stuck with brothers…) and now their wish has finally come true! Emma is an easy-going, fun-loving, free spirit who always sees the best in people, which is one of the reasons Julia admires her most!
Paul De Barros
Best Man
I have known Paul so long that he feels like a brother. In our younger years we were so competitive that it would often lead to an argument. The competitiveness has waned, but Paul still approaches life with that same spirit which makes him an amazing friend.
Eric De Barros
Groomsman
Eric is my second brother. I remember half days of school filled with video games, movies, and Chinese food. I don't think he plays video games anymore, but he has become an amazing artist. While I don't see him often it always feels like a family reunion when we (along with Paul) get together.
Tom Moffett
Groomsman
I spent my college years bouncing around parties with Tom. Now Tom spends his adult years moving around the world. From traveling to Peru to visiting him in Dublin and getting lost in Belfast we have had some great times. I can't wait to visit him next in London.
Bryce McDowell
Groomsman
I was the third wheel with Bryce and his wife Ashley (an honorary groomsman) since college. Husky games, bars, you name it. Bryce is such a caring and kind person and I am honored to call him a friend. I've had such great times with him over the years and its been so much fun to watch him start and grow his family.
Clayton Anderson
Groomsman
Clayton has an infectious personality that is just fun to be around. He always knows how to liven up the party and has some of the best dance moves I've seen (just don't ask him to drop it low). Above it all, Clayton is thoughtful person that genuinely cares about his friends. I was honored to be a groomsman at this wedding and Im grateful he is one at mine.
Jeremy McManus
Groomsman
Jeremy is one of the best travel partners I could ask for. I can't recall how many places we have visited together, but I need at least two hands to count. Oktoberfest, Ibiza, the list goes on. He is such a good friend he even went on my birthday ski trips before he knew how to ski.
Chris Kowalski
Groomsman
I can't quite recall when I met Chris, but I do remember him going on the first date with his future wife the day I moved in with him. From living together, to snowboarding in Whistler, to hiking the Cascades I have shared lots of great memories with Chris and I am so happy to call him my friend.
Charles Dunwoody
Groomsman
Since Chaz went to my rival university we often find ourselves in heated debates about who will win this year's annual Apple Cup. But when the cooler heads prevail Chaz is a great loyal friend who is always there when you need him and fun to compete against on the golf course.
Cameron Lusuegro
Groomsman
Its not often you become friends with your girlfriend’s friend’s significant others. But Cam and I quickly became great friends after discovering we had a lot in common. Now I take trips to visit him even without Julia. If we're not around, it probably means we snuck to the golf course.
Andrew Rein
Groomsman
Drew is Julia's younger brother. While I have not known Drew long I have bonded with him over sports and his happy-go-lucky frame of mind. I am so excited to join the family and have a new brother-in-law!
