Meet our favorite people!

Ethan Payne

Best Man

Ethan and I’s friendship goes all the way back to little league baseball. Our friendship thrives off of our similar interests, but is heightened by the loyalty we have had over the last 20 years. From winning back to back section championships to tinkering on cars for far too many hours, to getting engaged in the same year we have always been on the same page in life. I am extremely grateful for the relationship Ethan and I have and we can't wait to celebrate his and Danielle's love in October 2025.


Sophia Friedrich

Maid of Honor

Sophia hasn't just been a sister to me, she's always been a best friend too. In some of my toughest times, I have called her for advice and she's always there to pick up the pieces and most importantly, make me laugh! She is always going to shoot you straight and I love her for that! She has been by my side through it all and has supported Cole and I every step of the way. I especially love that her and Cole have the same sense of humor and can always share a laugh with (or at) me. We enjoy every second we get to spend with her and are so happy she's back in California for more sleepovers! I'm the luckiest to have her as my sister.

Aj Eigenhuis

Groomsman

Aj and I have always been extremely close. I was always the younger brother that wanted to tag along with him and his friends while he was in high school. From enjoying our talks about trucks for hours on end, to being the fun uncle to his two boys, we always have a good time together. Although our age gap is rather large, we have always managed to have a very close relationship.


Lauren Aja

Maid of Honor

Lauren has been a sister to me since I can remember. From family trips to birthdays to Greek Easter to Tahoe trips to concerts and all the girl time in between, Lauren has been my rock. Lauren was one of the first people in my life to meet Cole and actually took our first picture together at Jason Aldean's bar in Nashville. She has celebrated me and Cole from the very beginning and knew early on that he was the one for me. I feel so blessed to have this lifelong friendship and we cannot wait for our kids to call her auntie Lo!

Josh Eigenhuis

Groomsman

Josh and I grew up with very similar interests in sports. My passion for baseball started while attending his games far before I was of age to participate in organized sports. From late night phone calls ranting about how I did not perform up to my standards in my last game to complaining about how to afford the newest truck I want. Josh has always been there to support me and encourage me to be better.


Madeleine Swalve

Bridesmaid

Madeleine and I met in high school and have been best friends since our volleyball tryouts going into our Freshman year. Madeleine is someone who lights up every room she walks into and she has a constant ray of sunshine in my life. She is the most dependable and loyal friend. She goes through life so gracefully and I look up to her in so many ways. It's so fun going through the same stages in life with your best friend and Cole and I can't wait to celebrate her and Jackson's wedding in October of 2025!

Jacob Friedrich

Groomsman

Jacob welcomed me with open arms from the first day I met him. Although he may have been a bit skeptical on who his little sister brought home from Nashville, there has never been a doubt on whether or not he supports Hannah and I. We have been able to bond over cars and golf quite a bit over the years. I look forward to making many more memories with Jacob and his wife Jenna, especially on the golf course.


Emily Anderson

Bridesmaid

Emily and I met in Nashville at the end of nursing school and it was literally love at first friendship date! Emily and I always call each other soulmates because it truly felt that way. We instantly felt deeply connected and could bond over so many things so quickly! She became Cole and I's third wheel and we would go everywhere together! She is a constant joy to be around and although she lives in Indiana, she is the first to pick up any call and always has the best advice. We can't wait to make more memories with our forever third wheel as husband and wife!

Jonah Friedrich

Groomsman

Jonah and I first met at his wedding in San Diego. I was fortunate enough to be able to witness his special stay where we all celebrated the love between him and Madi. Jonah has always been welcoming to me into the family and although we live in separate states now, I always enjoy our time together. I can always count on him for some friendly (or not) competition whether it's bowling or mini golf.


Danielle Friedrich

Bridesmaid

Danielle is my cousin by blood but friend by choice. She may be quiet to some, but to me, she is someone I can always share a laugh with and depend on. Danielle and I grew up having similar interests which included sports and a love for grandma's pancakes! We were only a year apart in high school and have the best memories from playing basketball together. I could always pass the ball to her and she would score, it really was that simple. Even though she is younger than me, I look up to her in so many ways and I am so thankful to have her as a cousin and a friend.

Jake Hedington

Groomsman

Jake and I met while playing baseball at Sac City. He is the guy that can spark laughter in an entire room simply by being himself. We stayed in touch over the years while in different states and have spent a lot of time together since we both now live in Walnut Creek. Jake and his girlfriend Ali have added so much joy to Hannah and I’s lives and we are very fortunate to have their friendship.


Nicole Bettencourt

Bridesmaid

Nicole is my big sister! She married into the Bettencourt family who my parents and siblings have been blessed to grow up with our whole lives! When I first met Nicole, I knew she was someone I would want in my corner forever. Nicole is also a nurse and if you know her, you know how fitting that career is for her. I called her in my hardest times in nursing school and she always put me back together. Nicole has always been one of the most supportive people in my life and being able to stand by her side in her wedding in September of 2021 and watching her become a mother in 2024 has been absolutely incredible. I couldn't imagine this day without her!

Hunter Whitson

Groomsman

Hunter and I met during high school and have been up to no good ever since. From showing up to 1st period late to FaceTiming when he was overseas, our friendship has been extremely dependable. Hunter is someone I know I can count on for support during exciting times as well as difficult times. There is never a doubt whether or not he will show up for me no matter the circumstances and for that I am thankful.


Taylor McSpadden

Bridesmaid

Taylor and I met on our first day of clinical in nursing school. We always laugh that we were just school friends until we became real life friends! Taylor is someone who will always put you first, she is loyal and has been a constant for me since the day we met. We even took our NCLEX together and she laid in bed the whole day with me while I sobbed after I swore that I failed. Taylor's family felt like my home away from home in Nashville, so much so that her mom took me out to lunch for my birthday! Taylor has played a huge role in my love for God and in growing my faith. She is the friend that I have the deepest talks with and has shown so much love to Cole and I in such a short amount of time. This day wouldn't be the same without her standing beside me.
