Jenny and I grew up side by side in Salt Lake. We did so much together, from playing bassoon, competing in water polo, and so many summer sleepovers! We promised each other as kids we would be each others Maid of Honor, So I'm so excited to have her there with me.

Emily is my Island BFF! Nicknamed "the Fox Lady" for her love of Catalina Island Fox, Emily is kind, caring, humble and a total badass! We spend nights together chatting about animals, and we spend our days diving and training with the fire department.
Leah Werner
Bridesmaid
Leah is my best friend from High School. We played in band together, and had so much fun on band road trips. Her family took me with them to Belize where I renewed my love for diving! That's when I decided to become a dive pro. Leah's friendship has really shaped my life. I love how fun, care-free, and upbeat she is!
Amy Bastida Cleveland
Bridesmaid
Amy and Mitch were the first friends of Mikes to really welcome me into the group. I'll never forget how uncomfortable Amy made Mike when she made "wedding" jokes in the first month we were dating! She truly was the first one who knew we would end up together forever! She called it!
