Wedding Party
Leah Collins
Matron of Honor
Leah has been my closest friend since the 5th grade! We've been through everything together - high school basketball games, moving houses, going to college, and both ending up studying nursing, which has been the biggest blessing. Year after year, Leah is and has always been the person I can go to for any reason, and the person who is always down for anything -she was my first call when it was time to go wedding dress shopping. All my best memories have her in it, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Alex Heinrich
Best Man
I met Alex in 8th grade, but it feels like I’ve known him my whole life. He’s always been more than just a friend, he’s a brother. We’ve done it all: arguing, competing, teasing, but most of all, laughing. I have so many memories of us sitting by the fire, in the car, or in our dorm room, crying because we couldn’t stop laughing. For all the laughter we’ve shared and all the laughter still to come, thank you for standing by my side and being my brother.
Macey Pearson
Bridesmaid
Macey is like a sister to me, and she is always the one to call for a spontaneous adventure! She is so bubbly and fun, and she has killer taste in music. Macey is so fun to do anything and everything with, so we've been to tons of concerts, new restaurants, and on a few road trips together! We also love crashing Leah and Jameson's house (sorry guys). It was a no-brainer to have Macey stand by me on the big day.
Jake Heinrich
Groomsman
If energy had a name, it would be Jake. He’s always the life of the party with so much to say... and so many accents to say it in! He makes every conversation interesting, and talking to him is the quickest way to go from upset to laughing your butt off. Not to mention, he shares my love for game nights. Thanks for all the great laughs Jake. I’m so excited for all the future adventures we’ll have together.
Alyssa Heinrich
Bridesmaid
Alyssa is not only the sister of the groom, but an amazing friend and nursing role model. She makes the best cookies ever, is an awesome Labor and Delivery nurse, and gives really good book recommendations! Not to mention, she's the best cat-mom to Hank. I'm so happy to be officially getting a big sister, even though I've always felt like she was already one to me anyways ;)
Daniel Randall
Groomsman
I met Daniel my first summer working at Big Lake, and I was so lucky he was there. He’s the perfect balance of serious and fun, and when you start a conversation with him, you’re never quite sure where it’s going to end up. Daniel made camp exciting. He brought so much energy for the campers and for the staff. Watching the way he interacted with campers taught me a lot about how to treat people well, even when they get on your nerves.
Baylee Moss
Bridesmaid
Baylee and I got really close in college when we roomed together Sophomore year. We spent lots of time dancing around our room, watching movies together, singing, and laughing until we cried. She's someone I know I can go to for anything, and she will always have good advice or something silly to say. She's one of the best friends a girl could ask for: generous, loving, and SMART! She's graduating with her bioengineering degree in June and I couldn't be prouder of her! :')
Diego Reyna
Groomsman
School can be tough, but taking engineering classes with Diego makes it so much easier. He’s so much fun to be around, unless the Dodgers are losing, but that’s just because he has so much passion for the things he cares about. Thankfully, that passion extends far beyond sports. Diego cares a lot about his friends, and you can always see that through his laughter, loyalty, and constantly pushing us to be better people.
Maddie Showalter
Bridesmaid
Maddie and I met while working at Big Lake Youth Camp, and we bonded over our love for nursing and our roles as camp counselors - her cabin was my cabin's downstairs neighbor, and we were on the same camp softball team. Ever since, we have been long-distance friends since she lives in Chattanooga, Tennessee, but we love catching up over facetime and text. She has the sweetest heart and is one of the funniest people I know.
Lane Neil
Groomsman
I met Lane my second summer at Big Lake. I was nervous about camp because I didn’t know many of the returning staff, but Lane changed that pretty quickly. When it was time to work, he was the first to lend a hand, and when the work was done, he was the first one out exploring. Lane has such a great heart and a playful attitude. He loves the outdoors and makes every adventure more fun just by being there.
Maddie Dietrich
Bridesmaid
Everyone deserves to know Maddie because she is human sunshine! Not only that, but she is such a hard worker. I've known Maddie almost all my life, and we have spend the last 3 summers rooming together as summer camp staff. She loves basketball, Jesus, and her people. I am so blessed to experience her friendship and excitement for life. She is also the record holder for most epic watch tan every single summer without fail. I love her to the moon.
Spencer Hall
Groomsman
Spencer is determined, strong, and loves to laugh. He’s the definition of a “yes man” because he's always willing to hang out or jump into something, even if it’s not his first choice or favorite idea. Whether we’re winning or losing, he’s always a good sport and an even better friend. I’m so glad you said yes to being a groomsman.
Leilani Gaurdado
Flower Girl
This girl is the spunkiest and most fun 5 year old ever. I am completely wrapped around her finger, exhibit A being that I have dressed up as her sidekick for a few Halloween trick-or-treat outings and I love that I am still sometimes called Elsa because of it.
Francis Saliba
Groomsman
Francis is the biggest goofball I know. He’s always looking for a good time and loves to mess around and make people laugh. But when he sets his mind to something, he’s as dedicated and hardworking as they come. To most people, he might seem like the guy who just wants to keep everyone laughing, but working with him at camp showed me that he has a huge heart and genuinely cares about the people around him.
Paddy McCoy
Officiant
Paddy is a pastor at Crosswalk Portland and he's awesome. We are pretty sure he will not only make you laugh, and make you cry, but also show us Jesus through his words on our wedding day.
