Wedding Party

Meet our friends who have been there since the start of our love story:

Molly Henry

Maid of Honor

Molly and I met during my first year of teaching in 2017, and she’s been a constant ever since. Molly would give you the shirt off her back — and then bedazzle it in your favorite color and hand you your go-to Starbucks to match. Always up for adventure, a normal phrase for us is: “(Band name) is coming — you in?”

Jacqueline Hogg

Matron of Honor

How do you sum up a lifetime of friendship? We used to run and hide when playdates were over, and it’s still just as hard to say goodbye when we’re together. Growing up next door meant growing up side by side, and no amount of distance has changed our bond. Jacqueline has been there for it all.

Gertrude Danso

Bridesmaid

If you’ve ever wondered what a Disney princess come to life would be like, it’s Gertrude. Her positivity, faith, and joy for living are truly infectious. We were introduced after high school by our favorite choir teacher — thanks, Mrs. Babcock! We love practicing swing dancing (yes, you’ll see it at the wedding!), sharing recipes, and making each other laugh.

Sara Dohse

Bridesmaid

Sara is my sister-in-law, and feels like the sister I never had. She’s my voice of reason AND the one who knows exactly how to kick off the party. One of my favorite recent memories is absolutely crushing the competition as snowmen at her annual Christmas party. I’m so grateful to have Sara by my side on such an important day!

Emily Lee

Bridesmaid

Emily and I have known each other since elementary school and grew closer in choir, always sharing the same loves — reading, running, a cozy cup of tea, impromptu commentary during The Bachelorette. Our shared wanderlust has led to unforgettable adventures, from Québec to Olympic basketball games in France. How lucky am I to have a friend who loves to harmonize AND travel!

Stacey Ochoa

Bridesmaid

Stacey and I met in 2017 while teaching, and I knew she was a forever friend when I discovered she loved puzzles and true crime podcasts as much as I do. She’s the person I can lock eyes with in a crowded room and know she’s thinking the same thing. We also share the opinion that The Hunchback of Notre Dame is the most underrated Disney movie, a hill we are fully prepared to die on.
