Wedding Party
Brie Paulsen
Matron of Honor
My little sister (who’s taller than me, ugh :/) - photographer extraordinaire, pasta fanatic, super speedy soccer star, our very own Italian stallion. She’s extremely motivated, super fun, and can do a mean Irish jig (how? We don’t know. Born with it I guess, some ppl are #blessed). Thank goodness the world didn’t give me a different sister bc I’d have to ditch that loser and go find Brie bc she’s my favorite and the best sister. Also, who would act as my personal drill sergeant if not for Brie?
Ben Watson
Best Man
Ben was my first best friend and my brother from another mother. It all started racing our bikes through the Village of Arroyo Grande then playing airsoft in the weeds, to traveling with friends and family and now he is a dad and I'm getting married. He is someone you can always learn something new from and when you need tax advice hit him up! He is easy to spot on the dance floor he will probably have his shirt unbuttoned and swinging his tie over his head "haha." He has always been there for me with wisdom, a laugh, and good times! I am honored to have Ben be my best man and my brother from another mother!
Kenna Remeyer
Matron of Honor
I met Kenna in our freshman year dorm hall and lived with her for the last 3 years of college. She’s a hoot & a half to be around and one of the most fun kooks you’ll ever meet. We have a shared love of cooking, morning movies, and about 4783456723 other things that make our friendship so fun :) She radiates warmth and makes it so easy for anyone to be their true self around her.
Jordan Smith
Groomsman
I call him "Jucy J." One of the friendliest and most thoughtful guys I know. Always thinking of ways to help others first. We got to know each other through high school and we were even roommates post-graduation. Hands down the best roommate! The man knows how to have a good time and always set the vibe right with good music! Don't let his chill vibes fool you "Juicy J" gets down on the dance floor. He is an inspiration to me and if you get the chance to talk to the guy he will inspire you as well! He lives by the motto "Stay Positive" and even started his own music management company around that phrase.
Megan McGuigan
Bridesmaid
One of my best friends ever since we played soccer together as lil youngins and she used to playfully beat me up (thankfully those days are over lol). Lover of sunsets, a good glass of wine, and taking me on aggressive, but fun, Yosemite hikes (Upper Falls + Half Dome, I’m sore just thinking about it). Has been by my side through just about every season of life and I don’t know what I’d do without her!
Walker Sotello
Groomsman
Never a dull moment with this guy! He is an inspiration and friend to many. You will be impressed with his swagger and knowledge. He has known Savana and me for years, he has seen us through good times and hard times. His friendship and love never fails. I wouldn't be surprised if one day he has his own TV show or is a motivational speaker. The man knows how to close a deal and get the most out of every day; sets big goals, and achieves them! Watch out folks, like I said never a dull moment.
Brooke Stupar
Bridesmaid
Croissant connoisseur, aesthetic queen, future famous DJ, Brooke of all trades, fellow lover of pepperoni pizza slices. Can (and will) tear up a dance floor with some truly incredible moves. The perfect cocktail of calm, cool, collected, sassy, and is ever ready to drop it drop it low girl.
John Wampler
Groomsman
Where do I begin... Watch out, ladies! This man is not scared to make new friends and will definitely make you laugh! We have been by each other side for over a decade. Savana calls him my boyfriend and John calls me his boyfriend too. From countless road trips to score fresh snow and waves on the same day, he has endless stories of adventure and fun times we have endured. Fun fact; he is a lover of classic cars and trains. He is best friends with everyone he gets to know.
Kathleen Mireles
Bridesmaid
Ex-coffee shop coworker turned friend. Kath is human sunshine. She knows how to make anyone feel loved and knows how to have a dang good time. Years ago, our first hang ever was to visit a farmer’s market because apparently, we have always had our priorities straight ok! She’s always down for a cocktail and gals night and I love her for it <3
Nick Chapman
Groomsman
"CHAPPY!" That's what we call him. A man of many hobbies. He is full of life, and good times and never stops adventuring. If I had to choose one dude to be stuck in the wilderness with, Chappy would be that guy. He is always prepared for any circumstance. His knowledge of saving lives, and his skills in the backcountry will impress you! I mean he is a lifeguard, a harbor patrol officer, and an avid hunter. His passion for good bbq makes me want to become a grill master myself. This dude shows me the importance of making the most out of every day which makes me very thankful to have him be a best friend and in my wedding.
Kelly O'Sullivan
Bridesmaid
Erik’s sister (soon to be mine too, yay!). An epic adventure gal who is always down for an outdoorsy time and could easily kick your booty running, swimming, or biking. She’s lovely and has an easy-going personality and I so appreciate her always welcoming me into the O’Sullivan fam with such open arms <3
Devon Ruda
Groomsman
"DEVOOO!" That's what we call him. A friend of everyone and just a fun guy to hang out with! I am honored to call him one of my best friends. In our early college stages, Devo, myself, and our friends would have too much fun in our small grimy house in SLO. This kid knows how to party "haha." He has always gotten me out of my comfort zone and made me push my abilities while surfing, skating, and mountain biking! The word "appreciate" is an understatement for the friendship! He has taught me a lot in our young years but one thing he always shows me is the adventure never stops and to never look back!
Lily Watson
Bridesmaid
Erik’s sister from another mister! Big chiller, so fun to be around, overall top-notch human. She just graduated high school and is cool wayyy beyond her years. Can’t wait to see her living it up when she starts college this fall and stoked to make many more awesome memories in the years to come :)
Ronan Paulsen
Groomsman
A man with style and class! He is family and married to Savana's beautiful sister Brie. Ronan has seen Savana and me since day one, he has become a brother to the both of us. We both started dating the Welch sisters in high school and have been by each other's side since then. His smile and positive energy are a treat to have around especially at family dinner when the girls are being sassy. If you get the chance to talk with him his knowledge of photography and rockets will blow your mind. He shoots photography with his wife on the weekends and builds rockets during the week. A legend in the making!
