Wedding Party
Barbara Epting
Matron of Honor
Barbara is Jennie's older sister. Barbara would describe childhood Jennie as a tyrant who always got her in trouble but was really the one who was the problem. Jennie has another story.
Char Martin
Best Person
Char and Evan met while working at Amazon and learned they both came from the warehouses before joining a Learning and Development team. The two bonded over their shared experience of Warehouse work, understanding people, and working hard to make peoples lives easier. Though Char is still beating Evan in Mario Kart Races (221-115), the two have fun roasting each other about their respective hockey teams
Kathy Wiles
Bridesmaid
Kathy and Jennie became friends while leading Young Life together in college. They have stayed connected since then even though they have never lived in the same state at the same time. Kathy was pregnant with her first child during the pandemic and Jennie would do prenatal workouts with her over facetime everyday while working from home.
Grant Collins
Groomsman
Grant is Evan's older brother and has known Evan his whole life. Grant has shared many life lessons with Evan along the way and helped him get to where he is today!
Sarah Tyler
Bridesmaid
Jennie used to volunteer with a nonprofit organization that mentors' students and met Sarah when she was a freshman in high school. They have been on so many adventures together they can't be listed, and Sarah has visited Jennie in Seattle every year since she moved here. Over the last 10 years, what started as a mentor/mentee relationship became true friendship that is invaluable. Jennie was thrilled to stand next to Sarah as she said, "I do" and now Sarah can't wait to do the same.
Chazz Kasskes
Groomsman
Evan met Chazz at the Unexpected Productions theater and have worked together for several shows. Chazz always throws Evan a curveball during shows and makes sure he is paying attention! Chazz has been a great friend to Evan throughout his time in Seattle, welcoming him into the improv community and Seattle in general
Ruby Epting
Flower Girl
Ruby made Jennie an aunt. There is a photo of Ruby as a baby wearing a onesie Jennie made that says, "If you think I'm cute you should see my aunt...Do you want to be my uncle?" Thankfully, it didn't work and now years later, Uncle Evan arrived.
Asher Collins
Ring Bearer
Ashman made Evan an uncle in 2021. Asher is a kind-hearted little boy who always wants to play and make sure he includes his little sister whenever he can! Asher loves his Uncle Evan, but has replaced him with Aunt Jennie, asking frequently where she is and when he can see her again.
Lilly Epting
Flower Girl
Lilly is Jennie's 2nd niece. She wore the same onesie as her sister, with the same results.
Addy Collins
Flower Girl
Addy is Evan's first Niece and is the adventurous one in the family! She has a great energy, wonderful smile, and knows when it's time for bed (willingly will walk herself to her bed every night)!
