Adam Savage
Officiant
Adam has spent his life gathering skills that allow him to take what's in his brain and make it real. He's built everything from ancient Buddhas and futuristic weapons to fine-art sculptures and dancing vegetables. In 1993, Adam began concentrating his career on the special-effects industry, honing his skills through more than 100 television commercials and a dozen feature films, including Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace and Episode II: Attack of the Clones, Galaxy Quest and the Matrix sequels. In 2002, Adam was chosen along with Jamie Hyneman to host MythBusters, which premiered on Discovery Channel in January 2003. Fourteen years, 1,015 myths, 2,950 experiments, eight Emmy nominations and 83 miles of duct tape later, the series ended in March 2016. Today, Adam stars in and produces content for Tested.com, including behind-the-scenes dives into multiple blockbuster films (including Ghost in the Shell, Alien Covenant and Blade Runner). He also produces and stars in his Brain Candy stage show with Vsauce's Michael Stevens. When he's not on an airplane, Adam lives in the San Francisco Bay area with his wife and their two dogs.
Karen Kuhlman
Witness
Hello! My name is Karen and I'm so honored to be a part of this truly special occasion for my friends, Andrew and Jess! A little bit about myself, I hail from the great Pacific Northwest (PNW). I'm an engineer just like the groom (we're actually coworkers!). I first met Andrew when he started at our company (Scaled Composites) and I was reassigned to the same program as him. Being the friendly, enthusiastic person he is, we immediately hit it off with our interest in classical music, musicals, aerospace, and love of punny, corny jokes. (Okay, dirty jokes too. I admit it. "That's what she said" may or may not be heard on a daily basis at work...) I met Jess shortly after, and I completely understood why Andrew was so smitten! ;) Bubbly, adorable, musically gifted, and just a genuinely warm individual. Upon meeting her, I couldn't imagine a pair more well-matched! Their engagement comes as no surprise to me. Some fun facts about myself: Favorite planet: Earth (Uranus is a close second... did I mention I'm a fan of dirty jokes? :)) Favorite composer: Tchaikovsky and John Williams Favorite instrument: Clarinet (I play it!) Favorite movie: Star Wars (everything pre-Disney - that's important) Favorite place in LA: Griffith Observatory The views are incredible and the building is a beautiful piece of architecture. Be prepared for crowds and terrible parking (typical LA)-- but it's one of those rare places where it's worth the frustration.
