Wedding Party

Brandon Pollard

Groom

Molly Foster

Bride

Ryan Pollard

Best Man

Ryan is Brandon's older brother. Ryan and Brandon shared a room growing up for several years, caught staying up late playing chess or their made up game, Trinket Shot. They share interests in collecting sports cards and playing basketball (which Ryan will never lose at), and Brandon's favorite memories with Ryan are all the years of driving to school together growing up, spending quality time chatting and joking around.

Melanie Mesagno

Maid of Honor

Mellers! Melanie and Molly have known each other since their freshman year of high school. They became tight throughout their years as Analy Tigers, and have since walked across two countries, traveled the world, drank a lot of wine, eaten a lot of cheese, and discussed lots of big questions about existence together.

Jordan Pollard

Best Man

Jordan is Brandon's younger brother and the one that got all the best genes. Jordan and Brandon share a passion for running and Brandon's favorite memories with Jordan are their trip to England and Scotland in 2017 and the countless miles they have shared together running through the trails in Sisters. They grew up building Legos, playing chess, collecting Pokémon cards, and creating home videos in middle school that will never again see the light of day.

Jessica Rosen

Bridesmaid

Jessica and Molly were neighbors in Sebastopol from ages 2-8 or so. They spent hours running back and forth between their houses—eating toast, getting muddy, jumping on trampolines, climbing trees, not sharing their polly pockets (oops that was just Molly), and generally causing a ruckus.

Kellen Manley

Groomsman

Kellen was Brandon's roommate and teammate at Gonzaga since day one. They met their freshman year of college and their coach Tyson takes pride in setting the two of them up as roommates-turned close friends despite being nearly polar opposites. Brandon's favorite memories with Kellen are the hours spent together messing around in their dorm at Gonzaga and climbing South Sister together.

Brazee Smith

Bridesmaid

Molly's twin and first friend at Gonzaga University. Molly and Brazee spent lots of time getting mistaken for the other during their years at GU. They also spent lots of time running, eating, doing homework and studying, and drinking tea together.

Ciaran O'Leary

Groomsman

Ciaran and Brandon met at Gonzaga and have since lived together after graduating. When not playing games, you can find them chatting football and college basketball or watching Survivor each week. Brandon's favorite memories with Ciaran are talking nonsense on Sunday runs in college, the always-fun trips to the cabin with intense games of Jump 21, and most significantly, the time they lived together in Seattle.

Megan Dillon

Bridesmaid

One of two fellow Californians from Molly's friend group at Gonzaga! Molly and Megan bonded over their Northern California roots and their love of dance. Megan and Molly ran together as part of Gonzaga's initial attempt at a sprint team, and while they didn't break any records, they had a good time circling the track together.

Will Thompson

Groomsman

Brandon's teammate at Gonzaga and housemate for a couple of years. Familiarly known as Squilliam Fancyson, Brandon and Will oddly met at the bathroom of old Hayward Field in Eugene, OR, in high school. They competed against each other for years before attending Gonzaga together, and they now both run for the same running club in Seattle. They regularly share miles on Seattle's paths and beers at their go-to local trivia spot. Brandon's favorite memories with Will are celebrating him at his bachelor party or the many times they visited Portland for spring break trips together.

Brianna Vasquez

Bridesmaid

Molly's other Washington transplant from California. Bri and Molly also ran on the cross country and track teams at Gonzaga University and spent many early mornings and late nights either lifting, running, or studying together. Oh, or photographing/taking video of the Gonzaga basketball team in the Kennel.

Graham Wendle

Groomsman

Graham and Brandon met as freshman at Gonzaga and clicked as fellow middle distance runners. They spent many evenings dueling in ping pong in their college dorm's basement. Brandon's favorite memory of Graham was also the epitome of his character--when he gave up his last race as a Gonzaga Bulldog to pace Brandon to qualify for NCAAs in the 1500m.

Kelly Gilbert

Bridesmaid

The gal pal who Molly was lucky enough to share Spokane and Washington, DC, with! Kelly and Molly were on the cross country and track teams at Gonzaga together and spent many miles running through Spo, discussing the ins and outs of life. Molly has never not belly-laughed when spending time with Kelly.

Max Kaderabek

Groomsman

Brandon met Max his first year at Gonzaga when Max was a sophomore on the track and XC teams. You can find them quipping over Survivor, college basketball, or the odd side of current fame such as the Rizzler and Moo Deng. Brandon's favorite memories with Max were the years of blood, sweat, and tears fighting on the same team in their team Olympiad with Ciaran and Graham, with the victory in 2015 being the sweetest.

Emma Morris

Bridesmaid

Emma and Molly ran together at Gonzaga and spent many hours cracking themselves up in Welch, and later at their little green house on Nora Street. The biggest dog-lover ever, an incredible writer, and as loyal of a friend as you can find, Emma has been by Molly's side for all the big moments.

Jack Pearce

Groomsman and Officiant

Brandon and Jack met as freshmen on the Gonzaga XC and track teams, and over the years they grew very close. Jack is the officiant of Molly and Brandon's wedding. He's "that guy." He would be the reason Brandon would consider moving back to Spokane, or anywhere for that matter. They share a love for the Sonoma County landscape and Atilanos burritos. Brandon's favorite memories with Jack are the countless beers shared at No Li and steps shared running the streets of Spokane.
