Wedding Party
Kayla Thomas
Maid of Honor
Kayla and Genesea grew up spending long days at the beach, watching Disney movies, and making home Crocodile Hunter videos. They are the type of sisters that will always be there for one another. It is an honor that such a wonderful sister gets to be a part of this special day.
Alex Dietz
Best Man
Regardless of the wedding, Alex is Cory's best man every day of his life. Even though Alex is slightly younger than him, Cory has always looked up to Alex as an older brother.
Sabrina Bergsma
Bridesmaid
Sabrina is Genesea's roommate and ride-or-die best friend. Whether it's sipping champagne from the bottle in a kiddy pool in the backyard or starting chants at a Padres game, the fun they bring becomes contagious.
Curtis Pieramico
Groomsman
Curtis, or "Curtty Lou", is Cory's oldest friend. They met when they were five years old and never looked back. If you ever see Cory doing anything luxurious, you can count on Curtis being by his side.
Shannon Powell
Bridesmaid
Since high school, Shannon and Genesea were not only best friends with each other, but with Cory and his groomsman as well. Some of Genesea's favorite memories are hanging out with Shannon and the guys in the canyon behind Shannon's house or listening to Cory's friends play music. Genesea knows that Shannon is a friend that will always be there for her.
Micah Beutz
Groomsman
Known to Cory as "Meeks", Micah has always been Cory's biggest fan and influencer when it came to his music and sports. If it wasn't for Micah, Cory would have never joined surf team in high school or performed his music in places like Los Angelos and Philadelphia.
Rachel Hickman
Bridesmaid
Rachel and Genesea met while they were both working at BeachBreak cafe and immediately became close friends. From quick trips to Las Vegas to graduation celebrations in Cabo, you cant catch these two together without laughter and smiles.
Brian Armendariz
Groomsman
Just switch the "I" with the "A" and you get "BRAIN". Cory's metal head friend from high school who knows how to party. If you ever see Brian pin a wedge shot from 120 yards out on the golf course, just know it was Cory who gave him the right advice before he swung.
Loni Merritt
Bridesmaid
Genesea would describe Loni as her "Sunshine child". They met at a young age while paddling out-riggers in the Oceanside harbor and since then have enjoyed roller-skating, biking, kayaking, and soaking up the sun.
Jesse Price
Groomsman
When Jesse moved in with Cory and Genesea in 2018, Cory couldn't believe they had never met. Knowing all the same friend circles and having been to many of the same functions, they were a friendship waiting to happen.
Kenady Cummings
Bridesmaid
Genesea met Kenady while attending Santa Barbara community college and became her go-to travel companion. Reaching places together such as Barcelona, Croatia, Paris, Rome, Munich, and Amsterdam, there is nowhere these two can't find a good time.
Jordan Ferguson
Groomsman
If you looked up "competitor" in the dictionary, you would see a picture of J-Ferg. From mountain biking in Utah, snowboarding in Tahoe, or a good fantasy football matchup, Cory and Jordan are always racing towards the finish line.
Ashley Hofer
Bridesmaid
Genesea's childhood neighborhood friend, Ashley has been a part of Genesea's life since the beginning. Today they are co-workers at VAPA elementary school in Vista. Genesea not only see's Ashley as a close, life long friend, but a professional mentor as well.
Eric Matzinger
Groomsman
Eric is Cory's cousin but has been a part of his life like a brother. From fishing in Mammoth for opening day to lightsaber fights in the backyard, Eric has always been by Cory's side.
Elvie Dixon
Flower Girl
The cutest little flower girl to ever get her hands on some pedals; Elvie, might be the only person capable of stealing the show. Daughter of bridesmaid Shannon and good friend Derek, get your tissues ready when you see her strutting down the aisle.
Ronnie Stark
Officiant
Ronnie has been a family friend of the Ladderbush's for over 25 years. Growing up, Cory's dad Doug would take Cory and Eric to Mammoth Lakes to fish every spring and fall, and Ronnie was always right there with them, along with his crazy yellow lab. Cory always admired Ronnie's shared interest of taste in music and of course his taste in beer. Since their engagement, Ronnie has come to love Genesea as though she has been by Cory's side since the very beginning by welcoming her into his home and his life with open arms.
