Joseph Michael Murray
Best Man
Joe has been my big brother as long as I can remember. We've had our ups and downs, but when it really comes down to it... I couldn't ask for a better "big bro." We haven't always been the closest but, my big brother played a pivotal role in who I am today. He taught me everything I know about good music... Inspired me in all my love for board sports (skate boarding, snowboarding, and surfing). And as of late... has been as amazing example in what a spiritual head really is and offers me guidance in the spiritual man I need to be. And that has never gone underappreciated. I love my big brother and the fine example he's set for me throughout the years and I'm so happy to have him as my best-man!
Katelyn Barraza
Maid of Honor
Best roommate I never had
Isaac Pannell
Groomsman
I remember the good ol' days in North Carolina when my big cousin used to walk to my house before school, and then we would walk to Churchland Elementary together through the back woods of our property. Isaac was a little closer in age than me and my big bro and we always shared a close friendship. Whether he recognizes it or not, I always looked up to him in various areas. As a skilled surfer, as a business-man, and also as of late, a fine example of what in means to be a spiritual head to his family, and how to always have a good time (within reason). I love my big cousin, and he's as much a big brother to me as anyone in my life
Lana Young
Bridesmaid
Mama/Aunty/Cousin:Sister kine.... she’s somewhere in there
Ben Hackman
Groomsman
One of my longest and best friends. Ben has always been by my side, even when he wasn't(due to distance). Ben and I have shared a memorable friendship ever since his family moved into my congregation in Ka'a'awa back when we were just kids. Memories of causing a ruckus around Turtle Bay Condos(where he used to live) and the North Shore as teens and exhausting late nights out and about as adults are memories I will always cherish with this guy. Ben is my brother from another mother, often my voice of reason, and I'm so thankful to have him as one of my groomsman.
Tomi Klepinger
Bridesmaid
She’s pretty cool despite what she thinks.
Austin Allgood
Groomsman
Through a loved mutual friend and our love for surfing, a quick and unbreakable bond was formed. There is so much I am thankful for this man coming into my life. Not only did I gain one of my best friends, but he was also one of the most pivotal and encouraging friends I could have ever have through one of the hardest times in both of our lives. This guy has has helped me to be a better man in so many ways and I am forever thankful for his role in my life.
Keenya Hederer
Bridesmaid
She’s awesome and sweet and so much fun!
Brey Loa
Groomsman
Fact: There is no "good" pictures of Brey... Regardless... Brey has been one of my best friends since I moved to Hawai'i. I came into Ka'a'awa congregation when I was 11 and Brey was one of my fast friends. Over the years I've had some of the most meaningful moments with this guy. We've gone on to lead very separate lives but hes still one of my closest friends and someone I can always confide in. I love this guy like a brother and I couldn't be happier to have him walking down the isle with me.
Brittany Holmes
Bridesmaid
She’s my real talk girl. Always appreciated. Always encouraging.
