Brian & Elizabeth
Wedding Party
Audrey Hinatsu
Best Woman
Audrey (a.k.a Monkey) is one of the best people I know—and my sister on top of that! She is everything I work hard at being. I look up to her more then she’ll ever know.
Kanaiya Mutua
Best Man
This guy! Best man indeed! Kanaiya and Brian go waaaay back. Actually, both their Dads knew each other before Kanaiya and Brian were born. Kanaiya and Brian have known each other since they were little kids back in Kenya. When these two are around each other, things get pretty hilarious. They are the true definition of brothers from other mothers.
Chad Morrison
Bridesman
Chad and I met in college. I’m pretty sure we were 19 at the time. Little did we both know he would turn into family—the son/brother the Hinatsu family never had! He’s seen me through the good, the bad, and the ugly. I had the honor of being in his wedding, and now he gets to be mine.
Sammie Herling
Groomswoman
Sam and Brian met in college back in Colorado. The two of them have been through thick and thin. She was around when Brian's father past away and was the true friend he needed through that time. From sharing interests in cars, a love for travel and enjoying a six pack while watching the storms pass over Denver, she is everything, plus more, a true friend should be.
Caitlin Larsen
Bridesmaid
Caitlin and I met at work. She is my partner in crime. I know I could call her at any time of day or night and she would help me—even if it was to hide the body. Even though we might be complete opposites we have an understanding of each other that is irreplaceable.
Eric Goldfain
Groomsman
He's Brian's brother! Can't you tell? Eric and Brian grew up overseas in Africa. Can you tell who is older?
Brooke Boswell
Bridesmaid
Our parents were friends before they started having kids. We call Brooke the experimental kid. She was the first to see if kids were a good idea. Brooke and I have traveled to Haiti together. It always seems like we just pick up right where we left off whenever I see her. Thanks for going first Brookey!
Robert Baker
Groomsman
Rob and Brian met back in Santa Barbara, California while attending Brooks Institute. Brian is the little brother Rob never got to have. They share a strong passion for photography, art...and the Foo Fighters! He helped Brian through some of his toughest years in college being away from his family after his Dad had passed away. These two know each other incredibly well and share some craaaazy stories. Keep an eye out for a book someday Rob might write about Brian's wacko life after they met.
Stacy Tyrrell
Bridesmaid
I’ve known Stacy her whole life! Oh the stories I could share! She is the person you want to be with when you are having a bad day. Stacy is one of the most crafty people I know and is the mastermind behind my beautiful flowers for my wedding!
Ari Grant
Bridesmaid
Ari and I also met at work. The first day we met I knew immediately that we were going to be friends! Little did I know that she was going to become one of the best ones. She and her husband, Drew, have set such a great example of what marriage is supposed to look like and the hard work it can take!
Mark Johnson
Groomsman
Mark and Brian met through the Hinatsu family. It didnt take long for these two to connect. Even though they have very different backgrounds, these two goofy guys enjoy screaming at the TV while playing FIFA together as well as a love for God.
Kylie Hughes
Bridesmaid
Kylie and I go all the way back to the homeschool group! We shared a common bond of very similar sibling situations. Kylie and I have always talked about being in each other’s wedding—and now it can be a reality!
Jordan Mumley
Groomsman
Jordan! Oh my! He and Brian also go waaay back to growing up together in Kenya. They have known each other since 2nd Grade and made the move to the US the same summer in 2004. His love for God, care for others, and the energy he carries with him everywhere he goes, shows he is one of the greatest friends anyone could ask for. He is also now a father! Be sure to congratulate him!
Jane Boswell
Flower Girl
Jane (Brooke’s daughter and Stacy’s niece) showed me how much love I could have for a friend’s child.
Brenden Goldfain
Ring Bearer
This handsome young fella is Eric's son! He's all about cars and sound effects. He will definitely have girls chasing him as he grows up.
Ali Hinatsu
Bridesmaid
Ali has the best sense of humor ever! She won’t ever hesitate to laugh at you either! So glad she gets to be a part of our special day!
