I CANT WAIT TO MARRY MY BEST FRIEND
Alyssa Chatman
Matron of Honor
Hello I’m Alyssa, Sierra’s first sister for those that don’t know. I am so incredibly excited for Jake and Sierra to finally take this step in their life together, and I am honored to stand beside them. Jake, thank you for always being there for our family in any way possible, and for being one of the few who can put up with Sierra when she’s being… well, Sierra. You treat her with the love, patience, and care she’s always deserved. I am so proud of the people you are both becoming, the past versions of yourselves that strived for better and everything you aspire to be. Sierra, we are sisters and it has been magic. There is so much of me I could never be, without you. As children we would fight over the remote or who got the front seat and we would annoy each other until one of us cried, usually me. And ya know, as adults, not much of that has changed but every piece of advice, every shared tear, every laughter filled adventure has meant everything to me. You’ve been my closest friend, my partner in crime, the pink to my purple, the corona to my lime and growing through this life with you has been one of the greatest gifts of my life. Sierra and Jake have created a beautiful life filled with so much love and adventure and anyone would feel lucky to be able to experience life with them. It fills my heart completely to see the love they share and have always deserved. Cheers to the Harneys and all of the adventures to come!
Mitchell Conrads
Best Man
I am Mitchell, Jake’s best man, a title I am grateful and proud to carry. Meeting Jake and Sierra prior to them getting together means I got to witness the strength of their love. Seeing them go through their ups and downs, growing up as people and as a couple. I feel thankful we have gotten to experience so much together and are still close. I have seen the amazing people they have become and the beautiful family they have made. Jake and Sierra, I love you both and can’t wait to celebrate your marriage.
Elysha Alvarez
Bridesmaid
My name is Elysha, and I have the privilege of calling Sierra my bestie for the restie. Sierra and I met 9 years ago at work, and since then she’s always been someone I can look to for advice, a good laugh, or a shoulder to cry on. There has yet to be an adventure I have taken that did not have Sierra along for the ride (except that one cruise that we won’t talk about). She taught me how to ski, took me to my first bar, and has taught me time and time again about the meaning of friendship. Jake is the big brother I never had. He forces you to be brave - AKA makes you zip line in the Mexican jungle despite a debilitating fear of heights, try to kill you on a jet ski, and lead you through the forest on the mountain when you’re CLEARLY only a green circle skier. All that to say these two mean the absolute world to me and it’s my absolute honor to be apart of their special day. Congratulations to their happily ever after!
Tabor Alvarez
Groomsman
Hello, my name is Tabor and I met Sierra and Jake back in the summer of 2020. I was a newcomer to an already large friend group and felt nervous about meeting so many people. There were times when I felt out of place, but Sierra and Jake never shied away from approaching me to get to know me. One question they asked was, “Have you ever been snowboarding?” Sierra and Jake looked disappointed when I said no. So that winter, I decided to go to White Pass for my first time to try snowboarding. I was given an hour on the bunny hills to learn the basics before going to the top of the mountain. I was humbled pretty quickly. I don’t think I made it off one lift without falling to a point where even Elysha didn’t want to sit next to me. Now, it was just Jake and me on the lift, and I was in so much pain. I had no idea how much my calves would burn. I told Jake and asked him if that was normal. He just hit me with his signature chuckle and said, “Ohh yeah, means you’re getting after it.” At this point, my legs are dead, Sierra said she’ll ski in the back with Elysha in case I crash again, and Jake was now trying to convince me to try a black diamond . I then realized who Sierra and Jake were: a loving and caring couple who want to see the best out of all their friends, even if you fall 50 times. It’s crazy to think we were strangers over 5 years ago, and I am so happy to be a part of your journey together!
Salena Sherrer
Bridesmaid
I’ve known Sierra and Jake for a long time- over a decade! I met Sierra sophomore year of high school and Jake in elementary. Throughout the years I’ve watched them meet, fall in love, start a family, and now get married (Finally)! Watching their journey together has been one of the greatest joys of my life. Aside from her beauty, Sierra has the most caring heart and best sense of humor! No matter the situation I can always count on her for a laugh. And Jake.. where do I start?! Besides being the best dad ever, Jake is the life of the party and biggest hype man; With the two of them together it’s impossible to have a bad time. I’m so lucky I get to be apart of your special day and can’t wait to watch even more of your love story unfold! I love you guys so much!!! #Bffs4ever
Corey Stahl
Groomsman
Hey everyone, I’m Corey and I’m excited to finally be standing as a groomsman for Jake and Sierra’s wedding, because it’s about time! I’ve known Jake forever, I met him playing football back in 7th grade, and I met Sierra my freshman year of high school. When they started dating, it was obvious they were meant for each other. They balance each other perfectly and have always had each other’s backs through thick and thin. Beyond just being a great couple, Jake and Sierra are the glue of our friend group, organizing and planning just about everything we do and keeping us ready for the next adventure. Watching them grow together, start a family, and now finally get married has been amazing, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for them. So here is to Jake and Sierra finally tying the knot. You two are perfect together and we are all lucky to witness it.
Shyanne Knoblock
Bridesmaid
My name is Shyanne, I am honored to be a part of Sierra and Jakes life and their special day. I’ve known Jake and Sierra for about 7 years now. Over those years they have both shown again and again how amazing, caring, fun, and supportive they can be. They are always first to go out of their way to be there when we are in need. To bring us along on their adventures, that lead to some of the best memories I have. To throw graduation and birthday party’s for us because they love to do all that they can to bring joy to the important people in their life (and of course love to party). To always come through to Ozzys baseball practices when they can, showing there endless support for my kids as well. I cherish every moment we spend together, each adventure and memory we create. My whole family adores you both, and we are so excited to be by your side through your next chapter of life.
Sire Sawtell
Groomsman
What’s up, I’m Sire and I am so happy to be one of Jake’s groomsman! Jake and sierra have been like brother and sister to me for as long as I can remember. So many great times we share from the many concerts we’ve been too, or the great times on the mountain shredding the snow, I’m so happy for these guys and honored to be part of this beautiful moment and so excited for these 2 to get married! I love you both -sire
Lauren Williams
Bridesmaid
Hiii, my name is Lauren and I have known Sierra and Jake since before they were actually even together… some might say fate brought them together, but they both know it was ME! Sierra and I have been through so much.. friendship, hardship, love, loss and no matter the time apart every time we see each other we pick up exactly where we left off. She’s a best friend I know I can call at any given time and she would drop everything, to help me or anyone she cares about for that matter. I can say the exact same thing for Jake. I think that’s why they work so well together. Their love and kindness is something I strive for. Jake was a little hooligan in high school, but I am so lucky to call him a friend and see what a compassionate, loving, badass father and family man he has become. I am so happy and grateful they found each other and I get to share and be apart of not just a special day, but a whole week(my very first cruise ever)to celebrate their endless love for each other!! I love you both so much.

Jake and Sierra, Over the years we have all had some great adventures. There have been times where I have been out of my comfort zone and through those times you both offer me nothing but encouragement and support. I have always appreciated this. Jake, I could not ask for a better brother-in-law and husband for Sierra. Your patience and caring are unmatched! Sierra, thank you for being there for Alyssa and I over the last almost 14 years (well for Alyssa’s whole life really haha). Here’s to your love, I cannot wait to celebrate it alongside you at your wedding!

Curie Saxton
Bridesmaid
Hello my name is Curie and I have known Sierra and Jake for about 6 years now! I met them shortly after moving to Washington and was so scared to meet new people and put myself out there. Meeting them was an absolute blessing! They are the most caring, loving, and giving people I have ever met! They love my babies like their own and show me that there are still good people out there and I have nothing to worry about! Some of my best memories include both Jake and Sierra, they took me to my very first big festival, got me on my first boat at Chelan, got me to do my first keg stand with JJ to now getting me to conquer my fear of cruises. We’ve gone on countless adventures together and now have the blessing to do all those things with our amazing sons! I have the biggest honor in being Sierra bridesmaid and watching her and Jake love each other unconditionally every single day! They are a true inspiration to what love is! Everyone should take notes on how they go through life with each other unapologetically. I am so excited to be apart of this wedding and continue to be apart of both of your guys love journey. I love you both so much thank you for allowing me to be apart of your life’s!

Groomsman
I’m excited to be apart of something so amazing and special on this journey of love. I first met Jake when I was living with Corey 7 years ago. Jake was on his way over to the house and Corey was telling me how Jake is this huge, scary, mean dude. Well he wasn’t necessarily right in that story but at this point I didn’t know what to think. When he got there he greeted me with a big smile, firm handshake and said “ Hi, my name is Jake.” Corey had me feeling like I was about to meet some crazy dude! From that day on Jake has been one of my best friends and someone I can count on if I ever needed help. He’s a great dad, hard worker and an all around gentleman. I met Sierra shortly after! Sierra and I have made so many memories together. Anything from beer pong partners to clam digging in Westport. She’s someone that knows how to have fun but get down to business if needed and she truly cares about the people in her life. You both are great people and I’m thankful to have friends like you two. Cheers to the Bride and Groom!
