Wedding Party
Courtney Federoff
Matron of Honor
Kayla and Courtney met in high school, where Courtney introduced her to show choir and helped guide her through some very dramatic teenage years. She’s always been the organized one who somehow knows exactly what to say and do... including helping Kayla survive her first date with Jarid! Kayla is so grateful to have her standing by her side when she says "I do!"
Jacob Goodwin
Best Man
Jacob is the person who’s known Jarid the longest, his built in best friend from the start. From all nighters playing video games, to tackling CSUF’s computer science program, to both working at IBM, they’ve been through it all together. And somehow, they both came out the other side as great men!
Christopher Keel
Bridesman
Chris is Kayla’s brother and built in best friend. They’ve been through a lot together, and he’s spent most of their lives enduring her bossing him around... especially during those "Pretty Pretty Princess" marathons! He’s always had her back, and he’s thrilled to see her find another great guy, Jarid, to take over the role of looking out for her!
Paige Blue
Groomswoman
Paige and Jarid go way back to high school, but it wasn’t until their time at the Branding Iron that they truly hit it off! They quickly became karaoke fanatics and regulars at Pixels and Menagerie. From college to the working world, they’ve always supported each other, and now they’re both excited for the future, whether it’s sharing new adventures together or carving their own paths.
Richard Durazo
Bridesman
Richard and Kayla have known each other since kindergarten, but didn’t really become friends until after college. They lived together in LA for a bit, spent plenty of time duetting in the car, and he even taught her how to walk (and dance) in 6 inch heels in West Hollywood. Richard has a way of lighting up any room and is often the reason for spontaneous laughter and unforgettable moments!
Hayley Dragotto
Groomswoman
Jarid and Hayley met in the early 2000s when Hayley moved in next door. From making movies (watch out for Alien Possible 2 coming soon) to countless nights at the Branding Iron, they've shared some unforgettable moments. Jarid is proud to call Hayley his "unofficial sister," and she’s ready to "paaaaaarrrrrttttttaaaaayyyyy!"
Christopher Dato
Officiant
Ex-Neudesians, but forever friends. Chris and Jarid met at work, and it didn’t take long for Jarid to appreciate Chris for his positivity (he’s literally Chris Traeger, Jarid swears), and his authenticity (yep, once again, literally-literally Chris Traeger). Jarid and Kayla are honored to have Chris officiate the ceremony and can’t wait to see him bring that infectious energy to the big day!
Bennington Goodwin
Best Cat
Bennington (or Benny) has been a staple in Jarid's life since adopting him, and Kayla's life since becoming a (step?) mom for him. Benny while he may be annoying at 5AM when he wants to cuddle (or eat mom's hair), he is a true source of love and loves both of his parents equally. He is excited to have mom here full time!
