Heather Goossen
Maid of Honor
Heather is Ashley's youngest sister by blood and grand little sister in Kappa Kappa Gamma. Heather is studying to be a pharmacist at UC San Francisco. Heather is insanely smart and beautiful but also so humble at the same time. One of Ashley's best memories with Heather was when she pinned her at Kappa initiation. Even though Ashley was done with undergrad at Fresno State when Heather started, she has many fun memories of chaperoning Kappa Formal and still getting to spend time with Heather. Ashley loves that Jacob and Will, Heather's boyfriend, get along so well and can't wait for her to move back to Fresno! Heather is often seen wearing Ashley's clothes and jewelry and they rarely fight about it any more.

Destinie Witmer
Bridesmaid
Destinie is one of Ashley's good friends from high school. They knew who each other in high school but didn't start hanging out until junior year when they were in a PE class together. Ashley would see Destinie around talking to other friends but was always too shy to say hello. Destinie thought Ashley was stuck up but realized that wasn't completely true! Ashley and Jacob met because of Destinie and have many good memories hanging out with her in college. Destinie moved to Texas about 5 years ago so they don't see each other as much but whenever they get together it's like no time has passed. They too have passed the 10 year friend mark which means they will be friends for life! Ashley totally admires Destinie's outgoing, fun and crazy personality!
Aaron Gulack

Even if they don't talk for a few weeks or even a few months they just pick up right where they left off the next time they talk. Chelsea comes to Fresno every summer for work and stays at Ashley's house.
