Lydia & Jacob
Wedding Party
Jorie Nove
Matron of Honor
Jorie is one of my three big sisters! We are the closest in age, and spent the most time together growing up. one of my favorite memories with Jorie is when we were younger, we would build little boats out of popsicle sticks and styrofoam whenever it rained, then find the best puddles in the neighborhood to float them in!
Emma Gronseth
Bridesmaid
Emma is the Second oldest of my sisters! This past year, we have been living and working together, which has been awesome and a great bonding experience for the both of us! We both share a love for running, and have spent many miles together over the past year!
Kyleigh Gray
Bridesmaid
Kyleigh is the oldest of my three sisters! Fun fact: she graduated law school in 2020 and she is just a super cool human! Kyleigh and I share a love for broadway musicals, true crime and my puppy nephew, Beauford! Some of my favorite memories with Kyleigh are going to see many musicals in Portland with her, Emma, and Jorie!
Jessica Cirlincione
Bridesmaid
Jessica and I have known each other for almost 20 years now and have been like sisters since the day we met back in the church nursery! We have shared so many memories together and she is truly someone I consider a life-long friend! I am so excited that she will be one of the amazing women standing beside me on our big day!
Nicole Renfroe
Bridesmaid
I met Nicole through Jake a couple Summers ago and knew that she would be someone I could rely on, especially as I make the transition from Oregon to California! Her boyfriend, Joe, is also in the wedding and both of them were there to celebrate with us the day we got engaged! I know there will be many memories made over the years and I am so excited to include Nicole in my bridal party!
Aurora Cirlincione
Flower Girl
Aurora is Jessica's daughter, and I consider her my niece! She is full of joy and such a light to be around! I knew the moment I found out that Jessica was having a girl and before I was even engaged, that she would be the flower girl in my future wedding, and I am so excited that I get to include her!
Christian Hughes
Best Man
Christian and I met at George Fox University in 2016 when I came to visit to practice with the track team. I then signed up to be on the floor that Christian was going to be a Resident Advisor for. They eventually were roommates for 2 years. Now, by day, Christian is an Area Coordinator at Eastern Nazarene University. By night, he fights crime in Gotham city dressed as a bat.
Matt Allen
Groomsman
Matt and I met working at Plant Services at George Fox University and have been friends ever since. We have been on many adventures together including two to Canada.
Keola Macloves
Groomsman
Keola and I were on the same freshman floor together and have been friends ever since. Freshman year there was a snow storm and as a result most of our finals were cancelled. Somehow we all found out that Keola had not seen the Dark Knight Trilogy. As a result instead of studying we all stayed up until about 4 AM watching those movies and enjoying the storm.
Joe Mills
Groomsman
Joe and I have been friends since freshman year of high school. During our senior year of high school, Joe informed me he wanted to ask out a friend of mine. Knowing they’d be comparable I encouraged him to do so. The next day at lunch I walked by them and we made eye contact and nodded. The next period this friend of mine sat right in front of me, slammed her purse on my desk and “Joe asked me out, you should come with.” I like the gentleman I am said “no.” Eventually, I gave in and said “yes”. You know…like a liar. Night of the date came along and I get a call from Joe and he said my car won’t start. I informed him I had four flat tires and I am sick. My friend called and asked where I was and I told her my predicament. Joe and Nicole are still together to this day.
Steve Brzozowski
Groomsman
Steve is my older brother and helped me a lot growing up. I have a lot of fond memories with my brother but one of my fondest memories with him is going to my first hockey game in Boston, Massachusetts.
