Hana & Jordan
Wedding Party
Aaron Winer
Best Man
My bro has always been there; he's not just a brother I can laugh with and confide in, he's a true friend that I enjoy hanging out with. And he's taken on the herculean task of planning the bachelor party to end all bachelor parties.
Paige Kuempel
Matron of Honor
Many words can be used to describe my matron of honor: Sister from another Mother, boss lady, concert buddy, my go to sushi companion, bible study leader but most accurate would be my best friend. Her wisdom in ignoring my public decree that, "I don't need or want any more friends" led to years of friendship that has spanned over all areas of my life. I am incredibly grateful to have her in our corner!
Dashiell Winer
Groomsman
Truly a blessing to have Dashiell as my son and Groomsman. What a cool dude and a future Chico Wildcat to boot. A father and son's journey is a helluva thing, not easy and maybe not supposed to be; but i'm honored that he'll be by my side and I love his sly humor, quick intelligence, Lacrosse moves and great hugs. Maybe it was supposed to be the other way around, but you've made me a better man.
Faye Winer
Bridesmaid
This amazing woman came into my life when I started dating her Dad. She instantly brought such warmth, love and acceptance that I was in awe of how full her heart was for everyone around her. One of Kai's and now my niece's favorite people, I am excited to have her as a bonus daughter and member of my family!
Daryl Nero
Groomsman
How lucky and blessed I am- not only did I find the fiancee of my dreams, but in the bargain I gained a true friend who in just a year has been there many times for me to lean on. Daryl is the definition of Heart and I'm honored he'll be by my side on the big day and many days to come.
Joanna Nero
Bridesmaid
This chica survived the "Hana inquisition" to marry my Best Friend, Daryl. Over the years she has become a sister, friend, Godmother to my son and now wedding consultant. She was our biggest cheerleader and predicted our Happily Ever After before either of us. Lucky to have her stand with us as we fearlessly enter into our fairytale!
Ryan O'Donnell
Groomsman
From Napa Valley brocations to sweaty matinees at John Hinckel park- Ryan has been behind many good times and a few times that got too good. In short, Ryan has been a true friend through good times and bad...seriously man, I have really been improved and enlightened by conversations with you..
Shannon Denton
Bridesmaid
In the dusty office of the Bingo Ranch, this fellow Mom walks in and introduces herself stating we have many mutual friends and that she has been looking forward to working with me. God definitely had a plan in dropping this woman and her family into my life as she is one of the confidants in my life that has never failed to fight for my happiness. Her family is deeply rooted into mine and I couldn't imagine my life without her!
John Warren
Groomsman
Man I've known this dude forever!! Through theatre years, teaching careers started and children arriving on the scene, "j war" is the guy I always know I can depend on and can talk to... Honestly i'd be kinda lost without you brother. Your intelligence and friendship have been a rock for me, I am so grateful...
Yoon Mitchell
Bridesmaid
I scored in the Cousin department!!! We were always the closest amongst all us cousins and now we raise our boys a few miles apart. What I love most about Yoon is that she shows love thru baked goods and quality time which are key to both Jordan's and my happiness.
Joel Ben Izzy
Groomsman
Ben Izzy is truly my brotha from anotha Jewish motha. A storyteller that can listen. A comedian that feel with you and stand by you. A magician who even when things are dark can pull a rainbow colored scarf out of the hat and make you smile. Joel is a smile. He's taught me more than he knows. Let it also be known that Joel is our officient and the captain of our ceremony!
Stephanie Schwarz
Bridesmaid
Waking to the ring of the doorbell, I opened the front door to a beautiful Mom with 3 kids and then remembered that I was hosting a playgroup for our kids. I welcomed her in and told her to make herself at home while I brushed my teeth and got dressed. Isn't that how all stories of friendships begin? Well for us, it has foreshadowed all the fun moments and is a constant reminder that our souls were already connected.
