Wedding Party
Stacie Damazo
Maid of Honor
Stacie and Natalie first met when working together in Eugene, Oregon and quickly became inseparable. When Stacie moved to Portland for law school, they frequently made trips to visit each other and it was the start to their long-distance best friendship. From hotel dance parties jumping on the bed, to strolls on the beach with coffee mugs full of wine, the list of great memories together is endless. It’s safe to say Stacie knows Natalie better than anyone and asking her to be Maid of Honor was a no-brainer.
Michael Eash
Best Man
Jeffrey has the best brothers (seven!) a guy could ask for, and Michael is one of the reasons why. Not only are they brothers, but they are close friends and always on the same page. Michael is nice, easy-going and intelligent. He always has a smile on his face and does a great job of bringing people together. Jeffrey can’t wait to have him by his side as best man and to cheers to the next chapter together.
Paula Decker
Matron of Honor
Paula is Natalie’s sister-in-law, but they might as well be real sisters and best friends wrapped into one. Natalie likes to joke that fate brought her brother Nick and Paula together so that Natalie and Paula could be sisters. Paula is an all-around amazing human and mom, and we love her for her huge heart, great sense of humor and ability to find the bright side of every situation. Keep an ear out for her Matron of Honor speech which is sure to make us laugh and cry all at once.
Nick Decker
Groomsman
Nick is Jeffrey’s future brother-in-law, and when they met for the first time, they hit things off immediately. Whether they are hanging out with the family playing games or enjoying beers on the boat, it is always time well spent. Jeffrey looks forward to gaining Nick as another brother. Nick’s kids, Estelle and Emerson, will be a flower girl and ring bearer at the wedding, and it has been super fun for Jeffrey to watch them grow up in the time that he has known them.
Katie Sattora
Bridesmaid
Katie and Natalie became instant best friends during volleyball pre-season at the University of New Hampshire – bonding over vending machine snacks and sore muscles. As best friends and teammates, they were attached at the hip during their freshman year of college and did a lot of growing up together. Their friendship is one that although they may go years without seeing each other, every time they are together, it's like not a day has passed. Katie is super nice, so easy to be around and instantly puts everyone in a great mood.
Jordan Eash
Groomsman
Jordan is Jeffrey’s older brother and the oldest of all nine of the Eash siblings. Growing up, Jordan and Jeffrey were always very close considering they were the oldest of the group. Jordan is an amazing person, and also one of the smartest people on the planet. His daughter, Violette, will be one of the flower girls and Jeffrey has loved watching Jordan grow into the awesome dad that he is.
Erika Elder
Bridesmaid
The start of Erika and Natalie’s friendship is funny because they worked together for months without talking very much. Long story short, their boss played friendship-matchmaker of sorts and encouraged them to go to a concert together. They are forever grateful because after that concert, they started to do everything together. Erika and Natalie’s adventurous spirits collided and they loved making spontaneous trips to the Oregon coast, lakes or anywhere else that sparked their interest. Erika is one of the sweetest, most genuine souls you will ever meet, and her spirit for living is infectious in the best way.
Alex Eash
Groomsman
Along with being Jeffrey’s younger brother, Alex is one of his closest friends. He always brings chill vibes and is ready for a good time. Sharing a love for the outdoors, Alex and Jeffrey always have fun together whether they are out on a hike at the Dunes or camping with the family at Mackinac Island.
Sydney Eash
Bridesmaid
Sydney is Jeffrey’s oldest sister and soon to be Natalie’s sister-in-law. She was one of the first siblings of Jeffrey’s that Natalie got to meet, and Natalie immediately loved her style. Now that Natalie has gotten to know Sydney better, she is so much more than a gorgeous girl with great fashion-sense. Sydney always brings the best vibes, has the sweetest personality and gives the best hugs. She is also incredibly creative and artistic, and Natalie is so excited to gain her as a sister.
Patrick Eash
Groomsman
Patrick is another one of Jeffrey’s younger brothers. Jeffrey has a lot of fond memories with Patrick, including teaching Patrick to drive a boat last summer. It has been awesome for Jeffrey to watch Patrick grow up into the man that he is. Patrick and Jeffrey can talk for hours on end, and Jeffrey is so happy to have him by his side as a groomsman.
Sammi Eash
Junior Bridesmaid
Sammi is not only Natalie’s future sister-in-law, but also the coolest 11-year-old girl Natalie has ever met. Sammi is smart, creative, funny and thoughtful. Her laugh is contagious and can always crack us up with her witty jokes. From the very beginning, she welcomed Natalie into the family with lots of hugs and made her feel right at home. Natalie couldn’t imagine not having her as a little sister now.
