Khali & Ryan
Wedding Party
Mitchell Davis
Best Man
Mitch and I first met in 5th grade at Uplands Elementary (aka "The U") and we became really close friends early in high school. Mitch's house was one of the prime hang out spots for our friend group in high school where we spent countless hours playing basketball and boating. Most memorably, Mitch and I were the last people out of our friends to get summer jobs, so we spent an entire summer almost exclusively playing Rock Band while the rest of our friends were at work. Although our paths diverged a little after high school, Mitch has remained one of my closest friends. I can always count on Mitch to pick up the phone and chat about the latest tragic event to befall the Blazers or Seahawks.
Jackie English
Maid of Honor
MY BFF/soul sister/maid of honor! Jackie is my other half, and the life of the party! We met at ASU in the same sorority and even lived together our senior year! For years Jackie was my plus one to many events, including holiday parties and a trip to France in 2019! Best friends always make the best plus ones! Jackie will most likely be the star of the dance floor on our wedding day and I plan to be right there with her!
Josh Bertoli
Groomsman
Josh and I met in college at Oregon State and played lacrosse there together for four years. Our junior year, we lived on the same street, "Lax Row." We definitely did a lot of studying that year with seven lacrosse teammates living two houses away from each other. Josh, the native Californian, stuck around in the Portland area after college and our friendship continued to grow. I can rest easy knowing that I'll always have at least one person to golf with, since I don't think Josh has ever turned down a round in his life.
Emalee Rabinovitch
Bridesmaid
It's no mistake I put Emalee's bio right next to Josh's because these two are dating! Ryan met them going to Oregon state and I am so glad he did because Emalee has become one of my closest friends. Emalee is a huge reason Ryan and I are together because she kept hyping him up at a party I went to before we were officially dating! She kept raving about how great of a guy he was, and had amazing things to say about him! Emalee is an amazing friend as well as one of the best charcuterie board makers I know out there (watch out Kate!). I am so excited to celebrate beside her!
Reid Burch
Groomsman
Even though I might not love his taste in sports teams, Reid has been one of my closest friends for over 10 years. We went to high school and part of college together. I love that Reid is always down to hit up a country concert or just have a chill night shooting some pool. I can't wait until we are old so I can call Dr. Burch with all my medical questions, which I'm sure he will answer in the most sarcastic way possible.
Lexie Forkner
Bridesmaid
Lexie is one of my sorority sisters from my time at ASU and one of the reasons I moved to Portland in 2019! Some of my favorite things about Lexie are her cooking/baking skills, love for reading and that she doesn't care if I blow up her texts while she's at work. I can always count on her to be there for me and so it's an obvious no-brainer that she is one of my bridesmaids. Lexie is also getting married this year and has been an amazing person to bounce ideas off of during the wedding planning process!
Mikey Gallagher
Groomsman
Everyone knows how much harder it can be to spend time with friends as we get older and busier in our day to day lives. That is one thing I know I'll never need to worry about with Mikey. He is always the first person to organize a boys trip, concert, or just a casual game night on a Saturday. Mikey also has some ridiculously good Mario Party skills and enjoys beating Khali and I at every chance he gets.
Kate Hearon
Bridesmaid
Kate is Ryan's sister and also the literal embodiment of sunshine! When I met Kate, I knew we'd immediately be friends and it was the easiest choice to ask her to be in my bridal party! Kate is the queen of making amazing cocktails (my fav - espresso martinis) and also making the most amazing charcuterie boards. I couldn't have asked for a better sister in law!
Roy Jarman
Groomsman
Roy and I were on the same team the first year I played lacrosse in 5th grade. Then we went to rival high schools and had several contentious match ups on the lacrosse field those four years. In college, we were back on the same team again and spent a ton of time off the field hanging out too. We were roommates for two years in college and two years after college before Khali and I moved in together. Roy always knows how to turn the party up a notch, a quality that has led to many late and unforgettable nights.
Allie Hartsworm
Bridesmaid
Allie is another one of my ASU sorority sisters and we even lived together after college! It's hard to sum up our friendship into a tiny bio but I'm going to try my best. She is the kind of friend who always shows up for you and for that I am super grateful. From preparing me for the chaos that is being a corgi mom, to teaching me how to change a car tire (and many other important life lessons) I can always count on her. Allie is an amazing friend, fellow corgi mother and entrepreneur! Ask her about OHM fitness, her latest business venture that is skyrocketing to success!
Adam Ruben
Groomsman
Adam never takes anything too seriously, he always brings some fun and silliness to any situation he is in. Some of my favorite memories with Adam are the trips to Sunriver to go to the mountain or watching him embarrass all of us on the golf course. I'm still holding onto some hope that some day Adam will help me fix my golf game, but until then I'll just keep enjoying cold drinks on the course with him while he shoots 30 strokes better than me.
Alycia Hanratty
Bridesmaid
You may be catching a trend here, but Alycia is another one of my sorority sister's from ASU! She let me stay with her the summer of 2019 when I came to visit Portland before moving here. I can always count on Alycia to be my hiking buddy or meet me for a drink at a new spot in Portland! I can't wait to celebrate with Alycia by my side this June - I know that she is going to be bringing the party at the reception.
