Wedding Party
Steve Rosendin
Best Man
AKA Steby. One of my first partners in crime. We've had each other's backs since building tree forts over on Pennock.
Kirsten Filyaw
Maid of Honor
My younger sister Kirsten, while not here in person, is still my best friend and my Maid of Honor in spirit and soul. I know she'll be with me on this day as she is every day. Thankfully, I am blessed with some fabulous friends and family who have agreed to be members of our wedding party.
Trygve Westergard
Groomsman
Trygelve. Older and uglier brother. He's been trying to teach me things since the day I was born.
Samantha Anderson
Bridesmaid
Friends since elementary school (once Sammy got over hating me) we have been through it all together and H-bear and Sammy are still palling around Ketchikan to this day.
Josh Schulz
Groomsman
Yoshem. One of my first friends after moving to town from Pennock. One of the original members of the neighborhood crew. Still hanging out every month up in Anchorage.
Nichole Miller
Bridesmaid
One of Holly's oldest and dearest friends. From all night Ninja Turtle gaming to road tripping to Nichole's new home in Wausau, WI, we have a lifetime of memories and I'm so thankful she's coming to share this day with us.
Aaron Chatham
Groomsman
Eat-a-bug. Third member of the Pennock Island boys. Been together and causing trouble since he was eating bugs in his diapers.
Aleisha Greenfield
Bridesmaid
My older sister, teammate and friend. What's there to say about the person who's known you the longest in your life?? I'm glad we didn't kill each other as children and that you're my sister. Love you Eugene!
Jesse Young
Groomsman
IBEW Brother who transplanted from Minnesota. As soon as we met we felt like we'd known each other our entire lives.
Gregory Moody
Bridesman
My brother-in-law being a really good sport and standing up with us in honor of Kirsten and we love him so much!
Carlos Weimer
Groomsman
Bunkle B. Another member of the town neighborhood crew. Played with and against him on the gridiron since we were little tykes.
Allison Hassel
Bridesmaid
Holly and Allison met while on Rotary Exchange in Raisio, Finland and stayed friends through the years. Now Holly's finally getting her to Alaska from Pennsylvania (and she promises she won't get eaten by a bear). :)
Claudius Mambrey
Groomsman
Claudi. Came over for a year on foreign exchange from Germany in high school and is now stuck as an adopted Pennock Island brother.
Dani Marcano
Bridesmaid
Dani is one of those people in life that you meet and know is going to be an instant friend. From when we met working at KPU Dani became an integral part of my friendship base and life.
Adam Minshall
Groomsman
Ogre. Started as friends in AAA baseball and through the years became brothers from another mother through good times and bad.
Emily Minshall
Bridesmaid
One of Holly's first friends when she moved to Ketchikan in the 4th grade. Emily decided early on that we were going to be friends and we have been ever since. :)
Matt Hamilton
Groomsman
Hammy Bone. Got beat up by him for 5 years on the wrestling mat and been pushing the envelope and making great experiences since.
Kristy Hamilton
Bridesmaid
Colleague, friend, family.
Riley Greenfield
Flower Man Duo
Our youngest and quirkiest nephew who was insistent on having this role for our wedding. We told him he can't strip and run for the water like he did at Aunt Gumby's wedding and he's made no promises. :)
Nate Hamilton
Flower Man Duo
Little Nater-Tot is one of our most treasured little ones and has the style and showmanship to partner up with Riley for the flower man duties. There may be some break dancing. :)
Lily Richards
Sword Maiden
Don't let the mean mug fool you. Lily is always filling our lives with smiles and laughter. Everything from playing softball or swimming at the beach with Aunt Holly to dropping off handmade birthday cards to or getting a whole baguette from Uncle Svenny after a dance performance. We love being a part of her life and couldn't imagine our day without her.
Kendall Hamilton
Sword Maiden
Our sweet K-Grace. This amazing young lady has had Sven wrapped around her little finger from the moment we met her. It's been a joy watching her grow up and one of our certainties was that if we ever got married Kendall would be a part of our day.
Jayden Greenfield
Ring Bearer/Uno Handler
Jayden is our sweet nephew with the big heart and never too old or too cool for a hug.
Uno
Best Dog
Our sweet, neurotic, handsome beagle boy. We can't have this day without him. He's the best companion we could ask for. Granted he'll probably be scared of a few dozen things on this day, but he'll be so excited we might get a Haarrroooo!
