Groom
Matron of Honor & Mother of the Bride
Anyone that knows me knows how completely obvious of a choice it was to have my mom be my Matron of Honor! My mom is my absolute bestest friend, shoulder to cry on, constant supporter, cheerleader, favorite person on the planet and the one who has stood by my side, rooted me on and been through all of life's highs and lows with me. She is truly the strongest woman I know - everything I am, I owe to you & and there's no way I can say I do without you, Mom! I love you more than you'll ever know!
Mother of the Groom
As a mother of three boys she's always been an avid supporter of my goals and dreams. Not many moms would drop their kid off at Blizzcon to go explore their passion for games, but she definitely made it happen. She's always been the one keeping the party going and I'm sure it'll be no different at the wedding!
Father of the Bride
Although my Dad isn't physically here, I feel him with me in everything I do and I know how proud he would be to be the Father of the Bride. When I chose to attend UCSC I saw a picture of our banana slug mascot wearing a jersey with the number 33 and I think that was always a sign that my Dad was with me, proud of me and knew UCSC would change my life by connecting me to the love of my life. I love you more, Dad and i'm missing you extra on this very special day but I carry you with me, always.
Officiant & Father of the Groom
One of the hardest working Dads out there! He made sure that we had everything we needed along with all the baseball equipment we could want. There's no doubt that without his guidance I'd be a different man than the one I am today. I promise one day to pay him back for the wave runner...
Stepfather of the Bride
Truly the greatest stepdad around! James came into our lives and loved on my sisters and I when he definitely didn't have to. He's been such an important part of our family and I feel so lucky to call him my stepdad. He may not have given me life, but he has definitely made my life better. I love you, James and I feel so honored to have you walk me down the aisle.
Groomsman
The middle brother with an eye for film and media! There's no one with more knowledge/experience of actors, writing, and taking novel ideas from start to finish. Although he may judge our coffee choices, it's usually for the better.
Bridesmaid
My older sister, role model, protector and best friend! Jess is the older sister everyone needs and i'm so lucky she's mine. She's always been my secret keeper, my superhero and my built-in friend, even though she's always been way cooler than me, especially in High School. I love you, Jess and i'm so glad i've had you to go through life with!
Groomsman
The youngest and wildest of us. Dodged out of California for Portland and had wild adventures. Now back to run marathons while beating me at energy drinks and skittles. Mom may keep the party going but he'll be getting it started.
Bridesmaid
My best friend, twin and little sister! Jamie and I always got confused for one another growing up (and still do sometimes!) and it's truly the greatest compliment - she's my better half, for sure. She's my mirror and my opposite all at the same time. She's my best friend, confidant and the one that makes me laugh the hardest. And to top it off - she gave me the greatest gift of all, my niece Cali who is truly my entire world. I love you, Jay!

Flower Girl
The one who gave us our greatest titles, Auntie Jac & Uncle Robbie! Cali is our 3 1/2 year old niece and truly our favorite person on the planet! Cali, you have made our lives so much brighter and make us laugh until our bellies hurt! Whether we're eating popcorn at Disneyland, having dance parties in the living room or you're yelling at Uncle Robbie to stand up, sit down, dance, etc - you truly make our hearts melt and make our lives so, so much better. There is truly nothing better than being your Auntie and Uncle, Cali girl and we love you so, so much!
