Wedding Party
Katrina
Maid of Honor
There are few people in this world I can sit and gab with quite so freely as I do with Katrina, or at such lengths! She has cried with me through grief and laughter alike; and our shared dark humor has allowed those moments to blend on more than one occasion. She is truly my ride or die best friend; the past 15 years have been a blast and I can’t wait to see how much weirder we get with age. -Andie
Heather
Bridesmaid
Heather is the embodiment of all things Eldest Daughter- in the best way possible. We’re different in so many ways, yet I often find myself trying to live up to her example. She's is so warm and kind, Heather is the sort of person that makes a house a home. She’s also cheekier than I think people would expect and cracks me up. I'm very lucky to have her with me through all of this; not just the wedding but all the other parts of life too. -Andie
Elizabeth
Bridesmaid
Elizabeth is the kind of person who is a big sister to everyone. She has always made me feel safe and free to be myself; Liz is the one who first got me into Kingdom Hearts and started my true nerd journey. She’s also an incredibly accomplished cook and baker, so much so that Jake and I have had “second thanksgiving” at her house right after another big tasty meal more than once. I'm so grateful she'll be there to help me on the big day! -Andie
Katherine
Bridesmaid
Katherine is my partner in family crime. We regularly speak in movie quotes and are often told to behave as we cackle in the face of whoever is trying to contain us. Anyone who knows me knows how much I love Halloween, and that’s all thanks to Kat. I think at least half of my personality is just copied from her. As a senior class sister when I was a freshmen, our high school planned for her to pie me in the face during an assembly. She found me prior so we could ditch and get ice cream instead. Queen Behavior. -Andie
Ansel
Groomsman
I first met Ansel at the Oregon State student dorms in 2010, and we immediately connected over our love of all things football. His kindness and humor are infectious, and I could tell as soon as I met him that we would be fast friends. Little did I know he and I would end up being lifelong friends, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Now, 15 years later, it was an easy choice to have Ansel on my team on the wedding day! The adventures we shared in college are some of my most cherished memories, and I can’t wait to keep experiencing life with Ansel by my side. -Jake
Sam
Groomswoman
Sam is an awesome sister and friend. She is intelligent, driven, and has a heart big enough to help anyone she meets. I’ve learned so much from her, both in how she tackles challenges with fiery enthusiasm, and her talents as a dog trainer to her beloved pets! It's easy to get lost in conversation with Sam, spending hours discussing whatever strategy game or piece of media has caught our interest. I am truly lucky to be her brother, and the older I get the more I appreciate how similar we are in our mannerisms and passions. I can’t imagine getting married without Sam by my side! -Jake
Cannon
Best Man
When I think about my relationship with Cannon, I often remember how many times I used to miss the Corvallis exit driving Cannon home from a gaming session because we were so lost in conversation. Cannon’s passion and intelligence make it easy to lose track of space and time during a discussion, and his humor and kindness make you keep coming back for more. I am so grateful to have a brother like Cannon, constantly challenging me and supporting me when times are good or bad. I don’t think I could ask for a better Best Man, and I can’t wait to have him by my side on the big day! -Jake
