Wedding Party

Stefanie Ryan

Bride

The first date we went on I took Stef sailing to the Mission Viejo Lake. I failed to mention that it was at a lake and she thought I was taking her out on the ocean. Apparently there is an implication when taking a girl out on the ocean for a first date. Thank goodness after telling everyone she knows that she was doing this she still came on the date. I can vividly remember her walking up to me in the parking lot of my complex in this beautiful summer dress and her aviators. Which she didn't take off once so I never saw her eyes the whole date. Little did we know that our lives would change for ever that day. The one thing I was most worried about was having enough to say. We had a great time and now I get to spend the rest of my life with my best friend and soul mate. I love you! Ooo Ooo

Jason Whittington

Groom

Well babecakes, my favorite person on this entire planet, the one who I get to wake up next to for the rest of time, and the person I want to spend every minute with. Jason is a talented human, with the ability to make a song out of anything, dance his way through every situation, and take care of me like no one else ever has. He’s my rock, my support, the biggest goof ball I know, and more than anything, he’s my soulmate. And I get to marry this gem of a human. Oooo oooo!!

Willow Osage

Maid of Honor

Willow and I were Tri Delta sisters in college at UCI. As part of the “Chosen” family, we were constantly spending time together. My senior year, we became neighbors in the sorority house and from there we became best of friends. From late nights doing homework and proofing each others papers, to hanging out in onesies, to being champion coaches for Delta Dodgeball. Willow became my person to go to for help and support in all the good times and the hard ones. I am so lucky to have her stand beside me on such a special day!

Brian Whittington

Best Man

I met Brian when he was born. At first it was a little tough. Being the oldest I now had to share my time with a cute little baby. How was I to compete with that. We grew up liking the complete opposite of everything. Besides our stunningly handsome looks there wasn't much that was alike between the two of us. As most siblings do they fight, make up and fight some more. When your so close with someone you pick up on what annoys them and exploit that. I was pretty good at it. But through all the years we have known each other he is one of my best friends. Even though he would steal my secret stash candy growing up. If I don't see him every week we at least talk to each other in some way or form. It is an honor to have him as my best man and best friend.

Torre Price

Bridesmaid

Torre “Pricecheck” and I have been at it since freshman year of high school. As part of the “dank” crew (no, not what you think...), we’ve been Spice girls for our world renowned “Spice World” reboot, slayed at Lacrosse, shredded the mountains in Aspen, Croated the hell out of Croatia during Yacht Week, and shamelessly congratulated the group for every year we made it without hubbys and babies all over our Facebooks. Sorry to ruin that ;). I’m beyond thrilled that even from Little Rock, Arkansas, she’ll still be able to stand by me on my wedding day!

Taylor Kliman

Groomsman

I met Taylor all the way back in high school. He was neighbor to one of my best friends and that's how we were introduced. I can still remember the moment I knew we were going to be good friends. A group of us went over to his house to hangout and play Mario Party (not MarioKart). We bonded over a competitive game of Mario Party and it was history. We played Mario Party many a times and started hanging out. Things we like to do: cooking romantic dinners in his grandparents backyard, days at the beach, talking music, asking life's biggest questions and jam sessions. Taylor always tells you what he's thinking and doesn't shy away from who he is or wants to be. He has been an encouraging person in my life and someone who isn't afraid to challenge me. I'm super pumped he's my friend.

Ashley Chipman

Bridesmaid

Ashley has been our adventure partner as we explore this place called the Pacific Northwest. Hiking buddy, #Water trivia partner, explorer, REI classmate, and all together best friend in this unfamiliar place. I'm so thrilled that she's a part of my life and so excited to have her stand with me on our wedding day! I promise to make sure there's Moscow Mules available and no onions, eggs, sugar, mushrooms, seafood, coffee, or any other yucky foods at the wedding.

Richard Annett

Groomsman

My buddy Richie who I met in high school. Back then a star offensive lineman who ate babies for breakfast. He is a tall athletic beast; who wouldn't what that as a friend. But naturally when you get to know him is a giant teddy bear. I have been to hell and back again with this man and I would do it again. Just the other day we were laughing because all the stupid stuff we used to do we probably should be dead. But was we have gotten older and wiser we have slowed down in life, probably for the best. He is an intelligent man who I have had the honor to grow and mature with. I can honestly say he has done more for my faith by challenging me and sparking thought provoking conversation then anyone in my life. He is a good man and brings life into anyone that gets to know him.

Kailey Sprague

Junior Bridesmaid

Kailey is a new addition to our growing family! She’s full of energy, positivity, and always has a giant smile on her face!

Michael Ryan

Groomsman

Bubba Sarks and I have been together for, what are you, 24 now!? Well, we’ve been kicking it since 1994 and while I always knew someday you’d be bigger than me, you really took that goal to heart and smashed that ceiling. Literally, because your head probably hits the ceiling. I’m excited to have you be a part of my big day and to stand by my side, since you’ve really always been there anyways. Love you bro!

Angelica Lewis

Bridesmaid

Patrick Mullen

Groomsman

When I first met Pat it was around a bonfire. He had just broken up with a long time girlfriend and brought all his old homework to burn. He shared with me all the stories about his tests and the doodles that he drew on them. It's a good thing we had our love for basketball in common. Fast forward a few years down the road we moved in together and one of the best decisions of my life. We got on each others cycles of dressing alike. He as been a great role model for me. He got married a few years ago and he has been able to pave the way especially in the ways of what not to do (but mostly what to do). I have always appreciated his friendship. He is someone that is always there to keep me in line when needed and provide support. He is a smart man and I am blessed to have him support me.

Chris Ryan

Officiant

Chris, otherwise known as "dad", has known me since my day of birth. It will be such an honor to have him stand up there with Jason & I to usher us into married life!
