Wedding Party

Kelsey Johnson

Bride

JD Armstrong

Groom

Lindsey Rauch

Matron of Honor

Lindsey and I have been best friends, or in other words, sisters since the second grade. We have shared years of adventures, vacations, and sleepovers together. Lindsey has been there for me through all the highs and lows of my life. She has the biggest heart and has inspired me to grow in so many ways. I am so blessed to call someone as amazing as her my best friend as well as my matron of honor.

Nick Armstrong

Best Man

My little bro, what more can I say. We've been tight since the day he was born. He's always been there for me and, after Kels and I met, for her too. His wisdom beyond his years and big heart, make him the best guy for the job and I'm honored to have him by my side when I say, "I do."

Mady Womack

Maid of Honor

One of the best things that came out of my freshman year of college was meeting Mady. What started out as being just roommates ended up turning into an amazing friendship. I am so grateful for the all the deep belly laughs we have shared together and for having someone I can turn to for support always. She has been a friend that I can rely on no matter what and I can't wait to have her stand by my side on my big day.

Quinn Huestis

Groomsman

Quinn's been my best friend since we first met years ago in first grade. We've grown up together, and experienced life's many growing pains. From playing on the same T-ball team, to navigating awkward middle school dances, to "running the streets" in high school and the craziness of moving to Missoula, Montana together for college, Quinn's been there for it all. These shared experiences has made us as close as brothers. I'm grateful to have such a solid guy in my party.

Taylor Johnson

Bridesmaid

Taylor is my baby sister and my best friend. She has been a light in my life since she was born and I am blessed for all the chapters of life that we have shared growing up together. Taylor has a heart of gold, a laugh that is contagious, and a kindness that is unmatchable. I am blessed to call someone as amazing as her my sister and I can't wait for her to be a part of such an important time in my life.

Tyler Gonzalez

Groomsman

I met Tyler in high school through our passion for running and we've been tight ever since. Tyler's got a great sense of humor and his loyalty and dependability have made him like a brother to me. We've had some pretty crazy moments already and I know he'll be there for the many more to come. I appreciate having him in my life and as one of my groomsman.

Ilatei Bellefeuille

Bridesmaid

I knew from the minute I first met Ilatei in one of my college classes that I wanted to be her friend. Ilatei radiates true kindness and love and I feel so incredibly lucky to call such a special person one of my closest friends. Throughout the years we have continued to grow even closer and we always make it a priority, despite being in a long distance friendship, to support and be there for each other. I couldn't imagine this day without her.

Lee Venable

Groomsman

Lee and I met in 5th grade, when he walked two houses down from his house to mine. Since then, we spent many weekends together from elementary to high school, BMX-ing, swimming, gaming or just causing general havoc. We've experienced great times and terrible times but he's been one of my best friends through it all and in my book that makes us brothers.

Kait Majeske

Bridesmaid

Kait is the person I can go to when I need a shoulder to cry on but also when I need a good genuine laugh. She is incredibly kind and overall has the best personality and sense of humor. She is all around such a special friend in my life. We met a few years ago when Tyler and JD introduced us to each-other and we are only continuing to grow this amazing friendship. I'm so blessed to have her in my life and to have her standing next to me on my wedding day.

Oaklee Paggen

Groomsman

Oaklee and I met on the cross country team in high school and instantly became friends. He's always been a guy I can count on to have my back and I appreciate how he's always adding laughter to our group. His loyalty and friendship have meant a lot to me over the years and our getting into and out of sticky situations together has made us as close as brothers. It's a privilege to have him as a groomsman.

Allison Pavidis

Bridesmaid

Allison has been such a special addition to my closest friends since I met her a few years ago. She has been an incredible friend to me in so many ways. She is so caring, she always knows just how to make me laugh and she's so good at paying attention to the little things in our friendship. She is always there when I need her and I know every time we're together that it's going to be a good time. I couldn't imagine this day without her!

Matt Rauch

Groomsman

Matt and I met through his wife and my lovely wife-to-be and after spending a summer working together in the Eastern Sierra Mountains we became great friends. I've enjoyed hiking, fishing and camping with him and he's a good go to for friendly advice. I'm honored to have him in my party.

Heather Larson

Bridesmaid

I met Heather the same time I met Mady- we were assigned to be roommates. Little did I know that I would be gaining yet another life-long friendship in that dorm room. Heather is the most hard-working, caring and funniest person I know. We clicked incredibly fast and spent our whole freshman year making each other laugh and supporting each other through the adversities of college life. Throughout the ups and downs of life, we have remained in connection and although we don't see each other often, whenever we do get together it always feels as though no time has passed.

Seth Jaksha

Groomsman

Seth and I met while I was attending college in Missoula, Montana. His big heart and generous hospitality helped Kels and I adjust to being 1,700 miles away from home. We became good friends and our many weekends spent watching Griz Basketball, playing 3 on 3 Butte football and drinking whiskey sours cemented that friendship.

Taylor Peiton

Bridesmaid

Taylor and I became best friends way back in middle school and thanks to our hubbies we reconnected. Since then, it feels as though no time has passed. We still have the same goofy sense of humor so anytime we get together it's full of laughter and good times. Taylor is so incredibly caring and genuine and I feel so lucky to have a friend like her in my life. I know that we will only continue to grow closer and I am so excited to experience my big day with her standing by my side.

Tanner Olsen

Groomsman

Tanner and I met in high school while running cross country. He was a few grades ahead of me and I learned a lot from him. We became friends through our many weekends spent at team dinners, running and hanging out around Murrieta. We've both grown up a lot since high school and having him as one of my groomsman reminds me of the good old days.

Vanessa Johnson

Mother of the Bride

Not only is she my mom, but she is also my best friend. Vanessa is the best mother any girl could ask for. She loves tremendously and is always there to pick me up when life gets me down. She pushes me to be the best woman I can be and she hands down gives THE best advice. I couldn't ask for a more caring and hard working role model. My wedding day is going to be that much more amazing because she will be there by my side through it all.

Brenda Armstrong

Mother of the Groom

Well what can I say.. she's my mom; she's raised me since the day I was born and been there for it all. She's loved and supported me every day of my life and I can't thank her enough for the lessons she's imparted on me as I've matured. She's always steered me in the right direction and was there for me even after I stubbornly wanted to learn the hard way. I'm incredibly appreciative of her and proud to call her mom.

Jeremy Johnson

Father of the Bride

My dad is all around such an amazing man. He has taught me what it means to work hard, dream big, and to laugh when all else fails.. He is always there to support and guide me through the challenges of adulting and when life gets too serious I can always count on him to make me smile with his dad-jokes. He has taught me what a great husband looks like and he will always be my hero.

Jim Armstrong

Father of the Groom

My dad is one tough man. Growing up I learned invaluable lesson after invaluable lesson from him. He taught me what it means to be a man; to have character, to put loved ones before yourself, to never back down from a challenge and that family always comes first. He's been a role model and inspiration to me and I'm proud to call him my dad and best friend.

James Schumacher

Officiant

James and I have known each other since elementary school and even though I may have offended him by telling him I didn't like the name James, (that's why I prefer JD) we've been good friends regardless. From competing with each other in middle school "running club" to launching a car club together in high school, James is one helluva guy and I've enjoyed hanging out with him. He's known Kelsey and I since we started dating and the numerous double dates we've been on together, with his lovely girlfriend, Ashton, has created long lasting friendships all around. We couldn't have a more solid guy officiating our wedding and we're honored he said yes.
