Jen & Robert
Wedding Party
Jessica Hoeper
Maid of Honor
Jen's younger sister and the funniest person alive! No, seriously. Just wait til the wedding, you'll see. Jessica and Jen weren't always close. But when Jessica went away to Ellensburg for college and they no longer saw each other every day, things took a great turn! They now spend their time together watching nostalgic movies, slaying at karaoke and laughing so hard at each other it *usually* causes a scene. Just wait til the wedding, you'll see.
Chris Ma
Best Man
Chris and Robert have known eachother since high school, but really connected in college when they had law and justice classes together. From there Robert and Chris realized they had very similar taste in music, and they've been to quite a few shows since then. Whether its seeing Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Deftones, Walking Papers or going to meet Bush together outside their tour bus (that was so weird), Chris is always down for an adventure, even if it means we almost kill him at The Gorge. He's the most loyal of friends in that way, and to top it off he has a deadly-sneaky sense of humor that will catch you off guard mid-sip of beer.
Emily Glastra
Bridesmaid
One of Jen's very best friends from high school and the second funniest person on the planet, after Jessica. Emily and Jen spent almost every day together from sophomore year until senior year, usually listening to early 2000's rock music in Emily's Geo Prism (it was super nice. You opened the trunk with a wire hanger.) Now that they're in their 30's, they both drive nicer cars but still listen to the early 2000's rock bands.
Benj VanderGiessen
Groomsman
Benj and Robert have known eachother since the Kellogg Middle School days! Rode the catapult bus together and walked home from school on a regular basis. Benj moved to Ballard after coming home from Utah, and conveniently enough Robert had just taken a job that would have him close to the water, so the two started having drinks after work in the lounge at Louie's Cuisine of China. The rest is history - literally - go check it out, that place is an Amazon store now.
Bryant "BT" Cameron
Bridesman
BT is Jen's cousin and very close friend. They've been on many adventures together with Robert and Miguel, but have just as much fun dangling their feet at Hoy-Ka or sitting at home in PJ's. (Bed Heads, of course!) BT is a genuine foodie and always has an exciting itinerary up his sleeve! Seriously, if you're ever looking for an awesome restaurant recommendation -- no matter what city -- he's your guy! Fun Fact: BT, Miguel, Jen and Robert share the same anniversary!
Miguel Duque
Groomsman
Miguel and BT have been Jen and Robert's go-to travel and adventure buddies for the better part of a decade now. Miguel is the king of craft cocktails and we can't recall how many times he has generously met us at their beautiful front door with a delicious homemade beverage or sipping glass of tequila. Jen and Robert also share an anniversary with BT and Miguel and all have birthdays very close together, so there is always cause for celebration!
Ali Lee
Bridesmaid
Ali and Jen are cousins who have almost always lived far apart, but consider each other their "ride or die" girl! When they get together, it's like they're back sitting pool-side at Ali's childhood home and no time has passed. Jen recently had the pleasure of serving as a bridesmaid for Ali's wedding and the two have never had a stronger bond! Whether they're drinking champagne in Seattle or drinking champagne in LA, these two know how to crack themselves up and have the best time!
Richie Chen
Groomsman
Honk honk! Richie and Robert have been good friends since middle school. Over the years we've gotten into a lot of crazy stuff together; middle-of-the night Red Faction matches, knocking over toddlers on the Strip in Vegas, 5- lbs burrito challenges (NEVER AGAIN), many wild nights at the good old College Inn Pub, and more gyros than I can count. One thing that has remained constant is Richie's genuine good nature, generosity and never-fail ability to lighten the mood.
Cody Ross
Bridesman
Cody and Jen lived down the street from each other starting in middle school. Cody was inexplicably mean to Jen until sophomore year of high school when they were paired up for a class project. They pretty much became family in the following years and he is responsible for Jen and Robert being reintroduced after high school! (At Benj's 20th birthday party.)
