Bridesmaid
Anna and I have known each other since we were kids. We went to the same church, then ended up in the same choir class in high school, but never truly got close until years later, when she started dating my close friend and coworker, Lucas Bleuel. Anna's truly a gem of a human and is such an amazing mama to Avery (our flower girl!!) She is one of the most caring & thoughtful people that I know and has been such a huge part of my life for the better part of the past decade. She & Lucas are also the reason that we have Nita, whom we can't imagine our life without!
Bridesmaid
I truly hit the jackpot when gaining Laura as my sister-in-law. She has a way of making every single person in a room feel included, important, and completely at ease. I've honestly never heard her say one negative thing about anyone or anything. She's the biggest role model for me in just about every category, and is a phenomenal mother to young Miles, our dashing ring bearer. She's just an all around admirable human and I am so lucky to be able to call her my sister!
Bridesmaid
Allison is my oldest friend - the kind that you can not see for an entire year, but as soon as you sit down and start to chat, it's like no time has passed. Our fathers were friends for years before we were born, so we grew up together - from summer camps & sleepovers to first crushes, resulting heartbreaks, and everything in between. These days, she spends her time managing her floral design and event company, Allison Louise Designs. She's amazing!
Bridesmaid
Madeline Karam is the reason that Danny & I are together - She introduced us at Oenotri on February 15th, 2018. She and her husband, Dave live right around the corner from us with their dog, Boston. Madeline has a smile that will light up a room, she makes friends with each and every vendor at the farmer's market and knows all of the dog's names in the surrounding neighborhoods. She is the queen of game nights, and is actively attempting to bring Trivia Night to our local brew pub. Oh, and she is now officially a licensed real estate agent at Keller Williams in Napa. Watch out, Jordan!
Bridesmaid
I met Kenzie when I first started dating Danny. She's the kid sister of Will Kelley, and cousins to Nadine & Reid Kelley. Kenzie loves horses, her dog Pliny, and going to exercise classes. She never lets me sleep in on vacations. She's a blast & a half to be around and I'm so grateful that she is in my life. Although she is a licensed medical professional, for all minor injuries, including but not limited to scrapes / bruises, dehydration.. Please do NOT contact Mckenzie; She's off-duty this week.
Maid of Honor
It's not every day that you meet someone later in life that becomes one of the closest people to you. I never knew that when I met my future husband, I would also inevitably meet my best friend...Enter Nadine Kelley. We balance each other pretty well: She pushes me out of my comfort zone, keeps me from saying 'no' to every social occasion, and helps me with my tendency to overthink everything, while I try to keep us from taking any spontaneous trips to Vegas on a whim. (IYKYK) She's sassy and opinionated, funny as hell, and honestly seems to know me better than I know myself most of the time. She's a phenomenal photographer and owns a thriving business, is a loving wife and dog mom of two, and is basically my female soulmate.
Sister of the Bride
Jayce is my younger sister, and as such has put up with me for her entire life...God bless her. She's sweet, sensitive, and soft spoken; Basically my polar opposite, but in the best of ways. She's creative and artistic, funny without meaning to be, and is one of the most drawn-out story tellers that I know. Jayce has the biggest heart - She's the girl who literally couldn't hurt a fly. She has an abnormally aggressive cat named Samson, and has the cutest chubbiest baby boy, William, whom I love whole heartedly!
Best Man
Jimmy is my older brother and only sibling. I've known him pretty much ever since I was born. We played on the same golf team at Justin-Siena and Santa Clara. Jimmy was a childhood model but went down a different path and is now in commercial real estate. Jimmy is about as solid of a human being as you'll ever meet. I couldn't be more proud to call him my brother and have him as my Best Man. Jimmy and Laura's son Miles, my Godson and the cutest little dude on earth, will be the ring bearer for the wedding.
Groomsman
I've known Austin since we were about 10 years old growing up in Green Valley. I was the new kid on the block and he welcomed me with open arms. Austin and I battled it out on our high school golf team and have always pushed each other to be better, whether it be at golf or something as simple as Yahtzee. Austin has traveled the world and has a wealth of knowledge about a lot of random things. For example if you are ever wondering what the #1 export out of Tanzania is - Austin is your guy. Austin will be the one bringing it on the dance floor on wedding day.
Groomsman
Ryan is my oldest friend in the world. It wasn't until we became friends in high school that we realized we played on the same soccer team when we were about 6 years old in Benicia. He'll tell you he scored more goals than me that year but that's just simply not the case. Whether it be Capri Suns & childhood bunchball or IPAs & Giants baseball talk, Ryan and I have always hit it off. Let's make it a team effort to ensure Ryan has enough espresso martinis to get him through the wedding reception without napping.
Groomsman
Jordan and I grew up together in Green Valley. I was jealous of Jordan's already-existing relationship with Austin, so we didn't get along all that well at first. Things have really blossomed since then and look at us now! Jordan is a real estate agent for his dad's real estate company in Richmond. Jordan was a great athlete in high school and has become quite the golfer in recent years. Jordan is also an incredible cook and one hell of a friend. If there's someone who will Irish goodbye from the reception, it's Jordan. For any of your real estate needs, feel free to reach out to Jordan's father, Jack Burns.
Groomsman
Dave and I met when I was working at Silverado a few years back. At the time I thought Dave was about 42 years old and wasn't a big fan of mine, but one day we got beers after work and I found out he's younger than me and we have a bunch in common. Dave was there the night Jenna and I met, so he has truly been there since the very beginning of our relationship. Dave "arguably" has more knowledge of sports and music than anyone I know. If anyone ends up grabbing the mic to sing a song at the reception it will be Dave.
Groomsman
Reid was (self-admittedly) a bit of an introverted guy in high school, so we actually never really hung out too much back in those days, but boy have we come a long way since then! Jenna and Reid's wife Nadine have become very close in the last couple years and, in turn, he and I have become great friends as well. Reid is a hilarious guy that also has a side of him that is super caring. What a nice combination of traits to possess. I've talked with Reid countless times about his job and I still don't fully understand exactly what he does, but I know it's important and he's very good at it. Reid will most certainly be a fun guy to be around at the wedding.
Groomsman
William (formal) aka Will (less formal) aka Bill (a few beers in) -- what a special character this one is. You just never know which one you're going to get, and I don't think he does either, but I have a feeling we'll get a healthy dose of Bill on wedding day. Bill is one of those people that has no idea he's being funny, but when I think back to the times I have laughed the hardest in my entire life, a lot of them have come after Bill said something completely outrageous and out of left field. I had the pleasure of playing a few golf matches with Bill when he switched from baseball and made the Varsity golf team. We have really bonded ever since then. Bill and his better half Chloe have a child on the way that is due in May!
Groomsman
I've known Noah since high school but didn't really get close with him until the first time I received an invite up to the annual Oregon camping trip. You learn a lot about someone when you're out in the wilderness for several days together. Noah is a guy that is just easy to be around. There's never really been a time where I have hung out with Noah and didn't enjoy myself. And I've hung out with him... a lot. He's just a good-hearted and spirited person that I am very happy to call my friend. Noah sells insurance and likes anything and everything related to Italy.
Groomsman
Joseph was kind enough to have me over on numerous occasions in high school and we continued to hang out beyond that when we went to colleges that were very close to each other. Joe is one of the most generous people I know. He has invited me to countless Giants, Warriors, 49ers, and Sharks games over the years, and I have always appreciated him for that... but the biggest reason that I love Joe is because he's just a very real person. The guy shows passion in whatever he does and says and that is just hard to come by these days. Joseph works with his family, helping run a cute little mom and pop dried fruit business called Mariani Packing Company.
Groomsman
Chris was a three sport varsity athlete in high school. I believe we met at basketball tryouts freshman year when he was clearly a superior specimen than all of us out there. He is now a firefighter, a husband, and a father of two beautiful children. I look up to Chris in a lot of ways. He's basically just an All-American human being. I really have nothing to make fun of Chris for, hence the brevity of this paragraph.
Groomsman
Anthony and I met in high school and have been great friends ever since. Anthony lives down in Central CA now, so we don't see each other a ton anymore, but when we do see each other it's always good times filled with plenty of laughs. Anthony has an amazing memory and is always the one who can remember the most hilarious stories from high school. Anthony is a lawyer, I think, and just an overall very bright and funny guy. If you're ever seeking legal advice, contact Anthony's wife, female Jordan.
