Jenna & Mark
Wedding Party
Karina...aka WILLIS
Matron of Honor
My lovely little sister! We haven't always been the best of friends, as many siblings understand. However, once we didn't live in the same house together anymore, (karina wasn't able to steal my clothes or yell at my friends), we became a lot closer. Willis is my best friend and I'm so excited she is going to stand by my side on my big day!
Kelsey Meyer
Maid of Honor
Kelsey and I have known each other since we were in elementary school, but we became soul sisters in high school. Kelsey has been one of my best friends since then, and we have had many adventures in between. She has always been there for me, and I am so excited for her to fly back from New Zealand to be with Mark and I on our big day!
Kate Quinn
Bridesmaid
Kate and I have also known each other since elementary school. Kelsey, Kate and I have been partners in crime since high school, and we have all been extremely close in the years after. Kate is one of my best friends and I can't wait for her to be a part of the big day!
Amber Thompson
Bridesmaid
Amber has always been my sidekick since we were little. We grew up together in Alaska, really more as sisters than cousins. We did everything together growing up. To this day, we remain close. The bond of being family and cousins has never let up. I am so happy that she gets to be a part of our big day!
Lizzy Morgan
Bridesmaid
Lizzy is my cousin from Alaska and we have so many stories from growing up together. Liz is always so positive and so joyful to be around. She lights up a room and always makes everyone around her feel the positivity. Can't wait to join her on the dance floor....best dance moves ever!!!
Kendra Allen
Bridesmaid
I met Kendra on my first day of high school in Tillamook, OR. Ever since then we were pretty much inseparable. We both share a love for traveling and going on new adventures. Kendra has been there for me for a lot in my life and I'm so happy she will be a part of our day. Love you SBPP!
Manda Draper
Bridesmaid
I met Manda our first year of college, we were in the same dorm. Kendra, Emily, Manda and I quickly bonded and over the last eleven years our friendship has only grown. Manda has that spontaneous, adventurous, and loving personality. Even when we've gone awhile without seeing each other, we pick up right where we left off like no time has even passed.
Emily Jeremiah
Bridesmaid
I met Emily our first year of college at the University of Oregon. Go DUCKS! Emily, Manda, Kendra, and I have kept close over the last eleven years and are still best friends. Emily has that bubbly personality that draws everyone close to her. Love you Em, and can't wait for you to be standing with me!!
Claudia Meister
Bridesmaid
I met Claudia when we were both doing our Masters program in Fort Collins, CO. We quickly became best friends and made our two years of the program some of the best years. Claudia is back home in Ohio now, but she is one of those friends for life!
Ashley Benner
Bridesmaid
I met Ashley through Kelsey and the wonderful craigslist. I eventually became roommates with Ashley in Fort Collins, and we have had some fun times together. We grew very close and throughout the last few years Ashley has become one of my closest friends. She knew Mark from the beginning on our very first date and I'm so happy she has been along for the ride!
Jenna Waldvogel
Bridesmaid
I met Jenna when I was trying to find a room sublet before I left for Nepal. Once I came back from my adventure, Jenna and I became friends. I mean come on, we have the best name ever! We have found that we both share a love for hiking, adventuring, succulents, cooking, bluegrass, dirty chais or dirty Jennas as we like to call them and wine :) I am so happy that she is able to be a part of our day!
Ryan Hibdon
Best Man
I first met Ryan the day I came home from the hospital. I was greeted with a nice slap to the face. Things didn't change much growing up, what can I say...he's my brother. He has taught me a lot throughout the years, and I am so excited to have him stand by my side as my best man.
David Grant
Groomsman
David is the brother of the bride. Mark and David quickly bonded when Mark came up to Alaska for a few weeks one summer. They both enjoy craft beers, building things, fixing up old bikes, and being outdoors! We are excited that David is going to stand with us on our big day!
Jake Wyler
Groomsman
I've known Jake since he was a wee little lad. We grew up as next door neighbors but quickly became brothers. Growing up we spent all of our time together. You could never find us, we were always building tree forts, having shop time, hunting and fishing, riding dirt bikes, and playing around in the mud.
Evan Ferg
Groomsman
I became friends with Evan when he moved to Colorado from Wisconsin. We instantly became friends after we met. Our love of sarcasm and craft beers makes for a good time every time we hang out.
Mitch Benner
Groomsman
I've known Mitch since we met on my first date with Jenna. We can often be found fishing for bass at the pond, golfing, or goofing around with a football. Jenna and I are close with Mitch and his wife Ashley, and we are very excited for him to be a part of the big day!
Andy Hunt
Groomsman
Andy and I go way back. The first day of college we were both lost and bonded over being new to the college lifestyle. After that we hung out all the time. We were always wheeling in the mountains, hunting, or watching Jersey Shore....GTL.
