Jessie & Bennett
Wedding Party
Brinnie Junker
Matron of Honor
Brinnie is Jessie's twin sister and best friend. To answer the most frequently asked questions, no we aren't identical, Jessie is 1 minute older, yes we used to look more alike, and sometimes we can read each others minds. Brinnie and her husband, Austin, live in Minnesota and Jessie is always wishing Seattle was a little closer. We are excited they will be bringing the youngest wedding guest, our niece, 3 month old sweet baby girl Riley.
Kenzie King
Bridesmaid
Kenzie is the groom's favorite sister. Kenzie is also a twin, so all the ladies in the wedding are twins. Jessie is really excited to have another sister since she always wanted one. Kenzie has been too far away in Houston, but is working to remedy that as she wanders the west living out of a van and as of March, hiking the Pacific Crest Trail from Mexico to Canada. Luckily, Leavenworth is not too far from the trail! We are jealous of her adventures and can't wait to live vicariously through her.
Gordon Coutret
Best Man
One of the groom's oldest friends, former roommates and all around good guy. We first became friends playing video games and staying up all night in high school, before progressing to evenings and afternoons relaxing in Adirondack chairs. There isn't a better person to be the Best Man.
Cooper King
Groomsman
Bennett's favorite (and only) brother. Cooper lives in Denver, coaches soccer, and is an excellent cook. Bennett may have accidentally broken a few of his bones growing up. Coop returned the favor with a tree house accident. We don't see each other as often as we'd like, but he always keeps us laughing and full of cooking ideas through #cookingwithcoop.
Aspen King
Ring Bearer
Known to some as "Maple, "April," "Maypril." "Aspy" to her Mom, and "Aspen Jane" when she's not listening, Aspen is our beloved dog. She loves laying on the couch looking out her window, stalking squirrels in Volunteer Park and "swimming" in the lakes around Washington. We couldn't imagine not having her be apart of our big day.
Olivia Willenborg
Flower Girl
Olivia is the sweetest 4 year old and a seasoned flower girl. She is the daughter of Jessie's cousin Tricia and Tony. She has been practicing and perfecting her role and we know she will do a wonderful job.
Nick Levin
Officiant
Nick grew up down the street from the groom. He was the voice of optimism as they drove an ill fated van into Mexico, and is always there for a meal, a place to crash, or an oiled up dance floor. He's also one of the first to know the couple as a couple. We can't think of a better person to see us into this next chapter.
