Jillian & Niklas
Wedding Party
Cathryn Gregory
Best Woman
Cathryn and I have always said there’s an invisible string that connects us, even before we met. We both went to the same college but somehow never crossed paths—until life brought us together on a small island in the middle of the Pacific. The moment we met, it was as if everything fell into place, and I felt complete. From countless memories exploring the island to now making new ones in her beautiful home in Colorado, our friendship has only deepened over the years. I can’t wait to see where the invisible string takes us next and continue creating memories together for many more years to come.
Jaycie Schenone
Best Woman
Jaycie is my college partner-in-crime, the one who helped me not just survive but totally thrive during those wild years. We spent hours broadcasting together, then took our adventures global—China, Thailand, Hawaii, California—the list goes on! She’s the one who taught me how to stay true to myself, and I’ll always be grateful for that. Jaycie loves harder than anyone I know, and her heart is as big as her sense of adventure. I’m beyond lucky to have her in my life, and honestly, I can’t imagine all the fun without her by my side!
Jessie Price
Best Woman
Jessie is one of those people you just can't help but admire—her grace, her sincerity, and her ridiculously bubbly personality make her impossible not to love. She’s always known exactly what she wants and never settles for less, and honestly, I’ve always been in awe of that. She’s got the most beautiful soul and a brilliant mind to match, and I feel like the luckiest person to have her in my corner. I can’t wait for all the fun adventures ahead!
Kailyn Villarreal
Best Woman
Kailyn and I have had a friendship that’s always felt like home, even though it began just a few weeks before I made the bold decision to move to Hawaii. She became my unofficial part-time resident there, visiting so often that we joked she might as well have had her own place! From helping me move between apartments to surprising me with staycations and always finding ways to make me feel special, she’s been a constant source of love and support. Now that I’m back in Oregon, I can’t wait to be closer to her again, sharing new adventures and making even more memories.
McKenna Alexander
Best Woman
McKenna and I have been friends for over 20 years, ever since we met at Camp Birchwood when we were just 7 years old. We spent our summers there for the next decade, and though we only had a month together each year, we packed those moments with laughter, adventures, and memories that would last a lifetime. That bond we formed as kids has only grown stronger with time, and I'm so grateful for the enduring friendship we've built, proving that distance and time are no match for the connection we share.
Stephanie Herrick
Best Woman
Stephanie, my big sister, has always been someone I've looked up to—her strength, kindness, and grace are qualities I've admired for as long as I can remember. Watching her become the incredible mom she is today to my beautiful niece and nephew has only deepened my admiration for her. As I prepare for one of the most important days of my life, my wedding, I feel so grateful to have her by my side, not just as my sister, but as a role model, a constant support, and someone I’ll always cherish. I can't wait to share this special day with her and continue making memories together.
Wen Na Robertson
Best Woman
Wen Na and I go way back to junior high at Evergreen, where she was one of my first true friends. Our bond was solidified when we performed Romeo and Juliet (lifeguard version) together, so it only feels right that we would reconnect years later on the stunning island of Oahu. When she trusted me and moved to Hawaii on a whim, we ended up living together for a few unforgettable months. She became the best roommate I could ever ask for, and we spent countless days exploring Hawaii, creating core memories that I’ll always treasure. I’m so grateful for our friendship and the adventures we shared—these moments will stay with me forever.
