Wedding Party
Alicia Gootherts
Bride
Basically a really calm golden retriever that likes to make people feel loved, go on long walks, and sometimes play catch.
Joey Hatch
Groom
Also basically a golden retriever, but the kind that likes to say hi to all the other dogs, go on fast walks, and jump on the bed.
Miriam Gootherts
Maid of Honor
Freaky Friday? Parent Trap? All I'm saying is make sure you look closely when the bride is walking down the aisle because it could be Miriam and Alicia pulling the ultimate stunt: twins switching places on their wedding day.
David Hatch
Best Man
The most overly confident yet still humble man I know. He knows what’s up, until someone proves him otherwise, then he really knows what’s up. He may not always be right, but Lord knows he’ll never be wrong.
Clare Beusch
Bridesmaid
Clare and Alicia have been roommates for three out of the four years they've known each other, from their college apartment to post-grad house, which they called "The Wardrobe". Clare has always been a sound source of reason and true, consistent friendship to Alicia.
Michael Hatch
Groomsman
This man will go out of the way for anyone. Whether it’s picking you up late at the airport or your car broke down, he’ll be there. I mean Michael would give you the shirt off his back...or maybe that one is just to take his shirt off.....
Audrey Ween
Bridesmaid
Alicia met Audrey four years ago when she moved into the college apartment for a year. She also joined "The Wardrobe" after graduating. Audrey brings adventure to Alicia's life and is even hiking the PCT the months leading up to the wedding! She loves to make jokes and play music you've never heard of before.
Jeremy Hatch
Groomsman
“He may look like like and idiot, and talk like an idiot, but don’t let him fool you...he really is an idiot”
Rachel Caldwell
Bridesmaid
Having met in a prayer group that discusses Catholic theology, Alicia and Rachel's friendship started out as deep as it can get. She is a very passionate and creative person. Rachel moved into "The Wardrobe" two years ago, and Alicia loves to hear Rachel sing with her guitar in the dining room. She's always playing some new Indie song!
Nathan Hatch
Groomsman
A man so holy we are all waiting for him to die, just so we can pray to St. Nathan for his great wisdom. It’s hard to go to bed with Nathan around because he’s just too damn interesting.
Monica Sevigny
Bridesmaid
Alicia and Monica met when she moved into "The Wardrobe" two years ago to finish school at UW. She is a quiet soul, a great listener, and very thoughtful in all that she says and does. She always offers great advice with a smile on her face. Also, she's infamous for her facial reactions when listening to a story!
Luke Lyford
Groomsman
While on his light jog through the Sahara, I heard he was bit by a king cobra. And after 3 days of excruciating pain...the cobra died. Sir Luke is the most loyal and dedicated man I know
Mary Van Hollebeke
Bridesmaid
Mary and Alicia also met at prayer group, at the same time as Rachel, five years ago. Mary was one of the original "Wardrobe" ladies, moving in with us two years ago. Her vibrant and inclusive personality immediately brightens the room! As a flight attendant, you never know what grand adventure she's going on next.
James Lyford
Groomsman
On a calm and clear night in the summer you can hear the mountains whisper “James,” over and over. So the story went till I pulled that rat out of the bushes and told him to get lost.
Anna Zawadzki
Bridesmaid
Anna and Alicia met in high school through mutual friends. While other friendships may have faded, Anna has stuck around. Anna loves to visit coffee shops and write on her blog. Alicia admires Anna's resilience to life's trials, maintaining a joyful spirit and supportive personality.
Tom Rochfort
Groomsman
The legendary Tom has never been seen for quite some time. He says he’s living a quiet life in Ireland but we all hear those stories of terrorist organizations being overthrown in the east and deep down....we know the truth about this great man, hand chiseled by God himself. Thank you Tom....Thank you
Eunice Cortez
Bridesmaid
Eight years ago, Eunice dropped Alicia's phone off a bleacher and they were BFFs ever since (more out of debt than anything). They may make fun of each other and recall each other's mistakes, but looking past their semi-abusive relationship, Eunice keeps Alicia grounded. Beneath the "macho fireball" masquerade, she's very sweet and cares deeply about her friends.
Peter Bucy
Groomsman
Never afraid to be himself, you’ll always get Peter, and thats great, because you’ll never want anything else
