Maid of Honor
Taylor is my best mate! We became friends 9 years ago when we met working at Nordstrom. Thankfully we became friends quickly because I didn't last too long there.. 😂 Life has given us all sorts of curveballs and changes but our friendship has remained constant. Most of my best memories are with this one. I'm so incredibly thankful for her and feel very lucky to call her my Maid of Honor.

Stephen and I went to high school together and graduated in the same class. We didn't hang out too much in high school but reconnected at a Whitworth college house party when we were around 21. After the party we had a long conversation about how he thought I disliked him in high school. Once I convinced him I actually did not hate him, we became good friends and have been extremely close ever since! Stephen and I have shared so many fun memories and good times. I'm very thankful he will be a part of this special memory as well.
Bridesmaid
I met Jocelyn because she was my favorite yoga instructor at The Union where I take yoga classes. We ended up talking after class a few times and became friends. Our friendship came so easily and I just can't get over her funny, bubbly personality. She's the life of the party but also the friend to take time and listen to you if you have had a bad day (probably because she is a therapist). If you get a chance, please have a conversation with her, you won't regret it.
Best Man
Jordan and I first met as he was my assigned roommate freshman year at UM (shoutout Aberhood!). It became clear very quickly we would be great friends. Whether it was watching Superbad on repeat, binge watching every season of Entourage when we should've been studying for finals, or just hanging at the country store, we were constantly laughing. We've been through so much together and I'm so thankful we were paired up our freshman year!

Alex is easily one of the funniest dudes I've ever met in my life. Since we met freshman year on the football team at University of Montana it's been a constant stream of ridiculous antics and even more ridiculous banter. There is never a dull moment around this guy and his seemingly endless stream of witty comments always keeps the mood light. We can move from fart jokes into deep, philosophical conversations seamlessly and that's what I love about him. I'm thankful he's in my life.
Groomsman
Nash and I met through work. Once I was able to get past his weird, long hair and thick Serbian accent, it turned out we actually got along pretty well and I realized he's one of the nicest dudes I've ever met. Nash is a guy where a conversation between us isn't right unless it's at least a 1:1 ratio of serious comments to ridiculous jokes. Whether we are hooping at the local park, or going for a trail run with my pups Nash is always providing some comedic relief, which makes it a good time no matter what. Also, him and his wife Kelsey are legitimately the best hosts of all time. You'll be well fed and your glass will never be empty at their crib.

Jay and I grew up constantly competing, and he was a great older bro because he always kept me involved, even with his friend crew. If they were going to play hoops or football or wiffle ball in the backyard, whatever it was it didn't matter that I was way younger, he had me come along. He was also great because he did all the things to get grounded growing up, so by the time he was out of the house Trav and I looked like angels and we thank him for that. To this day the competition piece still exists when we get together. Whether it's ping pong tournaments in the basement or cornhole at the lake the competition never stops and I wouldn't want it any other way.

Travis was the brother that was always down for the adventurous stuff growing up. I remember one summer back when I was probably in elementary school, Travis and I would wake up every day and watch either a skateboard film or snowboard film, so during the summer we would go out and skate in cul-de-sac for hours and ollie over boards or wax the curb to grind on. Then during the winters we would build snow ramps off the deck and have jumps or rails at the bottom to launch off. Nowadays, activities are a little less risky but still a good time. Travis is always down to party when the family gets together and he will have the most impressive footwork on the dance floor, just you watch. I'm thankful to have him as an older bro.
