The Wedding Gang
Haley Maciel
Matron of Honor
Haley and I have had a friendship since 1999. I was the Maid of Honor in her wedding, and I am so blessed to have her be my Matron of Honor. Haley and I went from growing up in the church playing horses and going on our adventures with her dad to the "Castle of rocks" and the lonely tree house. We have lived together, worked together, and we went from being best friends, to her literally being a sister that I talk to about everything and anything on almost a daily basis. She is the Gus to my Shawn!
Wyatt Walshaw
Groomsman
Y-it and I have known each other since we were four years old and have been getting in trouble ever since. He knows too much, so we are forever friends. If our moms only knew. He now lives in Montana and is a federal fire-fighter!
Barbara Gibson
Bridesmaid
Bobbi and I started our friendship when we played soccer in Jr. High. I used to go over to her house almost every day and I also helped at her family's vineyard. She is someone that is absolutely fun to be around and can raise anyone's spirits! She is an adventurer that is hard to keep tabs on as she is constantly traveling and exploring new areas. She's a free bird and I am so thankful that she is able to be in my wedding. Two days after the wedding, she will be going back to Alaska to work the fishing season. She and her family have quickly become a part of my family.

Shalisha Moreno
Bridesmaid
My Biola Buddy! Shalisha and I worked together at Biola University in the bookstore. The same day we met, we went out to eat with my dad at Poke, and it was so weird how quickly we just clicked. You would have never known that we had only met three hours before lunch, as it just felt easy and natural. Shalisha was a huge help to me as I was experiencing a lot of health issues at Biola, and when COVID hit, I ended up going with Shalisha back to Colorado and staying with her and her family. It was such an amazing experience and I am so thankful for her and her family. Man did I learn I could eat a lot of tacos in Colorado. Sorry, Jose Juan!
Austin Woodyard
Groomsman
Austin and I have been friends since the third grade and he is one of the funniest people I know.

Noah is more behind the scenes kind of helper, and he is willing to walk down with his brother Judah. Noah gave me the title of Auntie, and what an amazing experience that has been. He is such a bright, smart young man, and I am so grateful to have him be in our wedding. He really is the best oldest brother!
Judah Harwell
Ring Bearer
Watch out for baby Judah! He loves his auntie, but he gets so excited when Oko (Evan) is around. He constantly moves and goes on adventures, so as long as someone has an eye on him, he won't be able to escape the festivities.
William Burkhart
Officiant
William is my dad, and has looked forward to marrying me off to a Christian man, pretty much since the day I was born. He always loved to say "I have cut the umbilical cord, helped pull your wisdom teeth, and will marry you off, not a lot of dads get to say that!" My dad has been a huge supporter of mine my whole life, and I constantly hear how my caring heart for the big outdoors and for adventure comes from both of my parents, but my love for nature comes from my dad. He's a teddy bear, that also gives the greatest hugs! I am really excited that he gets to be apart of our big day.
