Wedding Party

Meet our friends and family who are walking down the isle and standing beside us as we say I do! #IDoCrew

Serena Kirk Budnick

Matron of Honor

Serena and Julie met when they both lived in Sacramento. Sisters to the core, Julie admires Serena's intellect, kindness, generous heart and all that she has learned over the years from her watching be an incredible mom. They never have enough time together and there are no 30 min. or less calls between these two!


Sara Straubel

Bridesmaid

Sara and Julie met in journalism classes at Ithaca College. They were the two girls who always raised their hands and had a point to make. Just under 20 years and 3,000 miles later, these two are still discussing everything from books to current events and finding new music to go see! Julie admires Sara's drive, strength and love for a dance party!

Bethany Monroe Gogo

Bridesmaid

Bethany and Julie met while working in TV news in Sacramento. Some of Julie's first and happiest moments include Bethany. They have driven up and down this state together, shared many glasses of wines, danced together at numerous shows and the list of fun goes on and on. Julie has become a part of Bethany's extended family and for that Julie is forever grateful.


Jenny Swanson

Bridesmaid

Julie has known Jenny her entire life. Julie is Jenny's aunt! Having spent a few summers with Jenny and her family in Sacramento (that's how Julie ended up in CA!), the two became very close. They aren't just niece and aunt, they are close friends. Julie loves Jenny's laugh, admires the strong woman and amazing mama she is.

Erin Rafalowski Jimerson

Bridesmaid

Erin and Julie both grew up in Steuben County and shared mutual friends. They really met at IC and became close friends. They share a love for food, wine, music and adventure. Julie loves the positive light Erin sees the world through and watching her become a new mama (even if it is 3,000 miles away). Erin helps Julie feel connected to her Western NY roots!


Jamie Dimas Broyles

Bridesmaid

Jamie and Julie met in a spin class Jamie taught. Julie liked her class so she let Jamie know. The two immediately connected and have been close friends ever since. They share a love for fitness, food and fun! Jamie is a bright light in Julie's SoCal life and Julie will forever admire Jamie's positivity and the strength she helps others find within themselves.
