Maid of Honor
What's your favorite memory with Kate? Kate has always been my accountability partner and built-in best friend. We have so many memories together (and there are plenty of them I can't share, lol). But my favorite would have to be our sister trip to Nashville. It was the first "big girl" trip we took all on our own. On our first night there, we pretended to be agents of a record label (Kate led this charge, iykyk), and hung out with the bands. The next morning was definitely rough, but it's something we still laugh HARD about to this day!

What's your favorite memory with Kate? Kate and I have been inseparable since high school, when we bonded over keeping baseball stats and quickly realized we had found a lifelong friendship. Over the years, we’ve made so many incredible memories together, but one of my favorites has to be our weekly family dinners in college. Whether at her house or mine, there was always something happening that had us laughing until we cried. But if I had to pick the most Kate moment, it would be when she broke off her Mini Cooper key in the ignition and had to start the car with a pair of pliers—because only Kate could turn a minor disaster into a hilarious adventure. I’m so grateful for her, and I couldn’t have asked for a better best friend!
Best Man
What's your most "JB" memory? It took me a while to land on a story that’s actually appropriate to share, but here we go. The first time he brought me to his hometown, we got pulled over twice on the drive. Both times, the cops recognized him and let us go without a single question. That’s JB for you...somehow knows everyone, or they know him. He’s just one of those guys people don’t forget.

What JB moment really sums up who he is? I met JB 12 years ago, and right away, I could tell he was a good dude and the kind of guy you could count on. He’s the type who’d give you the shirt off his back without a second thought and help anyone who needed it, no questions asked. One memory that always sticks with me is from a few years ago when the whole College Station crew was coming to Portland. I had planned a duck hunt for everyone, and JB and I were working on my boat the day before because it had been giving me trouble. We thought we had it figured out, so the next day we went to test it out on the river. Of course, the boat gave out on us again. But JB, being JB, didn’t flinch. He spotted a random 2x4 on the shoreline, grabbed it, and helped me paddle that boat all the way back to the ramp. It was a ridiculous scene, frustrating and embarrassing on my end, but JB didn’t care at all. He was just glad we were spending time together.
Best Dood
The most dashing (and fluffiest) member of the wedding party, Whiskey is honored to serve as ringbearer on the big day. Though he’s full of energy and has a personality bigger than his fluffy curls, he’s also a little shy—unless you have butter, in which case, you’re his new best friend. Whether he’s zooming around the house, snuggling up for movie nights, or showering everyone he loves with endless kisses, he keeps life entertaining. He can’t wait to walk down the aisle and be part of such a special day—just don’t be surprised if he sneaks in a few extra kisses along the way!
