Maid of Honor
Eliza is Kate's beautiful youngest sister and her constant rock. She helped Olivia plan the proposal and even flew out for the surprise on her birthday weekend. We love to text each other stupid movie quotes and sparkly Pinterest baking and decorating ideas. There's no one else I would search almost every Sephora in Manhattan for. I'm so excited to have her by my side!
Maid of Honor
Olivia's amazing older sister. When I told her that I was proposing to Kate, Carrie said, "It's about time! You need to lock that down!" I'm looking forward to having her with me when I marry Kate... and to dancing our asses off together during the after party!
Bridesman
Nate has been my best friend and the most supportive person in my life for the last decade. He got me drunk for the first time on a trip to Montreal in 2006, drove across the country with me when I moved to California in 2009, came to NYC for my wedding dress appointments in 2017, and has been a shoulder to cry on and made me laugh all the years in between. I'm so thankful to have him with me on such a big day.
Bridesman
Olivia's BGF (Best Guy Friend) and 1/4 of the Core Four. I met Daniel right before we started rehearsals for Jedi Training Academy at Disneyland in 2006. We've been through football seasons, playing softball, bible studies, surfing, zoo trips, ups, downs, and every place in between. He's been a huge blessing in my life. I can't imagine not having Daniel with me on one of the most important days of my life.
Bridesmaid
Danielle trained me on my first bartending job in NYC. I was supposed to stop in for an hour or two to shadow her and ended up staying much longer because we were having such a great time. We've basically been inseparable ever since! We share a love of the Backstreet Boys, watching football and supporting each other's hopes and dreams. I can't believe how lucky I am to have such a wonderful person in my life and wedding!
Bridesmaid
Olivia's friend and 1/4 of the Core Four. Jodi (AKA Sookie) is the sunshine of my half of the wedding party and not just because she's Hawaiian. She always makes me smile and brightens every room she enters. She's been with me from the very beginning of my relationship with Kate giving advice, support, and love. I'm completely honored to have her as a bridesmaid!
Flower Girl
Olivia's niece. Lily is a self-proclaimed professional flower girl. I love that she has a full and beautiful imagination. We'll probably find her mermaid watching in the harbor or reading every book in the library before the ceremony.
Flower Girl
Olivia's niece. I absolutely love Willow's free spirit and adventurous personality. I'm secretly hoping she does gymnastics down the aisle in her flower girl dress (or suit... it's undecided at this point).
Officiant
Olivia's friend and 1/4 of the Core Four. Some of my favorite Disneyland memories are with Jordan as my partner at Jedi. I can't wait to have him lead our ceremony! He's kind, funny, and has a laugh that gets me every time!
