Best Man
Brandon and I met early in our freshman year of college at Concordia Irvine. While attending the freshman orientation Angel’s game, we bumped into each other as we got off the buses to enter the stadium. Brandon said, “hey, nice shirt! I’m Brandon!" From that point on fate took the wheel and led the two of us down a long and winding road towards best-friend-dom. My favorite thing about Kaycee is how she has become such a wonderful non-anxious presence in Brandon’s life. She is a strong and enjoyable individual who has become a dependable and loving companion for my best friend. The tricycle is broken, but in the most beautiful way. Song you can't wait to hear at the wedding: At least 3 Carly Rae Jepsen songs; My wife and I have backup plans to see the Artemis Fowl movie, just in case.

Kayc & I met first year at Biola on Oct. 11, 2012. We showed up to our chem class wearing the same sweatshirt & I suggested we take a picture (attempt to make a friend). After that, we became best friends. In 2016 we finally got to be roommates. Let me tell you, it was a dream come true. She has been my rock ever since, constantly reminding me of who I am & always pointing me to Jesus. Braden is full of life and love. I've watched him bring out a whole new side of the Kayc. He is genuine in character and makes me laugh constantly. But what I love most about Braden is the way he loves Kaycee. He gets her in a way that no one else on this planet does. He puts her first, loves her without reservations, & the way he looks at her - it makes my heart melt every time I see it. Mr. Brightside

I met Braden in College (the one and only Concordia University Irvine). Sine then he has been 6-year long roomie & best friend My favorite things about Kaycee are the little beep she does when she’s falling asleep because Braden is making her watch Star Wars (lol); but actually that her sense of humor aligns with Braden's and how happy she makes him. Song I can't wait to hear at the wedding: Do I even need to say? The queen... Whitney Houston’s “I Wanna Dance with Somebody”

Kaycee and I have known each other for over 20 years. We’ve done a lot of life together. It was definitely a forced friendship in the beginning. I was friends with her brother all of elementary and we all carpooled to school together. She became the little sister I never had which then turned into becoming best friends. He loves Kayc incredibly well. Song I can't wait to hear at the wedding: UP TOWN FUNK Bruno Mars

I met Bradel in high school senior year. From there we began to develop a budding, beautiful friendship. My favorite thing about Kaycee is how as soon as I met her I immediately felt like I’ve known her my whole life. She is one of the most Incredibly sweet and sincere people I’ve ever met. Song I can't wait to hear at the wedding: Time of Our Lives- Pitbull FEAT. Ne-Yo

The ever so fateful day leading up to our last semester in college when we became part of the Señoritas and my life changed forever when KC went in and stole my heart. His ability to brighten every room he walks into and also his quirky deep love for the most random things 😂 Song I can't wait to hear at the wedding: Mr. Brightside, duh

I met Braden almost 4 years ago when I started working at Rockharbor. I remember him wearing a James Bay looking hat, Chelsea boots, and a coat of many colors. I quickly realized he wasn’t our worship pastor but I wouldn’t put it past him to intern in that department as well. We eventually became friends and here I am in the wedding party :) Kaycee really cares. She wants to listen, she gives you her attention, fights for you, and is authentic in her compassion. She even bought a “sensitive plant” that curls up when it gets moved to prove how much she cares for things! Song I can't wait to hear at the wedding: Yeah! (feat. Lil Jon & Ludacris) or anything by E-40 or T-Pain because Middle school bee bops are still the best!

Oh man, I have known Kaycee since our high school days. But I didn’t become close with her until college. At first she was my go to camping buddy, then we worked at Sonshine camping ministries over the summer together, followed by living in the Fiesta House with the señoritas. And now, I still get the privilege of living under the same roof as her for a bit longer. I love that you know when Braden is really passionate about something by the way he talks about it or the plethora of facts he knows about it. And, that there is no doubt in my mind about how much he loves Kaycee by the same criteria. Song I can't wait to hear at the wedding: Yeah!- Usher OR Mr. Brightside- The Killers

Braden was my intern turned friend for life. If I was Obi-Wan, he would be Anakin. BUT he never would have turned to the dark side and he would have been a mentor to all the younglings. Kaycee loves people well, she follows Jesus with her whole life, and reminds Braden that there is more to life than who wins "The Bachelor". Song I can't wait to hear at the wedding: SPACE JAM- Quad City DJs

We met at Biola & our first conversation revolved around her borrowing notes she missed & then I held her books as she hobbled on a post-surgery knee to class. While it may seem our relationship started out self-serving on Kaycee’s part, I can assure you our friendship has been full of mutual love & servitude Braden & I are going through a long-distance friendship, which is really hard on us, thank you for asking. My favorite thing about him digitally is that he posts really good/relatable content, my favorite being about chicken tendies. From the 72 hours we’ve known each other in person, the love & respect he has for Kaycee emulates out of him. Mostly chicken tendies takes the cake Anything Kanye but in the event that I find out the day it’s not about me, will settle for Yeah by Usher

Braden and I met at Rockharbor and became friends on a trip to Uganda and Israel/Palestine. My favorite thing about Kaycee is how much she loves people. She has a deeply empathetic heart and is not afraid to open it to those who need it most (like Braden 😉). Song I can't wait to hear at the wedding: Anything by Beyoncé

I first met Kaycee in kindergarten. I’ve known her since we were FIVE years old! Our friendship grew more and more as we got older, and I’m forever grateful to have her in my life as a faithful friend, supporter, and role model. When I first met Braden, it was obvious how much he loved, adored, and cared for Kaycee. My favorite quality about Braden is his ability to see, hear, and understand Kaycee’s heart, unlike anyone else. He is a kind, gentle, and faithful human being that I am fortunate to know. Also, he has really great instagram captions. ;) Song I can't wait to hear at the wedding: Hmm, maybe Shake It Off by Taylor Swift!

How do you know the groom? What’s your favorite thing about the bride? What song are you most excited to dance to at the wedding?
Bridesmaid
Surprisingly, a gradual bond grew while working together at Rockharbor. We got really close before I left the USA for about three months and picked things right back up. Following this, we yoga’d together, shopped until we dropped, split many fine foods and dranks over special conversations. I got her to shoot a wedding with me and we even travelled overseas together where sparks began to fly with said groom. So many things. For me personally it’s obviously his abrupt and unadulterated dance moves and our cringey inside jokes and words we like to say. Song I can't wait to hear at the wedding: Country Girl by Luke Bryan and I Like It by Cardi B. (Also for the groom). For me personally, I wouldn’t mind getting down to Chunky by Bruno Mars and Migos.

The groom is my new brother. My favorite thing about the bride is how much she cares about me. Song I can’t wait to hear at the wedding; “There He Go” - Schoolboy Q

I met Kaycee when we went on a missions trip to the Philippines together! I’m so thankful for her & I’ve been truly blessed by her friendship! My favorite thing about Braden is his statement pieces in his wardrobe. On the real though, Braden has a way of making people feel included, known & loved that is unmatched. Song I can't wait to hear at the wedding: Oh geez, give me some Yonce!

Kaycee and I are friends from college! We met through a mutual friend who lived on my hall freshman year. We lived in the Florita house together, spent lots of hours in the library writing ministry papers together, and grew in grace together. She’s the most gracious, thoughtful, creative, gentle, and fun human. My favorite thing about Braden is the way he loves Kaycee and modeled the way that Jesus pursues is in his pursuit of her. Also, he’s super fun. Song I can't wait to hear at the wedding: Low by Flo Rida
Bridesmaid
Kaycee, being the Enneagram 2 she is, offered to help me with a party I was hosting for our mutual friend G, and we have been friends ever since! My favorite thing about Braden is either his Arthur library card shirt or Disney (and every) trivia knowledge. Ha really though, I so appreciate the way Braden listens and loves others. He seems to never miss a beat in the lives of those he is close to. He weaves that into his relationship with Kaycee and it's the sweetest thing to see how well he loves her! Song I can't wait to hear at the wedding: 'Shut Up and Dance' by Walk the Moon is my favorite song to dance to at weddings, so hopefully it makes the cut!
