Wedding Party
KAYLA-ANN HEMMINGS
Bride
Ah what to say about this beautiful woman… She is my everything. I feel like people say that a lot, but this is the only way I can express all that she is to me. Kayla is the first thing I want to see in the morning and the last thing I want to see at night. She is my biggest advocate and possibly my best critic. She is my equal in everything life has to offer and the reason I strive to be a better man.I could go on all day, but the bottom line is that Kayla is more than I deserve and everything I could have asked for. She is my best friend in the world, and I plan on spending every day of the rest of my life trying to be the man that she can be proud to call her husband.
TREVER OJEDA
Groom
This man is my rock, my soul, and the love of my life. I couldn't imagine my life without him! I love you babe, to the moon and back. ~Kayla
ASHLYNNE GLASSMAN
Bridesmaid
Ashlynne and I met in 8th grade gym class and instantly became friends. From watching multiple baseball games together, to talking for countless hours after school, this girl has been in my life for it all. I’m lucky to call her my friend. ~Kayla
MARK ELY
Best Man
Mark and I met in the first grade and have shared many laughs and adventures over the years. Through our love of competition, blue flavored everything (yes blue), and childlike shenanigans we have become more like brothers than friends. I couldn’t be happier to have such an important person by my side on such an important day.
KATELYN FUHLMAN
Bridesmaid
Katelyn is one of my best friends! I've known Katelyn since the fourth grade and even though we are apart, we still manage to talk at least once a day. ~Kayla
STEVE ISAAK
Groomsman
Steve and I met during the latter half of our undergraduate degrees at Central Washington University (CWU) and through our academic struggles became fast friends. In the Emperor’s New Groove a prominent character, Kronk, has a little devil and an angel on each of his shoulders. On several occasions they attempt to convince Kronk what to do. Both during our time at CWU and since Steve played both of these roles for me and while they weren’t always the soundest words, they led to some fun experiences. What I am poorly trying to say is, Steve is a great friend and his encouragement has led to a lot of fun over the years. I couldn’t be more grateful that he has chosen to stand by my side on this momentous occasion.
JESSICA BAHR
Bridesmaid
This gem has been in my life since the 6th grade. She and I have been the best of friends from when we were adorable children to her becoming an amazing woman. She’s my twin sister from another family and I couldn’t ask for a better person to be in my life. ~Kayla
ERIC KELLER
Groomsman
Eric and I also met in the fifth grade and became friends over a strange common goal, stopping Mark from winning everything. However, as the years have gone by, we have become close friends through our own adventures over several courses in grade school. In recent years Eric has had some amazing adventures outside of the US that have given him the opportunity to help people in other countries. I couldn’t be prouder to call a man with his passion, determination, and resolve a friend.
JORDAN HYERS
Bridesmaid
I met this doll in sixth grade when we were talking about how scary our teachers were. She was so cute and sweet, I knew I had to be her friend. We have been friends ever since that day! ~Kayla
CODY HEMMINGS
Groomsman
For those of you that do not know I do not have any biological brothers. So, if you have ever heard me talk about my brothers, I am referring to two young men in particular, one of which is Cody. Cody, like the rest of my groomsmen is an interesting soul. Contrary to what he might say he has a brilliant mind, is incredibly creative, and can be an incredibly hard worker. He is also one of the funniest people I have ever met. During the six years that I have known him I cannot recall a single event or outing where he has not made my stomach hurt from laughter. I am grateful that he has welcomed me into his family with open arms and I look forward to sharing many more late nights playing games and laughing together.
YUN YANG
Bridesmaid
Yun is one of my oldest friends and I'm so excited to have her here on our big day! I love her to pieces and hope that even though we live in different places we can continue to be close!! ~Kayla
SHAWN BRANDT
Groomsman
The other young man that I often refer to as my brother is Shawn. A seemingly cool kid with a wicked sense of humor. I say seemingly cool because he is actually one of the biggest dorks you will ever meet, and we still love him anyway. All joking aside, Shawn really is a brilliant kid with a heart of gold. He is a driven student and a loyal brother. I don’t get to see him that often, but I do cherish the time we can spend together, even if it mostly consists of him screaming Yeet at the TV. Shawn has also welcomed into his family with open arms and I couldn’t be happier to call him my little brother. I look forward to seeing the man he will become, and all the games we will play along the way.
