Leslie & Ken
Wedding Party
Amanda Burlingham
Matron of Honor
Amanda and Leslie met in 2007 at Western Oregon University when they shared 3 classes in the same day. They have been best friends since then and have shared a lot of memories together in the past 15 years!
Ken Willett
Best Man
What more is there to say about this man other than this is the guy who shaped Buddas life. Ken, his father, was always a strong influence in how Budda went about his life and many if not all his choices were made to make his father proud. Ken was the first really boss that Budda had and he learned quickly that boss dad and father dad were very different people. Budda learned a real passion for taking care of both his employees and people in general from his father and this is often why during winter storms you can find Leslie sitting in the car as Budda pushes someone out of a ditch. Budda takes every opportunity possible to see his mother and father and hopes to spend a lot more of his life with them as they all grow old together.
Tanya Williams
Matron of Honor
Tanya (not Tonya) met when she started dating Leslie's older brother in February of 2013. Tanya has been an integral part of Leslie's life and has always believed that she would find "The One"!
Grant Smith
Best Man
Not sure what describes a lifelong friendship and brotherhood more than these two gentlemen. Ken and Grant met very early on in their lives as they grew up in the same hood. They were always a part of the neighborhood group who played ball and hung out every night. As they grew older it was obvious they would be brothers for life as both of them referred to others Mom as their own and both Moms accepted it without question. Still to this day they stay in contact all the time even if it is just Grant sending 20-50 tik toks a day.
Meghan Hill
Bridesmaid
Meghan and Leslie met in the fall of 2016 when they both started working at the Adidas Employee Store. They were fast friends, and always found time to laugh until they cried, every single shift, they worked together. MEGHAN!!!!!!!!
Jay Maisel
Groomsman
Ken and Jay are a dynamic duo who somehow are always getting themselves in trouble. Ken met Mr. Worldwide when he moved out to Oregon to take on a role with Adidas. Pitbull took a leap to move without his family and this led him to have to much free time to get Ken in all kinds of trouble. They often were found together on the golf courses around town or at Marathon tavern with a little more than a beer in them. Living in different states now they rely on the bond of Call of Duty to stay in contact!
Jarell Dinan
Bridesman
Jarell and Leslie met when she started at the Adidas Employee store in November of 2016. Her and Jarell would often carpool to work together, and stopping at Starbucks became part of their regular routine. Now that they live 3,000 miles from one another, they often keep in contact via text message and they both enjoy being in the HR field!
Cody Caddell
Groomsman
Ken and Cody met right in the start of their High school days. Cody, the new kid to public school came in a very shy kid and of course the nosey Ken got right in his business and the two quickly became great friends. Cody instantly made Ken feel like a part of his family when they made their way down to Columbus to see their beloved Crew play. On this trip Ken also go to meet so much of Cody's family and together they won awards at the family chill cook-off. Every trip back home to Ohio for Ken and Leslie somehow involves Cody and Rachel.
Sahil Patel
Bridesman
Sahil and Leslie met at the Adidas Employee Store in June of 2017. After becoming friends they spent time together in groups, but also when Ken moved to Pennsylvania, Sahil made the 3,000 mile journey with Leslie to ensure she made it safely.
Brett Kenneson
Groomsman
Ken and Brett met in Kens very first journey to a new home of Portland, Oregon. In Ken's first week in town he had yet to really make any friends...that was until Brett took the step and invited him out for drinks with the crew. Ken and Brett quickly bonded over just about everything they do from soccer to family. Brett was a mutual friend of both Ken and Leslie and is a major reason for their overall connection.
Michael Reardon
Groomsman
Michael and Ken met throughout middle school and high school but it wasn't until after graduation when they really became great friends. They have experienced many great times together even though some have resulted in Mike sleeping behind garages while Ken spends the night hunting his pal down. Mike has been in China a few years now but Ken and Mike have been able to chat a few times and stay connected.
Taylor Vaughn
Groomsman
Going into college Ken thought an alarm clock was going to a be a necessity to a successful journey but little did he know that he was going to become suite mates with the wonderful voice of Taylor-Vaughn! Ken and Taylor quickly became the best of pals where they bonded over everything sports and love of our families. Ken and Taylor did a ton together and became life long friends regardless of the distance between.
