Matron of Honor
Toni and Brianna met almost 10 years ago at an outdoor fitness camp in Roseville, becoming fast friends thanks to a shared dislike of running and a penchant for making smart remarks at exactly the wrong time. A few obstacle races, dozens of girls' camping trips, and hundreds of laughs later -- not to mention quite a few Jager shots along the way -- and here we are.
Best Man
First his landlord, then his friend. From helping Kenny deal with the crushing low of the Kings/Lakers series in 2002, to being there for the ecstatic highs of the Putah Creek Lunker’s victorious runs in the Davis slow pitch softball league—and even keeping him humble with the occasional submission via jujitsu—Strommy has always been there. There is no better man to be at his side as Kenny takes the ultimate plunge…
Bridesmaid
Chelsea and Brianna used to write for the same blog (shoutout to Girls on the Grid!) and bonded over all things Sacramento. Though Chelsea moved from being just around the block to hours away, the happy hours have only increased... thanks, Zoom!
Groomsman
Hilarious, genius, and all around good guy, RJ’s attention to detail and organizational skills at all times leave Kenny in complete awe. Get a cocktail in him, and the scope of his obscure pop culture, music, and movie references have never been equaled. No one you would rather have roll for you or with you, Richard is just simply the man.
Bridesmaid
Heidi is the most patient person in the world, as evidenced by the fact that she has spent her entire life putting up with her big brother, Kenny Parker. Living in separate states makes her life a little easier, but she still made it out to California for an epic rafting trip in Lake Tahoe. She and Toni fearlessly navigated the "rapids" while the rest of us sipped cocktails, a bonding experience for which Brianna will always be grateful!
Groomsman
Smart, articulate, and funny. Filled with a biting sarcastic wit at one moment and soft as a teddy bear a few seconds later. His post moves in the paint are unmatched and his bourbon quaffing skills are the stuff of legend. Kenny is beyond lucky and grateful to call Jeff Adams his friend.
Bridesmaid
Megen is Kenny's eldest niece. Full of style and class— and just a little bit of sass—she has been waiting ever so patiently for her uncle to tie the knot. Brianna and Megen got off on the right foot, as the very first time they met they discovered a shared love of baking and quickly jumped into the kitchen to make some Halloween-themed cupcakes. Now that her uncle is making things official, Megen and Brianna have many more years of baking to look forward to!
Groomsman
The strong, silent type. He had to deal with Brianna growing up, which may explain much of it. Solid, capable, with roguish good looks… Matthew can throw a mean horseshoe and single-handedly win you a game of corn hole without spilling a drop of his beer. Kenny is lucky to have him as his future brother in-law on his wedding day.
Flower Girl
The middle child in her family, Madison is full of energy! She's a wonderful dancer and will be the absolute best flower girl. We can't wait to see her boogie her way down the aisle!
Ring Bearer
Christopher James, aka CJ, is the only person we'd trust with this important duty. When he's not learning to play chess (and kicking family members' butts along the way), he's honing his ring security skills. By the time the big day comes, he's going to be a pro—we know our rings are in good hands!
Officiant
It's Mark "The Phantom" Lowe, of Rise Guys fame! An avid Sacramento Kings fan back in the day (like, when they were good), Kenny had a huge man-crush on Mark before realizing that Brianna's family actually knew him. The first time Kenny went over to the Nathan home to meet the parents, the Lowe family was there too... and to be honest, meeting his idol might have been the most nerve-wracking part of the evening for Kenny. Luckily, Phantom lived up to the hype. A close family friend for nearly two decades, there's no one better to send us off on our marriage journey.
