Lacey & Bradley
Wedding Party
Lesley (Beace) Smith
Maid of Honor
My boon companion of life. What can I say? From tricking my parents together to get more candy from potty training, to Barbie cakes and bonfires, to tecker parties and karate lessons, to current fitness BBR programs together- this is my sister. My oldest female friend. One who has ridden the highs and lows of life alongside me. She has taught me, challenged me, inspired me. There are things I know only she will understand because we are grown of the same family tree. you have such courage and love. Strength and softness. Fire and gentleness. Beace is always willing to learn, and has been my protector in many life situations. I love her to bits. I am so thankful to have a sister. And I love living life with her in it. Beautiful inside and out- my Sissy fry.
Tycee bo Bycee
Man of Honor
My Brother! My teacher! My friend! So much of who I am today is because of this man. Honored to know him, I learn just being in his presence. He has worn many hats for me in this lifetime, a leader, role model, encourager, teacher, challenger, but my favorite is friend. Who would I be without you brother? I am the Lacey that people know because of your influence and guidance. You have helped me navigate the most treacherous waters, and I will forever look up to you! Ham of all hams and lifetime student, so grateful to have you as my brother. Thanks for making life richer because you are in it! Love you so much!
Larissa Glover
Bridesmaid
If I had one person who helped mold my adult self, and who gave me permission to be me through her example of living life boldly on her terms- it’s this beautiful Larissa Glover. A fierce, fiery woman who taught me how to enjoy the process of living. Who laughed with me, prank called with me, lived mischievous moments, heart wrenching life living and learning moments, and explored lipstick and makeup and stepping into our own womanhood moments. The robin to my Batman- the friend I hope everyone has a chance to have in life. She is my sister not by blood, but from every other tie of love and gratitude life has to offer.
Emily
Bridesmaid
Emily is the type of person that you feel lucky to know. She is authentically herself and inspirationally comfortable in her own skin. She is always up for adventure and lives the life motto of love and be loved. Hard working, funny, and bold, to be around Emily is to be experiencing a beautiful life moment no matter what you are doing. She knows how to live and she has the courage to face life head-on and accept all challenges it throws her way. I become more courageous in her presence. It’s been a treat getting to know you Emily!
Karma-Rose
Bridesmaid
Every ounce of Karma-Rose lives up to her name. Wise beyond her years with a peaceful presence that comes from one who knows themselves. Karma is always willing to learn and grow and invests her time into becoming the best version of herself she can be. She inspires me and I know I can talk about any part of life with her and she understands and meets me where I am. She is the sage of my life. A beautiful soul. I have become a better person simply from watching her become a better person.
Beth
Bridesmaid
Beth is the salt of the earth. Beth came into my life at a very difficult moment when Her wisdom, empathy, grace and spirit gave me strength and light in the darkness. I am inspired by her creativity, by her love and gentleness, and by her giving spirit- all of which I have been on the receiving end. Beth has this amazing ability to make you feel more welcomed in your very own home! Creativity and talent seem to be of never ending supply to her spirit. She has been such a gift to my life and I am so thankful for her friendship.
Adam (Oodum)
Bridesman
How does one explain the deepest rooted friendship? I met Adam at such a transitional time in my life, barely able to drive myself around. Adams willingness to laugh, learn, and find joy in all the circumstances of life is contagious. The most loyal friend, in ALL of life’s adventures, from mischievous to religious. Adam and I have grown up together. He has been a staple to who I am, an extra comfort in life’s difficult moments, and a precious addition. I have learned how to take myself less seriously because of Adams willingness to experience life that way. Through all that life has brought us through, and all the experiences, Adam continues to have a gentle spirit and an innocence about him that is always inspiring.
Christo
Best Man
Christo has been the best brother a man could ever hope for. We’ve shared more adventures than I can remember starting from the time he became a mobile infant through the memories made in college and now onto our next greatest adventure...marrying the loves our lives and starting badass families. I admire Christo so freakin much. He is wicked smart, incredibly handsome, and the life of any party he graces his presence with....we’re basically twins separated by a mere 18 months which gave me a much needed head start. His long list of achievements was added to with planning a most excellent Bradchelor party (Thanks man, you da best). I am honored to call you My Best Man.
Paige
Groomswoman
Paige is legitimately one of the best people on planet Earth. Not only does she set a pace that her brothers do their best to keep up with, she also makes it look easy. Paige is one the most talented artists that you will ever come across (@PageByPaige_Granger) and has a thirst for life that drives in her in all of her many endeavors. She is fierce and committed having rode her bicycle across the US of A as well as a good chunk of Europe. We share our love of nature and animals. Paige you are such a humble kickass lady and I respect you tremendously.
Will
Groomsman
Will Doss is the coolest person that I know. He has the best parts of his 3 older siblings with a timeless perspective and such a powerful future. He has an imagination that rivals the greats of history which he is uniquely gifted to put onto paper. Every time we get together our competitive natures come out, whether it is a nerf battle to the last or a thought out chess match or an aggressive game of pong (he’s getting better and better...). Will has unlimited potential and is growing into quite a man of character. I am excited to see what he does with the next 15 years. Thanks for letting us get married at your home.
Jeffrey
Groomsman
Jeffrey is one of the guys I am most proud to have in my corner...as a matter of fact all of his friends feel that exact same way. He is my FRATernal twin and he has had my back since day one. In life you only find a handful of people that sync up with you on nearly all wavelengths and Jeff has been one of those key people for me. We pride ourselves on how we have taken on a lot of responsibility and had the most fun while doing so, including our Shasta trips, Recruiting for the fraternity, and pursuing free enterprise together are some of my highlights. I respect and look up to him greatly for the man he is.
Zach
Groomsman
Zach has been one of my best friends since that one time I convinced him to join a fraternity. He is one of those guys who’s loyalty I’ve never once questioned which is good because we’ve jumped out of multiple perfectly good airplanes (in the sky!), adventured around Corvallis for nearly half a decade, and became certified International All-Stars when we showed Canada what’s up. Zach has shown me what joy looks like every time I am around him and allowed me to see what peak joy looks like at his #VolcanoWedding. I am blessed to call him friend and excited for our adventures to come.
Jacob
Groomsman
Jacob is one of the guys I am most grateful to have in my life. As a sophomore transfer from Big Sky country I knew early on that this was a man that I could learn from and expand my mind with. He introduced me to books that shaped the last decade of my life and I attribute much of my willingness to look outside of the box to this man. We’ve ventured into business together on more than one occasion and adventured around Oregon countless times. I am truly grateful to have him in my life and am excited to see what is next for him.
KC
Groomsman
KC (aka KDot) has been one of my most rock steady friends for the past 15 years. In the process of coming out of my shell and embracing who I wanted to be during my early college days I learned confidence from this man. He always knew who he was which in turn gave myself and those around him permission to be unapologetically ourselves. KC is always up for a good time and my first call when looking to go have fun. We’ve road tripped to SoCal, house boated on Shasta, rafted the Deschutes and frolfed some of the coolest spots in Oregon. I am proud to call him friend.
