Wedding Party
Megan Sanders
Bride
The blushing bride!
Lane Pledger
Groom
The dashing groom!
Lo Hogan
Maid of Honor
I knew beyond a doubt Lo and I were destined to be friends after seeing her freshman year dorm room decorated with succulents and surf signs. Lo is the first person I call when I need to laugh and has one of the most compassionate hearts in the world. Always attuned to the hearts and needs of those around her, I have learned so much about how to love people well from her life. Somewhere between freshman year and now, she became like a sister to me who loves me through all the ups and downs life holds. I am beyond blessed to have this beautiful, kind-hearted, genuine gal as my maid of honor; there is absolutely no one like you!
Logan Pledger
Best Man
Logan is Lane’s younger brother with a heart of gold. His gentle and kind heart makes him a friend to all and he consistently looks out for those he loves. Cross country runner, track & field and soccer star. He always gives it his all in whatever he puts his mind to. He is the absolute best brother…he just needs to stop breaking his older brother's records.
Charlotte Crotty
Matron of Honor
The aunt everyone wishes they had. My running buddy since middle school and a dear friend my mom and I share. Someone who will listen without judgment, plan trips of a lifetime and love you through the ups and downs of life. She gives the absolute best hugs and has the most infectious laugh. I have learned so much about how to love and serve others fiercely through your example. You inspire me every day to live life to the absolute fullest and I am honored that you will be by my side as my matron of honor.
Anthony Angello
Groomsman
Anthony never backs downs from a fight. A deep thinker who knows how to get to the heart of a matter. Careful if you challenge him to a jiu jitsu match. I have no doubt he will be a most successful future business owner. I have so much respect for both his heart and drive behind everything he does.
Cait Mueller
Bridesmaid
Cait is seriously fun bottled up and the best country dancer I know. From rodeos to lazy beach days, I am never bored when I’m with her. I will never forget countless summer days in quarantine thinking up the most random activities by her side. A steadfast friend who somehow manages to be the mom of every friend group but also the life of the party at the same time. She loves without expectation and I am so incredibly blessed by her friendship.
Ben Presley
Groomsman
Known for his curls and starbucks purchases, Ben is one of the most chill guys I know. But you better watch out, because he is not afraid to get a good table at California Pizza Kitchen. We lived next door to each other freshman year of college. From skateboarding behind a bike to the many spur of the moment adventures we have been on together, he’s always ready to send a trip at short notice.
Carly Gammel
Bridesmaid
Basically the coolest camp counselor and adventure partner out there. From prancing through meadows in Yosemite to endless Sally Loo coffee runs, some of my favorite memories made in college have been by her side. Thank you for reminding me to laugh and appreciate the beauty of everything around me. You encourage me to strive after not only adventure but also the Lord’s goodness; I am so thankful to have you by my side.
Connor Sexton
Groomsman
Connor is a man of many talents. Clarinet, basketball, soccer, rubix cube solving and master gamer. He does really cool engineer things as well. Just beware because he is an absolute beast at chess. Incredibly loyal, he always has your back. Forever thankful for his friendship and stellar sense of humor.
Claire Young
Bridesmaid
From preschool pigtails to awkward middle school dances to California road trips, this gal has been by my side through it all. You will not meet anyone with better fashion sense nor talent. She has an uncanny ability of making everyone feel welcomed and loved in whatever environment she steps into. You challenge and inspire me to chase my dreams and I could not be more thankful for our friendship.
Hayden Stacey
Groomsman
Hayden is an incredible artist and a great singer. A comedy king, you could give him a topic about anything and he’ll have you rolling on the ground laughing about it. Hayden confidently knows what he wants out of life. Kind hearted and always looking out for his friends. Make sure not to feed him avocados though.
Celine Lai
Bridesmaid
Celine is one of the smartest, most musically-talented, hilarious people I know. However, you would never know this due to how humble and generous she is. She is always volunteering her time and I swear she is constantly in ten places at once. I am forever in awe of her fierce work ethic coupled with generous spirit. She gives the absolute best advice and I can always count on her, no matter what.
Kobe Daludado
Groomsman
Kobe and Lane have known each other since 1st grade and have been ride or dies ever since. Kobe is both a master rock climber and superb photographer. He excels at pretty much everything he tries or does. We have a shared affinity for nature, and any trip with Kobe is full of adventure, fun, and joy.
Madie Eldreth
Bridesmaid
Lane’s sister and Megan’s dear friend. Madie’s curious spirit and zest for life is nothing short of inspiring. However, her heart for others is what consistently shines. She is someone who can make anyone feel loved and valued and I am so thankful to have someone like her to look up to. I’ve always wanted a sister, and I am over the moon that you will soon be mine.
Matthew Sanders
Groomsman
The oldest of Megan's brothers, an old soul who thinks deeply and loves others so well. Lane and Matthew were roomies in SLO for a couple months during quarantine, and it was a highlight of college having Matthew in the same town as us and our friends. A natural leader whose heart shines with humility but also strength. I so admire his strong work ethic and ability to pursue his dreams. An easy-going gem of a human whose life I am so thankful to be a part of.
Vanessa Jessurun
Bridesmaid
Vanessa holds more wisdom and love in her heart than most anyone I have met. An angel of a human who I know I can always count on, no matter what. She so confidently pursues God's will for her life, and loves everyone around her with so much grace. From navigating high school to figuring out this thing called adulting, I could not be happier that I get to do it alongside this gem of a friend. The most compassionate, caring, intelligent 4th grade teacher I know.
Will Barbato
Groomsman
My boy William is almost perfect. He just didn’t go to the right Cal Poly. He has a great problem solving mind. Ask him a question and he will get back to you the next day with a wise, thought out response. A man of many skills, he makes his own beers, is a rapping machine and knows how to make a mean tortellini. The kindest of men…until you challenge him to grapple.
Mason Sanders
Usher
Megan's second brother and the future CEO of the world. Mason came out of the crib ready to seize the day. A world changer who fearlessly follows his dreams. He is one of the hardest workers who knows not only how to set goals but also how to achieve them. However, for all of his accomplishments; he has the absolute sweetest heart. He simultaneously challenges and fiercely loves the people around him. I am beyond thankful he's my brother.
Marshall Sanders
Usher
The youngest of Megan's brothers, Marshall is the true definition of the words loving and empathetic. He is constantly looking beyond himself at other people's needs. We are convinced his heart is made of gold and overflows with joy. Someone who will hang out with you all day just to be there to support you; he may truly be the most caring human ever. However, don't let his sweet disposition fool you...he is an absolute beast on the basketball court.
Michelle Sanders
Mother of the Bride
My sweet mom whom I do not know what I'd do without. She taught me not only how to love others but also how to stand up for what I believe in. She carries herself with both strength and kindness and I am striving everyday to be more like her. Whenever I call her, she answers with so much joy and with a voice full of love. I have absolutely no idea how she has so much energy, but I so admire her zest for life. I can always count on her to advocate for me and remind me of how strong I am. I absolutely would not be who I am today without her in my life.
Mike Sanders
Father of the Bride
My wonderful dad who taught me so much about how to work hard and also how to always make time for the people I love. No matter what he is in the middle of, he always takes time to talk to me and let me know how much he cares. Growing up, he never failed to remind me of how loved I was and how much he trusted me. Because of his encouragement and knowing he'd be there to catch me if I fell, I felt confident making decisions and living life to the full. I do not know where we'd be without him, and I am so thankful for his influence in my life.
Liz Pledger
Mother of the Groom
Mother of 3 she mastered the art of juggling all the extracurriculars while her children were in school. Liz, through her actions, shows how we should serve one another with her kind heart and willingness to do anything. She is very good at making people feel comfortable and welcome in any situation. She always encouraged my siblings and me to go after what we wanted and was always happy to make a meal with her great cooking! She always made sure to remind our family how much she loved us.
Mark Pledger
Father of the Groom
Mark is very adventurous but practical. One of the most patient people I know, I have huge respect for what he does for work and the patience he has when dealing with customers. He is great on the grill and makes a really good smoked tri-tip. Mark is always Maddie's, Logan's and I number 1 fan as he never missed a sports, band, theater event, or performance. He is a great encourager and gives very thoughtful advice. Same as my mom, he always reminds our family how much he loves us.
