Wedding Party

Lari Sidwell

Bride

Justin Greenwood

Groom

Sara Sidwell

Maid of Honor

Sara Anne Sidwell is Lari’s little sister. Sara was born November 8th 1994 and just days later joined the Sidwell family. One of the clearest memories from Lari’s childhood is standing over Sara in her car seat at the foster home where they went to pick her up and marveling at this new perfect little baby girl. At 4 years old, Lari was very much in love with her new little sister. She kept calling the baby Sara “Anna” instead of Sara Anne. She did eventually get it right. Sara sadly passed away in December of 2024. Sara has been named Maid of Honor in memorium.

Vanessa Hurtado

Best Woman

Vanessa is one of Justin's oldest friends. They became friends in their sophomore year in high school, through a mutual friend and gradually became very close in their tight-knit friend group, the Pack, each of which are still friends today and in the wedding party. Justin became really close to Vanessa's family, first through house sitting when they would go to softball tournaments and eventually going with them. Today, Justin is considered a member of the Hurtado family.

Katie Good

Bridesmaid

Katie has known Lari for 33 years and throughout that time has filled the role of loving and devoted big sister. Katie could even be blamed for Lari’s incredible obsession with horses and for encouraging a strong love for animals. They met as very small children shortly after Lari’s parents moved into a home down the street from Katie’s family. Lari spent nearly as much time in Katie’s home as her own. Dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, a goose, a tortoise, doves, horses, occasionally a goat, Katie’s family introduced Lari to a wide variety of animals, all of which she still loves today.

Philip Greenwood

Groomsman

Philip is Justin's brother. Because of their close age they were always together and had a very strong bond. They shared spaces, friends, and many memories, both wholesome and wild, memories that they love to reminisce on, as well as memories that their parents will never know about because of the Golden Rule; siblings don't snitch. But no matter what they have been through, they know that they will always have each other's backs, just as with anyone in the Pack.

Stefanie Visser

Bridesmaid

Stef and Lari met at girls’ camp the summer of 2007 and quickly became attached at the hip. When girls camp ended they said their tearful goodbyes with plans to keep in touch. However, they forgot to exchange the necessary information to do so. 4 years later, in the summer of 2011, fate brought them back together through a series of random circumstances (and a mutual love of horses) before living together as roommates and they’ve been soul bound ever since. Stef and Lari spent much of their time exploring the river bottom and the town on horseback. Stef is another woman whom Lari claims as a sister.

Greg Gilbert

Groomsman

Another one of Justin's oldest friends and part of the Pack, Greg was that annoying friend in the tight-knit group but his friends all knew that he was as steadfast as they come. Growing up they would watch WWE Raw and Smackdown, and occasionally would like to participate in their own wrestling matches that would only sometimes end with the odd injury.

Ana Greenwood

Ring Bearer

Ana Greenwood is Justin’s talented daughter, Lari’s beautiful friend and stepdaughter, and a wonderful big sister to Liam. When asked what she wanted to do in the wedding, Ana very enthusiastically replied that she wanted to be in charge of the rings. As the heart of this little family, she is the perfect person to bear the symbols of binding and devotion.

Lily Hurtado (Greenwood)

Ring Bearer

Lily is Vanessa’s daughter and Justin’s “adopted” daughter. Despite having no blood relation to Lily, Justin has been a devoted father figure from the moment he met her. She will be accompanying Ana in bearing our symbols of eternal love and devotion, further showing that family is a blessing built in many different ways. Just as Justin has been claimed as a member of the Hurtado Family, Justin and Lari claim Lily as a Greenwood.

Lauren (Sidwell) Kian

Memory Bearer

Lauren is Lari’s cousin and a major blessing in Lari’s life. She has been a nearly endless source of love and support (and on occasion, sanity) during the extremely daunting process of wedding planning. Lauren will be carrying Sara’s memorial bouquet down the aisle for the wedding ceremony.

Liam Greenwood

Bride’s Escort

Liam is the son of Lari and Justin and the adorable little brother of Ana. Liam will be accompanying Lari to be bound in love and in joy to Justin.

Lacy May Anderson

Wedding Coordinator

Lacy and Lari met September of 2017 at Disneyland through Katie. After a fun-filled day together, they bonded quickly over a mutual love of Disney, video games (one in particular), cats, and most importantly, a mutual love of Katie. Lacy has been a tremendous support and a steadfast friend ever since. Including stepping into a role in the wedding party, pretty much last minute. 😅 Lacy will be coordinating the wedding day, helping the wedding party see that the day runs smoothly, and answering any questions that guests may have.

Tony Fiveash

Officiant

Tony Fiveash is another one of Justin's closest friends. They met in high school when a mutual friend was telling jokes to a crowd of people. This mutual friend called Tony over to hear a particular joke that Justin no longer remembers but he remembers clearly the way it made Tony laugh so hard he practically fell over. Justin had a feeling that someone with such a great sense of humor, would probably be worth knowing, and he was very right. Tony began hanging out with the group more regularly and became a steadfast addition to the Pack. From the moment Justin and Lari knew they would one day marry, they knew that they wanted a close friend to Officiate. When the time came to decide who they would ask, they both felt strongly that Tony would be a perfect fit.
