Audrey & Sean
Wedding Party
Jen Bigelow
Maid of Honor
Audrey and Jen have surely tormented each other over the years but Audrey couldn't imagine not having her sister as her Maid of Honor. Her original partner in crime, baseball buddy, and lifelong friend. They finally started getting along when Audrey was a Senior in Highschool and Jen was a Freshmen. That was a fun and ridiculous year that included them both playing on the varsity softball team with both of their parents as coaches. It also included so much snow that all of those softball games were snowed out and relocated except one, where it was snowing for the entire game. It's no wonder Audrey's not ever moving back! Jen met Audrey and Sean in San Francisco the day Sean proposed and it was super special that she was the first one Audrey got to tell in person!
Katie den Daas
Maid of Honor
Katie and Audrey affectionately refer to each other as Sister Cousins and have grown to be very close friends. Audrey made the mistake of inviting Sean and Katie on a work trip to Chicago thinking they wouldn't both say yes and when they both did, this power trio was born. Katie and Audrey have had the best time traveling together and visiting each other's respective coasts and getting to know each other's friends. Katie was a big help to Sean while he was planning the proposal and even went as far as ghosting Audrey for a bit as it got closer so she wouldn't ruin it. KdD is a rock in Audrey's life that she would be lost without. Thank goodness everything worked out fine on that Chicago trip!
Nate Kenyon
Best Man
Sean has known Nate for over 20 years. He came to San Luis Obispo from Lake Tahoe to attend college at Cal Poly. He was roommates with Kamil and they enjoyed doing all kinds of stuff together. After returning from studying abroad in Denmark, Nate moved across the street from Sean. He rented a room from Ricky, and living on the same street was great fun and made for some epic weekends. In 2011 Sean was honored when Nate asked him to be in his wedding. It has been so wonderful spending time with him over the last two decades, he is like a brother to Sean and he's very grateful for his friendship over all these years.
Marissa & David Ritter
Bridesmaid & Groomsman
Marissa and Audrey bonded over Starbucks and Banana Republic while Audrey worked at both places and Marissa was a loyal customer of both establishments. Since Audrey and Marissa have been friends since before Sean and David came into the picture, Sean and David were going to become friends whether they liked it or not. They've loved spending time with Marissa and David over birthdays and holidays as well as traveling together and we are so honored to have them both by our sides on our big day.
Marcy & Arly Maretti
Bridesmaid & Groomsman
Marcy is Sean's sister, she is absolutely awesome. They have always been close and share many of the same friendships and interests. She has always been someone Sean can count on. Even though Sean moved to the San Luis Obispo area first she moved to the area with their parents and graduated from Cal Poly. He's very glad she is local and getting together is always a good time. Arly is a great, caring, funny, and hard-working man and Sean is happy to call him brother. Audrey and Sean are very thankful for both of them and are excited to have them share this special day with them.
Jes Godsey
Bridesmaid
Growing up in South Lake Tahoe didn't connect these two best friends until Senior year thanks to a mutual friend and a few classes together. They both signed their intent to register for Cal Poly on the same day without knowing it and the rest was mostly history. From high school and college graduations, engagements, babies, nearly every St. Patrick's day since college, you name it, Jes and Audrey have always been there for each other and always will be.
Whitney & Tino LaGamba
Bridesmaid & Groomsman
Where would Sean and Audrey be without Whitney and Tino?? Whitney and Audrey became friends in 2003 at Cal Poly and Tino fit right in when they got together. Tino and Sean both knew they had to try to be friends for the sake of the girls and luckily that didn't take much convincing. They are forever grateful to these two for constantly housing us on many trips to SF, dinners at Kezar, countless shared beers, and Jake's Steaks shenanigans.
Scott & Tracy Gillson
Bridesmaid & Groomsman
Scott and Tracy deserve all the credit for Sean and Audrey getting together. Scott was quick to call his cousin out for taking so long to make a move and Tracy was Audrey's biggest cheerleader from the day they met. While Scott finished school in Chico, Audrey and Sean became Tracy's summer roommates in Campbell and we are forever indebted to these two as well for housing us in the bay too many times to count. They love going to games and spending time together whenever they can. Whether it's in the Bay or SLO and they love being part of the enormous tribe surrounding their adorable little girls!
Rick Kirkwood
Groomsman
Sean met Ricky when he became roommates with Kamil and Nate. The four of them had tons of fun together. Ricky's parents had a rental house in Shell Beach that became vacant and Ricky left the Grover Beach condo and moved next to Sean. He remembers coming home from work and surfing with Ricky all the time. They also had fun skating all over their Shell Beach neighborhood with Nate. Ricky is also a master of the grill and they enjoyed tons of cookouts on the weekends after fun days out on the beach. After graduating Cal Poly work took Ricky to Bakersfield for several years and then to Washington. Sean misses him and his adorable family every day. The time flies, but when they get together they just pick up where they left off and have one heck of a time doing it.
Kamil Baranowski
Groomsman
Kamil is such a great friend to Sean. They have had so much fun over the years and being a photographer extraordinaire he has tons of digital proof. Sean used to hang out at his place in Grover Beach, where Nate was one of his roomates, and when he sold that condo he ended up right next door to Sean, which was amazing. They enjoyed many a night on our beach-facing patio where Kamil flexed his skills on the BBQ. Living next door to one of your best friends has its perks. Kamil sparked Sean's interest in photography and is still constanly teaching him things to this day. Sean is more than grateful to call him a friend.
Carolyn Berg
Bridesmaid
Carolyn was the first person Audrey met when they moved to San Luis Obispo back in 2003. Their parents were in line next to each other on move-in day at Stenner Glen and these grumpy college kids were not interested in their newly formed friendship. It didn't take long for them to become friends since Carolyn and Jes lived on the same floor and they've been kickin' it in SLO together ever since! She also brought us Whitney and JWAC unit was formed (you had to be there). Carolyn is always down for an adventure and sometimes these two hang out more in other places than home but it's always easy picking up where they left off.
Kevin Lester
Groomsman
Sean met Kevin when he moved from Southern California to SLO in 2003. He is Sean's co-worker turned good friend and Sean is very glad that the job brought him to SLO. Kevin grew up on the East Coast and is an amazing skier, It is because of him Sean started going to the mountains more and became a better snowboarder. Kevin is an awesome travel buddy and they have had so many great travels over the years. In September 2009 Kevin and Sean went to Australia to visit Nate who was living there at the time, and they had such a blast! They dove the Great Barrier Reef together, camped out on Fraser Island as well as other great spots in Oz, that trip was epic! Kevin is always down for fun and Sean knows his life is better for him being in it.
Devin Porr
Officiant
Often referred to lovingly as their "Joey", Devin has been through it all with Sean and Audrey and will always have a designated room in any home of theirs. Devin is always game for an adventure with these two, holidays together, last-minute road trips, crazy ideas, and has maaayybeee been converted to an official Giants fan. If you are friends with Sean and Audrey, you know Devin. If anyone was going to bring the dirt to this ceremony as the officiant, it would be him!
