Lauren & Brandon
Wedding Party
Brad Cisewski
Best Man
Flipped a coin for best man or videographer. Also, a great dog Dad to Goose, successful business owner & promises to come visit us more next year.
Kalen Statz
Maid of Honor
Sister to the bride, cousin-in-law/former roommate to the groom, wife to a groomsman and all-around best friend anyone could have. Get yourself a Kalen.
Connor Scheffler
Groomsman
Best friend since the 4th grade and commonly mistaken for Matthew McConaughey (alright alright alright). Most likely found working on his golf game down in Texas so he doesn't lose to me again (people don't forget).
Stefanie Valentino
Bridesmaid
We used to cry next to each other in high school chemistry but have come along way. Better memories include beer margaritas, 2 weeks in NYC, concerts, thrifting, and many, many late nights.
Jack McLoone
Groomsman
AKA Jackie Moon. I met Jack in college and he was one of the first to come visit me in Portland. Naturally, I convinced him to move too and we made some awesome memories with him and his wife Chelsey. Now he's busy being an amazing Dad to EJ Buckets and religiously following his college hoops team, the Marquette Golden Seagulls.
Lyndal Missler
Bridesmaid
Instagram Post - July 18, 2015 "lalalyndaland - We made a pact on 7.17.15 to include this photo at both of our weddings" "shaynalee_33 - What do you mean both of your weddings? Pretty sure there will only be one wedding and you'll both be the brides #wankemisslerwedding"
Cam Braatz
Groomsman
Cam is another childhood friend and we spent a lot of our time on the lake and ski hills. Now we trade trips between Denver and Portland snowboarding, hiking, camping, Coors Lighting or anything outdoors.
Shayna Van Den Boomen
Bridesmaid
Shayna and I met in college - we lived next door to each other in the dorms and had a lot of classes together as we both majored in Communication. We eventually moved in together and have become international travel buds and most importantly lifelong friends.
Andy Hagen
Groomsman
Another childhood friend that I was able to lure out to the West Coast. Former roommates, ski buddies and fishing partners for life. You'll most likely find us wading up a river with a fishing rod and beer in hand.
Shelby Hill
Bridesmaid
College pal and former roommate (x2!). She is a huge reason I went back to WWU after my first quarter. We've shared a house, a spring break in Mexico, more than a few adventures around Bellingham, and Covid.
Trevor Kinnett
Groomsman
TK and I grew up about 40 minutes apart in Wisconsin, but didn't meet until a few years ago where we (physically) ran into each other at a Badger Bar in Portland called HOME. A couple drunken "Ope, scuse me's", at exactly the same time, led to us being roommates and friends for life. We also have the same Birthday, but I won't say who's older.
Emmy Collins
Bridesmaid
Emmy is my West Coast Floridian Queen. I met her later in life but I feel like I've known her forever. Our friendship is fun, easy and comfortable, and she is my biggest cheerleader.
Ryan Statz
Groomsman
Cousin, former roommate, future in laws, and a great Dad / role model. Ryan and I grew up next door to each other, but didn't truly hit it off until our first beer run in Bellingham, WA for Laurens 21st. You might hear him say, "Should we have 1 more weakie?" ...proceed at your own risk.
Bri Taylor
Bridesmaid
Future sis-in-law! I am so lucky to be gaining not just a brother but another sister. Here's to decades more memories, trips, and holidays together.
