Samantha & Austin
Wedding Party
Maddie Cruz
Bridesmaid
I've known Maddie for over 20 years now. We met in he 7th grade, became close friends in 10th and remained best friends since. She's always been the calmer of the two of us, the grounded realist to my overly excited (& slightly dramatic) optimism. She is one of the best people in my life and I've always known if I were to ever get married that she would be there.
Meagan Kilmer
Bridesmaid
I met Meagan in college and we've always bonded over our similar sense of humor, our fascination of the paranormal and our obsession with Halloween. I am so thankful I found this weird wonderful woman to be friends with and am grateful she will join me on this special day!
Andre Rathje
Groomsman
Andre and I met when he was only just a little babe. I have known him his whole life, as brothers tend to do. From living together out in LA, to camping and hiking together, or even crushing it at World of Warcraft, he’s a great guy to be around. I feel both lucky and honored to have such a caring and adventures younger brother by my side on this exciting day.
Tate Rathje
Groomsman
Similar to the situation with Andre, Tate and I go way back. Tate was actually the reason I ended up staying in Los Angeles in the first place. After a hiking adventure gone wrong, Tate offered to help find me a job and proposed we split a room to survive the rent gouging. The coffee flowed freely, late night gaming sessions were plentiful, parking was a nightmare, and working together helped keep our sanity inside the restaurant business. I couldn’t have asked for a more compassionate and kind older brother to have roomed with and fought the LA traffic together with.
