Matt & Liana
Wedding Party
Matt Brown
Best Man
My best man. . . Since our days on the black top at Grand View Elementary he has remained a constant fixture in my life; being the first one to get his driver's license in our group of friends didn't hurt either! I love Matt so much that one time I went to visit him in SLO for the weekend and ended up staying for the week. What can I say, I hate goodbyes! We have made so many awesome memories throughout the years and if anyone has dirt on me, its this guy. He's been there for every pivotal moment in my life and its an honor to have him up there beside me on our special day. Things that Remind me of Matt: -Minnesota Sports Teams -Switchin' Lanes in the Woodgrain -Texas Hold 'Em
Daniel Sugarman
Groomsman
Dan is my younger brother who lives in Austin where he has continued to forge a career in the music industry. Playing music and doing what he loves has led him to explore the globe. This young man has created a business from his passion for the guitar and now shares his craft worldwide; crazy proud of this dude. Things that remind me of Daniel: -Epic Guitar Solos -"PackPack" (had difficulty pronouncing backpack when we were kids) -Tony Hawk Pro Skater -Austin, Massachusetts
Jake Luft
Groomsman
My cousin Jake is from the Big Apple and a great tour guide if you're ever in the area. With his outgoing personality and ability to chat with anyone its hard not to like the guy! We have always connected through sports except for the age old argument...I say "Play catch," and he says, "Lets have a catch." Either way, excited to have my cousin stand next to me on our big day on the BEST COAST Things that remind me of Jake -The Jets -Children with abnormally large heads -Garlic Knots
Matt Wilson
Groomsman
My brother-in-law to be. . . Matt once showed up at our house for a 6pm flight at 6am. He may not always pay attention to detail but this guy is always smiling and it's a blast being around him. Matt is one of the kindest gentlest people I know; he would give you the shoes off his feet, if he is ever wearing any. . . Things that make me think of Matt -Not knowing what to order on a menu (he always orders the best thing) -Sharing music -Beer Olympics
Luke Wilson
Groomsman
Luke is an all-around incredible guy who has welcomed me with open arms since day one playing bocce on the beach in Newport. He's a hard-working family man, absolutely hysterical, and I love that we are only a mile away now. I look forward to having him as my brother-in-law and all the memories we will create as a family here in Phoenix. Things that make me think of Luke -Wheeler Walker Jr. -The Green Flash -Yeti Products -Chili (not the country)
Mason Wilson
Groomsman
Mason is going to be my nephew and I couldn't be happier to call this knucklehead family. Mason isn't your stereotypical teen as he loves spending quality time with family and you can always count on him for a good "one liner" that gets the dinner table roaring. One of my earliest memories of MaseMan was our first Christmas together where Santa got him a drone. He was so excited to fly it that he opened up inside the house. Unfortunately its maiden voyage was right into the fire place. Needless to say, the gift was short-lived. Things that remind me of Mason -Fishing -Donuts -Reptile Dysfunction
Mike Davids
Groomsman
Mike and I met in middle school on the basketball court when I hacked him on his way to the basket. I thought it was ticky tack but if you ask him he was lucky to come away with all of his limbs. Mike's passion is art in all forms; from painting and photography to surfing and film. Things that remind me of Mike -Jimi Hendrix -Old Ford Trucks -Rummy -Frozen Cookies
Lauren Cranny
Matron of Honor
When I got engaged, there was no question of who would be my maid/matron of honor. She may be my cousin but this girl has also been my best friend before she even knew it. I have looked up to her since day one and have always admired her in so many ways. She loves her family more than anything and gets joy from others' happiness. We have been there for each other through all the ups and downs and I am so blessed to have her by my side on my big day as she means the world to me.
Kayla Moreau
Bridesmaid
Kayla & I have been friends for over 20 years. We met on the first day of third grade. She still recalls what I was wearing that day which just blows me away because I can't remember what I had for breakfast. I do, however, remember one thing from that year. We were playing on the playground in the sand and I lost my birthstone necklace. Kayla helped me dig through and look for it but we weren't able to find it. Later that week, Kayla gave me a box that had a similar necklace in it (wrong birthstone, but besides the point.haha) and I remember being so grateful to have a friend like that. Years later after high school hormones, breakups, living together with her crazy cat, and now adulthood I am still very very grateful to have a friend like that!
Kaley Bajer
Bridesmaid
Kaley has been one of my best friends since middle school. We would constantly pass notes in class and get in trouble for talking. I may have even got suspended for tripping her at one point (?) I wish I could say we have matured over the years but we still act like children most of the time which I hope continues until we're gray. This girl is an awesome mama and can reel in a yellowtail like nobody's business! I am so lucky to have her and her son, Aidyn, in my life...even when he prank calls me ;P
Melissa Post
Bridesmaid
Melissa and I first met when I was just 17 and started working at Billy's at the Beach in Newport. She always had a French twist in her hair and a big smile on her face! I always laughed watching her get in trouble from our boss for sneaking outside to flirt with the valet, who now is her husband. I love Melissa because she is genuine is never afraid to be her goofy self (and man is she ever).
Erin De Yager
Bridesmaid
This woman is the full package. I have so enjoyed watching her blessed life unfold. From living together at the "BELT", standing by her side on her special day, and watching her become an amazing mom; she is always there for a good laugh and to tell it how it is! I have always admired her strength and the unconditional love that she has for her family and friends.
Tracy Saunders
Bridesmaid
Oh Tracy Lynn...this girl, folks, is one of a kind to say the least. She is my good time girl and we love to dance the night away without a care in the world. She is someone who I feel I can tell anything to, without judgment, and is a great listener. This girl is loyal to her family and friends...as well as her karaoke song: "Redneck Woman." She is very special to me and I look forward to all of our random adventures to come! (and maybe a new song)
Steve Davis
Bridesman
Although it may not be traditional to have a male in your bridal party, I couldn't imagine not having this guy next to me on my special day. Steve has been one of my best friends for years and MAN do we have fun together! Whether its in the sand rail in Glamis, talking crap in our nascar pool, or him laughing at me from inside the boat as I ski from Maui to Lanai & back because I'm afraid to let go. Steve has such a big heart and would give you the shirt off his back (hope you like ski racing shirts). I am very lucky to have a friend like him!
Mischa Wilson
Bridesmaid
Mischa is my sister-in-law and has been married to my older brother, Luke, for 18 years. She has been a huge constant in my life and always been there through the good times and bad. I appreciate everything she does for our family and is such an incredible mom and wife. And if you haven't had her cooking...whew, you're missing out!! I am so cherishing our short distance now...plenty of lunch dates and pedicures to come, possibly some wild nights at The Rusty Spur ;)
Delaney Wilson
Bridesmaid
Laney girl made me an aunt 16 years ago and although she now towers over me I still remember her as a little peanut like it was yesterday. Now that we live around the corner it has been so much fun going to her volleyball games and watching her excel in all aspects of life! Her smile just lights up a room and I am very proud of her.
Jameson Cranny
Flower Girl
This little one seriously just melts my heart. Jameson is my cousin Lauren's daughter (M.O.H) and although I don't get to see her often we FaceTime almost daily. I have had so much fun watching her grow into the spunky little thing she is. I can't wait to watch her steal the show...
