Wedding Party
Julia Gawel
Maid of Honor
Lily and Julia first met via Facebook group for incoming freshmen at the University of Alabama. While initially strangers meeting for the first time in Harris Hall, Lily and Jules quickly grew close. From countless Bama games, playing tourist in Boston, falling off of ski lifts, and exploring the Sedona desert, Lily couldn’t imagine anyone else as their maid of honor!
Jacob Omer
Best Man
Keenan and Jake first met when they worked in the same department at Vanguard. Yes, 40-50 calls a day talking to clients eventually turned into many conversations on what was fun outside of work, video games. After Jake left Phoenix for a short stint, Keenan and Jake shared memories virtually through their love of Apex Legends. After covid, Jake moved back to Phoenix where Keenan and Jake lived together from 2022 to 2024 (sometimes leading to bad days for Modelos). They have shared many memories over the last 10 years and look forward to celebrating Keenan and Lily's special day!
Rachel Kohls
Bridesmaid
Lily and Rachel first met in Harris Hall while waiting with other freshmen to walk to a welcome concert featuring Juicy J and Cash Cash. From there, they became roommates for the rest of college and history was written- exploring ze nature, going to midnight sushi, attending the Indy 500, and waiting in line for 12+ hours to see Twenty-One Pilots, just to name a few memories. Lily is so excited to have her former roomie standing by her side!
MacLean Sochor
Groomsman
MacLean has been enduring Keenan for his entire life and has had the pleasure of knowing Lily for the past 3 years. He works at McDonald's.
Maddy Kalady
Bridesmaid
Lily and Maddy are big and little from their sorority days in the Black Rose family. They bonded over a shared love for chicken nuggets which lead to weekly nug dates at the campus Wendy’s. From weekly sleepovers to a Nashville balloon festival and spring break in Fort Lauderdale, Lily can’t wait to have her little nug with her!
Harrison Sochor
Groomsman
Keenan and Harrison bonded at a young age when they cohabitated in the same room during their youth. They share a mutual love for Nintendo and Detroit sports, and despite the substantial height disparity between the two, they are still mistaken as twins by strangers to this day.
Amanda Thrift
Bridesmaid
Lily and Amanda first met during their time in their sorority, Sigma Delta Tau. Even though Amanda transferred schools, Lily and Amanda always remained close. From their early days attending formals together to trips back to Alabama and a memorable bachelorette getaway in Gulf Shores, Lily couldn’t be happier to have Amanda next to her!
Timothy Saeli
Groomsman
Keenan and Tim both studied Econ at ACC schools, so they naturally met as new hires at work out west. From traveling for concerts to working from home during the pandemic (with some trips to Boondocks in between) they have shared many memories together and look forward to celebrating together on this special day.
