Maid of Honor
My Natsy! Where do I even begin with this one... Nats has seen it all and is the definition of a loyal friend. When you need someone to talk to or a shoulder to cry on, she is always there. She will stop everything just to make sure you feel heard and loved. Nats and I got to know one another during our senior year of high school but our friendship grew deeper after our time at Oaks Christian high school. We have traveled the world together and lived in separate cities but thankfully during this wedding season she has been able to be right by my side. Currently she is living back in my childhood room and I wouldn’t want it any other way! I am so grateful for my friendship with her and cherish her constant love!
Bridesmaid
My sweet sweet Nicole! Nicole and I’s journey started at Calvary Community Church back in middle school. As time went on we spent our high school and college years a part but luckily reconnected through our boys - Conner & Luke. Since then, we have enjoyed many memories together from cooking, crafting, faith and now our babies! I so cherish my relationship with Nicole and all of the joys it has to offer! We are both looking forward to sharing our next chapter in life together.
Bridesmaid
Our forever roommate. Elowe and I first got to know one another in college at Baylor University. Little did she know, we would become the best of friends. It was Halloween night and as social as I am, I needed some plans… I met Elowe in our laundry room in our college dorm Halloween day and by night, I was knocking on her door! Since then, we have made countless memories together which have included dancing the night away, visiting her in Jamaica and living together…again! I am so grateful for my friendship with Elowe. She can challenge you to a dance party but never beat you in a wrestling match!
Bridesmaid
Everyone needs a friend like Shelly - she is spunky, adventurous and full of fun! Shelly and I first got to know one another in high school at Oaks Christian high school, but has grown even fuller since! Shelly is always up for an adventure, trying something new or a social event (especially if dressing in costume is involved). She will most likely be the first one on the dance floor and last one off… and the first one up in the morning!
Bridesmaid
My engaged buddy, jk pregnant friend, jk now new mom friends! Jen and I get to share the “bride and mom chapter” in our lives together and it couldn’t be more fun. Our husband’s brought us together and boy am I glad they did. Not only is Jen easy to talk to, she is the first to give her honest opinion which isn’t always easy to find in a friend.
Bridesmaid
My lizzcita! This gal is my longest childhood friend but our relationship really started in middle school at Hillcrest Christian School. Liz and I are the queen of reminiscing together. Everything from Carmellos after school to begging Holly for sleepovers, we could never get enough time together. There is never a shortage of laughter when we are with each other, but that laugher is also met with deep, meaningful conversations, and those are the moments I cherish the most. The week before I even told Liz about Conner, she later shared with me that she had prayed for someone like Conner to come into my life. God has been a part of our relationship from the very beginning and I could not be more thankful for her.
Bridesmaid
Anna stepped in to my life just a few years ago through my brother Brett (he definitely picked a winner)! Everything from creativity to mastering meals in the kitchen, this new mom can make the best Swedish pancakes. Lucky us, lucky kiddos! Anna is from Sweden where we recently got the privilege of visiting her beautiful and remote hometown. Her desire for travel and adventure allowed her to live in many different countries and just 10 minutes away. I am looking forward to raising our children together and hopefully learning her master baking skills!
Bridesmaid
The life of the party. This girl and I have so many many memories together! From Hume lake to Shaver lake, there isn’t a time when fun and adventure is not involved. Ashlyn and I first got to know one another at a young age through our parents. Since then, our relationship has grown on its own. Ashlyn always goes out of her way to make me feel special and loved. She is one of my longest childhood friends and I look forward to raising our kids together with similar lake memories like our own!
Bridesmaid
My adventure buddy. Even though we don’t see each other as often as we like, when we do it’s almost as if nothing has changed! Our relationship started back in high school and has continued to flourish ever since. We bond over many activities like traveling, snowboarding, exploring…. pretty much anything adventurous, Clancee is in! This will be the first wedding that Clancee is in so if you see a lost bridesmaid, please point her towards the dance floor ;)
Bridesmaid
A new sister! The girl I get to share last names with - what an honor. I never grew up with sisters but thankfully I am marrying into a family with an incredible one! Little did I know, Natalie and I grew up together with our parents friendship but now I have had the privilege of developing my own with her. I am so proud of this girl and her love for San Diego, cats and baking. Family is everything and I look forward to a lifetime of memories with her!
Best Man
The Alpha Dog. I chose Lucas as my best man because he is truly my best friend. Despite his insistence on moving farther and farther from home, we’ve been able to stay as close as we were in childhood. If you’re going to have anyone lead your wedding party, it should be someone who has out traveled the Dos Equis Man. Lucas means business when it comes to running the show and everyone else should be taking notes. Let the fun begin!
Best Man
If I had a beer for every year I’ve known Cory, I would need my stomach pumped. I’ve always been about half his height but that hasn’t kept us from seeing eye to eye on nearly all things in life. After growing up in the same neighborhood, Cory and I briefly went to college together before our careers took different paths. We seem to be crossing major life milestones at similar times (buying a house and getting married, to name a few) which has helped our relationship grow over time. Cory is truly like a brother to me and I’m grateful for our relationship.
Groomsman
The younger brother everyone wants. Parker is the quintessential younger brother that you see in the movies. No matter how much crap I shoveled his way, Parker’s confidence was unwavering. He never judged me for my mistakes and has taught me how to be loyal. As he heads off to medical school and starts his career, my respect for Parker will continue to grow. After so many years of sacrificing himself for the future, I’m excited for the younger Jadwin to celebrate in June
Groomsman
Nobody likes a quitter. Everyone needs a guy’s guy in their life and Doyle (don’t call him Chris) has filled that role exceptionally well. He might be a lifelong bachelor — by choice — but that doesn’t mean he can’t give good advice to a married man. Whether it’s doubling down in Vegas on a loss or looking out for me when life just wasn’t going my way, you won’t find someone as loyal as Doyle is. Chances are he will make a hole-in-one and not buy anyone drinks, but don’t let that hard shell fool you. Doyle is a loving guy who fills an irreplaceable role in my life.
Groomsman
The guy your mom always warned you about. Wade has always been living life on the edge. Sometimes he is misunderstood, but don’t let the alpha personality mislead you. He has arguable the world’s largest heart and will take a bullet for a friend. We’ve always had similar hobbies. Whether it was wrecking havoc in the neighborhood during our high school years, discovering what BP stands for in SB, or overspending on our hobbies, it’s always been a good time with Wade.
Groomsman
The irishman. Luke may have missed out on the red hair, but he certainly didn’t miss out on the tolerance for ice cold brews. Nearly every memory I have dating back to high school with Luke is somehow related to either drinking a cold one or being out on the water. It wasn’t until somewhat recently that we discovered how much more we have in common. There isn’t a mean bone in his body and he won’t miss an opportunity for a good time. He embodies everything you would hope for in a friend and it’s an honor to have such a genuine person in the wedding!
Groomsman
No challenge seems too large for Reid to take on and his open-minded spirit is something we can all learn from. You may find yourself struggling to keep up with the energy he brings at times. Whether it’s tearing up the wave behind the boat or spewing golf balls into the Sierras, get ready for a hell of time with Reid as he'll bring out the young spirit in us all come June 2020.
Groomsman
Sports, loyalty, and elite Tequila. Brett is the older brother I’ve never had and our connection dates back prior to Lindsay and I connecting. Brett has always had a passion for sports and the water which happen to be two of Conner’s favorite things. We grew up on the water together and as we aged, my appreciation for Brett’s fiery loyalty has only grown. In addition to teaching me how to be loyal to the right people, Brett has also taught me how to appreciate exceptional tequila. It’s an honor to have an older brother with as many interesting qualities as Brett!
Groomsman
He may be remembered more for his jokes than his good looks, but don’t let funny side fool you. When it comes to just about anything in life, there won’t be anyone more competitive than Chuck. Growing up, Chuck was the older cousin who taught me how to be competitive. As we’ve gotten older, we’ve managed to turn the competitive spirit into a healthy relationship that continues to grow with time.
Groomsman
No bad days. My relationship with Justin is the youngest of the groomsman but that doesn’t make him any less worthy of a spot in the wedding. Ever since my oldest cousin introduced Justin to the family, I can confidently say the entire family was pulling for Lauren to marry him. That’s a lot of pressure when you consider the sheer size of the family. He has never cracked under any amount of the pressure life brings and is always optimistic about the future. The future is brighter with Justin in my life.
