Amanda & Luke
Wedding Party
Alexa Bender
Maid of Honor
Friends since middle school, we've shared the stage, dorms, and countless school dances together! Alexa has been there for me in so many life events and I am so grateful to have her share the role of Maid of Honor. Favorite memory: Being roommates at our Joffrey summer dance intensive <3
Dillon Vance
Best Man
Dillon is Luke's number 1 man. They met when they were 18 in a parkour class... and while Luke thought they would NEVER be friends, Luke hasn't been able to shake Dillon since. I've never met two people who share and borrow so many things....wisdom, clothing, money...underwear....Let's just say I am really looking forward to his Best Man speech <3
Lexi Kostic
Maid of Honor
We quickly became close friends in 7th grade trigonometry and all of our after school dance classes! She's had my back through high school and college, and I am so thankful she has my back on my wedding day as Maid of Honor with Alexa! Favorite memory: When we get together after not seeing each other for awhile (even if it was just a week) we can talk for hours and it is always such a lovely time <3
Yoshi Zittel
Best Man
Luke's forever brother and brother in Christ, Yoshi and Luke met in a parkour class when he was 18! I've seen the two of them laugh for over an hour on the ground of an In-n-Out parking lot. It was a sight to behold.
Jenna Schupp
Bridesmaid
My soon to be sister-in-Law! Thank you for your stamp of approval and for standing next to me on this day <3 Favorite memory: Spending time together at your mom's house, seeing how you interact with your brothers and take care of Juliet. I can't wait for all the memories to come!
Ethan Adams
Groomsman
My brother! <3 I've had such a good time watching Luke and Ethan get closer, whether that's boxing or making dinner for the family together; I think they make a good pair. Ethan and I have always been so close and it's been wonderful having him in my life during this wedding planning process. I love you brother.
Jessie Real
Bridesmaid
I met Jessie my freshman year of college and we later became teammates on our competitive hip hop team! After college she became the best roommate ever for 2 whole years. This girl is thoughtful, sweet, and always looking out for others <3 I couldn't imagine this process without you! Favorite memory: Attempting to be 'confrontational' together but we both end up just apologizing the whole time. The night jessie broke a wine glass and a few other things in a matter of an hour. When we thought it was raining but actually it was just the sound of the dish washer <3
David Schupp
Groomsman
David is Luke's Brother! I admire what an amazing father he is and I love that Luke can always call him for strong spiritual guidance. David so graciously allowed Luke propose on his birthday to throw me off his scent. Thank you for standing next to Luke on this important day :)
Ellen Kang
Bridesmaid
Ellen and I met my sophomore year at UCLA as teammates on our hip hop team! After college we were roommates for 2 years and it was the best two years of my life! Ellen always knows where to shop, where to eat, and how to throw and amazing event- she very much elevated my game and taste in things. She is so full of energy and I can never not have a good time when I am with her! Thank you for always reminding me how exciting things can be! Favorite memory: When she took Benadryl and then tried to drive us to San Diego. Late night conversations in 2019 crying about life and what we wanted to grow into. The story of the lost tampon hahaha. Love you girl.
Robert Bean
Groomsman
Luke grew up across the street from Robert! More than once...Robert housed Luke when he ran away from home as a child. Apparently there are many stories Robert and his family won't tell me until we are married, haha!
Karina Valdez
Bridesmaid
We met at UCLA dancing on the same hip hop team! Karina is the freaking life of the party. She is driven, thoughtful, and always great at putting things into perspective. My favorite memory with Karina was driving home from San Francisco, only to have to turn around and then drive through the night together. She's the best to problem solve with and when you need high energy to get a job done. Not to mention her dance moves are fire <3
Jacob Hinga
Groomsman
Luke's long time trampwall friend and front runner of our trampwall house, Luke and I have loved living and collaborating with him through the pandemic. Aside from being an amazing friend that we love to talk and laugh with, he has continued to encourage and support us as we navigate the social media world!
Araceli Green
Bridesmaid
I met Araceli when I was 23 at Pirates Dinner Adventure! She was my aerial captain and trained me for the show. Since then she has been an amazing friend to Luke and I. She constantly opens her home to us and we are grateful for the warm and caring friendship she offers. She even worked hard to throw me off Luke's trail when I thought he was going to propose- those secret little master minds <3 Favorite memories: All of her cooking, late night night movies and talks, going to Vegas together for Valentines weekend, and when she found a jar of peanut butter under my bed in her guest room!
Garret Myers
Groomsman
Oh man Garret S. Myer's... Luke and I had the pleasure of being roommates with him the last year and the spice Garret brings to life is unbeatable. There was a minute there where Luke and I were individually blowing up his phone with tiktok videos and I asked Luke if we were lame. I love watching Luke and Garret mess around filming tiktok videos and shooting the pellet gun in our front yard. Garret has been a great friend to us in the pandemic <3
Kendyl Schreiber
Bridesmaid
Way back when...our parents had a competition to see who could get pregnant fastest. I came in first place being born March 23rd and Kendyl followed with a close second on June 23rd. She is my God sister and we've known each other since day 1 <3 We've always been there for big life moments and it means so much to have her next to me. Favorite memory: All the childhood games we used to play and when Kendyl grabbed one of her birthday candles as a kid and spent the rest of her birthday a mess. I know that wasn't fun for you but it's a good story <3
Brandon Frey
Groomsman
Brandon and Luke met performing trampwall at Pirates Voyage in South Carolina and Tennessee! He lived with us briefly at the beginning of the pandemic and I know Luke is always looking forward to the next time they can train trampwall together. Can't wait to see him in May!
