Malia & Tyler
Wedding Party
Madisen
Maid of Honor
My little sister and my best friend. I consider myself lucky to have someone like her as a member of my family. Her confidence and drive motivate me daily to be the best I can be. She is my rock and my other half and I can't wait to have her by my side on my wedding day.
Brennan
Best Man
Brennan's technically my brother, although you wouldn't know that by looking at us. I've been told he's a decent drummer and that he even has a natural talent for painting obscure gothic imagery. Despite our differences in fashion sense, athletic ability, and morality I've known him the longest out of anyone in our wedding party and because of that, he'll have to do as my best man.
Brenna
Bridesmaid
Brenna and I first got close when we became college roommates and we've been inseparable ever since. She is truly one of the kindest and most selfless humans I know and she has shown that continuously throughout our friendship. She is the definition of a true friend and I couldn't imagine my wedding day without her!
Tanner
Candle Lighter
Candle Lighter? Hardly knew her. Tanner is arguably the most intellectual friend in our wedding party. He's the only one who wears glasses that seems like he actually needs them to see. Although his sense of humor consists almost entirely of blurting out recycled one-liners, he has a surprising knack for golf and that's at least somewhat respectable.
Rebecca
Bridesmaid
Rebecca and I both met during our second year on our high school cheerleading team. We immediately clicked through a shared love of laughter and good conversation and since then, nothing has changed! Rebecca has always been such a loving, supportive, caring friend to me & I continue to cherish our friendship every day.
Tino
Not Best Man
Tino claims that his nickname in high school was "Kelp" because of how smooth he was with the ladies, but we're pretty sure it's because he's slimy, green, and overall unpleasant to be around.
Tess
Bridesmaid
I first met Tess through a mutual friend and spent a significant amount of time traveling the world with her. We immediately became so close that it was obvious we would remain life long friends. Tess is a beautiful, hilarious, fun-loving, and adventurous soul. I can always count on her to be my companion on any adventure and I of course need her by my side for this one!
Niko
Guest
Niko knows more about the Dodgers than just about anyone. The Dodgers and Ska music. Both are equally irrelevant to most people and both involve a culture in which wildly swinging your limbs is considered a good thing. Unlike Tanner, we're not convinced Niko actually needs his glasses to see. Regardless, he's a responsible adult and his recent engagement didn't overshadow mine as much as I thought it would.
Bridget
Bridesmaid
Bridget has become like a younger sister to me, which makes sense considering Brenna is her actual sister! She is a beautiful, kind soul who brings me joy whenever she is around. I love her to death and know I can count on her to be in my life for many many years to come!
Drake
Should Have Been Best Man
Drake is like the new and improved model of Brennan. He’s younger, taller, stronger, and doesn’t resemble a stop-motion Tim Burton character when he dances. When all this wedding business is said and done, Drake will officially be my brother, which will give a much-needed boost to my sibling portfolio. Turns out you can choose your family.
Nicole
Bridesmaid
Nicole and I met while we were both still taking our Early Childhood Education courses at the City College. Fast forward a couple of years and we now teach together in the same classroom! What began as a shared interest in the same career path quickly escalated into a strong, beautiful friendship. Nicole and I have daily conversations that never fail to make me smile or laugh. She's such a wonderful person and she is always SO supportive. I'm so happy our paths aligned because now I can't imagine life without her!
Sheldon
Angel Amongst Men
Oh Sheldon. What could I possibly say that would do justice to your unending virtuousness. I feel ashamed that you have to be included in a group with the rest of these swine, but sadly that is the nature of the beast. Whenever I am in need I know you will come running to my aid, unlicensed firearm in hand. Forever and always you have my undying support. Carry on, sweet prince.
Morgan
Bridesmaid
Morgan was a big part of how Tyler and I first met! She immediately became one of my closest friends and we continue to enjoy living and laughing together. Morgan is one of the most determined people I know and can accomplish anything she sets her mind to. This is one of the many reasons I love her & she will always be an inspiration to me.
Bradford
Volunteer
If you've ever had a warm can of Coors Light while trying to repair a broken boat propeller on a lake, then you've basically already met Bradford. Despite the fact that he doesn't care much for people and spends most of his time around chickens and other types of poultry, people seem to like him. Easily the most industrious of the group, Bradford knows his way around a construction site, but don't ask him about his taste in music or films. You will be disappointed.
Channing
Reserve Bartender
When we were kids, Channing once told me his dream career was, "to be a hobo." I didn't know what to make of it then and still don't now. For someone in a once-popular local rock band alongside yours truly, it's impressive that his most memorable public performance (streaking during our high school graduation) had nothing to do with music. He did have the decency to do it before the World War 2 veterans took the stage and for that, he earns his place in this wedding party.
