Officiant
Lisa is one of the most funny, clever, creative, and charming people you will ever meet! We have been best friends for over 23 years. We have been referenced as the “Ladies Who Travel Together” by young children, The Mandy and Lisa Show, and refer to each other as HLM (hetero life mate). We have been roommates, workmates, and the best of mates! She is my sister from another mister. My parent’s Hawaiian daughter, and Alan and I can’t wait to have her partner with Matt to marry us!
Officiant
Matt has been my best friend for over 40 years since we met in high school. Our friendship has survived a lot, including prosperous careers at Taco Bell, late nights at Denny’s, and the dreaded terrestrial heat flow. We couldn’t be more delighted that he and Lisa are marrying us and making our special day even more specialer.
Best Man
I am deeply honored to have my son Henry as my best man. This little bear has been a delight since the day he was born and I am always in awe of his kindness, his humor, and his good nature. An unbridled Metallica fan, Hurricane Henry fills our home with music, laughter, and a head banging good time! Best man indeed!
Maid of Honor
“Mad” is what the friends call her. Which couldn’t be more fitting. To know Madeline is to be “Mad about her”. She is a force! Super intelligent, funny, artistic, self possessed, and the list goes on. A lover of music and pop culture. Madeline does horseback riding and kickboxing. The most recent obsession is The Outsiders. We are so lucky to have this amazing young person standing by our side on our wedding day and for the rest of our life! We love you!
Flower Maid
Oh Hannah! She was the one who turned me from Mandy to Aunt Mandy! This one is too many things! Her heart is so good. She is patient, kind, driven, and always has the best intentions. Currently, she is in Washington DC at George Washington University becoming a Physician Assistant. Hannah is also engaged to be married so we have been on this journey together. I’m so glad to have her, Camille, and Jake walking ahead of me on one of the biggest days of my life. Love you HanBanan!
Flower Maid
“Best believe she’s still bejeweled when she walks in the room, she makes the whole place shimmer”! -Taylor Swift When Alan first met her, his description of Camille was “vivacious”. I had never heard a better word for her. From the moment she was born she has been full of life. She is a blast to be around, smart, (she was the only Barlow child to be in the gate program and reminds us regularly) 🤣 lover of music, Taylor Swift, and is one of the best gals EVER. She currently resides in San Diego after Graduating SDSU and is working in finance. I am so proud to have her with me on my wedding day and always. We love you Mills!
Ring Bearer
Jakey Jo! My son! Well, not really, but he and I like to joke that he is mine with the matching red hair. 🤣 Jake is athletic, witty, intelligent, and kind. Best hide and seeker ever! His quiet confidence and chill way about him makes him one cool cat. I’m still waiting for him to get back to me with his terms for being in the wedding….Jake is currently a senior at Casa Grande High School playing Varsity Basketball. I love him to the moon and back!
Honorary Matron Of Honor
Sister! You have been by my side since the beginning. From early years of being in the back of the Mustang for 12 hours at a time. To figuring out what assisted living Merlin and Chris are going in. 🤣 J/K I love you so much. Thank you for giving me my flower maids and ring bearer. I cherish our crazy family and you helping me stay sane in it. Alan and I are so happy you are part of our special day.
Honorary Best Man
Brother, my brother! All my best memories of childhood were with you, whether we were adventuring in Turkey, discovering a "turquoise mine" in Dad's backyard, or riding our bikes through the dusty streets of Fair Oaks. There's nobody I'd rather get lost in Disneyland with! Proud to call you my brother, proud of the man, husband, and father you are. We are honored to have you a part of our special day.
