Chelsea & Seth
Wedding Party
Emily Schneider
Maid of Honor
Some people say soulmates are only for romantic relationships. However, when I met Emily the first day of sophomore year at Yorktown High School, I knew I had found mine (I may or may not have stalked her from afar freshman year...but only because she had great clothes!!!! Thanks Julie ;) ) She is my goofy, funny, smart, passionate other half and lifelong best friend. You might see her snapping pics of everyone during the wedding festivities, since she's also a successful photographer! Check her out at TellChronicles.com!
Bryon Elwell
Best Man
Bryon and I have known each other since early elementary school. We have made a lot of great memories together, and also some not-quite-as-great films. He is one of the most worldly people I know, and has a lot of great stories to tell from across the globe. We push each other to be better in a friendly, competitive way. I'm thankful that after all these years, across different cities, I still have an old friend nearby.
Gabby Money
Bridesmaid & Sister of the Groom
Gabby is my new sister and I could not be more thrilled! She is Seth's only sibling and those two are thick as thieves (I'm sure my new in-laws, Brenda and Fred, have some stories they'd love to share with you!). She and her fiance, Thomas Bright (you can read about him in the Groomsmen section!), are getting married at beautiful Log Haven up Millcreek Canyon in Salt Lake City, Utah in August 2018. They are already building a home -- they have a house near Seth's parents, a daughter named Sara (Gabby and Thomas are amazing parents!), a cat named Jaxon, and a puppy named Sampson. Gabby is infinitely generous, incredibly thoughtful, and has become more than a friend -- she's my sister.
Thomas Bright
Groomsman & Brother-In-Law
I am thrilled to have Thomas as a brother-in-law. He is a fun, laid-back guy who I love spending time with. We recently took a family trip up to Idaho to see the 2017 total solar eclipse, and I really enjoyed getting to know him more. We went swimming, tubing down a river, and played some competitive games of horseshoes. He has a beautiful daughter named Sara, and I am excited for him and Gabby to get married in August.
Brooke Campbell
Bridesmaid & Sister of the Bride
Brookie Cookie is my middle sister. She didn't come for six long years after I was born and every night, during family prayers, I would ask God and Jesus to please give me a baby sister or brother to play with. Then she came and I told them they were good to take her back now, my mommy and daddy had all they needed with just me (hee hee!). All jokes aside, Brookie is sweet, smart, genuine, and has always been my little sidekick (even when she didn't want to be!). She is currently in grad school at NOVA Southeastern in Fort Lauderdale, studying to become a Conservationist in the field of Marine Biology (did I mention she's selfless too?). So proud of her, always and forever.
Andrew Jordan
Groomsman
I'm willing to bet that Andrew is the nicest person you will ever meet. We grew up together across four different schools, from Bennion Elementary to the University of Utah, and have been cheering on the Utah Jazz the whole way. What he lacks in punctuality, he makes up for in wit. Though the two of us may not be the most cooperative tennis duo, we share a bond that has lasted for years.
Julia Campbell
Bridesmaid & Sister of the Bride
Jules/JJ is my baby sister and my Mini Me. We are just alike in every way! She is so much fun, super outgoing, smart, sophisticated, and fashionable. I'm forever asking her to help me with my makeup or hair or how my outfit looks (if she put it together, then it looks great!). She is always down for a snuggle and a movie when you're feeling low and a call from her always brightens my day. She graduates with a Bachelor of Arts in English from the University of Utah (my alma mater!! See, I told you she was my Mini Me ;) ) in May 2018 just before the wedding so be sure to tell her congratulations when you see her! She is my light when it's dark, my sunshine in the cold, and my little Jewey-Jules.
Joel Aoyagi
Groomsman
I met Joel in middle school and we immediately became friends. We have always shared similar interests, including ping pong, Bob Ross, Star Wars, and a certain news helicopter. We even shared the same barber growing up, but didn't realize it until years later. He is a gifted golfer and an experienced foodie. Joel is always willing to traverse the void and go the extra mile to be a good friend.
Jessica Albert
Bridesmaid
I will never forget the day I met Jessica. We had just completed a mid-school-year move across the country from Utah to northern Virginia and I was feeling pretty friendless. I had met Jessica in an earlier class and had to face the dreaded first day new kid lunch period. I walked into the lunchroom of Swanson Middle School and hadn't even started scanning hopefully for a table when I heard an excited, "Chelsea!! Chelsea, come sit with us!!" This beautiful creature was waving me down frantically and wasted no time introducing me to all of her friends. I didn't feel so alone anymore after that. Jessica is one of the sweetest, most loyal, friendliest critters I know and that is why she is my oldest bestest friend and bridesmaid.
Greyson Brenk
Groomsman
Greyson and I have been good friends since 7th grade. He is a great FIFA opponent and we have kept a running tally of our head-to-head record for years. (I'm winning). We may or may not have formed a short-lived comedy/folk duo called Drainage. We are both also big fans of "Ultra Dance 8". He's charming and has more than a few moves on the dance floor. Give him just one night and he will show them off.
Giulia Ambrogi
Bridesmaid
Giulia is my good luck charm. Anytime I need help with something tedious or can't find something (car keys, earring back, iPhone...hey, it was dead at the time!), I can always count on Giulia to help me out. Giulia has a gift for being the best person to sit quietly while you vent or cry or scream with excitement. She never tries to give you advice or tell you when you've done something stupid (and there's been many times when she could have!), she just listens. She is my steady rock and my lifeline, phone-a-friend bestest friend.
Christian Sudweeks
Groomsman
Though we both went to the same high school, Christian and I didn't become friends until after graduation, when we discovered our mutual interest in music. But it was worth the wait. We have recorded a lot of fun jams and had some good times together over the years. I think it all started with a little song called "Embargo Assassins".
Maxine Marshall
Bridesmaid & Officiant
Max is one of my best friends and roommates from college at the University of Utah. She is my most eloquent friend with a PhD in English (as you will all soon find out during the wedding ceremony!), she is passionate about her beliefs, and she cares for others with a ferocity unlike anyone I've ever met. She is my shoulder to lean on, the one who listened to me cry after too many boys broke my heart (before Seth came along of course :) ), and then the one who took me out right after for sushi, wine, and a bad Twilight movie premiere (it's tradition!!). She is one of the rare people in the world that I will always be comfortable with -- she and I are always so excited to talk to each other! I could not be more honored that she is officiating our wedding -- or more excited!
Conner Campbell
Junior Groomsman & Brother of the Bride
Conner is an awesome little brother. He's great to hang out with and he is super smart. Conner has amazing problem solving and engineering skills. I could seriously see him being a rocket engineer one day, no joke. I'm excited to have Conner by my side as my Junior Groomsman when I marry his sister and also to have him as my little brother.
Abigail Treybig
Bridesmaid
Abbie is one of my best friends and college roommates from back in the day at the University of Utah. She and I have had some seriously good times together -- Abbie is a ton of fun! She is vivacious, intelligent, hardworking, and always has a crazy idea up her sleeve (and I'm not saying we didn't try most of those ideas...;) I'm sure she'll have lots of stories to tell you after some King Family Vineyard wine! Hopefully nothing too embarrassing...). Abbie is the best friend that I call for sporadic trips to Vegas, quick jaunts to Park City, and buddy pass flights (complete with a sprint through the airport!) to visit distant friends. She and I are both foodies and love a good glass of wine. But most of all, we love each other and I'm so excited to have her by my side on the big day!
Ian Campbell
Junior Groomsman & Brother of the Bride
Ian is the sweetest little brother you could have. I've watched him grow up from a little tyke into a young man. He loves making people laugh. He is a good basketball player and a massive Steph Curry fan. Maybe one day he'll come to his senses and join Jazz Nation.
Lisa Elwell
Bridesmaid & Wife of the Best Man
I was so lucky the day Lisa moved to DC! We were good friends at the University of Utah, when she was dating her now-husband Bryon (they just got married in August 2017!) and I was dating Seth. Lots of double dates and late night Beto's burritos and Kevin Costner jokes later, she and I became the girlfriends that tethered the guys down. Lisa lived in NYC for a while after college and I didn't get to see her as much. When we moved to DC, Bryon moved here fairly quickly afterwards and I knew Lisa was soon to follow (and I made sure she knew it every time I saw her!!). She and I have become best friends and confidantes. Lisa is incredibly sweet, gracious, and kind and I strive to be more like her each day. We are still holding the guys down, but definitely having a few laughs along the way.
