Wedding Party
Lindsey Bolton
Maid of Honor
We met in Geography class at Cal Poly when you waved at me like you'd known me for years. Now I can't imagine my life without you and the special friendship we have. You keep me sane, make me believe in myself, you've taught me the deepest level of compassion. We're both the oldest child in our families which builds a bond only we can understand. You're my soul sister and we're most definitely cut from the same cloth. You're my ride or die, best of the best and you make this life so full. I'm grateful and honored to call you a friend.
Anthony Ruiz
Best Man
Tony and I met in high school during our sophomore year and instantly bonded over our love for the San Jose Sharks. This lead to us becoming roommates for pretty much most of our adult lives. Tony and I have had some epic journeys over the years from going to the Daytona 500 a few times to random day trips to Tahoe and of course countless Shark's playoff games. Tony has always been there for me, and we have been through a lot together over the years. He is an amazing friend, and I am so thankful to have him to be my best man at our wedding.
Hayley Zeltser
Bridesmaid
One third of the Three Musketeers, you were my neighbor in the dorms, my roommate for years after and best friend. I couldn't have found a better friend, partner in crime and a large reason I made it through college. You have shown me unwavering love and support, shared secrets we'll go to the grave with and enough laughter and memories to fill a million books. I cherish our friendship and am so grateful for you!
Andrew Haydon
Groomsman
The first time I met Haydon I was going over to my friend's house for a BBQ, and there was Haydon doing karaoke singing "Living on a Prayer." I knew right then and there that any guy doing karaoke to Bon Jovi was going to be a good friend of mine. Haydon and I have traveled all over the world together from New York, Las Vegas, Rome, Venice, Budapest, Vienna, and of course Oktoberfest in Munich! I have been known to have the ability to get him to drink more than he probably should, but what are friends for, right? He has been an amazing friend to me over the years, and I am so honored to have him be a part of our wedding.
Ashley Hunter
Bridesmaid
The other third of the Three Musketeers, my sweet Sanka, my psycho eskimo child and many other more inappropriate names...You get my weirdness, put up with my silly names for you, but most of all you show up for me in all aspects of life. This life has thrown us some bumps but our friendship has stood the test of time and that kind of friendship doesn't come around very often. Boy do I love you, and I am incredibly grateful for your friendship and even more honored to have you by my side on our special day!
Bryan Rogers
Groomsman
Bryan and I met my sophomore year in high school at football practice and a friendship was instantly born. One line that pretty much sums up our friendship is: "You go, I go." Which at first meant if I got a base hit then he would follow me with a base hit. But after baseball, that phrase led to many adventures from going to see Bruce Springsteen in LA to countless trips to Las Vegas. Already looking forward to our next adventure! Thank you for being an amazing friend and for being a part of our special day.
Ana Eppes
Bridesmaid
Sister, Sister, I love every bit of you. Your heart, your spirit, your love of all furry things. I love the relationship we've built and the family we share. You are my littlest sister but mostly my equal and I trust your opinion, appreciate your advice, and am so proud of how much you've grown and the amazing person you've become. I couldn't be more honored to be sharing this day with you, I love you with everything I got!
Brian Battles
Groomsman
Brian and I met at the local baseball fields when I was around 12 years old. Brian, Kayl and I were pretty much inseparable from then on spending most of our youth playing baseball and spending entire summers together at each other's houses. As adults, our friendship has continued to grow as we have worked, coached baseball, camped, and gone to many concerts together. I also blame Brian for my addiction to golf! Brian has been there for me many times over the years, and I am so thankful to have him be a part of our wedding.
Teri Olson
Bridesmaid
My sweet Sister, I couldn't be happier to be sharing this moment with you. Thank you for your unwavering support, your bright shiny spirit, for endlessly talking to me about green smoothie variations and ways to improve the way we treat the one body we have, and for always finding a way to come back to love. In moments like this I reflect on the countless silly things we've shared in life, car rides to Tahoe making up songs and singing at the top of our lungs. My nicknames for you (Harriet, Winston, Peener Weiner!) Thank you for being with me today and always. I love you!
Kayl Behmlander
Groomsman
Where do I even start with this guy? Kayl and I met when we were ten years old while playing on the same baseball team together. As my catcher, there was nobody that could calm me down or fire me up more than Kayl ever could, and that is still true even 25 years later. Kayl has always been the life of the party, and if you have not met him yet, I have no doubt you will get to know him on our wedding day. He has been like a brother to me over the years, and I am so thankful to have him be a part of our special day.
Holly Durocher
Bridesmaid
If only Mr. Posada saw us now. He would be amazed at the friendship we've shared. Sometimes I think we're so similar we could be sisters, but then I realize on so many levels we are. No one makes me laugh as hard as you, and our strange mannerisms while attempting to describe the most common things in life are something to be rivaled. We've traveled near and far together sharing in life's craziest moments staying up all night in Italy, singing show tunes on trains to France and finding out that we both love Hope Floats. I am the luckiest to have you by my side at our wedding and even luckier to have you as my dear friend.
Mike Smith
Groomsman
Mike and I met just before our sophomore year of high school. I was the new kid at school that year and met Mike a couple weeks before class started at football practice. After the first day of practice, I knew Mike was going to be one of my best friends. This started many late night trips to 7-11, drinking too many Mountain Dew sodas, and him witnessing some of my most embarrassing moments. Mike and I have shared many laughs and tears together through the years, and I am so thankful to have him be a part of our wedding day.
Sabrina Greene
Bridesmaid
My newest sister, you are so wonderful. I am grateful for your friendship, your funny text messages of the boys, your beautiful spirit and all the support you have shown Matt and I these past few years. I am honored to be gaining a sister I admire and love so much! If I could draw up the perfect sister in law, she would look just like you! How did I ever get so lucky?! xo
Randy Pickard
Groomsman
Well, I met Randy the day he was born. I'll never forget that day not only because it was the day the A's lost the World Series to the Reds, but because it was the day I got to meet my little brother. With our nine year age difference, Randy and I started to become close while he was in high school. I would try to go to all of his basketball or baseball games if I could. Once he was 21 I did what any older brother should do which was take him to Tahoe and to Las Vegas. It has been amazing to see him grow over the years and become the great man that he is today. I am so thankful to have him be a part of our wedding.
