Megan & Jake
Our Story with Family & Friends
Erin Huffman
Best Woman
Erin is my twin sister. I would be lost without her. She is a part of me like no other, and we have such a strong bond that is so unique. I probably will never truly grasp how blessed I've been to have someone like her always with me and there for me. I've never really had to be alone, and that is a huge comfort to me. Knowing Erin is involved in Jake's and my life as much as she is means everything to us. We couldn't imagine our lives without her being a part of it.
Burl Austin Leno
Best Man
Jake's older brother Austin is just what everyone needs in their life! He brings the best smile with him everywhere, and it is infectious! Austin has so many wonderful qualities, one being his talent of telling stories. You sit on the edge of your seat wanting more, and he has such a good head on his shoulders. He is so open to everyone, and so forthright and upfront, qualities you don't find easily in many, and he makes it look so easy. His love and talent for music knows no bounds, and his willingness to try anything and be there for you is simply special. We adore you and look forward to growing old with you and your family unit.
Morris Huffman
Father of the Bride
Morris is simply amazing. I'll never fully know the lengths and measures he went to throughout my life to ensure my siblings and I were raised in a loving home. I know my dad made so many sacrifices and decisions throughout my childhood to keep his family together and secure. For that I'll forever be grateful and humbled by this man. He is my Marshmallow!!! I adore him and look forward to the many years to come with visits to Montana and his visits to Washington to keep our families close.
Russ Leno
Father of the Groom
What can I say, Russ is simply fun! Russ is the life of the party. He brings so much energy, great stories, joke-telling, and energy to any place he is. He has a zest for life that urges anyone near him to lighten up, relax and just find enjoyment. Generosity, thoughtfulness, artistic talents (which are many), as well as his love of the outdoors and cultivating a beautiful home that he shares constantly with others are why Russ is one-of-a-kind. We love you so much and look forward to the many get-togethers we will have with you.
Mary Elaine Griffis
Mother of the Groom
Elaine is basically the nicest person you'll ever meet. Her heart is so warm and inviting and she is the best person to go to if you have a problem or just need to talk to someone. She has the best attitude about life and is someone who is truly up for anything. She is a very smart woman who is taking life in stride and making it look good. Her love of gardening and sewing is inspiring. She'll drop everything to help others and her sweet nature is a true blessing in our lives.
Kyle (and kiddos) Huffman
Honor Attendant
This is Megan's older brother Kyle, niece Savannah, and nephews Logan and Cade. This family unit is so wonderful and meaningful to our lives. Kyle's devotion and love of his children has been inspiring to us and the proof of it is in these kids. They each have such wonderful personalities and kindness. Watching them grow up so fast and become young adults is a joy for us. Kyle is someone I've looked up to my entire life and he has always shown that hard work and humbleness are what can truly make a person grow in ways you never thought possible. He has gone through much and to see how he has persevered and made the most of it is what we find is one of his best assets.
Christine and Hunter Leno
Honor Attendant
Christine is Austin's wife and Hunter is their ridiculously adorable child (and Jake's nephew). This family unit is super special to us and we can't wait to watch them grow together. Hunter is growing faster than ever, and he is so precious and happy. His parents are caring and loving and are cultivating his world to be one of love, kindness, acceptance, and strength. Christine is a super-mom who gives her all, and makes their home one that everyone feels a part of. Her beauty and generosity is unending and Austin and Hunter add to it with their support and laughter. We love you guys!!!
Alison and John Robert
Honor Attendant
Alison and JR are some of our absolute favorite people in this world. Allison has been best buddies with Jake since high school days, and JR and Allison are engaged to be married as well. These two are seriously cool! They both have a love of nature that is contagious and are both so easy and fun to be around. They are super welcoming and generous and have so many interests and hobbies that you can't help but seek them out so you can just experience their natures. Wicked smart, dedicated, and hard-working, they just seem to excel at anything they put their minds to, but they also know how to kick back and simply enjoy what is around them. You can't help but fall in love with these two and hope to be in their lives forever.
Harmony Wallender
Flower Girl
Harmony is Megan's sister from another mother basically. I've known her about 20 years now, and were also roommates for almost 13 years! She will forever be a sister to me. Words can't describe how she has helped me grow and be a better me. She is a light that shines and you're lucky if you get to be in that light with her. Super smart, fast-learning, willing to try anything, a go-getter and never happy until she succeeds and plans for the next best thing, this girl is a force to be reckoned with. She's there for you whenever you need her to be, she is always up for a new adventure and the many talents she has up her sleeves are endless. She is simply beautiful, inside and out!
Cassie & Erik
Honor Attendant
Cassie is Megan's dearest friend, they've been buddies for about 20 years. So many memories have been made with this woman. She is the light of any room and is the most welcoming and friendliest person you'll ever meet. She has made my world brighter and happier each and every time I've gotten to be with her. Cassie became engaged to Erik the same year as us, so the two of them are some of Jake and I's most sought-after couples to spend time with and be around. Erik and Jake found they have much in common and have bonded to an adorable level of man-pals that Cassie and I adore! This couple is so smart, so talented, so hard-working and kind that we don't ever want to be too far from them and we can't wait to see our friendships grow more together.
Amanda & Caleb Schneider
Honor Attendant
Caleb and Megan met over 5 years ago. They quickly became fast friends and have had some extra fun travels and group activities to forever remember. Caleb is the guy you call up when you need help with anything. He is one of the most dependable, caring, compassionate, giving persons. So it was not a surprise when he found his counterpart in this life a few years ago with his now-wife Amanda. She is the yin to his yang. She is one of the best communicators and listeners and selfless friends we've been blessed to know. They both are such a joy to be around, and we've done the most trips and weekend hang sessions with these two - because you just want to be near them. We love you both!
Staci, Pouya, and Jackson
Honor Attendant
Staci is a close friend of Megan's. They've known one another 20 years already, and this friendship will definitely keep going. Staci is one of the best people to go to if you have anything you want to get off your chest. She is an epic listener, and she brings to the table so many terrific talents (writing, singing, knitting, baking), and to top it off, she's a brilliant mother to Jackson (who is now 11 years old). In December 2019 she married Pouya, who is by far one of the most interesting, intelligent, fun, and generous people we've had the pleasure of befriending. This family unit is inspiring to us and getting to share our lives with them makes us extremely happy and fulfilled.
