Megan & Drew
Wedding Party
Danielle Schoenthaler
Matron of Honor
Sister of the Bride My first friend, adventure comrade, running partner, travel queen and forever inspiration. The one who is there for me day and night, drives me professionally, and continues to exemplify compassion in all she does. You've seen me through the hard times, celebrated our victories, and will forever be my supporter. Mother of my adorable niece and best big sis around. Look for her running the coast all wedding weekend!
Donny Harter
Best Man
The Planner College roommate, professional tropical vacation planner, and an on-call Vegas nonsense partner in crime. He's been there for me through it all, and I'm glad that distance hasn't changed that. He's got a lot of stories he could tell about me, so I'm hoping he makes me look better at the wedding, not worse! Look for Donny on the dance floor after he's had a few Jager bombs.
Rebecca Rogers
Bridesmaid
Oldest Childhood Friend From childhood best friends to cross country companions, we have spent the last 25 years growing together. Birthday parties, sleepovers, MSU homecoming parades and holiday celebrations were the best, but who knew friendship could grow over countless facetime dates? The one who proves that friendship really knows no distance. You'll find her checking out the best golf courses around!
Addison Dill
Groomsman
The Musician College roomate, all-time favorite music buddy all through Clemson, and also an on-call Vegas nonsense partner in crime. He's been there for me through it all too, and I still can't believe we've *never* lost a single game of beer pong. That's what he always tells everyone at least, and I don't necessarily remember losing, so it must be true. Look for Addison trying to sneak a guitar into the venue to play along with the music.
Angela Mendoza
Bridesmaid
California Roomie turned Bestie California family, roommate, and California bucket list queen, I am so grateful for the hike that took us from coworkers to fast friends. The one who spent countless hours road tripping and listening to me blabber about Drew. The one who is always down to chase waterfalls, even when it means 7 hikes in a weekend. Look for her having fun on the dance floor!
Ivan Martinez
Groomsman
The Professor When I moved to CA and found out he lived just South of Napa, what was just an acquaintance at Clemson turned into an awesome friendship. Wine (and beer) aficionado, concert enthusiast, and professor of making the world a better place. Look for Ivan deducing which wines are worth investing his time in...(the answer is all of them).
Alaina Young
Bridesmaid
PT and Travel Gypsy A shared sense of wanderlust and adventure inspire us, yet it was organizing a 5k that brought us together. From study sessions to wine nights, Griffins games to lab partners, we conquered grad school together. Adulthood brought us travels, glacial swims, improved taste in wine, and a forever ear to share our latest adventure. Find her kayaking the coast or hiking Big Sur!
Thomas Grubb
Groomsman
The Mathematician Mathematician, rock climber, proud Uncle to Ella, and future brother in law. His acts of kindness toward Megan continuously show not only what an amazing Uncle he'll be, but what a great brother he is. Look for Thomas dancing with his adorable niece and searching for a Guinness before he "wins" Thunderstruck.
Elise Williamson
Bridesmaid
Drew’s Little Sis - My new Sis in Law Couldn't be more excited to have her as my future sister! Nothing says bonding like hiking for 12 hours while supporting our fiancés as they summited Half Dome this summer. From wine tasting in Napa to hiking in Yosemite, grabbing a drink at Apple Annie's or exploring Carmel, I look forward to many more memories together. Look for the future Mrs. Chaplin dancing with her hubby!
Andrew Chaplin
Groomsman
The Hunter Brother in law, a guy that makes my sister happier than I've ever seen, and successfully hiked to the 8,839ft summit of Half Dome with me without giving anyone's parents a heart attack (namely my parents). Can't wait for future trips together! Look for Andrew telling wild hunting stories or spinning Elise around on the dance floor.
Ella Schoenthaler
Flower Girl
Favorite Niece This adorable baby stole our hearts in October, and has continued to bring smiles as we watch her grow into a strong and beautiful girl. Ella, we encourage you to follow in your parents footsteps and continue traveling- nothing like visiting 5 states before your half birthday! We look forward to many more nights reading to you and playing together! Look for her eating all the avocado.
Paul Williamson
Father of the Groom
You've been there for me my whole life, every step of the way. You've taught me so many things in life, and been such an amazing influence. Sharing new experiences -- and old favorites -- in life together is something I'll cherish forever. And you've always led by example and shown me what a husband should look like. Try not to get too emotional at the ceremony, I already have that problem to worry about!
Jan Bollman
Mother of the Bride
The one with too many roles to name I am beyond lucky to call my mom my best friend. Who else would answer my calls in the middle of the night, remind me of traditions and favorite recipes every holiday season, never fail to show her support, and love me unconditionally? Thanks for always waking us up to “you play, you pay”, yet showing us how to play with the best of them. I can never say thank you enough for encouraging me through every life milestone, inspiring my love of hiking and traveling, and showing me how to love. Look for this hot momma kayaking with the sea otters.
Susan Williamson
Mother of the Groom
Your wisdom always led me in the right direction throughout my life, and I can't thank you enough for that. You keep me in check, and are always honest with me. There's no way I can repay the countless hours you've poured into caring for us, and I know you'll always be there for me. I'd like to think I turned out ok, and it's all thanks to you! Now it's time to take some time for yourself!
Christine Yim
Bridal Attendant
Colleague Turned Companion When Christine joined our work team stealing the role of the youngest PT, I naturally invited her to hike with me. When she suggested Mission Peak, and I was finally able to check it off my bucket list a year after living in the bay, I knew we would be friends. When she helped me pull off the best 30th birthday party to Drew, I knew we would be forever friends. From our conversations at Quicksilver to pool days to Tahoe trips, I am forever thankful for this inspiring professional. Look for her catching the rays at Carmel Beach.
