Wedding Party
Cassy
Matron of Honor
Cassy and Kayla have been friends since their junior year of high school when Kayla convinced her to join the Skyhawk Newspaper at Deer Valley High School! Though the days of knowing each other go all the way back to sixth grade! Since their high school days they have seen a lot of life together! From introducing Cassy to her now husband, Aaron, while bowling after a soccer game, to Disneyland trips, college, late night talks over wine about their hopes and dreams in life, more girls trips, hospital stays, seeing each other through family tragedies, trips around the globe, seeing Train and other concerts any chance they have, buying their own homes, watching Cassy grow her family and become a mom, to every big and little moment in between their friendship has seen so much together! Cassy is the kind of person that knows just what to say in any situation, the kind of friend who always makes you feel thought of, cared for and supported, and is there for any and all situations in life-- whether it's a bestie trip to Disneyland or a visit up the hospital to make sure Kayla is getting the best care- Cassy has always been there!
Katie
Matron of Honor
Ever since their first year of friendship in fifth grade when Kayla realized both their names started with a "K" and should be henceforth known to each other as "K-Power" Katie and Kayla have been bonded for life. Whether it was trips to California and plotting to overtake sharks (Ask Katie what the best method is to defend yourself from a shark attack), a last second invite to Disneyland to celebrate a Sweet 16, watching as Kayla totaled a golf cart in Sedona, traveling the globe and enjoying cruising the world together, discovering a friendship favorite of Tequila & Pineapple juice while celebrating Katie becoming a wife, coming to Kayla's immediate defense when she nearly got left in the London-Heathrow Airport, Kayla getting to stand by Katies side (PS Kayla , Katie, Michael and Will now share the same anniversary!) or even just calls to check in knowing that we would just "get each other" and be on the same page in life. Their friendship has always been built on a strong foundation of understanding, sarasm, support fun and love!
Brian
Best Man
Brian is Michael's brother and together they have shared so many incredible memories. They have a shared love for enjoying video games spending hours gaming with one and other, watching countless horror movies, spending time with family and so much more! Today they still enjoy hiking, movies, games, books, and similar tastes in music.
Richard
Best Man
Richard and Michael met virtually while gaming and became fast friends! Since then they have spent countless hours gaming together, even some days into the early hours of the morning. Their friendship has grown so strong that Michael had the honor of being Richard's best man in his wedding! They enjoy going out to eat at Jin Shabu, a Japanese all you can eat hot-pot restaurant, and catching up about life.
Allison
Bridesmaid
Kayla's first friend, her forever friend! Allison and Kayla both walked in to a brand new school, in a brand new neighborhood, not knowing anyone, but quickly realizing they'd always have eachother from that moment in 2nd grade on. With a shared love of dry humor, N*SYNC, Lizzie McGuire, Hilary Duff and all things 90's kids the memories with Allison are endless and the friendship they share knows no bounds. Allison is one of the most dependable, loving, fun and funny people Kayla is lucky to have in her life. Together they've seen each other grow from girls to women being by each others side through every stage of life every step of the way. From their days in girl scouts together, to countless sleep overs, girls trips, communions, dance recitals, graduations, and sharing all that can be packed in to more than 25 years of friendship together Allison can always be counted on to be there no matter what!
Bianca
Bridesmaid
Since the fourth grade Kayla and Bianca have shared no shortage of fun times together! Sharing a spontaneous life, Bianca is Kayla's go-to friend for all her spontaneous ideas! Finds a new restaurant to try? She's in! They wants to use her their high school tennis skills to beat up on "The Michaels" (her husband is also a Michael!) in the Pickleball court? Bianca is ready! A spontaneous date night with the Michaels and sharing Christmas traditions with them, she's there! Not to mention Kayla and Bianca's shared love for travel have taken them around the world together, on a whim Disney trips, celebratory birthday trips, girls trips, English baking classes, recording obnoxious Disney sing-a-long videos on our digital cameras, sushi catch up dates when "the Michaels" are too busy for us, too many girl scout memories to count, and even a shared attempt at making rice Krispie's without the rice Krispies themselves, Bianca and Kayla are always ready to laugh and have a good, memorable time together! Kayla knows that whatever life throws Bianca will be there to support her, laugh with her, and even vent to her when needed. Kayla had the honor of being part of Bianca's big day and she is so excited that Bianca now gets to share her big day with her!
Lili
Bridesmaid
Kayla's soon-to-be sister! Lili is Kayla's brother, Chase's, fiancé! She's been an honorary Pologa since day one of their relationship more than 8 years ago though. She's learned to keep up with the Pologa energy on travels around the world to Europe, Asia, Hawaii, Disneyland, Disneyworld, and even on a cross country United States trip with the Pologa family-- now that's love! Lili always brings such a fun and supportive energy to Kayla's life whether it's a fun game night, helping Kayla when she gets too indecisive or even coming to her defense when the rest of the family makes fun of her! With a shared love of trashy reaility t.v., the Bachelor and being hopeless romantics together Kayla is so happy to be sharing both of their happily ever afters together!
Chase
Groomsman
Chase is Kayla's younger brother and though he and Michael have only known each other for just four short years they've had a lot of fun together! With Chase's quick wit and sarcastic sense of humor, any time the two of them spend together is an exchange of razzing each other. Michael often gets to enjoy all kinds of Chases incredible cooking whipping up new dishes for family get togethers and holidays, to his skills with meat smoking, wood-fired pizzas, and even sometimes the occasional desserts Chase tries his hand at. They are both wildly competitive and whenever there are family game nights you can bet the two exchange some solid trash talk. Michael is looking forward to gaining another brother after wedding day and all the adventures that are to come together as family. Catch Chase for a quick witted joke or some solid energy on their wedding day as he promised Kayla and Michael to "bring the class and the party" to Michael's side of the bridal party! Chase lives by wedding crasher rule number 76, "No excuses play like a champion."
Ashley (Smash)
Bridesmaid
The ultimate hype woman! Ashley, better known as "Smash" is always the one to remind Kayla of her worth and makes sure she is celebrated and feels special at every turn! The friend that ALWAYS shows up no matter what. Big or small moment, big or small need, there is no question Smash is the friend that will be there at the drop of a dime. Not to mention she willingly feeds in to Kayla's love of spontaneous travel, game nights, and lady date nights at any and all restaurants the two of them find together. They've spent late nights until the early hours of the morning sharing moments where they laugh until they cry during game nights and adventures on girl's trips, dreaming of their next vacations together and swapping Instagram reels of all the crazy ideas they have on their bucket list together. They've shared road trips with long conversations about life, and Smash even brought out Kayla's alter ego... now forever known as "Teq-Kayla" on a surprise birthday trip she orchestrated to a "T", Smash fills Kayla's life with fun and love!
Amanda
Bridesmaid
Affectionately referred to by Kayla as the "Big sister she never had" Amanda and Kayla met while working at Kayla's first "big girl job" after finishing her Masters degree. While they spent just a few years together at Grand Canyon University, the friendship they built there together is a bond that was forged for a lifetime. Seeing eachother through some truly trying times, Amanda is the person that Kayla knows she can always go to to offer just the right, wise advice, the one who truly listens without judgement, loves her through thick and thin and is there to support no matter what. Not to mention, Kayla will go to her with just about any design advice question because Amanda looks like she could step on to a runway at any given moment! Through their more than 10 years of friendship they've been able to share and celebrate some of life's biggest milestones together - from birthday girl's trips, to Amanda becoming a mom, to houses, job changes and everything in between the fun, celebration and support never stops between these two!
