Megan & Michael
Wedding Party
Amanda Valdivia
Matron of Honor
We might not look related, but Amanda is my generous big sister [although little in stature ;)]. We used to fight constantly growing up, but as we've matured, we've grown so much closer and I admire Amanda for her generous heart. I also thank her for bringing my favorite human into this world and being a wonderful mother to him.
Carly Oyola
Bridesmaid
I have known Carly since she was born. That's 30 years. We used to be inseparable when we lived across the street from one another and have remained close ever since. We have way too many inside jokes to count and always end up screaming our heads off while playing N64 together.
Erin Redding
Bridesmaid
Jamba Juice brought us together back in high school and I will forever be thankful to them for that. Erin is tiny, but she packs a spicy punch and her theatrics always crack me up. Most importantly, she is a wonderful friend and we've seen each other through a lot.
Becky Motta
Bridesmaid
I am so thankful Becky decided she wanted to be my friend and sought me out. She says I didn't seem as interested in being her friend, but I am not sure how that is true. To know Becky is to love her. She is my hilarious "personal pastor" and a forever friend.
Kate Beggs
Bridesmaid
Kate and I became friends in grad school and immediately connected over our similar humor. Once we recognized that, I think we were at each other's places every night of the week and eventually lived together our second year. We've maintained a strong, long-term friendship, for 7 years and I always look forward to our yearly trips/reunions.
Caitlin Lumpkin
Bridesmaid
Caitlin (aka Sutton) is my little Georgia peach! USC brought us together and almost everything she says is made funnier by her passion and accent. She is a deeply caring friend who always knows the right words to say. We've maintained a strong, long-term friendship, for 7 years and I always look forward to our yearly trips/reunions.
Eva Hester
Bridesmaid
Eva loves to tell people how she would die for me, but I don't think she realizes how amazing she is! Eva is super generous, so authentic and her wit will always bring you a great laugh. We've lived together for 5 years (she almost beat Mike to domestic partnership) and our relationship has grown each year. She's also blessed me with the honor of being named Dwight's godmother (her bunny).
Kat Everard
Bridesmaid
Kitty Kat was my unofficial roommate for a few years (because I forced her to come over all the time), until we officially became roommates for a few years. Her energy is contagious, and it is so easy to have a good time with her, even if it is just sitting on the couch together watching TV (embarrassingly we've covered a lot of hours together doing just that).
Brooke Carlier
Bridesmaid
Brooke is my sister in love and let me tell you, Sam made a great choice! Brooke is tiny, but don't let that fool you. She is full of energy and love. Her heart for others and the way she cares for those she loves is admirable. I am happy to call her my sister!
Logan Valdivia
Ring Bearer
I love this little man with all my heart. Logan made me an aunt in 2017 and forever changed my life. For how much love I have for him, you'd think I'd have more energy to keep up, but that is never the case. He loves that Uncle Mike can throw him super high and has the strength to rough house him, unlike me. He is a wild child, so some laughs and surprises with his role in the wedding may surely be coming.
Maddie Sieger
Bridesmaid
Maddie is our niece and she is a caring, nurturing, and loving young woman. Even in her teenage years ;) She is a phenomenal dancer and we are hoping she can show us a thing or two before the big day! We love taking her to amusement parks and she always makes sure Megan always has a good mani.
Cole Sieger
Groomsman
Cole is our nephew and he keeps us young with the inside scoop of what all the cool kids are saying. Sometimes he is too cool for us (hence no pics together), but we love him and his crazy hair. He is a great hockey player and we have a lot of fun watching him play!
Joe Cherbak
Best Man
Joe is one of my longest lasting friendships I've had. We've been friends for just about 20 years. He's been with me through all the good and bad parts of my life. Megan has always been jealous of our gym dates and I'm sure thats why we're getting married on his birthday.
Jake Jaenicke
Best Man
Me and Jake grew up in the same neighborhood hanging out and riding bikes together. We played little league baseball and spent many days going to the beach and sitting by the pool. He and his family have always been so warm and loving towards mine and i cherish the relationship we have made.
Rolan Camp
Groomsman
Rolan and I have been friends since middle school, we lived in the same neighborhood for a good part of our childhood and would get into all sorts of trouble. We also shared a love of hockey and played in a roller hockey league in town for a few years of our young life.
Brent Samson
Groomsman
I met Brent through a few groups of friends back in high school. He was always such a stand up guy and never had anything bad to say about him. We both share a love of online gaming and to this day we still play some of the games we played in high school.
Mackenzie Kirk
Groomsman
Mackenzie is another person that i had met through multiple friend groups. When we met finally we hit it off and spent the entire high school sophomore summer hanging out at his pool and causing all kinds of havoc throughout the kite hill neighborhood.
Jeff Wyckoff
Groomsman
I will always blame jeff for my love of video games. At a young age i remember playing with him and his friends when popular pc gaming titles came out and i was hooked from the beginning. As a big brother he showed me the way through everything and to this day he still helps me out when i need him most.
Nate McFadden
Groomsman
Nate was one of my first friendships at Jserra. We both swam and met our freshman year and since then havent looked back. We had our own breakfast club at one point and I would even get his mom to call the school to let them know we would both be late because of a long surf club session before school.
Sam Carlier
Groomsman
Having only met Sam a few times at family gatherings I can tell he’s a funny, stand up guy who I can talk gaming with. I look forward to getting more time with him and his family to create many more lasting memories and to have another brother!
Brian Valdivia
Groomsman
The few times we've gotten together we have shared many laughs, and knowing how much energy his young son Logan has I'm sure he's not far behind. I look forward to creating many more lasting memories with him and his family in the future and being able to call him my brother.
