Bride & Groom
Quite obviously, the bride and groom! We can't wait to share our day with you and see your best moves on the dance floor ;)
Best Man
Aaron is my older brother and the brother closest in age. Aaron and I have been best buddies forever, from sharing a bedroom for our young years, playing sports together in high-school and college, going to school together, and going on adventures, Aaron and I have done it all together. I got to be Aaron's best man when Aaron married his wife Molly and now Aaron gets to do the same. Aaron is currently living in Portland doing his medical residency and likes to claim that he's "the only real doctor in the family."
Groomsman
Jordan is my second oldest brother. Jordan has always been a prankster with a great sense of humor and I like to think I got a lot of my sense of humor from Jordan growing up. Jordan is now an awesome family man, currently living in Salem with his wife Katie and their three awesome kiddos. Jordan is definitely an awesome mentor and a great friend. Jordan is always ready to have a great time and will definitely be busting out some dance moves at the wedding.
Groomsman
Tyler is my oldest brother and was often my teammate growing up whenever we'd compete against the other brothers. Growing up with Tyler I learned my love of sports and competition and I love all the memories of playing games and sports with Tyler over the years. Tyler is a devoted husband, skilled outdoors photographer, dog dad, and loves to travel and adventure. Tyler and his wife Carly both practice Dentistry in Eugene.
Groomsman
Gabe is my brother in law and an awesome husband, father, and friend. I have been lucky to have Gabe as a brother the last decade and we've been able to share lots of adventures together. We share a mutual love of the outdoors, learning, games, and adventures. I have been lucky to spend lots of time with Brooke and Gabe's family since moving to Bend two years ago and I am honored to have them both be a part of our wedding.
Groomsman
Evan is my younger brother and one of the coolest cats I know. Evan is always down for an adventure and loves to dirt bike, ski, play sports, be in the outdoors and he is the only brother in our family to have owned a motorcycle and to have gone skydiving. Evan is smart, funny, and an all around good guy. He is currently going to school at LBCC but will follow in the footsteps of the rest of the family and begin studying accounting at OSU this year. Evan currently holds the claim to best basketball player in the family... for now.
Groomsman
Jacques is Michelle's brother and will soon be one of my top two favorite brothers-in-law. Jacques is one of the smartest guys I know it is awesome to be adding another brother to my family. Jacques is a great friend and has welcomed me into the family since the beginning. Jacques and I share a love for football, playing games, learning, and are both very competitive. Jacques is a great guy and it's going to be great to have him as a brother for the rest of our lives.
Groomsman
Espen is my youngest brother but he makes up for it with character. Espen is going to school at Santiam Christian in Albany where he plays basketball, football, and does drama. Espen is an all around baller and loves sports, games, books, Lego, and his pet fish. Being the youngest, Espen had to be tough to keep up with all his older bros which helped him become competitive and learn not to back down from a challenge. Espen is super smart and can accomplish anything he chooses to. I predict that pretty soon Espen will pass up Evan as the best basketball player in the family.
Maid of Honor
Nicole and I have been best friends since the third grade. That is 17 years of friendship! We are really more like sisters than friends, and have dreams of one day being next door neighbors. As Nicole said when Drew and I got engaged: "Drew is marrying her, but he is stuck with us" <3
Bridesmaid
Dani and I met when we studied abroad in London our freshman year of college. In fact, Dani was my first friend in college! We immediately hit it off with our shared love of traveling, food, photography, and deep talks. One of my favorite memories is when we travelled to Stockholm, Sweden together and especially one night where we tried reindeer for dinner.
Bridesmaid
Brooke is my soon to be sister-in-law. My favorite thing about Brooke is her sense of adventure and love for the outdoors and gardening. Drew and I have shared many camping trip experiences already with Brooke, Gabe and their kids, and we look forward to many more memories together.
Bridesmaid
Jess is my "little sister" that I gained while in a sorority at USC. I can describe Jess as human sunshine, and a jack-of-all trades. Jess has taught ballroom dancing, salsa, has her black-belt in taekwondo, and is an aspiring actress. She is one of the sweetest and kindest people you will ever meet!
Bridesmaid
Libby and I met in a chemistry class at USC our sophomore year. While some may call this "trauma bonding", it actually brought me one of my best friends in undergrad. Libby was always able to provide much needed comic-relief and still to this day always knows how to make me laugh.
Bridesmaid
Ironically, Colleen and I both grew up in Corvallis and went to rival high schools across town. We joke that we were forced to finally became friends when Colleen joined me at USC, one year after I started. Colleen is easy-going, and so loving and thoughtful, that to know her is to love her. Colleen is forever my outdoor guru, and I know she will always have the best recommendations for where to hike and camp.
Bridesmaid
Madelyn and I met through Cru (a Christian org on campus) our sophomore year of college. I will always remember the first time Madelyn and I hung out, she brought cookies over and said "well I can't come over empty handed!" I instantly wanted to be friends! Madelyn and I were roommates for junior and senior year of college, and I am so thankful to have had a friend/roommate who was always down for spontaneous Starbucks runs in those last two years of college!
