Wedding Party
Emily Kuhn
Maid of Honor
Emily is a lifelong friend who has always felt more like a sister. From playing soccer together to dancing with the Cowtown Cloggers, we grew up side by side, sharing countless memories and so many chapters of life. One of my favorite memories will always be the two weeks we spent traveling through the UK together—a perfect example of how much joy, laughter, and adventure she brings into my life. After having the honor of standing by her side as her maid of honor, it means the world to now have her standing beside me on this day. I truly can’t imagine this moment—or my life—without her.
Eric Carlson
Best Man
Eric has gone from friend, to brother-in-law, to best man—but really, he’s just my brother. He’s an incredible father, a great husband, and one hell of a guy. I’m so grateful to have him in our family, and there’s no one else I’d rather have standing by my side as my best man.
Paige Gutierrez
Bridesmaid
Paige and I met on the very first day of the dorms in 2011, and from that moment on, life was never the same. From being roommates throughout college to growing into the people we are today, she has been by my side through every high and low, every late night and every big milestone. She’s more than a friend—she’s family—and I can’t imagine celebrating this day without her.
Crlll Brown
Groomsman
Crlll is truly one of my favorite people in the world—not just because watching people try to spell his name is a great icebreaker, but because he’s one of the most genuine people you’ll ever meet. I’ve been lucky enough to have him in my life since second grade, and there was never a doubt that he’d be standing with me on my wedding day.
Sarah Pryce
Bridesmaid
Sarah and I met at Chico State and became fast friends from the very beginning. Her kindness, warmth, and love for all things nature are just a few of the many reasons I admire her so much. She has such a genuine, beautiful heart and brings a sense of calm and joy wherever she goes. I had the incredible honor of officiating her wedding to her wonderful husband Griffin, and it means so much to now have her standing by my side on this day. I’m so grateful for our friendship and for all the memories we’ve shared.
Hailey Carlson
Groomswoman
Although I had plenty of options for groomsmen, I knew I needed Hailey up there with them. Since moving to Sacramento in 2020, Hailey has gone from being my sister to one of my best friends. Any time I get to spend with her, Eric, Bradley, and Jack, my heart is full. She’s a wonderful mom, a talented lawyer, and an amazing person. I’m so lucky to have her as both a sister and a friend.
Mariah Nelson
Bridesmaid
Mariah and I have known each other since we were three years old, when we first met at a gym daycare, and in so many ways, we’ve grown up together. Even as life took us to different states and even different countries, our friendship never wavered. No matter the distance, she has always felt close—someone who knows my story, my heart, and so many of my earliest memories. Having her by my side on this day means more to me than I can put into words. I’m so grateful for a friendship that has lasted a lifetime and only grown more special with time.
Nick Rogerson
Groomsman
My big bro and literally the only person I look forward to talking on the phone with. The older we get the more we find that we have in common and I am so happy to have an older brother to look up to and confide in. Although we don't live as close as we would like, he makes sure to be in my life and I cannot thank him enough for that.
Katie McLaughlin
Bridesmaid
Katie and I met at Chico State, but our friendship truly deepened when I moved to Sacramento and she let me move in with her. Having a familiar face in a new place meant everything to me, and our friendship has only grown stronger since. I’ve had the incredible joy of watching her fall in love, build a beautiful family, and become an amazing mom to her two wonderful boys. She has been there for me through so much, and I’m endlessly grateful for her friendship, her heart, and her presence in my life. It means the world to have her standing by my side on this day.
Brett Walroth
Groomsman
My oldest friend. From before we could talk to standing in each other’s weddings, Brett has always been one of my best friends. While he can get under my skin like no one else in the world, I can’t imagine my life without him. He has one of the biggest hearts, and when push comes to shove, I know he’ll always be there.
Tricia Quinn
Bridesmaid
Tricia and I met at Chico State and shared so many unforgettable nights and adventures together—especially our fair share of fun out on the town. Over the years, our friendship has grown and matured in the best way, and she has remained such a constant in my life. She has one of the most loving hearts and I’m so grateful for the bond we share—from our love of reading to endlessly sending each other funny Instagram videos. I’m so thankful for her friendship and to be able to share this day with her by my side.
Jon Einbund
Groomsman
Jon may be the funniest person I know—no one has made me laugh more than he has. But beyond having a direct line to my funny bone, he’s also one of the most thoughtful people I know. He’s calm, cool, and collected, and when it comes down to it, he’s one of the easiest people for me to be myself around (other than my beautiful fiancé). I’m so grateful for our friendship and look forward both of our futures.
