Chantal & Michael
Wedding Party
Hayden Kennedy
Best Man
Hayden is my son. He is almost 9 years old and I am so proud of him. He plays baseball, basketball, football, and is always willing to try new things. I am so excited that he will be standing by my side for such an important part in my life. He will be such a great Best Man!
Krystle Heyer
Matron of Honor
Krystle has been my friend since we were 10 years old! She is like a sister to me and my brother. We were inseparable once we found out our birthdays were a day apart. We have worked at the same jobs together, gone to elementary and high school together, learned to drive together, and traveled to California, Wisconsin, and Australia together. We haven't lived in the same state for about 5 years, but whenever we're together, it's as if we were never apart! She makes me laugh and has that motherly advice when I need it the most. She is a strong business woman and an awesome wife to Cheyne, who has become a great friend to me and Mike. We cherish their friendship. They live in Three Forks, MT with their 2 dogs and hungry chickens. I am thankful to have Krystle as my Matron of Honor.
Arielle Snyder
Bridesmaid
Arielle and I met in college in Arabic class. We were accepted into a Summer Intensive Program in Alexandria, Egypt and studied there in 2010. We were roommates there and instantly clicked. Arielle is one of the smartest women I know. She gives great advice, is level-headed, and is impeccable at movie quotes. One of my favorite memories is when we hiked Mt. Sinai in the middle of the night to see the sunrise. That is the most tired I have ever been, but it was so worth it! After college, she worked and resided in Iraq for 2 years, yet we still kept in close contact and are still best friends to this day. She now lives in Washington DC, but she is from Big Fork, MT and always makes time for a visit. I am excited to see her and have her stand by me as my Bridesmaid.
Steve Bright
Groomsman
Steve started working at Crux about a year before me. We have been friends for about 15 years and enjoy catching up at lunch or after work for a drink. He and his wife, Sarah, have become close friends to me and Chantal. Their kids, Aly & Logan, are good friends to Hayden as well.
Roy Crocker
Groomsman
Roy is family and one of my best friends. He always has the best advice. I've been friends with his wife, Jaime, longer than he has known her actually! I am Uncle Mike to his two kids, Jackson and Ella. We love to spend time with them up at Priest Lake and go to Disneyland with all of the kids.
Alyx Atkinson
Bridesmaid
Alyx was my first friend when I moved to Spokane in 2014. She is always smiling and lights up the room when she walks in. We love to go dancing or get a drink and talk about anything and everything. She has always been supportive and always goes with the flow. One of my favorite memories with her is when we went to see Beyonce in Seattle. Amazing! I introduced Alyx to Anna near the end of 2016 and all three of us have become best friends. We are always hanging out together and making plans. Alyx just got engaged to her love of her life, Eric, who has become a great friend to us as well. They are such a fun couple and love to try new things. They live in downtown Spokane, WA.
Anna Dru Menke
Bridesmaid
Anna and I met in 2014 when she and her husband, Jackson, started working at Crux. We instantly became friends. They recently were married in May of this year. They live in Spokane Valley, WA so we get to see each other often...or I'll just pop by for a snack! Anna always goes above and beyond and is so creative. Anna, Alyx, and I are always hanging out together. We're basically The Three Amigos! We have so much fun together, no matter what we do. We went to Vegas in March for Anna's bachelorette and it was such a great time. I am glad I got to stand by her side at her wedding and that she can be next to me for mine.
