Nicholas & Jelsy
The Wedding Crew
Bethany Williams
Matron of Honor
Bethany and Jelsy met at a SuperBowl party their freshman year in college. From there they became best friends and roommates. Even though these two are very close friends, their style and wardrobe could not be more different. Bethany loves to play with bright colors, sparkles, and glitter; while Jelsy felt like she could strut the halls of her college with black, white, and earthy tones. That being said, these two invented "Roomie Swap Thursdays" in which every Thursday, Bethany would wear Jelsy's clothes, and Jelsy wore Bethany's clothes. Oh how their wardrobes, and friendship, have grown since then!
Diego Penaherrera
Best Man
Best Man (1/2) Diego and Nick met during their sophomore year of Northwest University. These two immediately got along and hung out all the time. Since they were roommates for 3 years they have a lot of memories together. Some memorable shenanigans were staying up late and doing a bible study together with friends, having late-night drives through Seattle playing Pokemon Go, and of course eating midnight Taco Bell. Living in an apartment and experiencing adult life together only made their relationship stronger. Diego is one of Nick's ride or dies and they will always have each other's backs.
Lauren Weed
Bridesmaid
Lauren and Jelsy met their freshman year in college when they lived across the hall from each other. On the first day of moving in Jelsy ran into Lauren's dorm room and yelled "HI NEIGHBOR!!!" Lauren hosted Friendship Tuesdays in which they would watch The Bachelor or The Bachelorette series. Let's just say because of that Jelsy is now hooked onto the Bachelor and Bachelorette series. These two could spend the whole day talking to each other about their plans to build a world filled with justice and equality. #buildyourempire
Daniel Weed
Best Man
Best Man (2/2). Because one best man wasn't enough. Daniel and Nick met at Northwest University in a class called Faith in Society. Daniel first introduced himself at an event called Improv, and from there they have not stopped hanging out. From living in a dorm together to staying up until 7 am playing non-stop Uno; to the Summer Apartments (man, there are stories there..You don't really want to know), to living in a three-person room with Diego. Daniel has been there for the ups and downs and everything in between. He is also one of Nick's ride or dies, and they will always have each other's backs!
Megan Knott
Bridesmaid
Megan and Jelsy met their freshman year of college. These two have been through many shenanigans together. From suffering through Accounting homework together to leading a Jesus and Feminism small group, these two have achieved it. One summer day, Megan and Jelsy decided to road trip down to Cannon Beach, Oregon and attend the annual Corgi Fest! They were in absolute heaven and bliss, as they swoon at the sight of a corgi. These two frolicked through beaches and beaches of corgis galore. It was probably one of the best days ever. Anytime they are together, you know it is going to be a wild time.
Jr Bunda
Groomsman
JR (6.1.5.) is one of Nicks's cousins. For all the nonfamily...yes our family uses a decimal system to keep track of who is who. JR has been a huge role model in Nick's life. They share fun memories of driving to and from church along with hanging out with their friends. JR is the type of person who you can have a deep conversation with and he will make you ponder your life (in the best way possible). JR and Nick went to the movies ALL the time, and ate so much popcorn. There was one time they went to the movies and watched Cinderella the live-action, and they were the only ones in the theater. "I am going down....I am on the ground......I am literally on the ground" (If you know, you know).
Hannah Andersen
Bridesmaid
Hannah and Jelsy met during Jelsy's junior year, and Hannah's sophomore year of college. Jelsy always admired Hannah's fashion sense. She would simply be in awe of how Hannah could create and piece together such beautiful clothing. One weekend afternoon, Hannah and their dear friend Haley, decided to introduce Jelsy to the music world of K-pop. They showed her music video after music video, and they listened to song, after song. Boy, they did not know the seed they had planted that day. Let's just say Hannah, Haley, and Jelsy dance their absolute hearts out to all the best K-pop songs whenever they possibly can.
Robson Bunda
Groomsman
Robson (6.1.4)...again... yes our family uses a decimal system. Robson is another one of Nick's cousins. If you want a chill time and just want to relax, go see Robson. They have many memories of family reunions, party's, worship team shenanigans, and of course jamming in the car together. There will always be a great time with Rob!
Haley Jones
Bridesmaid
Haley and Jelsy met during their time in college. They have had many memories fan girling over the latest K-pop news. Haley introduced Jelsy to a bubble tea place called Bo-Bae. These two have shared such joyful memories laughing and talking with their favorite Asian-fusion drink in hand. One of Jelsy’s favorite memories with Haley is when they went out on a drive together. During that drive all they did was vibe to the latest BTS (a K-pop band) song, and Jelsy felt so at peace with her dear friend. Haley recently moved to Korea, because she is a boss lady. She will not be at the wedding physically, but you bet she will be there virtually.
Nico Alvarez
Groomsman
Nico and Nick met during their time at Northwest University. Nico and Nick met at an event called Improv with Daniel and Lauren. Eventually hanging out playing video games in Nico's room. Nico was there to walk with him through the ups and downs of life. They would always playfully tease each other, support one another and challenge each other wherever life takes them. All the late night shenanigans, food, and other adventures have made many great memories with Nico and Nick.
