Wedding Party
Jacqueline Swanson
Officiant
Jacqueline and Noah met in 2017 while doing a play together at Spokane Falls Community College. Immediately, they hit it off and have been constants in each other's lives. Jacqueline has been a voice of guidance, support, and love in Noah's life from day one, and he wouldn't want anyone else to marry him and Bea. Bea met Jacque shortly after she began dating Noah in 2019, and immediately fit into the established friend group. Jacque moved to San Diego in the summer of 2021, but has remained one of the most favorite parts of our lives. We cannot thank her enough for her love and support she has put forth with our ceremony.
Eliot Drushella
Best Man
Eli and Noah met through a play at Spokane Falls Community College as well, connecting over coffee and movies, while leaning on each other to navigate emotional growth. Noah has looked up to Eli for years now, and has gone to him time and time again for advice, laughs and music recommendations. Eli quickly became very meaningful to Noah, and pushed Noah to tell Bea how he felt about her for the very first time. Noah and Bea cannot imagine their lives without Eli, and his beautiful partner, Madds.
Maddison Fernandez
Bridesmaid
Madds became a huge part of Bea and Noah's lives in 2019, soon after they started dating. Maddison joined the established friend group when Bea did, and they bonded over that in addition to countless other hobbies and passions. Madds is one of the kindest, warmest souls either Noah or Bea have encountered. We thank her tremendously for her support, love, wit, and for always seeing the best in people.
Mackenzie McNeilly
Bridesmaid
Being Noah's little sister, Kenzie has always been skeptical of his partners. When she met Bea for the first time, she saw how genuinely happy Bea made Noah, and that all melted away. Kenzie lived with Bea and Noah for a year, and she developed a friendship with Bea, making Noah incredibly happy. We are so excited to have her share in our joy for our wedding day. Through every up and down, Kenzie has always supported us and looked up to us and our love.
Oliver Chase
Groomsman
Oliver and Noah met in 2013, and through every hurdle they've gone through together, they remain as close as ever. In the almost 10 years they've been friends, they've been roommates, enemies, work out partners, coworkers, and brothers. Oliver has accepted and loved Bea like a sister since she has been with Noah, and we both love him and thank him from the bottom of our hearts for being such a compassionate, kind presence in our lives.
Samantha Finch
Groomswoman
While Sammy and Noah grew up going to Camp Sweyolakan together, they reunited in 2016 for their first summer on staff, spending the next few years leading youth through camping and life. Noah and Sammy, like all friends, have had their fair share of issues, but one thing that will never change is the amount of love, respect and admiration they have for one another. Noah is so happy that Sammy and her partner Jess have made it over to celebrate Noah and Bea's wedding day.
