Wedding Party
Kristin Bolo-Starks
Matron of Honor
Noreen was the most excited “ate” aka big sister when Kristin was born. With an uncanny ability to provide comedic relief in the family, she is the life of every party. You can expect she’s the first one on the dance floor and the last one to leave.
Bryce Lee
Best Man
Bryce and Stephen are brothers and know each other's strengths and (especially) weaknesses better than anyone else. One day they were shooting BB guns and bottle rockets in the forest, the next they were electrical-experts with jobs and loved ones in new cities. How they ever got out of their parents house and found beautiful brides will always be a mystery. But no matter the distance, they've always kept in touch and made time to visit.
Camille Bolo
Maid of Honor
Noreen's youngest sister, Camille, is a ramen connoisseur and an unapologetic sneakers/shoes fan. They are currently flat mates and will truly miss living together, or at least most parts of it ;)
Ben Quick
Groomsman
Ben and Stephen first met in high school where they first solidified their friendship while skipping school to go on an impromptu fishing trip. They've remained friends ever since and for many years passed the time by playing music together. Now living several hours apart, they regularly keep in touch over the phone and by playing games together online.
Janice Gail Dy-Van Royen
Bridesmaid
Janice and Noreen formed a strong bond during a girl’s trip back in 2013. She’s one of the most compassionate people you’ll ever meet. At the wedding, you'll find Janice taking Instagram photos for anyone who asks (seriously, you can trust she'll capture your best angles).
Tim Shell
Groomsman
Tim and Stephen grew up going to the same church and have been friends since before they can remember. After high school, when Stephen went to Pullman and Tim went to Spokane, they regularly made the drive to hang out together on the weekends. Visiting each other now when they can, they'll take it as an opportunity to get outdoors, enjoy a show, or just catch up over drinks.
Bevs Carian
Bridesmaid
Beverly and Noreen share a connection with the island of Palawan like no other (Sorry, Stephen). They have taken four trips together, with more surely on the way. When she isn’t busy making dreams come true, Bevs loves traveling and cherishing the moments spent with loved ones.
Peter Jahn
Groomsman
Peter and Stephen first met in high school and found they shared an ability to talk about anything and everything. Their famous late-night walks lasted for hours and miles and often left people wondering if they were ok. To this day, all they truly need when meeting up is a good meal to talk over, unless their favorite musician is back in town, in which case the talking will have to wait until after the show.
Verna Buschjost
Bridesmaid
At 15, Verna and Noreen found out their moms shared a secret from when they were in college (sorry, but it's staying a secret). They've held a few of their own and Verna has been a part of so many of Noreen's best memories. It’s only fitting that she’ll join Noreen as a bridesmaid on her greatest adventure yet.
Eli Ehrhart
Groomsman
Eli and Stephen first met on the day Eli was born (though Eli likely doesn't remember). As his uncle, Stephen has done his best to teach Eli all the ways of being witty and good at video games, and in return, Eli is now threatening to surpassed him in both traits. Stephen is now keeping a close eye on Eli out of fear he'll become the tallest one in the family too (that is, until Matthew grows up). As members of the same family there's no getting rid of each other, though deep deep down (deeper than they care to express to each other) they would never want to.
Kat Jaingue
Bridesmaid
Kat and Noreen have known each other since 5th grade, and were neighbors back in the Philippines. While away from family, they celebrated Christmas and New Year’s together. Kat and Noreen have been there for each other through all of life's big moments.
Ana Parry
Bridesmaid
Ana and Noreen met in the States through Camille. She and her husband Andy are now practically members of the family, and they even helped Stephen execute his proposal in their own home! With a warm heart and friendly smile, Ana is always there to lend a helping hand and offer support.
