Wedding Party
Kristyn Costa
Maid of Honor
Kristyn is my older sister and confidant. Kristyn is passionate and the least shy person you will ever meet. We have dreamed up our wedding days for years- there is no unwatched episode of Say Yes to the Dress or Four Weddings between the two of us! Kristyn is living in Florida and I cherish our wedding planning phone calls even more now! I am so excited she will be supporting me all the way through.
Matthew Oldfather
Best Man
Matthew is my younger brother, and one of the kindest, and funniest people I know. He is currently overachieving at University of the Pacific, and is the president of his fraternity (and the Dungeons & Dragons Club). I could not ask for a better brother to have, and he truly lives up to the title "Best Man".
Jennifer Billings
Bridesmaid
Jennifer is my cousin and second older "sister" as I still have my own room in her house. I remember since childhood admiring Jennifer for her fun-loving personality and honesty. That has in no way changed and living in her house part-time during graduate school only let us grow closer. Jennifer's son is also my biggest obsession and second greatest love!
Vahe Mirikian
Groomsman
Vahe's longtime distinction of "Best Roommate Ever" promptly ended when Brittany walked into my life, but there's nothing wrong with silver! Vahe is one of my closest friends, and was my college roommate. Vahe is one of the smartest people I know, and still has the smoothest jump shot in all of La Crescenta. He now lives in Washington, D.C., where he works in international politics.
Brett Taylor
Bridesman
Aside from Stephen, Brett is my main man. We connected in high school and have supported each other throughout the time and distance. We even have made the life goal to be next door neighbors who drink their morning coffee together. Brett is very passionate about life and has huge, achievable dreams. He's my best friend and just-in-case husband who is now putting that title in retirement. Standing at my side on our big day will have to do!
Jonathon Cole Baird
Groomsman
Cole and I met in college also, even though we ran in similar circles when we were in high school. Cole is a professional videographer and editor, fellow baseball nerd, and one of my closest friends. Cole and my father both have the distinction of being both a Gael, and a Northgate Bronco, which means he is kind of a big deal in our household.
Shelby Burk
Bridesmaid
Shelby and I met at Saint Mary's and instantly connected. She is one of those people who you feel so comfortable bearing your soul to. I have no problem telling just about anything to Shelby. She's a beaut and also is just about as intelligent as it can get. I mean not everyone is destined to be a doctor. I can't wait to go through every step of this wedding with her by my side!
Brandon Bratcher
Groomsman
Brandon will probably make an inappropriate joke at the wedding, and all of you will laugh way harder than necessary. He is the funniest person I know, and also one of the most selfless. Brandon and I connected in college over our mutual admiration of the A's, and really lame jokes. He also works in politics, and lives in Moraga.
Talisha Thomas
Bridesmaid
Talisha is PART ONE of "the greatest thing that came out of grad school." She is one of the most uplifting and supportive people that I know. When I met her day one at UOP, I knew I had to be friends with her- and what a great decision that was! She supports my sassiness and always comes to me for the Italian opinion on Olive Garden. Saying I'm blessed to have her is an understatement.
Robert Thomas Mensendiek
Groomsman
I have known Thomas since kindergarten, and he (somehow) remains one of my closest friends. Thomas and I grew up playing baseball together. As kids, our other hobbies were loitering outside of the Danville Taco Bell, and messing with my little brother. Thomas attended school in Colorado, and currently works in commercial real estate.
Davina Bennett
Bridesmaid
You guessed it, Davina is the PART TWO. Talk about the most kind-hearted human I've ever met. Literally would give everything she has to a stranger. (Talisha and I have witnessed her kindness in action and then got a cry in afterward!) Davina is also a talented makeup artist and tequila shot advocate. Which means that the wedding reception is certain to be a good time.
Robert Dunbar
Groomsman
Rob is also one of my dearest friends from college, and we instantly bonded over our love for baseball. Rob is originally from Seattle, although I sometimes hold that against him when the Mariners come to town for a game. He currently lives in Los Angeles, and recently graduated with a Masters Degree from USC. He plans on working in government affairs after this summer.
Adeline Enserink
Flower Girl
Addy is the first of several baby cousins that was born. She is the most joyful and loving little girl. She has brought such happiness to myself, Stephen, and our family. I get the chills thinking of how adorable she will look on our wedding day!
Camden Billings
Ring Bearer
Camden is the second of Brittany's baby cousins. During graduate school, she lived with his parents and babysat Camden during the days. He is so playful and smart! Auntie Brittany can't wait to see her little Cam-Cam suited up on our big day!
