Courtney & Tyler
Wedding Party
Juliet Olsen
Maid of Honor
Juliet wears many hats: best friend, confidant, sister, therapist...but you might know her best as the co-creator of the official "#DrinksWithCourt" brand. We first met in the third grade when we both had some really questionable side bangs and bonded over the idea that we should sing Taylor Swift for the school talent show. We've come a long way since then. Juliet is the kind of friend that would drop anything to be there for me. I truly cannot imagine saying "I do" without her by my side.
Garrett Carskadon
Best Man
Garrett is the smartest dude I know, so it was a no-brainer that he was always going to be my best man at my wedding. From building computers to solving the world's engineering problems, he makes me a proud brother...but I'll never let him forget who won more driveway basketball games growing up.
Brooke Osborn
Bridesmaid
Brooke officially became a member of the Osborn family when she married my brother last year and I was so thrilled to finally be getting the sister I always wanted!! But if I'm being honest...I considered Brooke to be my sister long before she married my brother. She has always been there for me and is the best role model I could ever ask for. Family vacations are way more fun now that she's around! We can always count on Brooke to bring the laughs and smiles. I am so happy she will be by our side as we finally add Tyler to the infamous Osborn family group chat.
Jared Osborn
Groomsman
Meeting Courtney's older brother for the first time was a little daunting at first, because I know we share the same values in being a protective big brother. But it didn't take long for the similarities to be brought out, like Blazers basketball, grilling Tri-Tip, and enjoying days on the lake. Now he's going to be the older brother I never had, and I'm lucky that he's up for the task.
Sydney Carskadon
Bridesmaid
I first met Sydney on mine and Tyler's first "hometown" date in Wilsonville! Being a little sister myself...I knew how special it was to get the approval of the little sis so, naturally, I was so nervous to meet her! The nerves all went away as soon as I realized how much we had in common. Sydney has the sweetest heart and I already consider her my sister. I am so excited to have her by our side as we start our forever!
Jacob Larsen
Groomsman
We grew up on the same street and are now neighbors in Bend. I don't think Courtney ever thought she would meet someone else who has to watch every Blazer game, but luckily for her, we watch together as much as possible. Whether we're visiting a brewery or floating on the Deschutes River, Jacob always brings the good times and great wine.
Clarissa Tolan
Bridesmaid
Clarissa and I met freshman year of college on the Oregon Dance Team. Living together our junior/senior year, we bonded over bachelor and wine nights. But once our boyfriends (the Tylers) met...it was never just the two of us again. Clarissa & I would actually come home from dance practices to the Tylers playing video games in our living room! I am so thankful that no matter how much distance is between us, she is always only one call away. Clarissa is one of my very best friends and I am so excited to have her by my side on mine & Tyler's special day!
Tyler Young
Groomsman
Knowing I was dating a dancer in college, I was prepared to attend the performances and events to support Courtney. At one of the first performances I went to, I saw another dance team boyfriend there and was relieved that I wasn't alone. After introducing ourselves and finding out we share a great name and too much toe hair, Tyler and I quickly became the kind of friends that would drop everything to help the other execute a dumb idea to perfection.
Miranda Moore
Bridesmaid
Miranda and I first met through her boyfriend (Zac) but I instantly knew we would be best friends the second she told me she played water polo. We bonded over going to date dashes, duck games, and mimosas (always mimosas). Now Miranda is in law school, so we share the struggle of our friends switching between the two of us for "legal advice." She is one of the most genuine and beautiful people inside and out and I am so lucky to call her one of my best friends. I couldn't imagine saying "I do" without her by my side!
Zac Wennberg-Smith
Groomsman
I first met Zac during junior year at the University of Oregon. We immediately clicked, and grew even closer through flag football games, tailgates in the backyard, and Buffett tunes. He's the first one to offer his help when times are tough, and I know those type of friends don't come around often. Plus, I'll need a good eye doctor down the road so I better be good to him.
Hayden Osborn
Bridesmaid
Hayden is my little cousin and even though we have never lived close to one another, our relationship has always remained solid. A few years ago, Hayden asked me to be her confirmation sponsor and it was truly one of the greatest honors I have ever had. I have loved watching her grow into the beautiful lady she is today and I am so excited she will be by my side as I say "I do." Plus, we can always count on Hayden to bring the spice and sass to any family event!
Tyler Martin
Groomsman
At this point, we just need to make sure Courtney marries the right Tyler. We first met as phenoms on the Grey Godzillas youth soccer team, and continued to stick together throughout our childhood. Between whiffle ball games at the park, boating on the river, or skipping high school dances to play Call of Duty, Tyler was one of the guys I would do everything with growing up. He's always been someone I knew would be standing up there with me on my wedding day, even if he's disappointed that my bachelor trip won't be in his native Canada. See you in SLO, eh?
Kelsie Kaiser
Bridesmaid
Well most importantly, I have Kelsie to thank for introducing me to Tyler!! Her and I met through the Oregon Dance Team freshman year and she is truly a one of a kind gal. My first impression of her was....well she had a pet mouse in her dorm named Phoebe. It didn't take long before she became one of my best friends as we bonded over our love for country music, cowboys, and cheap wine. I can always count on Kels to bring the party and make everyone laugh.
Spencer Stauffer
Groomsman
Another friend since childhood, Spencer and I both moved to Central Oregon and have continued to share awesome times together. We enjoy skiing on Mt. Bachelor together and watching the Blazers - until they routinely let us down at the end of every season. As someone who tagged a full-grown cougar on a hunting trip, Spencer thrives in wild environments...so he should feel right at home at this wedding!
Alex Irby
Bridesmaid
Babysitter? Friend? Sister? I don't even know how to classify Alex! She has been my biggest role model throughout life and I am so thankful for her. We first met when we danced together back in my baby days. She became our family babysitter...but she was not your basic "sit on the couch and watch a movie" babysitter - she always brought the fun (and the best Mac n Cheese). Alex has been there for me in every milestone of my life and I can't imagine my wedding day without her by my side!
Josh Hight
Groomsman
There were a lot of times growing up when I thought Josh's love for the Lakers would eventually annoy me out of a friendship with him. However, he's made up for that flaw in plenty of ways, including asking me to be his best man. Josh is one of the brightest and down-to-earth guys I know, and he's shown me what it takes to keep a marriage strong with his wife.
Stassi Irby
Flower Girl
Can you say CUTEST FLOWER GIRL EVER?! When we were thinking about who we would have as a flower girl it wasn't even a question that Stassi would be it! She is the daughter of Alex & Justin Irby and she is honest proof of that God is a miracle worker. We love Stassi with all of our hearts and feel so blessed to be able to watch her grow up. Keep your eyes peeled for the cutest flower girl coming down the isle on July 30th!!
