Bo & Rylie
Wedding Party
Sara
Maid of Honor
Where do I even start with this girl.... She's been my best friend for over 20 years. We first became friends around our senior year of high school, but when we both ended up in Eugene OR going to college, that's when we really started getting close. We were roommates in our first apartment together, where we learned how to live on potatoes and top ramen for a month after spending all our money on concert tickets because....priorities!! We've had so many adventures together, made more memories than I could possibly count, and have had some of the deepest belly laughs, the kind that hurt in the BEST way! We can go months without seeing each other, and when we finally do, it's as if no time has passed at all. I am so thankful to have her standing next to me on my most special day! -Rylie
Ryan
Bridesmaid
My ride or die.....my sister! We seriously couldn't be more different from each other, but at the end of the day she's the person I know would be there for me no matter what. We grew up camping and fishing and swimming in the creek, and our childhood was never lacking adventure. If you asked her she'd probably tell you I was a brat when I was a kid, but she was no angel herself. Ask her about the time she threw a knife at me, or how she almost set the house on fire playing with candles. But don't believe any of her stories about me....they are all lies ;) My sister might be a little hippie, and she might sing to chickens, and she might always be late, but she's my sister and I love her just as she is and I couldn't imagine not having her standing next to me on my wedding day. -Rylie
Sarah
Bridesmaid
Sarah and I became friends 5 years ago when we both started a new job at the same office. She was quiet and shy, and I was neither of those things and so naturally we became fast friends! I basically walked up to her and told her we should be friends and that I wanted to go on a trip to the coast. So we planned it and we were road tripping to the beach the following weekend. Our bond as friends happened so fast and so easily, and over the years she has become more of a sister than a friend. She's never afraid to tell me when I'm wrong, or challenge me to be better and I will forever cherish this about her. She is one of the most special women that I know, and I feel extremely blessed that she is standing beside me on on the happiest day of my life. -Rylie
Halle
Bridesmaid
This girl is so incredibly special to me. Halle made me an auntie for the very first time, and from the first moment I saw her I was in love. I can remember watching countless episodes of Dora the Explorer and The Wiggles with her and if that isn't love I don't know what is. Have you watched those shows? They are brutal. I have gotten to watch Halle grow from a sweet little girl, to a kind, smart and beautiful woman. She has been a grown up since she was 5 years old and became a big sister. She's the most motherly non-mom I've ever met, making her an incredible big sister. She is thoughtful, compassionate, goofy and one of my very favorite people in the whole world. I knew without a doubt I wanted her standing next to me at my wedding! -Rylie
Christie
Bridesmaid
Christie and I became friends as two disgruntled employees working for the worlds worst dentist office. We bonded over our mutual hatred for the poor management, and literally kept each other sane from day to day working quite possibly the worst job either of us have ever had. From there, our friendship grew into camping and hiking adventures, and nights singing karaoke at dive bars. We always have so much fun when we get to hang out, laughing and laughing until we cry. Christie is the type of friend that everyone needs at least one of..... always down for an adventure! She isn't afraid to try new things, and she challenges me to do the same. I am so excited to have her be a part of the wedding:) -Rylie
Cole
Best Man
Cole Ray Mauch....the LIFE of every party!! Cole is Bo's son, and everyone's favorite kid. When it came to Bo choosing his best man, it was a no brainer picking Cole. They are 2 peas in a pod and have so many similarities it's scary. While I wasn't around to watch Bo grow up, being around Cole makes me feel like I get a glimpse of Bo as a kid, they are so close to being the same person. Cole is a sweet, kind, sensitive, and hilarious kid, and I feel like I won the stepson lottery with this one. I am so excited I get to be his bonus mom, and I will spend my whole life making sure he knows how loved he truly is. -Rylie
Dustin
Groomsman
Dustin is my brother, and my long time built in best friend. Growing up as kids, we did A LOT of stupid things...For instance, I can remember the time we stood in a field shooting arrows into the sky waiting to see how close the arrow landed next to us without moving. There was the time at the family farm where we wrecked the 3 wheelers in the ditch, or when we snuck mom's minivan out in the middle of the night by pushing it out of the driveway and down the road before starting it and taking off. The stories are endless, and many of them were not so legal, so I'll just say we had a lot of fun! Honestly, I have to say he is my best friend, and I know I can always count on him! He's here as my honorary Best Man, because Cole was first in line for the role. -Bo
Owen
Groomsman
Owen is my cousin, but honestly, we grew up more like brothers...except we never fought like brothers. In fact, I can't remember one time that we ever actually fought. I DO remember one time when we were kids, I went over to Owen's house and he was there working on his little dirt bike and testing it out in the little alley behind the house. Well, I decided I needed to try it out and when I took off, the throttle got stuck on me and I supermanned on the bike and eventually I crashed...obviously. I did a lot of stupid stuff as a kid, and Owen was there for a lot of it! When we weren't crashing dirt bikes, we were out fishing or hunting with his dad Todd. When it came time to pick my groomsmen, I knew I wanted Owen as part of my crew. -Bo
Daniel
Groomsman
Daniel and I have been friends for over 20 years. We met through my cousin Owen, and eventually our families became close friends as well. If I wasn't hanging out at his house, chances are he was over and we were hanging out at my house. He is my brother from another mother! I did a lot of stupid shit growing up, a lot of it not legal, and a lot of it are stories I'll never tell and only the people that were there will know about..... and Daniel was probably there for every one of those stories! On the weekends we were sneaking out on Saturday nights to parties, and still show up for church on Sundays. He is truly my second brother, and it was a no brainer having him standing next to me at my wedding. -Bo
Eddie
Groomsman
Eddie and I became friends a little over 10 years ago after getting drunk as shit at a party and deciding it was a good idea to BBQ some burgers. We ate those burgers like they were the best thing we had ever tasted, only to realize when we went inside that they were basically raw! During our party years, every drunk weekend ended with Eddie passing out yelling 'MERICA' in his sleep....EVERY.TIME. I have a lot of great memories with Eddie, most of them I shouldn't share...but ask me at the wedding after a few drinks and I probably will. He has become one of my best friends and great memories are made whenever he's around. I'm honored that he'll be standing next to me when I get married. -Bo
