Wedding PartyWedding Party
CindyCindy
Maid of Honor
Circa 2004, Cindy and I (Ashley) met in 4th grade as the new kids. Our childhood was filled with memories of walking home from school together, jumping for hours on the trampoline, and making jars of origami stars. Our friendship has only grown and flourished over the years and I couldn't imagine anyone else as my MoH. We will always agree that The Hot Chick is one of the greatest movies of all time and will continue to quote it till we are 90 years old. If you see Cindy, topics of conversation include: Her dogs Miffy (or is it Moofy?) That time she ate too much Foodland ahi poke in Hawaii
AnastasiaAnastasia
Maid of Honor
I (Sam) first met Anastasia in elementary school and from there it was history. Stasia and I would pick those tiny white flowers and blades of grass when we were supposed to be participating in track and field during P.E. class. She is the first one I text or call when something happens in my life (along with Ashley) whether good or bad. We could not have gotten through all of the wedding planning and stress without Stasia's help - I couldn't have asked for a better Maid of Honor and best friend! If you see Anastasia, conversation topics include: Actually, she doesn't want to be talked to, but if you must... Gardening Australian Cattle Dogs That time in the UK where we ate a weird raisin dish and tried to wash it down with unpleasant sparkling water
TravisTravis
Bridesman
Known him since I (Ashley) was born. Can be a fun time, so long as competition isn't involved. Most supportive person in my life, but also likely just coming for the open bar. If you see Travis, conversation topics could include: Ziggy Testing him on how much he actually learned through his wine course Lindsey Lohan (specifically in Parent Trap or Freaky Friday)
ShannonShannon
Bridesmaid
Shannon and I (Sam) met in 3rd grade and we have been friends ever since. Some may say we are more like sisters because of our bickering ways. Most thought we would murder each other if we roomed together in college, but here we are today. I have to admit, it did come close when Ashley and I would study until 3am in her room. #Nnonproblems If you see Shannon, conversation topics include: My nickname, Nnon Do you consider cheesecake a pie or a cake? That time she got sunburnt while studying in her dorm room. If she had to get rid of any carb in her life what would it be (and she HAS to choose one)
ToriTori
Bridesmaid
My (Ashley) tall, tall, cat-loving, loyal friend who I have known since high school. Tori knows how to find the best food spots and concert events. Thank you for being such a supportive friend to me! If you see Tori, conversation topics could include: Her cat, Penny Traveling Being outdoors Reality TV Overpriced Cocktails
TylerTyler
Bridesman
Tyler, the classic middle child sibling. He is probably most excited that our wedding colors are green and the fact that he gets a new suit and tie out of this. He will occasionally make me laugh more than others. If you see Tyler, conversation topics include: His new married life with Sophia Anime or Japan Pickleball That one time he attempted to set his wedding date to the weekend before ours :)
AlyssaAlyssa
Bridesmaid
Alyssa is my (Ashley) outgoing, smart, little (but actually very tall) cousin! Bonded from the moment baby Alyssa threw up on me while carrying her down the Las Vegas strip. If you see Alyssa, conversation topics include: Her puppy, Koa Her new nursing job Supermoons What is the best utensil?
AustinAustin
Bridesman
Austin is my (Sam) little brother and definitely knows how to have a good time. I am sure he will appreciate the open bar at the wedding. I cant wait to see some of his dance moves caught on camera. He would most likely prefer to go to a baseball game across the street instead of taking wedding pictures :) If you see Austin, conversation topics include: Sports Sports involving Ohio Sports with balls Making those points (in sports!) Judo, which is a sport, but is also his dogs name
ErinErin
Bridesmaid
We met Erin at St. George's University in Grenada. Sure, you could say we learned a lot, but the real memories were made while feeding campus cats late at night after drinking multiple bottles of fruity wine while "watching" the bachelorette. We could always count on Erin to encourage drunk swimming in the ocean followed by ugly sitting on the beach talking about our feelings post-finals. We couldn't ask for a better island auntie (along with Kaylene) to Titan and Arlo. If you see Erin, conversation topics include: Billy The time she cried over chicken wings DRUNK SWIMMING Fabio
KayleneKaylene
Bridesmaid
(And Officiant!) Listen, we (Ashley) knew Kaylene as "potential best friend" before we even knew her name. Without force, Kaylene became just that, a best friend, the person who would call us out for actually showing up to class (when mandatory), and the one who will be doing us the honor of marrying us. Everyone clear the tables - this lady needs some space for dancing! If you see Kaylene, conversation topics include: Her cat, Katty The first time she met Arlo Potential best friend Mixing alcohol resulting in balcony time Do NOT mention: clam chowder
Sam and AshleySam and Ashley
Brides
We guess it was meant to be - Sam was supposed to go to Cal Poly Pomona and Ashley to UC Santa Cruz - but we both ended up crossing the Pacific Ocean to attend the University of Hawaii at Manoa where we met in Biology 102. We started as biology lab partners, and soon became best friends and eventually, lifetime partners. I mean, if we could survive Veterinary School together and turn it into another adventure, life and marriage will be the most amazing adventure of all. We cant wait to share this next adventure with our favorite people - San Diego here we come!
