Wedding Party
Stacey Miyahara
Matron of Honor
We met 2005, Freshman year at UW in an elevator over a shared love of dance, musical theater and root beer floats. We met when we had just dipped our toe into adulthood and have truly grown up together
Elise Wilkenson
Maid of Honor
Elise and I met in ASL class in 2009. I was the quiet girl who was always "sick" (read: exhausted from working 3 jobs, I missed quite a few classes). She was the fun one who was always laughing. It was just a matter of time...it didn't take long to realize we were meant to be friends
Kelsi Auld
Bridesmaid
I met Kelsi in 2017, she and Jeff are pretty attached :) I knew that I was getting the real deal when I met Jeff, but I didn't count on gaining the sister I had always wanted
Paula Ahlbin
Bridesmaid
I also met Paula in 2009 in ASL class. Paula was (and still is) the hilarious, motherly presence that we all needed. I can't count how the amount of times she cooked me chicken and veggies, and introduced me to every Costco item I never knew I needed in my life. Belly laughter is guaranteed with this woman
Alaina Robertson
Bridesmaid
We met in college through Stacey (2006/07?), but really solidified our friendship over a mutual love for board games, food, and Disney. A love that only grows as we plan our epic return to the Happiest Place on Earth one day
Mandy Pfarr
Bridesmaid
We met in 1998 when I moved into the neighborhood and forced Mandy into a friendship. I loved that Mandy had a dog and a trampoline, Mandy was confused by my smiley-face jean shorts and boundless energy. We always had a great time
Laura Skobin
Bridesmaid
We also met in 1998! Laura is only trailing behind Mandy as my oldest childhood friend by about 6 days because she was on vacation when I moved into the neighborhood. She also had a trampoline, cats and a dog; SO very exciting. Oh the stories we could (and won't) tell
Mikey Brooks
Best Man
Mikey and I have been friends for more than 20 years. We met in kindergarten and spent most of our weekends as children at each others houses. We were also inseparable for most of our teen years as well playing video games, going to concerts, or just driving around Ballard. It is amazing to see where we are now and still be a major part of each others lives and growing families. He has been around for a lot of fun (sometimes embarrassing) moments in my life and hopefully doesn't share (too many of) them at the wedding.
Matt Hobart
Groomsman
I first met Matt at the dinner where I was meeting Sam's parents. We have found our shared interest in music and video games over the past couple years. Sharing a beer with Matt and Steve has become a requirement at all the family gatherings.
Bradley Alfi
Groomsman
Bradley and I met in the Fairhaven dorms at Western Washington University in our freshman year of college back in 2007. During those college years we would meet up and play video games, pick up football, or go grab drinks at the bars. We ended up living together a couple years after college in the Northgate area playing softball at Greenlake and hosting game nights with friends.
David Alfi
Groomsman
As David and Bradley are twins, I met David in the same dorms at Western. After college he invited me to play on his company softball team which led to a long tenure as a Bader Martin teammate. When we can, we try to find our way down into Edmonds for a drink or get a group together to watch a Seahawk game or a board game night.
Justin Schramm
Groomsman
I met Justin on a random afternoon in Mikey's basement. Over the years it was the three of us hanging out watching movies, playing video games, or "getting into trouble". I always love spending time with him and his family whenever I can.
Kevin Storm
Groomsman
I have played softball with Kevin for about the last 4 years. I initially started playing with David and Bradley at Greenlake during the summers, but over the years Kevin and I started playing for another team that Kevin managed. In 2019 I was in need of a new job and his company was looking for an apprentice. The stars were aligned and I was brought in and have been working on my new career path ever since as an electrician.
