Wedding Party
Ryan Brisbon
Best Man
I am Sam’s best man , Ryan W Brisbon. I have known Sam since earliest days of Orchard elementary till today. Being my best friend since we’ve done so much over the years together. Football , wrestling , skating , any kind of activity a group of boys can really do ! Him and his family have been to me my own family I’ve always felt the love from them since we’ve met. Over the years our relationship and friend groups have grown and I truly can’t ask for a better friend I can call my brother . A little about me I grew up in Vacaville my entire life up till after graduation. Me and the Brisbon’s moved to Boise Idaho. Now after some time I’ve become a full time motorcycle mechanic and pursuing the dream up here. I love my Harley and the family I have up here along with my girlfriend. I enjoy jokes and time with friends and family. Friends to me are my family and I’d do anything for them. So enough of me and cheers to Sam and Laken . I love you both and am truly blessed to see these two be together forever. Laken has truly been an amazing woman in Sam’s life and I’ve watched them over the years grow and cherish each other as a couple should. I love you both so very much love Ryan .

Maid of Honor
Laken is my best friend, my sister, my kin, my closest confidant. To be her maid of honor is one of the greatest blessings of my life. I am saving my sentiments and deeper reflections for my wedding speech, but I am so incredibly excited to celebrate the eternal union of my favorite souls, and cannot wait for us all to come together under the spirit of love.

I've known Sam for quite a long time, I first met Sam when his older sister used to baby sit us together! Ever since we've been good friends, and as we've gotten older we've only grown closer. It's been an absolute honor to be able to call him my brother, and to share so many great memories with him growing up. Getting to know Laken has also been awesome, I could tell when I first started hanging out with them together how much they truly love and care for each other. They match each other's energy perfectly and bring out the best in one another. Thank you Laken for making my best friend happy and being the partner he deserves. Im incredibly grateful to be able to call Sam and Laken my friends. I'm so happy I get to be here to celebrate you both in marriage. I love yall!
Brady Wade
Bridesman
My name is Brady Wade, and I am one of Laken’s closest childhood friends. Laken and I met in Kindergarten when I had just moved to Vacaville. We hit it off as buddies, and from then on we would take dance classes together, play video games together, and became best friends for over two decades. Even as I got older, started a corporate job, and moved to Texas, Laken and I continued to grow our friendship, and even after living in different cities and states, I got to witness her grow up into the amazing woman she is today. Sam is an incredibly lucky man, and I believe he is the man for Laken. Much love to the both of you, and I can’t wait to witness and be there for your amazing next chapter.

Hi I’m Fallon! I have been friends with Laken since seventh grade, meeting in band class, and being inseparable since- even when we’ve lived thousands of miles apart! A little about me, I live in Tennessee, just outside of Nashville with my family where I am a PreK teacher. I also have an almost 2 year old daughter named Elaina! Laken and I have watched each other through all kinds of seasons of life and I cannot wait to stand by her side and watch her through this next season as a wife!

I met Sam almost two years ago, and since then he’s been one of, if not my closest ally and friend. It’s been a great pleasure knowing him and being able to see him grow up and advanced in his career. I remember meeting him and seeing how eager he was to learn the work we do, I admired that tremendously. I then met Laken, and instantly knew that they were meant for each other. I saw the true love they had for each other and how well they work together through things. They are both loving individuals. They have been so welcoming to me and I am happy to call them friends. I have relied on them to help me when I’ve been feeling down, and I will forever be greatful for them and more than happy to be a part of their court and to celebrate them. Sam and Laken thank you guys so much! I love you guys!
Maddy Bettencourt
Bridesmaid
I’m Maddy, one of Laken’s lucky bridesmaids! I’ve had the biggest honor of being able to meet Laken and Sam at the same time! We all used to work at Noah’s NY Bagels and i got to watch their relationship grow and flourish from what i think was the beginning of them really falling in love with each other. We all hung out together many times throughout the beginning stages of their relationship up to now, and it was always so much love, joy and laughter from everyone. They took me to my first ever rave recently and it was the best experience to have with them, they really know how to have fun! I also had the best experience joining them to the aftershock festival this last year and it was a blast, so many great pictures with each other to hold and remember for what great times we are capable of having! We have all made so many cherished memories together and i’m so happy they’ve stayed happy and healthy with each other all this time. They have both always been the kindest and generous people to me and i’m proud to say they are both my close friends! Being able to meet them around the time they started dating has been the most beautiful experience for me. Watching two beautiful people pick each other for life has been the highlight of my existence! They are both the kindest people and i can’t wait to see where their future of being married takes them!
