Matron of Honor
Melissa is married to my brother, Ray! I have known her since I was 13 years old. Melissa is one of the best things to ever happen to our family! She is patient, kind, and hilarious! I think I have cried laughing with her more than anyone else in my life. She is so fun. Melissa is someone I can spend a week with and never get tired of. We do an annual Disney trip, just the two of us! She is also the BEST mom to my niece and nephew.
Best Man
Drew tried out for the CWU golf team and kicked everyone's butt. I knew right away that I needed to be friends with him and have him on the team. We came to find out that we had a few common friends from High School. Drew was always my first invite when I had a spot open to golf, and then I moved away. Drew is also a world-class wiffle ball pitcher on the Northern Nighhawks of the AWA.

I always love to say that both of my sister-in-laws are the sisters I never had! Tucker is married to my brother, Wyatt. She is also someone who is exactly what we needed in our family! I have also known her since I was 14. Tucker is very kind, loyal, and protective of those she loves. She will drop everything to help someone she cares about. Her work ethic is very admirable. I can always call her for advice. I love spending time with Tucker. She is an amazing mom to my nephew!

My PIC! Elijah was one of the Resident Assistants in my dorm, my freshman year at CWU. Elijah and I worked together at Suncadia, Tumble Creek, and The Summit at Snoqualmie. Elijah is one of those people who is good at everything! Trying to keep up with him while snowboarding is not an easy task. Elijah is also a very skilled woodworker in Boise, ID. Check out his work on his Instagram @e.b.woodworks

Amber is my ride or die! With over 11 years of friendship, she has been a steadfast friend through all of the ups and downs. We met in high school and bonded immediately. We are both nurses, we both love to read, and we know how to have a good time! Amber and I lived together when we were 21, and it was a blast! One of our favorite things to do together is country line dancing. We are always on the same wavelength, and she is so easy to be around!

My first brother. I've followed Ethan from Preschool all the way through College. Having your older brother at College together was great because he had the car and was also old enough to buy cold beverages. Ethan is a low-key guy who randomly got insanely good at Volleyball and Softball in college. He still enjoys competing in these and has won a few softball tournaments. He also taught himself how to play the organ so he could carry on the tradition at our grade school (which he is a teacher at now) on the last day of school of singing "Take me out to the ball game".
Bridesmaid
I have always called Lexi my SOUL-SISTER! We met through a mutual friend and were paired together as roommates freshman year of college. The moment I met her, I knew she was going to be one of my best friends. She is the kindest person I know. Her cheesy humor will make a room full of people laugh. While we were roommates, I introduced her to Terry (my bonus brother). They have been married for almost 4 years and have a handsome son together!

My first little brother. Wyatt was always a pain in our butt's. He was the brother who kept poking the bear, and sometimes it would go too far. I like to think that we toughened him up for when he was the smallest person on the soccer field, but also one of the best on the field. He was always very competitive when we would play wiffle ball or basketball in the front yard. Wyatt has caught the golf bug, and it's been fun to see him deal with the ups and downs of the game. If you ever need someone to play music, Wyatt is the guy to call. His taste in music is all over the place, in a great way.

The surprise little brother. I still remember the day my mom told everyone we were getting another sibling. We didn't know if we were going to have a brother or a sister until he was born. We were happy that it was another brother, but he didn't know what he was coming into. Having a brother 10 years younger than me was actually really fun! Watching him get really good at baseball and then finding a love for basketball and soccer was super fun as an older brother. I was able to be his basketball coach for a couple of years in grade school, which I made sure to bring my best Bobby Knight mentality to. Kyle is now the last Granlund to graduate from O'Dea after having one of us there for 14 of the last 16 years.
