Wedding Party
Harold Montgomery
Groomsman
Harold is cousin and big brother for 50+ years who lives in Southfield, Michigan with his lovely wife Sherrie. A practicing CPA, Harold is a Founding Member of Montgomery & Company, PLLC established in 1985. Harold and Sherrie have two adult children and 3 grandkids. Harold has been a rock to my family in so many ways over the years and has never missed a significant event - 2 HS graduations, 2 college graduations, a surprise party, 2 weddings, and now our wedding. Thanks for being the consummate big brother in more ways than I can write here.
Stan Paine
Groomsman
Stan is my brother-in-law of 20 years now, married to my sister Carolyn. A native son of St. Louis, Missouri; Stan joined the family in 2006. Stan is a retired driver for Metro Transit in St. Louis after 35 years of service; we celebrated his retirement last summer. Stan is also a tenor in Masters Touch, a Local Professional Group of 45 years out of St Louis. Stan and Carolyn are model grandparents to 4 granddaughters, also known as "the squad." Stan has been a rock of a brother-in-law over the years, and we are all grateful for his big heart.
Soma Sar
Bridesmaid
Soma is my fourth oldest sister, and growing up, everyone thought we were twins! She’s been by my side through thick and thin, my constant source of strength and comfort. Known as the "Mother Teresa" of our family, Soma is incredibly kind, compassionate, and always sees the best in others. She has a love for the outdoors and a talent for capturing beautiful moments with just her phone. I couldn’t have asked for a more caring and supportive sister.
Jenn Holloway
Bridesmaid
Jenn is one of my amazing friends from our group we lovingly call “The 8 Packs” a name that started when the six of us met at the YMCA in Zumba and yoga classes. Since then, we’ve grown into a close-knit crew. Jenn is incredibly talented and wears many hats: she’s an educator, plant lover, athlete, gifted pianist, and artist. She’s the creative spark behind our fun group art projects, and her sense of humor and kindness make her someone everyone loves to be around.
Sherrill Miller
Bridesmaid
Sherrill is another amazing member of my “8 Packs” friend group. We first met at the YMCA during a Zumba class, where she now a Zumba instructor at the Everett Y. Like me, Sherrill is also in education and brings so much strength, energy, and wit to our circle of friends. She’s an avid hiker and outdoor adventurer. When we hiked the Mighty Five in Utah, I could barely keep up with her! She has an adventurous spirit and sharp sense of humor.
Micah Chor
Alternative Escort
Micah, my beloved middle son, will have the special honor of walking me down the aisle. He’s currently pursuing his Bachelor of Science in Computer Science while also serving as a regional manager for the popular bubble tea company, Happy Lemon. I’m incredibly proud of his drive, dedication, and the heart he puts into everything he does.
Brian Larson
Groomsman
Brian has been a true friend for over 25 years. Our bond grew as our daughters went through grade school together and our families became close. A graduate of UW (a fact I continue to overlook), Brian spent four decades as a sales management executive in the wine industry. He has a genuine heart for building relationships and leaving no one behind—even once taking in a student in need during his coaching tenure. One of the first supporters of my school board journey, I remain grateful beyond words for his loyalty. Now retired, Brian stays busy with environmental issues, volunteering, and playing pickleball. He hasn't convinced me to get on the court yet, but if anyone could, it’s the consummate friend who truly epitomizes family and caring. He and his wife Annette, also retired from the wine industry, are the consummate host for all things sports and the annual holiday bash; Annette is the creative one by far. Thanks for all you have been and done.
