Wedding Party
Aviah Dufek
Maid of Honor
Aviah and I (Kimberly) have been best friends since we met at the playground on Hickam Air Force Base in 2011. Whether it be our shared love for God, the outdoors, fashion, art, books, science, or just sipping tea and chatting, there's never been a dull moment!
Michael Pace
Best Man
Michael has been one of my (Shane) best friends for about 6 years. We met at CSULB through mutual friends in similar faith-based circles. Michael is tall and handsome and plays the guitar (he's taken, ladies). You can usually find him wearing a hat. We've served together at the same church for around 5 years now too! While Michael will always be one of my best friends, he is excited to see me finally have a female Best Friend™.
Noelle Fong
Bridesmaid
Noelle and I met at UH Manoa through a campus ministry called The Navigators. I had the pleasure of getting to mentor Noelle for a year and a half, and with that a beautiful friendship arose. Noelle and I have a shared love for God, beach days, time spent being creative, and music (she's to blame for me taking a liking to k-pop lol)!
Javier Prado
Groomsman
I originally met Javier at The Navigators, a Christian ministry, at CSULB around 4 years ago. Javier is tall and handsome and loves to meditate deeply on life (he's also taken, ladies). Over time, we grew together individually, in our faiths, and as friends. Javier and I have bonded over our shared yet distinct appreciations for theology, apologetics, and philosophy. It is rare to find a friend as loyal and devoted as Javier and I'm proud to have him as a friend.
McKenzie Marner
Bridesmaid
McKenzie and I met as team leaders for The Navigator's Summer Training Program in Estes Park, CO last summer. From the day she picked me up from the airport in Denver I knew we would hit it off - and boy was I right! We've spent countless hours bonding over faith, creativity, adventures, and just doing life together.
Steven Salazar
Groomsman
Steven and I met at The Navigators at CSULB about 6 years ago. While he was originally an important role model in my life, he has become an important friend. Steven is tall, handsome, and has an infectious laugh (just married, sorry ladies). If he were a milkshake, he would be the perfect blend of casual and profound. He has taught me much about what it really means to live and to love.
Brooke Staples
Bridesmaid
Brooke and I also met as team leaders for The Navigators Summer Training Program last summer! I knew right away that I wanted to be friends with this girl, and look at us now! Our friendship quickly grew and has continued to grow as we've bonded in faith, creativity, exploring, and a shared love for baking.
Zachariah Shaw
Groomsman
While I've only known Zachariah for about a year now, he's quickly become a close friend of mine. We both work at Chick-fil-A with a shared passion for serving and loving others through faith, which we quickly bonded over. He is very tall, handsome, and looks absolutely adorable in a bowtie. I enjoy every moment I spend with him and look forward to many more!
