Shannon & Stuart
Wedding Party
Stephanie Rose Read
Maid of Honor
My sissy-poo, my twin born 3 years early, my long distance wardrobe buddy. Who knew when we were kids bugging each other and putting on Disney plays in the basement, that we would grow up to be each other's Maid of Honor? I wouldn't have it any other way. You are such an incredible sister and friend to me, a huge support, source of advice, duet singing partner, and always easy to have a frikking blast with! You know me through and through, and I would need way more than this paragraph to explain all the reasons you hold such a special place in my heart and my life. #fristershipforever
Scott Cohen
Best Man
As the oldest Cohen Kid, it’s teased Scott takes the blame for everything, and when it comes to blazing an amazing trail for all of us to follow it’s true. An amazing athlete his heart is healthy more than just physically; he’s one of the biggest and most consistent volunteers I know. Always looking out for others, and with some legit “finger toes”, Scott has always been there to reach out for the rescue. I am stoked to have him as my best man on this special day.
Tijera Johnson
Bridesmaid
We Fire!!! From our humble beginnings in a Burger King, our bond has grown and I am so honored and glad to count you as my sister. If I ever need a mall buddy, someone to talk to about post-apocalypse planning, a quick adventure in the PNW, or just a good hug, you are my go-to girl. I cannot imagine my life without your humor, passion, and love...of knives.
Spencer Cohen
Groomsman
My middle older brother is a stand up guy who can do stand up comedy. Spencer’s always been extremely creative. He’s created countless original songs that still make us laugh even 20 years later. From living together in Washington, to scootering the busy streets of Bangkok, Thailand(Spencer’s 2nd time on a scooter by the way) any time with Spence is a fun adventure. There to always share great advice and having recently added some serious muscle with his Thor diet; he is surely worthy of wielding Mjolnir itself. Couldn’t be more glad to have him by side on my wedding day.
Nora "Bees!" Ornstein
Bridesmaid
My Shakespeare enthusiast and tea loving friend, what would I do without you? Thank goodness I randomly signed up for the literary magazine, because there we became friends over a mutual passion for a piece of duck themed artwork. (Trust me everyone, it is inspiring.) Now, many road trips, long debates, and an incredible amount of Coffee Bean beverages later, I am glad to say you are one of my very best friends, and my wedding would not be complete without you by my side.

Dan "The Man" Williams
Groomsman
Dan is a great oldest brother to his siblings and a cousin I admire. No matter the activity Dan is always ready to hop into action and help. His early and shared love of Batman sparked me on into the world of superheroes. An adept snowboarder, surfer, and meat griller he’s a true guy’s guy with a beard so manly it just makes sense. I’ve always been able to talk with Dan and feel very lucky to have him as a friend, cousin, and groomsmen.
Lien Luong
Bridesmaid
Some friendships are born of happy times, some of shared struggle...oh man, was nursing school a bit of both! I am so glad that during our first clinicals we danced together in the halls, and I found out you weren't too cool after all (she's a nerd like me)! From ComicCon to boy talk, I know you have my back, and even living a state apart won't stop us from being in each other's lives forever! (remember me when you're IG famous)
Joely Poely Ravioli Williams
Groomsman
Whether it’s with witty humor or an intense interest to listen and connect; cousin Joel is always ready to put a smile on your face. You can’t help but feel better because he’s around. Some of his jokes and lines bring a smile to my face even when he’s not around. At nearly 6’4” his drive is as big as his body is long and I know he’s going to accomplish great things. So happy to have him as a fellow groomsmen on this amazing day.
Suzan Arasheban
Bridesmaid
Friends since middle school, we've grown up together from baby-faced Nighthawks all the way to Bruin alumni! Suzan is such a warm-hearted person whom I can always count on to have a fun and silly time with. Whether we shared a ridiculously small dorm room or lived several thousand miles away, we always keep in touch and encourage each other in our endeavors. I am so glad Suzan will share in this day alongside me!
Johnny Gonzales
Groomsman
Johnny Tapia Concepcion Robledo Gonzales! The groomsmen party would not be complete without Johnny. We’ve been awesome friends since Little League baseball and the 1st Grade. Whether it was downing 50 chicken McNuggets or our Elementary School Graduation promise to find a way to make Pokemon real-It’s still going to happen!- it was always a fun memory with Johnny and I’m looking forward to making more. Glad you could be here with me on this special day.
Sabby "Banana Foot" Camarillo
Bridesmaid
Ever since drill team brought us together as sophomores, you've been one of my people. Thought we don't always hang out a ton, when we do it is always feels like we pick up right where we left off. You always surprise me with some cool unique perspective or a pop of wisdom that makes me rethink my viewpoint. You are a goofball, and I will never forget that I got to show you your first snowfall ever! And hit you with a first snowball too, haha.
Kevin Widjaja
Groomsman
From the classrooms of middleschool, to the volleyball courts of highschool, to the dorm rooms and apartments of college Kevin and I have been amazing friends through thick and thin. With ultra high morales Kevin is a guy you can trust. And with insane technological and cooking skills Kevin has broadened my horizons. I think his home-cooked Korean BBQ had a subliminal influence and led me to move to Korea. Fun fact, when we would study he could play a movie and become more focused….I would watch the movie.(Come on Kev! You knew I’d be drawn in!) Proud to have you as a groomsmen for this awesome celebration.
Killian Read
Ring Bearer
This handsome little man will be helping get some important accessories down the aisle on the big day. He will be walking right toward his auntie (the bride) and his mama (the maid of honor) plus a whole lot of new family members as well.
Eowyn Read
Flower Girl
I still need to ask my precious little niece if she will help decorate the aisle with flower petals for me. But I suspect she will say "Yesh!"
