Wedding Party

Taryn

Maid of Honor

Taryn and I met in high school at Boulder Creek. We instantly became best friends through being on dance team together. As we grew up we got even closer during our many vacations together and bonding over murder shows and wine when we were roommates. Now we have the honor to stand by each other in our weddings.

Jarred

Best Man

Not just my older brother, Jarred has always been a role model, mentor and even teammate. Growing up we did just about everything together, always finding a way to create a game or competition during any situation. I know he can write a better bio than this, but he’ll save that for the Wedding speech.

Lauren

Bridesmaid

Lauren and I met freshman year of high school in Texas. We stayed friends after I moved to Arizona and remained very close through the many trips back and forth (almost always including a Cowboys game). I had the honor to be one of her bridesmaids and I am equally honored to have her as one of mine.

Igor

Groomsman

Igor and I met in Middle School, and became best friends in High School. Both of us being in the Lake, we basically went everywhere together - either riding our bikes or getting rides from our families until we could drive ourselves. Since then, there’s been vacations to Miami, nights out in Boston, and more. I’ll always make sure I have time to see Iggy on any trips back to Boston.

Missi

Bridesmaid

Missi and I met at a party at ASU talking trash to each other during a game of beer pong. We instantly were connected at the hip, so much so we convinced many people we were actually sisters. Missi has been my person and seester for many years and will forever be!

Graeme

Groomsman

I first met Graeme when he moved in across the hall mid-way thru our First Semester at ASU. We quickly became friends and shared a similar path thru college, almost always being classmates, study partners (although Graeme rarely needed to study), and even roommates. After college, we have frequently traveled together, became roommates again for a year, and have had the honor of being in each other’s weddings.

Mel

Bridesmaid

Mel and I met our first year of law school. Our friendship grew over the countless hours of studying and through the horrible experience of the bar exam. The bond between Mel and I continues to grow over our love of reality tv, working out and of course wine. She is also the amazing mother to our adorable ring bearer, Sylus!

Jan

Groomsman

One of my friends in Arizona, Jan and I have become even closer thru our significant others. If we’re not playing golf, we’re probably out getting food and drinks with Ali and Shannon (aka Alan and Shack) or taking weekend trips to San Diego and Rocky Point.

Missy

Bridesmaid

Missy and I met when we were both bridesmaids in a mutual friends wedding. We bonded over our love of the Dallas Cowboys and George W Bush. Our friendship continued to grow as Missy and I became roommates. With all the holidays Missy joined my family and I, she has turned into my soul sister.

Jimmy

Groomsman

As my cousin, growing up we spent a lot of time at Grandma’s house together, always playing games and having fun (despite him being a Red Sox fan). We were always together during Holidays and family events, where I would get to promote his first concerts.

Dragana

Bridesmaid

Dragana and I met at work about 8 years ago. We connected over our love of country music. She’s my go-to phone call on my way home from work, and some of our favorite memories are all the outdoor country concerts we went to on hot Arizona summer nights.

Ryan

Groomsman

As my future brother in law, I have had the pleasure of getting to know Ryan and have come to see Ryan and Shannon have always been very close. Our mutual interest in sports make for plenty of conversation and debate at any dinner, or weekend in Anthem (go Devils). He (and Carly) has also become Kobe’s favorite Dogsitter.

Sylus

Ring Bearer
