Kristen & Shaun
Our I-Do Crew
Elizabeth Mantsch
Matron of Honor
Elizabeth and Kristen met back in Jr. High School. Although life took them down separate paths they reunited in their early 20’s and became the best of friends. After being room mates for 4-years, it’s safe to say Elizabeth knows Kristen better than anyone. We love Elizabeth for her huge heart, her constant optimism and her love for singing about literally everything!
Keith Ochs
Best Man
Keith is Shaun’s older brother. There was no question of Keith to be the Best Man in the wedding. From the day Shaun was born he has looked up to Keith. Keith has been there for Shaun at all points in his life and has been extremely influential, so if there’s any questions about Shaun… you now know who to question. Keith and Shaun have been through many life trips and experiences as they both enjoy riding side by sides whenever they have the opportunity or just getting away to go camping.
Danielle Walker
Bridesmaid
Danielle and Kristen bonded immediately when meeting Freshman year. To say these two were inseparable would be an understatement, they were like sisters. In their high school days they frequently shared their hopes for the future over Taco Bell while admiring the homes of their dreams. Danielle is one of the most caring and amazing humans you will ever meet. Consider yourself blessed if you get to meet such a once in a lifetime friend.
Matt Solomon

If you see Matt ask him about his ginormous dog, Kevin.
Gabrielle Regidor
Bridesmaid
Gabrielle and Kristen met working at a salon together and immediately bonded over each other’s dry sense of humor.

She has an infectious laugh and can always crack people up. If you get a chance, ask her about her crazy pup Rucker!

Nathan knew from the moment Kristen first spoke of Shaun that Shaun was the one. Although Nathan has a huge personality, his heart is far bigger. It’s never a dull moment when Nathan is around as he is always entertaining and bringing laughter and joy into our lives. You may be wondering why he’s been chosen for this role, however once you see him in action you’ll know exactly why!

Vision Hendrix
Officiant
Vision and Shaun met working alongside one another at AT&T. Vision is a huge teddy bear with a heart of gold. He is extremely humble and in first meeting Kristen he called her a sis making her immediately feel like part of his family. Vision and his family went to Disneyland with both Kristen and Shaun building a relationship with both of them. Shaun and Kristen love Vision’s love for life. Vision’s kindness is infectious and he certainly has a way with words. It is because of this that Shaun and Kristen both couldn’t think of a better person to officiate their special day.
