Wedding Party
Jennica
Maid of Honor
Jennica is Shayne's older sister of 5 years. Some say she looks like Shayne, some say she doesn't (you decide!). She is currently living in Salt Lake City and working for the Major League Soccer team, Real Salt Lake. She absolutely loves to travel the world and is bigggg foodie. From watching her play in every sport possible growing up to watching her live out her collegiate volleyball career, she has been a role model for Shayne is so many ways.
Ariel
Bridesmaid
Ariel is Pierce's younger sister. Ever since Shayne started dating Pierce, she has been nothing more than welcoming with open arms (probably because she grew up with three menace older brothers-jk). Her compassion and selflessness goes unseen. She is the ultimate auntie who is always looking for ways to help those around her. Her passion for winning at game night is inspiring to many and always will one up you with gifts.
Eastyn
Bridesmaid
Eastyn is Shayne's childhood friend and was her beach volleyball partner growing up. Her dad coached them since they were young and they both are the main reason why Shayne grew to love the sport so much. She will forever be Shayne's favorite teammate she's played with. One of my fondest memories Shayne has with Eastyn is competing against her in college when she played for New Mexico State. They played every chance they could growing up together since Shayne was 10, playing each other in college was such a full circle moment.
Cailin
Bridesmaid
Cailin was Shayne's teammate and roommate in college. She is the ultimate hype woman and life of the party. Cailin is someone Shayne looks up to in so many different ways. Someone who will always go above and beyond for those around her. She is the biggest boss woman in sports and is one of the most hard working people she has met. The impact she's had on Shayne's life has been one of her greatest blessings. She is Shayne's dance partner for life (sorry Pierce). They apologize in advance when they hit the dance floor.. IYKYK
Avie
Bridesmaid
Avie was Shayne's teammate and roommate in college. She is the queen of nature and living spontaneously. She is someone Shayne will have the deepest conversations with and also the goofiest. Avie is one of the most humble people Shayne has met. She is the true definition of hard work when no one is watching. She is currently playing professional volleyball in Spain and met the loveliest guy ~Fernando~. Avie is someone who has changed Shaynes perspective on life in so many different ways and she's forever grateful for their friendship.
Kara
Bridesmaid
Kara was Shayne's teammate and roommate in college. Kara might seem to be your ordinary joe but let me tell you she is the goofiest gal and kind of a BIG deal. She is someone who can make Shayne laugh on command even when she's not trying to be funny. She is currently living in Italy and playing on one of the best volleyball teams in the WORLD. She's an absolute baller on the court and also a baller at cooking taco meat. From meeting her in juniors club to being her teammate in college, Shayne is so grateful for their memories and infinite giggles. "Life without weirdness isn't life" - Kara Bajema
Claudia
Bridesmaid
Claudia was Shayne's college roommate. She is the definition of bad*ss and queen of Issaquah, WA. If you don't know her- that's shocking since she will always get stopped in public because someone knows her (even in Charleston, SC!!). She is one of the most compassionate, humble and hard working people Shayne has met. From going on to play soccer in college at UW, to now owning her own non-profit that provides resources for those 35 and younger with MS. She is fulfilling her purpose in so many ways and Shayne is insanely proud of her! https://www.ms-impossible.org
Drew
Best Man
Drew is Pierces older brother. When they were growing up Pierce was always trying to be like him. He was a great role model to him when Pierce was younger and he still is to this day. They talk about anything when they're together and they're always pushing each other to be better. Pierce may look up to him physically, but he still can't beat him in pickle ball.
Adam
Best Man
Adam is Pierce's oldest brother. He is the greatest dad alive and he's come a long way from getting tapped out by 10 year old Pierce. Just kidding, but not. Adam has been a fatherly figure to Pierce since he could remember. He was always the most responsible and always made sure his younger siblings were taken care of. He has two beautiful daughters now and it's so awesome seeing him raise a family with Maelonni.
Noah
Groomsman
Noah and Pierce roomed together in the fraternity in college. He would always look at Pierce in disgust back then, but now they're really good friends and talk everyday. He is one of the most calming and consistent people that he has ever met. Whenever Pierce feels down he can remind him that it's not that serious and bring him back down to earth.
David
Groomsman
Pierce met David in college from his fraternity. They used to wrestle and fight and now they pray together. David is one of the most disciplined people that Pierce has met. He pursues God like no other and has had a huge influence on Pierce pursuing his faith. Every time Pierce talks with David he challenges him in the best way possible.
Braiden
Groomsman
Pierce roomed with Braiden twice in college. It seemed like they did just about everything in college together - they were in the same major, same fraternity, played intramural together and lived together. Although he stole Pierce's socks in college, Pierce always enjoyed being around him. Whenever they get together now it's always great catching up with him and talking business.
Mike
Groomsman
Mike and Pierce grew up in diapers together and went to preschool together. Pierce followed him around in school because he thought he was so cool (Pierce still thinks he is) and I couldn't talk well. Pierce would always copy his order from McDonald's saying "I too". Nowadays he's working for the Saints and is a future NFL GM. Him and his family have had such a positive impact on Pierce and his family.
Austin
Groomsman
Austin and Pierce roomed together at WSU their first year there. They both transferred from CWU and it was awesome going through their first year there together. He was Pierce's go-to receiver in flag football too. They were like Brady and Moss on the flag field. They were always playing any sport they could and finding anything and everything to compete against each other in.
