Jillian & JR
Wedding Party
Liz Palmer
Maid of Honor
Liz is one of Jill's cousins- they're less than a year apart in age and grew up together. Jill and Liz were subject to matching outfits as children and have always had similar taste in music which led them to share many concert experiences. They've had incredible experiences together their whole lives and are excited to support each other through this next chapter. Fun fact, their moms are fraternal twins!
Brenden Hamilton
Best Man
JR and Brenden have been friends since elementary school and were roommates when they both attended CSU, Chico. They spend time running and working out together during the week, and often stumble upon fun adventures on the weekends. JR and Jill have both shared lots of fond memories with Brenden on trips to Las Vegas, visits to Chico, and holiday celebrations in between.
Stacy Davis
Bridesmaid
Stacy has been Jill's best friend since they met six years ago while working at Pandora. They have spent a lot of time together drinking wine and watching The Bachelor. They've also been know to frequently brunch together, but have more recently been visiting breweries with JR and Jack, Stacy's husband. Jill was honored to be a bridesmaid in Stacy's wedding last year, and is thrilled that Stacy will be a part of her and JR's wedding too!
Danny Ward
Groomsman
Danny is JR's older brother who has always played a big role in JR's life. They grew up together while surfing, camping, and perpetually teasing each other- as brothers do. Whenever they can, they like to plan fishing or hunting trips together. JR and Jill love to go over to Danny's house to hang out him and his family.
Jen Mitchell
Bridesmaid
Jen and Jill met through Liz, and began working together at Pandora shortly thereafter. They discovered that they have a ton of mutual connections through school, and naturally became close friends. They've enjoyed many concerts, trips, brunch dates, and girls' nights together.
Jason Bradford
Groomsman
JR has known Jason since he was a kid and would tag along with Danny and Jason when they hung out in high school. JR also worked with Jason as an intern in college and during his first few years with Goodfellow Top Grade. Over the years, JR and Jason have spent time together fishing, camping, and wake boarding.
Nachole Keedy
Bridesmaid
Nachole is Jill's cousin- who Jill grew up visiting in San Clemente during family holiday trips, and Disneyland vacations. They were able to spend more time together when Jill attended CSU, Fullerton and visited Nachole and her family on the weekends. Nachole moved to San Francisco to attend USF a few years ago (she's graduating in May!) and they've taken advantage by meeting up for dinners in the city or wine tasting in Livermore Valley on a few weekends.
Trevor Manger
Groomsman
JR met Trevor when he started dating Liz, Jill's cousin and maid of honor. They've taken on many Mason/ Palmer events together, which seems to often include posing for family photos, and enduring copious amounts of desserts and gift opening. JR and Trevor have become close friends through their shared affinity for beer, camping and fishing. Trevor and Liz are also engaged- we can't wait to celebrate them!
Dan Palmer
Officiant
Dan is Jill's uncle and godfather, and he has generously agreed to be the ceremony officiant. As someone who is happily married for 30+ years, a follower of Christ and loving and supportive role model, Jill and JR couldn't think of anyone better to marry us.
Eric Mason
Usher
Eric is Jill's younger brother. A few years ago Eric told Jill that she should marry JR because he was the coolest guy she'd ever dated, and in his opinion, Jill had peaked with JR. As charming as that sentiment was in the moment, Eric wasn't wrong.
Makenzie & Hunter Ward
Flower Girl & Ring Bearer
Makenzie and Hunter are JR and Jill's niece and nephew through JR's brother and SIL, Danny and Jackie. JR and Jill have loved watching Makenzie and Hunter grow up, and are so proud of each of them. Hunter loves to wrestle with Uncle Junior and Makenzie loves drawing and playing with Auntie Jillian.
