Wedding Party

Connor

Groom

Rachel

Bride

Cole

Best Man

There is no one else I would rather have standing right by my side on this day than my "not so little" brother, Cole. Growing up, we challenged each other to be better students, athletes, leaders, and individuals. He and I have been through everything together and to keep this short, I couldn't ask for a more loyal, hilarious, terrifyingly brilliant, and freakishly good looking best friend.

Carli

Maid of Honor

Aside from spending a lot of time with Connor, meant spending a lot of time with Carli (they are siblings after all), we really got close in high school, playing soccer together. Something about grueling double days really brings people together. Over the years her silly jokes, smile and thoughtful gestures made the biggest impact! She's very detail oriented, so basically my brain while I follow my heart. Seriously, what would I do without her? It only makes sense she's by my side on the most special day of my life! Love you soul sista!

Kekoa

Groomsman

Kekoa is the first person I met at Whitworth University during check-in day for the football team. We found out we were both Freshman who played wide receiver and instantly despised one another as being instant competition. Luckily that only lasted about 60 seconds as we realized we were in every single one of the same classes, liked all the same sports, and both wanted to be physical therapists. From visiting Kekoa in Maui, to playing football and every intramural sport imaginable, and eventually living together in Spokane (and most recently Portland) we have become extremely close and I know that he is someone I can always count on and talk to no matter the circumstance.

Melissa

Bridesmaid

Better known as, Mel. We met at Western Oregon University, we became quick friends because we were both 'transfers' from other colleges. We roomed together, found all the free food and went on all the adventures. We did a lot of growing up together because it was really the first time we were both so far from home. Thank goodness for FaceTime, she's only a phone call away! We compliment each other SO WELL. She loves to talk, overthink and takes her time with EVERYTHING. I like to listen, act impulsively and rush around like a crazy person! Cheers for always being the 'green' to my 'tea'!

Connor (Deuce)

Groomsman

How in the heck did this guy make the list?! Completely joking of course. I wanted to hate Connor for the obvious reason that he was dating my little sister. However, he made this extremely difficult as he treats her unbelievably well and has become one of my best friends. I have finally found someone who needs to plan things out more than myself, but I am lucky that I will be able to call this thoughtful, detail-oriented, and goofy person my brother in-law this December!

Amanda

Bridesmaid

We met in 5th grade and became best friends quick! You could say the countless sleep overs, thousands of soccer, basketball and track practices, and our drive to be twins has only helped our 15+ year friendship! Today, our love of fitness, Coeur D'Alene, food, coffee, shopping and juice makes being besties effortless! I was there for her wedding and I'm thrilled that she'll be there for mine too!

Mike

Groomsman

How can you not become friends with the quarterback throwing you ball? I am so thankful Mike decided to come to Whitworth after the first semester of our Freshman year. He instantly became another one of my best friends as he is so easy to talk to and is an all-around compassionate and caring person. We also lived together in Spokane during college and I'm so happy he stayed in the area. Fun fact, Mr. McCune is now the three time defending winner for most attractive math teacher in Eastern Washington. Sorry ladies he is taken, as I was honored to be a part of his big day just over two years ago and am so happy he is here to be a part of mine.

Destiney

Bridesmaid

I met this social butterfly through Connor's groomsman, Dustin, and because of all our common interests we became quick friends! We both love all things fitness, outdoors, adventuring and traveling. Destiney is sweet, thoughtful, caring and giving. She's an amazing planner, something I'm not so great at and is always so willing to provide support. I wouldn't want to get my butt kicked by any other spin instructor <3

Dustin

Groomsman

This appears to be a recurring theme but Dustin and I also met playing football at Whitworth. He was instantly fun to be around due to his quick-witted humor and competitive nature that I also share. We also lived together during school in Spokane (I'm sure your are wondering and yes, there were about 20 of us crammed into a duplex, but rent was cheap!). Anyway, Rachel and I have gotten very close with both Dustin and his wife Destiney, who happens to be a bridesmaid. Again, I was blessed to be a part of his wedding and am thrilled they can both be here for ours. Only problem is Rach and I can't decide if the only reason we like having Dust around is because that means we get to see Destiney as well? ;)

Amyjae

Bridesmaid

We met at Orangetheory Fitness in Hillsboro, OR. We worked together every single day for a year and she made every moment SO MUCH FUN. She is so encouraging, supportive, funny and inspiring! We've created so many awesome memories together both through work (Orangetheory for life!), running (We ran a half marathon every month in 2018), traveling (Colorado Springs, Seattle, Bend, Maupin and more) and all things Lululemon (clothes, races, events, etc.)! She may be my total opposite, but you know what they say!
