Jennie & Trevor
Wedding Party
Christina Pollack
Matron of Honor
She has been by my side since day one. Even though she wanted to be an only child (I'll forgive her for that), she is the best big sister anyone can ask for. She is one that is ALWAYS on the go. Sometimes I don't know where she finds all the time. She is very driven in everything she does and cares for all those around her, which I admire her for. I was grateful enough to spend her wedding day by her side and now she gets to return the favor. I can't wait to have her adventurous spirit by my side.
Jordan Kriesel
Best Man
I have literally known him since the day he was born. I even helped name him (after the famous MJ). When we were younger we NEVER saw eye to eye. However I knew he looked up to me so I always tried to be the best example there was. As we have gotten older and have both matured, our relationship has never been stronger. He is someone that I can call and talk about random things while playing a xbox game together. I am proud to have him as my best man.
Natalya Illuminati
Bridesmaid
Nata and I used to be inseparable as kids. Running around the farm and going on our own adventures. As Nata got older, she continued to adventure by going to school and traveling to other countries and places. She is a very strong willed person and is someone who isn't afraid to tell you what they're thinking. I was very excited when she moved back to Portland and want to take as much advantage with spending time with her while she is here. I am excited to have my little cousin part of this big day!
Nathan Zobott
Groomsman
We met in elementary school and became instant friends. He was my first official sleep over in 4th grade where I ended up breaking his parents' big screen tv while trying to hook up a Saga. Even after that, Nate still stayed close friends with me from then on. There was one summer during college where he spent almost every night on my parent's couch. We would work by day at Lumberyard Brewing and play by night. I was lucky enough to watch him marry the love of his life and I can't wait for him to be there to witness when I do the same.
Sarah Murray
Bridesmaid
The first day we met was in kindergarten. She grabbed my hand without question and we rode the school bus together. Since then we dominated the basketball courts throughout elementary school and middle school. She was the tall one, I was the short one. I pretty much just passed her the ball since she towered over people. Even though we go times where we haven't seen each other for a while, we can easily pick up right where we left off. She is a friend that would be there at the drop of a hat if I needed something. I am lucky to still have her in my life after all these years.
Devon Schmieder
Groomsman
Met in high school as we both tried out for the freshman football team. At first Devon thought I was just the scrawny, wimpy kid that threw up at practice but little did he know we would eventually take the same classes together and eventually become best friends as we maneuvered thru high school’s challenges together. We kept in touch even though life had other post- high school plans. Devon has been a big influence on my life and I could not imagine him not being by my side on the big day.
Jacqueline George
Bridesmaid
I have known her since middle school. We became even closer when we would have some farm adventures while in high school. We used to have many sushi dates (mostly being hungover) and still have random food dates now. Even though adulting gets in the way, we still find time to have fun just like old times. Except nowadays I don't try to run away from her when she tries to get me home. Hopefully once our little pups meet, they will follow in our steps and become doggie friends.
Brady Nittmann
Groomsman
Met each other through sports while growing up. Eventually we became friends in HS through our mutual relationship with Devon. As our lives parted, he quickly finished his degree at U of A in Tucson where he eventually met his wife Cece and they both decided to plant their roots in Eugene, Oregon and work for his school’s enemy, the Ducks. With Brady only living a couple of hours away from Portland, we reignited our friendship and plan to have many more fishing adventures in his new drift boat.
Courtney Hudson
Bridesmaid
We were introduced to each other while going to rival high schools. We were both super nervous to meet each other because we were both the only girl in our respective friend groups and didn't want to bring any "girl drama". But we hit it off right away and a lot of my best memories have her in it. We have now maintained a 15 year friendship despite being in different cities most of the time. Every time we get together, it is as if no time has passed and we can talk for hours. A few years ago, I was able to stand in her wedding and I am so excited to have her be in mine.
Brent James
Groomsman
Brent moved from a small town to Flagstaff to get better exposure as a baseball athlete but he was also athletic enough to make the JV basketball team as a freshman. As the sophomore, I quickly took him under my arm as he was the shy new kid in town. Our bond grew stronger as we played baseball and basketball throughout HS together. He even became a third child to my parents as our families became closer. I had the fortune to be there for him as he married his wife and I can’t wait for him to do the same for me. As well as having his little girl, Oaklynn, be our flower girl.
Rachel Ford
Bridesmaid
She was one of the first girls I really bonded with on the softball team at ASU. She was senior and I was a little freshman. To drinking sonic at the basketball games to having "princess" night every Sunday. Some of my fondest college memories have her in it. She was a big reason I continued at Adams when I thought of transferring, she even made a powerpoint of why I should finish my 4 years there. It is a good thing she convinced me, otherwise I wouldn't have met the guy I am marrying today.
Austin Rochford
Groomsman
Austin aka “Big Country” and I both pitched on the Adams State baseball team for our last two years of our colligate career. We both had one more year to finish school together without baseball where we became roommates and solidified our friendship. We spent many nights at Weekends Tavern and he has made the drive from Durango to Flagstaff just to come visit me multiple times. He even visited me in Portland where we had a visit with a golden dragon. I could not imagine him not standing by my side.
Lindsey Matusak
Bridesmaid
She got me through Chiropractic school which was literally one of the hardest experiences I have yet to endure. We would spend hours studying but yet, easily distract each other by talking/gossiping over the most random things. We even got to live on an awesome floating home together for a few years and survived being roommates without issue. Despite her moving back home to Pittsburgh, she is someone I can always count on. To this day, miles away, we still find things to gossip about and will message each other about the news we recently heard.
Joe Brenner
Groomsman
Joe and I both met while working for the dirty bird. We became closer friends after a Billy Joel concert where we now call each other “Billy” for some odd reason. Since that experience we have been on many adventures together including Blazer games and traveling to Colorado to watch the DBacks play the Rockies. He was the first one to know about me wanting to ask Jennie to marry me and even went with me to pick out the ring. He is a big part of my life today and I’m excited for him to be there for the big day.
Oaklynn James
Flower Girl
Trevor's friend and groomsmen, Brent, has the most gorgeous little girl. They were in AZ and now live in Kentucky, so we don't get to see them but we love chatting with her on their FaceTime calls.
Kenyon-Dame Figueroa
Ring Bearer
Trevor's friend, Kealen, has the most adorable little son that we were able to host a baby shower for when they lived in Portland. We are excited to have him lead the way down the aisle!
Wesley Archambault
Officiant
Wes is Jennie's younger brother. Growing up, they fought due to his need to keep eating Jennie's food even though it was clearly marked with her name. However, now that they have matured, she does enjoy his company whenever he does come home. He is the comedian of the family, so this may go really well or not, but either way it will be genuine. We are excited to have him marry us.
