Wedding Party
Deven Sterbenz
Maid of Honor
Even though we are cousins, Dev and I have always been more like sisters. She's one of the best friends I could ever ask for. We share a lot of similar interests, like a love of the show Supernatural, K-Pop and Korean dramas. Some days, I swear we can almost read each other's minds, to the point you'd think we share the same brain. For SOME reason, our family always thinks we're up to no good whenever we get together. It's never a dull moment when we hang out, whether we're screaming at each other on the side of a busy San Diego highway, or we're laying on the sidewalk stargazing making up stories of a meteor hitting the neighbor's house. Starting this next part of my story wouldn't be the same without her by my side.
Dylan Ramsey
Best Man
My Best Man since day 1. My brother Dylan was called to be my #1 draft pick for my Best Man. I know he'll be able to support and coach me as we approach the big day. He shows me inspiration on chasing after my dreams. I'm glad my big brother will be next to me as I achieve my dream of getting married to Carrie on the big day!
Liz Strohbehn
Bridesmaid
Liz and I have known each other since middle school. It’s crazy to think how long she’s been one of my best friends. So many stories, from seeing how far we could move the table in the library during study hall before the teacher would notice while trying SO hard not to die laughing, to skipping class together, to being able to drink together. Every time we get together, it’s a new adventure! Now what KIND of adventure it is…. You never know haha. Word of advice, listen to her side seat driving at your own risk. Some of my best memories and adventures are with Liz. Having her at my side for my wedding is just one more adventure she’s a part of!
Brett Scott
Groomsman
Brett can be considered the wildcard - you have no idea what is going to happen, but you don't want to miss it. He has probably helped me get out of my shell the most and taught me to explore new hobbies like using a smoker. Hopefully, he'll be able to show off some dance moves, I'm sure it'll take under an hour before we see what he can do. I'm happy to see what memorable things he can bring to life on my wedding day.
Tierney Guilliams
Bridesmaid
Tierney is one of my younger cousins, or as we like to say, “my mini me who isn't so mini.” She takes after me in many ways, which is probably why we get along so well, she's basically a younger me! Not that it helps her with my dog Beauty. After all these years, she's still convinced she'll be Beauty's best friend someday. From watching her as a baby, to helping teach her to drive, to being able to drink in a bar with her, I've watched her through so many stages in her life. I'm proud to have my “not so mini, mini me” stand next to me as I start this next stage of my life.
Eric Leytem
Groomsman
Eric hasn't always been the loudest, but he has always had a large impact on me. Whether it's informative inside info on our fantasy football chats, or just solid advice on life. It can be utter nonsense and make you laugh uncontrollably, or something to really open your eyes. He's always there to back anyone up, and I am honored he's going to be there backing me up on my big day.
Billy Hayden
Officiant
Billy has been an officiant for years and has presided over numerous weddings. He also happens to be a friend of the bride. Carrie and Billy have been friends for too many years to count now. So, when Billy found out Carrie was getting married, he offered to be the officiant at the wedding, which Carrie happily accepted. The idea of having a friend and someone she knows preside over the wedding rather than a stranger means the world to Carrie, and she couldn’t be happier. Even better is that Billy is also excited and has said as much on many occasions how excited he is to be the officiant at his friend’s wedding.
