Wedding Party
Zulai Shimamoto
Best Woman
Zulai and I met through mutual friends over 10 years ago and have been thick as thieves since. We share a love of adventure, video games and being cheerleaders for one another. A friendship that has been forged in supporting each other through life's up, downs and in between. Zulai will be making her journey from Washington to be here with us on this special day. Here's a fun fact. We both got engaged a week apart!
Kyle Zemanek
Best Man
I've know Kyle for over 20 years. Growing up together from being angsty teenagers to adults with careers and real responsibility. Although life gets busy, nothing brings me more joy than playing a round of golf and making each other laugh until our sides hurt. Kyle lives in Connecticut where he serves the community as a police officer. He has a beautiful family with his wife Ashley and children.
Arlo Barnett & Brandi Bowler
Maids of Honor
Arlo and Brandi have been together since they were 16! They are making an adventure all the way from their home of Arkanses to join us. Our friendships started through Dungeons & Dragons, and we've been playing the campaign for over 2 years! What started as awkward introductions came to meeting every Thursday night. We've all grown very close, but Arlo and Brandi have a very special place in our hearts. Brandi doesn't play, but she still joins to listen, chime in, and heavily judge Arlo while he runs our game. Arlo and Brandi are both born and raised in the south. They are giant nerds (like us.) And are absolutely hilarious. They enjoy anime, video games, and their ill tempered cat, "Frejya.' But the best part, they do it all together. They are inseparable best friends. Vy and Vinny look up to them, as the pinnacle of a loving couple.
