Wedding Party
Rebecca Schultz
Matron of Honor
Rebecca (better known as Becky) is Karen's eldest sister. She's also the wife of Corbin, and mother of Alex and Dylan. Becky put Karen onto alternative rock music, introduced Karen to playing the piano, and the best part: her love of Doctor Who! Bow ties are cool, right?
Michael Stewart
Best Man
Michael (Mike) is Nate's Brother-in-law (married to his sister, Cecilie and father of Cillian). Mike and Nate grew close skiing together in Tahoe and staying up late playing board games- boardgames that have rule books so thick you have to watch a 30 minute video before you can play.
Mary Schultz
Maid of Honor
Mary is Karen's older sister, and Karen is Mary's mini. Mary is colloquially known as the artsy rebel in the family. Karen loves going on long road trips with her and laughing about the silliest things.
Edwin Tomas Rubio
Groomsman
Edwin Tomas (o como lo llaman sus amigos, Tommy) is Nate's brother-in-law married to his older sister, Jessica. Tommy shares Nate's love of board games, fantasy books, and video games. Watch out for his sense of humor, he likes to keep people on their toes!
Julia Hart
Bridesmaid
Julia and Karen met Freshman year at Dominican University of California. They became best friends! Julia is somebody that Karen can confide in. She has a kind heart and whenever they are together there is always so much laughter. They both love Ed Sheeran and went together to see his concert at Levi's. They left with a sprained ankle and sore throat from dancing and singing all night long!
Nick Romero
Groomsman
Nick and Nate first met in college, when Nate replaced Nick as the 5th roommate in the house on Diablo street in San Luis Obispo. For the first few years of their friendship they were unsure of each other, since they mostly knew each other as that guy who took/used to live in their room. After college they bonded over their loves of fitness and music festivals and became close friends.
Nicole Thayer
Bridesmaid
Nicole and Karen met Sophomore year at Dominican University of California. They became fast friends. Nicole helped Karen get out of her shell in college by planning fun slumber and Halloween parties. Hocus Pocus being a must to watch! "Did you light the Black Flamed Candle?"
Tyler Much
Groomsman
Tyler is cool.
Paulette Din
Bridesmaid
Paulette and Karen met at Dominican University of California Freshman year. They hit it off right away in the dorms and have been friends ever since. Paulette has dragged Karen into so many fun situations, especially in LA when Karen's gone to visit. She is spontaneous and loves long catch-ups via FaceTime (shhh... Karen loves these too!)
Ethan Lines
Groomsman
Ethan and Nate have known each other for as long as they both can remember. They were in the same homeschool coop growing up in Morgan Hill and graduated together from Ann Sobrato High School. While their lives have taken them to different places at different times, they have remained steadfast friends and always immediately pick up where they left off.
Nora Riordan
Bridesmaid
Nora is Karen’s cousin who lives in Chicago. They share so many fun memories growing up together. From southern lake trips, SF visits, to Christmas parties and summer pool days in Nora’s backyard.
Nick Bergam
Groomsman
Nick and Nate met at Cal Poly ROTC where they bonded over constantly being late to morning physical training sessions. Their military careers have taken parallel paths, both joining the Signal Corps and later transferring into Civil Affairs. They currently both serve in the 445th Civil Affairs battalion, where they continue the tradition of being late to formations.
