Maid of Honor
I met Anna 20 years ago in Arizona, and we instantly connected through our remarkably similar personalities and interests. Despite living across the country from each other, our friendship has continued to remain constant through the years. We've celebrated all of life's major milestones together - from Sweet 16 birthdays to college graduations, first jobs, and weddings. I was honored to be part of her special day, also on Memorial Day, 13 years ago and now she's here for mine. Anna currently lives in Georgia with her husband Adam and their two boys.
Best Man
Blake and I met back in 7th grade and have been through quite the journey together since. I was born an only child in my family, but he is as close to a blood related brother as one could get it. Blake is a very skilled Journeyman Mechanic currently, which is a blessing considering I need every bit of help when it comes to anything mechanical. The man has an obsession for new cars that go fast. So don't be surprised if each time you see him it's in a new ride, going the speed limit of course…
Bridesmaid
Lauren and I share a special connection that spans generations - our grandmothers were best friends, my mom and her aunt were best friends, and now our friendship continues this legacy. We grew up together sharing the same middle school and high school, in addition to the same church starting at First Baptist and now Generations. Lauren is a super mom of three and talented baker showcasing the yummiest treats on her Instagram feed. Lauren lives in Eugene with her husband Micah and their kids.
Groomsman
Ryland and I go way back to junior high, but our friendship took off in college. If you're ever looking for an entertaining story, I promise he will surely not disappoint. He graduated from the UW Foster School of Business, and has been one of the top performers at his company in Commercial Life Insurance ever since. On the side he is a real estate investor always hunting for new deals, but on his off time you can find him making a brief appearance on Seattle's Love is Blind season where he found out love wasn't as blind as they said.
Bridesmaid
Sophie and I were best friends from birth, born only three months apart. We spent countless hours playing with Bitty Babies and American Girl dolls, going on bike rides, attending summer camps, and sharing youth group adventures. Though we attended different schools growing up, our friendship thrived through countless phone calls (I can still recite her childhood number by heart!). When we finally ended up at the same high school, we pushed each other academically, both becoming valedictorians. Now Sophie lives in Bend with her husband Krys and their son Luca, where she balances her career as a cardiologist with being a new mom.
Groomsman
Nick and I met back in 2020 through our mutual friend Ivaylo, in a story that perfectly captures his determination. I was camping with friends on a mountain in Chelan, WA - no cell service, middle of nowhere. Somehow, Nick managed to navigate his way up that mountain in the pitch dark to find our group. That night set the foundation for what would become a great friendship. During the week you can find him working as a Residential Project Manager at the family business, and in his spare time his hobby is making music which you'd have no issue finding on Spotify.
