Terra & Zach
Wedding Party
Brad Jeffries
Best Man
If it wasn't for a 5th grade boating trip that Garry forced the boys to take, the story of these two may have been altered. However since that day these two have been there for each other. Between drive thru food adventures, people staring at how tall they are and the countless drives to Moses Lake. The two always find a way to have a good time together.
Chris Rue
Best Man
From the beginning, Chris has always been at Zach's side. Granted there has been a distinct height different between the two. But there isn't a childhood memory that doesn't involve the two of them. 25 plus years of friendship have had them traveling different countries, setting sail on multiple boat trips and of course always finding time for golf.
Jeff Burnette
Groomsman
Jeff may always been the smallest in the group but his smile and personality is always the biggest. Jeff and Zach have known each other since grade school. Kicking the soccer balls, shooting hoops and eventually racing around the lake in their dads boats. The two always find away to have a good time. Whatever the task, project or trip, Jeff is always willing to help. Always dependent on what food or drinks will be provided :)
Corey Mueller
Groomsman
Sports, sleepovers, shooting 3's or avoiding Zach's fairway shots, Corey and Zach have always had a special bond. Even when they haven't seen each other for months, they can pick right back up as if no time has passed. Corey is truly special and one of a kind, Zach could not imagine his big day without having Corey there at his side.
Nick Klop
Groomsman
Hoops, lifting weights, drinking beer or cruising the lake Nick and Zach always find a way to enjoy getting together. Nick has always been the groups defender and open to take on any challenge. Although he has attempted many times to teach him, Zach cannot still not compete with Nicks dives off the boat.
Kirk Bishop
Groomsman
Newer to the circle of friends that have been around Zach for many years. Kirk found his way in unexpectedly. Starting out as co-workers, the two had an instant connection. Quoting famous movies or inside jokes such as the third floor. These two could always been seen laughing or joking around. Kirk helped get Zach through everything he encountered in Kennewick. And became the designated first mate on all the boating adventures.
Justin Bentz
Groomsman
That first meeting Justin met Zach had instance chemistry and both knew this was going to be special . The first date was at the wineries in the Tri Cities. They only invited Kaylan for a designated driver (LOL). The two hit it off with an instant bond and began many fun adventures and house hold projects together. Evening building as some would say the worlds biggest, greatest, and most perfect wall that anyone has ever seen!
Annie Lytle
Maid of Honor
Annie and Terra started off their friendship in rocky waters after Terra had just moved to Spokane in highschool. This was quickly turned to an inseparable friendship after we spent some time together, and 16+ years later this has continued to be the case. Despite the distance or time, we always tend to pick right back up where we left off. Annie has always been there, from family dinners, early mornings, late nights, laughing until we peed, crying when life has been unfair, and making me an auntie to 3 perfect girls. Annie is not only a best friend but a sister. I look forward to many more life adventures for us in the future.
Katie Anderton
Maid of Honor
Katie and Terra met at a nursing home when they were both working as nursing assistants. We both shared the same goals of applying to nursing school, and quickly bonded over long study hours and work days followed by Mexican and mojito dates after work. Terra was adopted into Katie’s family pretty immediately, as well as her husbands, which is pretty amazing to always be surrounded by people who are willing to consider you one of their own! There have been countless weekend getaways, laughs until we’ve cried, and wine and game nights that will always be cherished. Their friendship has always come easy, even when living together for 3 years. 10+ years later, Katie is still one of Terra’s closest friends, auntie to her adorable baby boy (and ring bearer), as well as forever sister.
Darin Dodge
Bridesmaid
Darin and I met in college after being set up as “blind roommates”. Darin and I made an instant connection, not only because we both have the same middle name, but were the only 2 in the house for the first week of school. We quickly came to find how much we had in common and it was pretty much nonstop laughs from there. Now we can’t say the same for the rest of our roommates, but that’s what makes for some of our laughs looking back! We continued to be roomies throughout the rest of college, and have remained close since this time— despite Darin moving back home to California. When these 2 are together it’s as if no time or distance has been between them!
Jordan Wilde
Bridesmaid
Jordan is the groom’s sister, and a big selling point in joining the Wilde family! From the moment we met, Jordan always made me feel at ease, even if it was getting thrown into a Wilde gathering unknowingly! She has always been unapologetically herself, easy and fun to be around, and quickly became a close friend and someone I am so excited to call my sister! Cheers to many more wine nights!
Megan Rollo
Bridesmaid
If gaining one amazing sister wasn’t lucky enough, Jordan’s wife Megan added to the mix makes me the luckiest in-law of all! Megan not only is an amazing compliment to Jordan, but has also always been so easy to be around since day 1. Megan can always talk and make friends with anyone she meets due to her outgoing personality, warm smile, and contagious laugh. I am so blessed to have Megan not only a close friend but now a sister. Cheers to many more wine nights!
Kaylan Bentz
Bridesmaid
Kaylan was one of the first friends of Zach’s I had met when we began dating when he was living in the tricities. From her baby shower, to becoming “auntie Terra and uncle Zach” to little Rowan (who is also a ring bearer), Kaylan quickly became a great friend with many nights full of laughs and wine! When it came time to propose, Zach entrusted Kaylan to help him pick a ring for me (great job by the way!). I look forward to many more laughs, wine nights, boat trips, and weekend getaways at uncle Zach and auntie Terra’s in the future!
Carmen Bishop
Bridesmaid
Carmen was another one of the first friends of Zach’s I had met when we began dating when he was living in the tricities, well I actually met her adorable daughter, Ellie first! We obviously became besties first. Carmen then quickly became a great friend from boat rides, to zoo trips, and nights full of laughs and wine! It has already been amazing to watch Ellie (one of our flower girls as well) grow into her own person, as well as all of our friendships to continue to flourish despite the distance. I look forward to many more laughs, wine nights, boat trips, and weekend getaways at uncle Zach and auntie Terra’s in the future!
