Wedding Party
Ariel Noricks
Bridesmaid
We met nearly 10 years ago while working at Hooters of San Francisco and formed a bond that has long outlasted our orange shorts. We love dancing and games - just don't try to interrupt our dance routines. Ariel is strong and determined, and there is not much she can't do when she puts her mind to it.. I couldn't have asked for a better buddy to navigate my 20's in a new city with, and there isn't a better friend to have by my side on my big day!
Paul Daniel
Groomsman
Paulie and I met while working in a nightclub over 13 years ago. We both had a weird sense of humor and instantly hit it off. We eventually became roommates for roughly seven years. During this time we traveled the world together, partied together and fought each other like siblings. There are very few people in my life who I can count on to be there for me any time any where... Paulie is certainly one of them.
Cassie Graves
Bridesmaid
We met in college at UC Santa Cruz in 2008 where we decided to become roommates overnight (when you know, you know, right?). We bonded over our mutual loves of baking, and all things Harry Potter. Cassie is a fiercely loyal friend and wise well beyond her years - and she can throw one hell of a party (hello, High School Stereotypes?). I am incredibly blessed to have her in my life and couldn't imagine my wedding day without her by my side.
Shawn Olsen
Groomsman
I met Shawn Olsen at a warehouse party over 20 years ago. Upon moving to San Francisco we hit it off instantly and have been fast friends ever since. We were roommates for a few years and we grew even closer during that time. We have played countless rounds of golf, danced on hundreds of dance floors and shared more funny times than I can remember (there's a reason for that). I am lucky to have Shawn as a friend and I know we will be playing rounds of golf together well into our old age.
Amber Purvis
Bridesmaid
We lived in the same dormitory quad our freshman year of college at UC Santa Cruz and bonded over an Abercrombie & Fitch hoodie and Amber's unique ability to start a conversation with any person at any time. We love terrible jokes, eating copious amounts of cheese, and Freddy vs. Jason (AKA the best movie ever made). Amber has the biggest heart, and I can always count on her to brighten my day. Amber has been my partner in crime for nearly 10 years, and my bridal party wouldn't be complete without her.
Rory Dunham
Groomsman
Rory...what can I say about Rory? This awesome guy is one of a kind. You can always count on Rory for a good laugh, a funny story and a bad pun. Rory is one the most loyal and dedicated friends anyone could ever ask for and for that that I'm extremely thankful. I'm proud to say I will never have another friend quite like him...unless I leave him in Thailand.
Isobel Shaw
Bridesmaid
We met by fate when we were paired as roommates in our freshman year of college at UC Santa Cruz and remain friends to this day. We also have the same birthday! (I am technically older by a few hours, but who's counting?) Over the years we developed a bond like sisterhood, and sometimes bicker like sisters too if given the opportunity. Isobel introduced me to The O.C. and live shows, and she is currently working hard to sway my opinion on cats. Isobel is an incredibly accepting and empathetic friend - I am touched that our friendship has remained strong over these last 10 years and I look forward to the next 10!
Peter Zimmer
Groomsman
I met this guy at Burningman over 14 years ago and became instant friends. Through that bond Peter and I have grown to become lifelong buddies that share an affinity for sports, house music and tequila. Peter is as solid as they come and I am honored to have him as one of my best friends... even if he talks too much. lol
Natalia Henri
Bridesmaid
We have been best friends since the summers of our final years of high school and have remained close over our bicoastal separation, and many many years. We enjoy checking out the museums of New York and hiking our favorite spots in the Berekely Hills together. I can always count on Natalia to have the most stylish outfits, order the best dishes at any given restaurant, and always capture the perfect Instagram pic. She has an unending passion for exploration and growth, and she isn't afraid to seize the opportunities that life presents - I consider myself lucky to have her among my oldest friends.
Joseph Fucciolo
Groomsman
Joseph and I have known each other since high school. He was the popular kid and I was a skinny little surf rat. We became friends during a trip to a Grateful Dead concert our senior year and we have been close friends ever since. He is the reason I moved to San Francisco 20 years ago and for that I am forever grateful. I certainly would not be the man I am today had I not met Joseph. This man is a rock for so many and I am honored to have him in my life.
Channing Setterquist
Bridesmaid
We served as each other's lifelines while working together at The Pub at Ghirardelli Square. Channing is a warm and optimistic human being with an admirable work ethic and a quirky sense of humor - I relied on her more than she knows through our years working together. We share a very healthy obsession with Emmett Otter's Jugband Christmas, spontaneous tattoos, and Smirinoff Ice. While our distance has grown physically, we remain as close at heart as two otters holding hands in their sleep.
Jonas Roth
Groomsman
Jonas is awesome! You can always count on Jonas to be the one who calls you out of the blue just to say hi. He and I met at Burningman years ago and we have been friends ever since. He has a heart of gold and can be counted on to be there if you need him. I have traveled the world with him and can honestly say that if you are ever looking for an awesome travel buddy... this is your guy.
