Cherish Wiebe - Maid of Honor
Little sister of the Bride! Well, only by 11 months. Has a heart of gold and a girlie side but can out-shoot and fish better than most guys. Mother of two and still graduated with a 4.0 GPA. Definitely got the brains in the family. My keeper of secrets and my best friend for life..
Jeff LaRue - Best Man
Aka “Spanky”... Younger brother of the groom. Got his nickname freshman year in the men’s locker room shower...just ask Lee Mitchell. Definitely the better athlete of the two. Jeff can hit a golf ball farther than most guys on the PGA Tour and even though he can legally carry a gun, he’s still the baby brother.

Danielle Lynch - Matron of Honor
Sister-in-law of the Bride! Married to Ariane's brother, Brian... 23 years strong. Yup, they were high school sweethearts. Extremely close with Ariane growing up and has maintained the big sister role to this day. Took her to Vegas for the first time when she was 20. Side by side or miles apart, her and Ariane are like real sisters connected by heart.
Jimmy Luster - Groomsman
Aka “Pop”... Mike and Jimmy go way back to high school. To this day, they still laugh at their inside jokes from 20 years ago. Practically a brother, these two have been through thick and thin and no matter how much time goes by (without a “PING”) picking up where things left off is never an issue.

Alyssa Tabbit - Bridesmaid
LA Bestie/Ride or Die! Ariane's blonde twin sister from another minster. No joke, they are the same human in different bodies. Co-host of The Freddie & Alyssa Show, recently engaged, travel buddies, and is currently planning twin weddings with the bride!.
Mike Clifton - Groomsman
Aka “Clif”... Practically another brother. Clif is the only reason Mike went to Westmont College. They were roomies at Westmont and in Oklahoma where they played baseball for a summer. Clif and his wife Christine gifted Mike a book many years ago that impacted his life in more ways than one..
Brandon Portnoff - Groomsman
Aka “B”... Mike's brother-in-law. Responsible for getting Mike drunk for the first time. Mike indirectly set Brandon up with his sister, Angie over 23 years ago. One of the smartest guys he knows and has maintained the big brother role since they met at Sport Chalet back in 1993..
Jill Watts - Bridesmaid
Bako to OC but now lives in SD bestie! Loves animals more than people. Makes a mean guacamole and knows how to throw down some old school gangster rap. Don't let that fool you though... this mamacita is a sweet county girl at heart..
Geoff Rice - Groomsman
Aka “G”... Mike's other brother-in-law. Probably the most bad ass person on the planet. If the U.S. were under attack, you’d find Mike and Ariane hiding behind him. Geoff was also responsible for saving numerous lives at the Las Vegas shooting. We thank God everyday that him and Cori are still with us. He was recently awarded the Medal of Valor from the head of ATF... It's the highest national award for Valor presented to a public safety officer. So yeah, he's a bad ass and the wedding party is pretty much safe.
