Things to Do

Registry

An amazing guy, who can always make the bride laugh. He's also a certified grill master.

Benjamin Jensen

A beautiful gal who is making the groom's dreams come true. Also, quite skilled at poetry.

Logan Sylvia

He is the long time best friend of the groom. If he told me to jump off a bridge I would.... 
Push him off first.

Destin Byrd

The bride's high school bestie. She is probably the only reason I survive the monotone Mr. Marshe's math class. A fierce protector and my biggest supporter!

Kaylan Ishisaka

Brother of the groom. He gets all the credit for my patience, because boy he tried it when we were growing up! Just kidding I love you bro.

Nicholas Jensen

Met later, clicked faster. The most understanding person you will ever meet.

Sydney Miller

He took the photos for the proposal along with some friends. He is the most honest, realest friend I have.

Alex Vang

The bride's college roomie! She has an amazing knack for genealogy, got a long lost cousin? She'll find them.

Elise Bauer

Don't ask him about his retirement plans (just kidding, do it). He can beat anyone in Chinese chess.

Kenny Levu

A woman in STEM! I owe my degree to our study sessions in the library! She's a Pomodoro Master!

Hannah Gomez

We met through video games, crazy! He is the most humble silly guy you've ever heard of. He is also unfathomably friendly, watch out!

Shawn Meehan

The bride's youngest bridesmaid, but she's my go to Type A planner. She's got a big heart and bigger aspirations! Future UCLA attendee! 

Charlotte Rains

He is the only groomsman that can out-lift the groom. I am not going to say anything else nice because of my ego.

Cory Rickerd

Wedding Party

(Told mostly from the perspective of the lovely bride, Logan) We met four and a half years ago (at time of writing August, 2025) at the magical place, John's Incredible Pizza. Ben was actually my team lead (how scandalous). My friend, who was another team lead, and him had got into an argument about something (not serious) and I was on the way to clock out. I ran into the two of them on my way out and Ben made a face at me (ahem, she made that face all the time and Ben was just finally reciprocating it cause it was a funny face). That was it, I was completely crushed, and I made it pretty obvious. My same friends ended up getting us together after we all went out for boba after a night shift. We have spent the last 4 (by the time we are married it'll be 5) years happily learning more about each other and ourselves. We have been able to have several adventures, explore different parts of California, and visit Tennessee. We have been together through different jobs, different schools, and even different locations. We were long distance for a year and a half until we both graduated, from CSU Long Beach and UC Santa Cruz respectively. The classes were tough but the distance was even more so. Then February 1st of 2025, Ben proposed to me while we were at Shaver Lake! We had a wonderful snow day with some of our friends and I had no idea it was coming. I actually took forever climbing up the hill to get to his proposal spot because of how deep the snow was and how I kept getting stuck in it. But it was worth the snow filled shoe, because it was the most magical moment!
