Bob is Brenna's uncle, and father of Alecia. He's often soft spoken, wonderful at listening and also giving advice, and most importantly, has been a big inspiration to Brenna throughout her lifetime. We are so excited that Bob has accepted our request to officiate our wedding!

Mia is Brenna and Phil's rottie mix. She was rescued from the Oregon Humane Society in April 2019, and has been blossoming ever since. She loves cuddles and will be anyone's best friend after a little warming up. You'll hopefully see her at the wedding!

Arianna loves giving and receiving compliments, and can't wait to walk down the aisle!

Coltee is the best little chubby boy, who may not be able to be trusted with the rings. But he'll sure wear his 'Ring Security' title with pride!

Carly is Phil's sister, otherwise known as sometimes-third-roommate of mine and Phil's. She is our guinea pig for new recipes, great companion during quarantine, and always laughs at all my jokes. She is the best sister I could've asked for.

Alecia is Brenna's cousin and mama of two. She's been the closest thing to a sister I've had growing up. Her littles, Arianna and Colton, are also part of the wedding as a flower girl and ring bearer.

Amanda and Brenna met their senior year of college when Amanda filled the last spot in a house shared by seven women (if you're wondering how we did that...yeah, we are too). They became fast friends and bonded over their love of studying. Just kidding, we drank a lot of Fireball. #GoCougs!

I met Tiffany at a journalism conference in 2017. We didn't room together, or even spend that much time together at the conference itself. Being the insanely loving and kind gal she is, Tiffany invited me to spend the last night at her house in OKC and we've been friends ever since.

Ashley was introduced to me by Tiffany when I went to the same journalism conference two years later. Ashley and I clicked instantly. She has one of the kindest hearts I've ever known and I feel so lucky to have found an incredible friend halfway across the country.

I met Yasmeen in Bangor, Maine, while I was working there as a TV reporter. Her job was (and still is in Hartford, CT today!) to help TV news crews tell stories. Yas would give anyone the shirt off her back. Through THICK and thin, she has always been there for me and I can't wait to have her by my side on my wedding day. PS. She introduced me to Phil!!

Christine is my absolute OLDEST friend. She's 100! Just kidding. We met in first grade in Temecula, CA because our childhood homes were (and still are!) directly across from each other on the same cul-de-sac. We were young entrepreneurs selling car washes and snow cones, singing to Britney Spears and playing video games late into the night during our sleepovers. I love this girl and her incredible passion for helping people in the field she works in as an ER nurse.

Chapin is Phil's “little-big brother.” After spending 18 years sharing a room, they are enjoying some space in different cities. He recently joined the FBI and is a longstanding member of the Army Reserves. Chapin lives in Boston, MA.

Brian is Phil's best friend from high school. From Fairmount Park to co-founding West Side Story, it's been a great ride. Brian spent the last year in Oregon building a wind farm and recently moved to Florida to continue his career with NextEra Energy.

Kyle and I met freshman year of college where we played soccer together and somehow ended up on the same floor in the dormitory. Kyle is one of the greatest friends I have ever known - and a bulldozer on the soccer field. He would do anything to help a friend in need, which is probably why he is a natural at building relationships and continues to enjoy a career in sales in Portland, ME.

Sam Nisbett is a modest track star with an affinity for great beer. We became friends in high school and ended up sharing a room in college. I am proud to call Sam one of my best friends. Sam is an Accountant (Audit) in Portland, ME.

Sean has been one of my best friends since high school. After years of wild shifts slinging dough at the local pizza parlor together, Sean graduated with both a business and engineering degree. He now travels the country building wind farms for NextEra Energy.

Juergen is one of Phil's oldest friends and founding member of West Side Story. He took all the wisdom instilled by the Danger Ranger (Phil's first car) and became an engineer. Now he advocates for offshore wind projects.

Blake and I met in college where he became an honorary member of the Husson Soccer team. He is one of the kindest and most energetic people I have ever met. Whether it is fishing, sports, or stocks, he loves hearing about your interests. Blake is a CPA and working towards his CFP (in-between researching business ideas) here in Portland, OR.
