Our Wedding

Carly and Jordan’s story began in 2011 when they met through a mutual friend. Jordan broke the ice by calling Carly to ask if she needed help with her biology homework. Carly, being too shy to answer, let the call go to voicemail. Eventually, they met in the Deer Valley parking lot before baseball/softball practice, where Jordan convinced Carly to go on an official date. Their first movie together was True Grit, and from that moment on, the rest was history. From the start, Carly and Jordan discovered they had a lot in common. Both were the youngest of three siblings—Jordan with three boys and Carly with three girls. Their families shared a tradition of spending a week at their favorite lakes, and both had labrador family dogs—Posey and Bela, who quickly became best friends. They were also both San Francisco Giants and football fans (though Carly is still not on board with the Raiders), and shared a passion for activities like fishing, hiking, snowboarding, golfing, and camping. These shared interests and love for the same things have played a key role in keeping their relationship strong. Their journey together has been filled with adventures. It started with summer vacations with their families at Lake Almanor and Lake Shasta, where Carly and Jordan’s love for the outdoors first grew. They’ve since ventured out on their own, embarking on backpacking trips, snowboarding excursions, camping adventures, and most recently, traveling through northern Europe. The couple also thrives on friendly competition, whether it’s pickleball, ping pong, cornhole, golfing, or any sport that offers a chance for some playful banter. Carly and Jordan have grown together and supported one another through their respective careers—Jordan becoming a second responder and firefighter, and Carly becoming a police officer. While some might say balancing these intense careers with a relationship could be difficult, their shared understanding of the demands of their jobs has only strengthened their bond. In 2022, Carly and Jordan expanded their family by driving to Idaho to pick up their German shorthaired pointer, Remi, who will be at the wedding! They kicked off 2024 with an engagement in Alaska and ended the year by purchasing a home in Vacaville. These days, you’ll find them taking Remi to the local park, enjoying home-cooked meals, visiting local breweries, and planning their next adventure. So, as they celebrate this next chapter in their lives, they want everyone to come ready to have a good time! Get ready to eat, drink, dance, and party the night away—because this celebration is going to be unforgettable!

Our Story

Introducing Kelly, the bride’s oldest sister and matron of honor. Kelly is the ultimate sister boss—she keeps everything running smoothly and is always there to make sure things are in order. By day, she’s a brilliant threat assessment professional, and by night, she’s a fantastic cook and the one who keeps everything organized.

As a mother of two girls and a wife, Kelly’s got her hands full, but she handles it all with grace and a calm demeanor. While she loves a good tequila shot, you’ll need to work a little magic to convince her to take one! So if you see her standing near the bar, offer her a drink—who knows, she might just loosen up and hit the dance floor!

We’re so grateful to have Kelly here today—she ensures everything runs seamlessly and is always ready to make sure the day is a success.

Introducing Emily, the bride’s middle sister and matron of honor. Emily is easy-going, creative, and always up for a good time. She’s also an amazing cook, and her meals are a highlight wherever she goes. When she’s not cooking up something delicious, she’s shaping young minds as the best second grade teacher around.

Emily lives in Alaska with her husband JC and their adorable dog, Shiloh. Together, they enjoy the great outdoors, and she’s always rocking her cool fur coat in true Alaskan style.

We’re so lucky to have Emily here today to celebrate—she brings joy and creativity to everything she does, and we know you’ll love getting to know to her if you don’t already! 


Emily Wuellner

Introducing Carrie, a lifelong friend of the bride and one of the most loyal people you’ll ever meet. Carrie and the bride’s friendship dates back to when they were just six years old, growing up as neighbors, building forts, engaging in epic water balloon fights, and playing on the same soccer team. Over the years, nothing has changed—Carrie remains as genuine and supportive as ever.

Not only is Carrie one of the fittest people you’ll meet (she’s a true gym rat!), but she’s also one of the kindest. She’s the type of friend who will always have your back, and we’re so lucky to have her here today.

Carrie’s also the proud dog mom to her beloved dog, Annie, and she brings that same love and loyalty to all her relationships. We’re thrilled to have her by the bride’s side today!


Carrie Slonecker

Introducing Sydney, the bride’s first friend in college and a recent graduate who just completed her schooling to become a Nurse Practitioner! Before that, she was an aesthetic RN specializing in Botox, so she knows a thing or two about looking and feeling great.

Sydney is basically an Instagram influencer in disguise—always getting the perfect shot and rocking the best style. She’s also the type of friend who gives the best advice, always offering support when you need it most. Not only is she incredibly intelligent, but she also knows how to crush a beer bong better than most! (It’s close between her and Shaye). 

We’re lucky to have Sydney here today, and we’re sure she’ll be keeping the fun going all night long.

Sydney Buxbaum

Introducing Shaye, a true force to be reckoned with in the world of sales. She might look like she belongs in LA, but don’t let her appearance fool you—Shaye has a strong country side. She can ride a horse and chop wood like nobody’s business, proving she’s got the perfect balance of style and grit.

When she’s not closing deals, you might find her downing a beer bong faster than the guys. Shaye is as down-to-earth as they come, and her energy and spirit light up any room she enters.

We’re so excited to have her here today celebrating with us, so be sure to say hi and maybe challenge her to a beer bong contest—if you dare!

Shaye Brennan

Introducing Rachael, one of the most fun-loving people you’ll meet. Recently married to her husband, Riley, Rachael is a fantastic saleswoman with the gift of gab—she loves to talk and is always the life of the party. With a big personality (true Gemini style!), she never fails to make a statement and keep things exciting.

Rachael is also a great cook and could easily become TikTok famous with her delicious recipes and culinary flair. She’s the proud mom to her golden retriever, Sadie. When Rachael’s around, you can always count on never having a dull moment, and we’re thrilled to have her here celebrating with us today.

Rachael Murtagh

We’d like to introduce you to the wonderful Courtney, one of the key members of our wedding party. Courtney is a true gem—extremely personable and always bringing warmth and kindness to everyone she meets. By day, she’s a Lung Transplant Coordinator, making a huge difference in people’s lives with her expertise and compassion. When she’s not saving lives, she’s living it up in Chicago, where she knows how to have a good time and balance work and fun.

Recently engaged, Courtney has a contagious laugh that can light up any room. She’s the type of person who knows how to enjoy life, and we’re so lucky to have her here celebrating this special day.

So be sure to say hello to Courtney, and get ready for the charm and energy she brings to every occasion!


Courtney Chamberlain

Let us introduce Carlos, the groom's best man and a friend who has been by his side since they were kids. These two grew up together, playing baseball, getting into trouble, and navigating through high school side by side. Their bond is built on years of friendship and countless memories. 

Carlos is now a corrosion engineer, and while he may be quiet at first, don't let that fool you- he's one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. He's a loyal friend who's always there when you need him, and we're so happy to have him standing by the groom's side today. 


Carlos Jauregui

James, a true genius, the guy who builds rockets for NASA (yes, you heard that right) and longtime friend of the groom. He's been on leave for the past year, exploring new places and living life to the fullest. Recently he made the move to San Diego- where, let's be honest, he's probably never leaving. 

When he's not working on launching rockets, James loves to golf, though let's just say he's still trying to catch up to his brother's game.  

James is known for thinking he can beat the groom in anything like pickle ball, but trust us, he's got a little ways to go! Regardless, James brings the fun and the competitive spirit, and we're so lucky to have him here to celebrate. 

Be sure to say hi to James and maybe challenge him to a game (if you're feeling lucky)! 

James McKenna

Let us introduce you to Kevin, a longtime friend of the bride and groom who they've known since high school. Kevin is an electrician by trade and the guy with the biggest heart - always ready to lend a hand or an ear whenever needed, And when it comes to lady problems? Well, Kevin's had his fair share of adventures in that department - but he always bounces back with a smile and some great stories to tell. 

As for golf... let's just say Kevin might need a bit more practice to catch up to the groom's skills. But we love him anyway! Whether he's swinging a club, cracking jokes, or fixing electrical problems, Kevin's sure to keep the fun going all night. 

We're lucky to have Kevin here celebrating with us today, so be sure to say hi, maybe share some golf tips, give him your number if you're single, and get ready for a good time! 

Kevin Schwartz

Jake, the groom's brother, who's not just a high school teacher in South Lake Tahoe, but also an awesome dad and husband. Jake loves to hit the slopes and shred the grnar snowboarding. And if you ever need a great DJ, look no further- Jake goes by the name "Nestah" and knows how to get a party started! 

Now, Jake might think he's the most athletic guy in the room, but let's just say his coordination doesn't match his confidence. Regardless, Jake brings nothing but good vibes wherever he goes, making him the perfect addition to any celebration. 

We are lucky to have Jake here today to celebrate, so be sure to say hi to "Nestah," challenge him to a friendly game, and get ready for some good laughs! 

Jake Nester

Let's introduce Herb, the groom's brother, and the man who's always ready with a fishing pole in hand and a joke on his mind. A devoted father and loving husband, Herb is the life of any gathering, always keeping things light-hearted and fun. 

But be warned- if you see Herb on the golf course, beware of Durag Herb. His skills may be questionable, but his dance moves are not! If you thought he was just out there for a casual round, you might find him twerking on the green instead. 

Herb brings the laughs and love, and we're so lucky to have him here today celebrating with us! 

Herb Gough

Introducing Duke, a Naval Chief, the man who's always serving our country with pride. Though he grew up in Antioch, Duke somehow adopted a country accent while serving in Virginia- don't ask us how, but it's a part of his charm! 

Duke's love for his country is unmatched, and when he's not leading the ship, he's always cracking jokes and keeping everyone laughing. He's the life of the party and can turn any moment into a good time. 

We're lucky to have Duke here today, so make sure to say hi- just be ready for a laugh and maybe even a few funny stories about life in the Navy. 

Duke Clark

Introducing Logan, the groom’s cousin, and one of the most impressive golfers you’ll ever meet. Not only is Logan a scratch golfer (that’s right, he’s got the skills!), but we could easily see him on the PGA Tour one day. He’s got the game to back it up!

Logan is also the proud owner of his own golf brand, “Duffers Golf,” which you might have noticed  the groomsmen sporting at some point. Talk about some serious swag!

When Logan’s not on the golf course, you’ll find him dirt biking, hunting, and embracing all the outdoor adventures life has to offer. A recent Chico State graduate, Logan is a true outdoorsman, a talented golfer, and an entrepreneur in the making.

We’re excited to have him here today, so be sure to chat with Logan about his most recent hole in one! 

Logan Gough

Introducing our amazing flower girls-our nieces, the little dynamos who are here to sprinkle some magic and charm all over the wedding day. These girls are all about embracing girl power and living their best lives! They’re a good time through and through—whether they’re tossing petals, making us smile, or just having fun, they bring nothing but energy and joy to the celebration.

We’re so lucky to have these little ladies as part of the wedding party, and we know they’ll keep the good vibes going all day !
