Sophia and I met working at Wells Fargo together a few years ago. Not only did we become fast friends but she is a great friend to Jake as well. She knows how to have fun but will be there for you during the hard times too. Sophia is a friend you can count on!

Shannon and I met in, what feels like, another lifetime. Despite our distance, we have remained close friends. She is fun, caring, compassionate, and beautiful inside and out!

Hayden is outgoing, fun, genuine, and kindhearted. She loves chillin, playing Mario Cart at home with her kitties or living it up out and about. #frontporchfriends

Ty has such a pure heart and genuine spirit. She is an excellent momma and friend! So happy to have you on my side!

Hayley is unapologetically herself! She keeps her people close to her heart and has a smile that lights up the room. She’s my new sister!!

Jillian is an excellent mother, caring sister, and protective powerhouse to those she loves. Her sense of style keeps us all looking our best (much needed on the big day). She’s my new sister too!

Aria Gray is outgoing, sweet and sassy, caring, and beautiful inside and out!

Skyla is our smiley little munchkin. She is fiercely independent and just a love. Cant wait to watch her grow up with our little Riley.

Crue is tough, courageous, and wants to be at the center of everything. He plays hard but can be a love at times too... when he wants to be.

Does Beau even need an explanation… where would I be without this sweet sweet boy of mine? My 13 year old first baby!

Braden and I met in high school and became fast friends. We bonded over a shared love of Mario Kart and Guitar Hero, and we battle it out to this day. He has been a constant and true friend and he and his family have welcomed me as one of their own from day one. In college he met his now wife, Hayden, and she not only became a great friend to me but is also one of Dani's bridesmaids! The Connolly's are fierce and life-long friends, and we couldn't be happier to have them with us on our special day.

Jakob is absolutely one of a kind. We met working at the downtown YMCA as lifeguards! He was quiet when I met him but undeniably friendly and welcomed me into his circle almost immediately. Jakob is fun, active, competitive, and loyal. He is a few years older than I am and l've looked up to him as an older brother as long as I've known him. He has mentored me, been my friend, and been my brother for more than a decade now. His wife, Ty, has been a close friend of mine as well and is also one of Dani's bridesmaids!

I met Traven in high school around the same time as Braden! We became a trio of troublemakers. One of my favorite memories of Traven is racing him home after school on the back roads seeing who could out crazy who. Over the years Traven has been there for me more than anyone else. He and I have always had an unspoken bond to help each and be there for each other. He is one of the most hard working and reliable people l've ever met, and I count myself lucky to call him my friend.

James Lemire. How can you describe a legend? James is as James does. He is a husband, brother, community protector, BBQ pit master, wood chopper, gamer, good time haver, Vicious Mosquito drinker, and a great friend. James was my first friend I made when I moved to Oregon, and we bonded over our shared love of beer. The man has a talent for making friends and can talk to and connect with anyone and I was lucky enough to be one of those people. He is a natural caretaker and leader and can inspire you to take on any challenge because he's right there with you taking on the challenge with a smile.

Torry has long been a standard to strive for in my eyes. He is my sister Jillian's husband and father to my nieces Aria and Skyla and nephew Crue, and my brother. I have looked up to Torry since the first time he invited me to play Call of Duty with him and his friend. I grew up with only older sisters, so it was crazy and awesome to me to suddenly have a male role model. I have seen him grow and change in a million ways and am inspired by him to constantly strive for greatness and never stop bettering myself.

Tiana was part of the opening team at Craft Pour House, which if you don't know already, the Craft crew is our second family. Tiana is an OG that helped us both through some of life's toughest battles. We are so appreciative and excited for her to marry us. Love you, T!
