Jordan Smith
Jordan Smith - Matron of Honor
Jordan has been a big part of my life since second grade. We've been through the ups and downs of life together, including a public karaoke performance of Flo Rida's "Low" (I'll let you decide if that was an up or a down life moment). We can't promise an encore performance at the wedding, but I can promise you will find Mama J on the dance floor dropping it low anyway.
Abby Duerst
Abby Duerst - Maid of Honor
Abby and I were awarded the "Best Best Friends" superlative in our senior year yearbook. We did so many weird things growing up (constant Harry Potter role playing, writing each other raps, developing cat alter egos, pirating truly awful horror movies, etc.) that it's surprising I found someone to marry me. And I'm lucky to be have Abby by my side when I do!

Aaron Stein
Aaron Stein - Best Man
Aaron has never accepted my Facebook friend request, but he has saved my life more times than I can count (by holding the other end of the climbing rope). Our friendship is built on trust, adventure, and Aaron doing the work of two friends since I never reply to texts. When I tell Nali about my plans with Aaron, she rolls her eyes and says: "why don't you just marry him?" Well, we are both accounted for - so best man will have to do.
Sammy Azuma
Sammy Azuma - Officiant
Sammy has been around to witness our relationship grow since our college days. She has always been there for us when we've needed help; like moving us out of our apartment and laughing at us as we carried loose heaps out to her car by the armful without boxes. It's that mix of her always willing to support us and always keeping us laughing that makes Sammy the perfect person to marry us.
