Fond Farewell

Our Wedding

After years of existing as "the best-friend's brother/ the sister's best friend", we decided to see if we should change those titles or not. After a camping weekend in Lake Almanor, the stars didn't lie... From that day forward, our forever started. We have made it through many life changes, career moves, 4-years of long-distance, a couple different hair lengths, and most recently, becoming first-time pawrents. I knew we were going to work because every day we weren't together, we continued to choose each other from a-far and promised to wait until the time was right for our true forever to begin!

Our Story

I am Eileen Arnold, the mom to the beautiful bride-to-be. I could not be more thankful for the gift of my daughter. It has been a joy to watch her grow into a woman of strength, grace and faith; this truly is one of my greatest blessings. Kennedy could not have chosen a more wonderful partner, and I feel so grateful to welcome Braden into our family.

Eileen Arnold

Hello, I'm Maddy! I am Kennedy's one and only sister. I have watched Kennedy and Braden's relationship evolve from the very beginning. I am looking forward to standing by her side and to welcoming my brother to the family.

Hi, I’m Jenna, the bride’s future sister-in-law! I met Kennedy at ballet school, and we reconnected in high school and I’ve been lucky enough to call her one of my best friends ever since. I’m so excited for her to officially be my sister. As for Braden… I’ve known him my whole life. I couldn’t be happier for the two of them and I’m so excited to celebrate them on their big day.

Jenna Baxter

Hello! My name is Ashley! Kennedy and I have known each other since freshman year in high school. We met in our P.E. class and have been great friends since! I am also the mother of the flower girl. We are honored to be a part of Braden and Kennedy's big day! 

Ashley Mulderick 

Hello! My name is Ellie! Kennedy and I officially met when I was just 3 years old at Susan Haywards Ballet School, even though our families had known each other long before that! We have been friends ever since and I couldn’t be more excited to be a part of her and Braden's big day!

I am Megan Foy, Kennedy’s older cousin. As we are only nine months apart, we became best friends from the very beginning. Kennedy always brought joy, laughter, and spontaneity to our shared time. Together with our sisters, Bridget and Madison, we forced our parents to watch countless made-up dance routines, taste test our baked goods, and stress out when we got into strangers’ cars on vacation. I am so honored and excited to support her on her wedding day.

I’m Bridget, Kennedy’s cousin! I’ve been lucky enough to experience the absolute ray of sunshine that is Kennedy Arnold since we were babies. I can’t wait to support her through this big moment and feel so grateful to have her (and now Braden) in my life.

Bridget Foy 

Hi, I’m Jen, Kennedy’s freshman-year roommate. We chose each other through the CSUMB portal, hoping for the best and somehow getting the absolute best. I visited her in Half Moon Bay before move-in, and the rest is history. From laughing until we cried to getting through our first heartbreaks together, we’ve been through it all. Now, I’m so lucky to stand by her side as she marries the love of her life.
