Chelsea is one of the bride’s closest friends. They met in choir at FPU and became extremely close. They have served together on worship and have worked together at Mountain View East Campus. One of her favorite memories of the two of them is when they were living together over the summer, they accidentally locked themselves out of their bathroom. The two of them spent an hour trying to pick the lock of the door (unsuccessfully). The next morning, Marnie’s dad had to climb through the window. Marnie’s parents ended up changing the doorknobs the next day.

Erin is also one of the bride’s closest friends. They met at the Young Adults group at Mountain View Church. She got the amazing opportunity to visit Erin in England in December of 2021. One of Erin’s favorite memories of their friendship is when they both wore the wrong shoes to her mom’s wedding and they had to walk for about a mile barefoot on a dirt road covered in rocks. While it hurt physically, it’s a memory that both Erin and the Bride treasure!

Stefanie is the Bride’s sister-in-law and has been a part of the family since 2007. She was a flower girl in her wedding! Stef is a hardworking mother of two girls. One of the bride’s favorite memories is when they would go and get Starbucks after church and she would get a tall decaf iced eggnog latte.

Giselle has been close friends with the Bride since 2018. They met as adult leaders at TheXchange at Mountain View Church. Giselle is credited with naming Marnie’s car “Sharon” on a trip to Pine Flat for youth. Her favorite memory of their friendship is when Marnie was house sitting and they spent time watching Barbie movies, tanning in the backyard (and failing), swimming, talking about boys, and eating pasta from Dicicco’s!

Courtney is a friend of Marnie that she met in choir at FPU. Their first conversation involved extra sharp cheddar cheese and Ross. She is credited with introducing Matt and Marnie when she invited Marnie out to play pool. One of her favorite memories of the two of them was when they were first hanging out and she asked Marnie “Do you like anime?” Marnie got really excited and said “yes!” Courtney then replied “Oh. I don’t.”

Jenna and Marnie met in choir at Fresno Pacific University. They became friends within their circle of choir members! One of the brides favorite memories of the two of them was driving to Chelsea's grad party!

Emilee is the daughter of Stefanie and Alex and the oldest niece of the bride. She loves music, dancing, swimming, and hanging out with her Nana, Papa, Grandma, and Grandpa! One of the bride’s favorite memories of her is meeting her for the first time on a trio visiting from Kansas.

Madalynn is the youngest niece of the bride and the daughter of Stefanie and Alex. She loves animals, playing with her friends, and showing off her bunnies in 4H! One of the bride’s favorite memories of her is when she said yes to Jesus at Mountain View Summer Spectacular in 2022.

Kynslee is one of Marnie’s cousins. In the summer of 2019, Marnie travelled across the country to be the nanny of her and her older siblings. One of the bride’s favorite memories of her is coming up with the nicknames “Chicken Nugget” for Kynslee and “Chicken Strip” for Marnie.
