Amber and Olivia's friendship began during their sophomore year at Western Washington University, where they quickly bonded over a shared love of observing party antics from the comfort of a cozy corner couch. Even now, ten years later, you can still find these two spending their Friday nights snuggled up on the couch together, talking and laughing about their crazy cats.

Over the years, Olivia has been deeply grateful for Julia's unwavering ability to quote SpongeBob and Nacho Libre at the drop of a hat. Julia has always been a True Friend™, consistently there to provide a dance party when needed.

Tommy has asked Gonzalo to not golf the weekend of the wedding to ensure the safety of weddings guests who wish to enjoy a round of golf over our weekend of celebration.
Samantha Whidby
Samantha Whidby - Bridesmaid
Sam is Olivia's cousin, and has been a guiding light and a trendsetter for Olivia from the very beginning! During those awkward preteen years, Sam (being 3 years older and sooo much cooler) would take Olivia on the most exciting shopping trips, always ensuring that she had the "hippest" early 2000s items. Who could forget Olivia's iconic crop-top Abercrombie jacket? A standout piece!! Olivia has always looked up to Sam, seeing her as the epitome of hard-work and confidence. She has a remarkable ability to transform what most people would see as chaos into a seamless walk in the park, and she'll do it all in heels.
