We chose to keep things simple with a very small wedding party.
Jenny Jenny! I met Jen through another one of our good friends in the summer of 2002, and shortly thereafter, she began working at Wells Fargo too. We became fast friends via post-work "social" club, and of course, shopping! I was sad to leave her behind when I moved to California for work, but we kept in touch frequently via email and phone. Jen came to CA for a work visit, so we were able to hang out, go to an Angels baseball game, and shopping at Fashion Island in Newport Beach!
We always visit (and crash with) Jen and her husband Brent when we go back to Des Moines. They are fabulous hosts, and know how to throw a mean tailgate! Go Cyclones!!
Jen is a great friend, and has been by me through a lot of changes. She is the kind of friend who would do anything for you (including shipping your shopping purchases back to Texas for you) and not think twice. She makes me laugh, which we tend to do a lot when we get together (sorry Andrew!), and she truly is my long lost "sissy!" Love you Jen!! :)

Looney (Greg) and Toon (Andrew). What can I say about Looney? I have known Greg since we were both infants. Our fathers were friends in kindergarten together, so naturally we were bound to be best friends. From hanging out at his place while our parents were at the Crab Feeds, the family trips to Tahoe and the many trips to Vegas, we have shared a lot of good, memorable times together.
After I got engaged, and was thinking of who would be my best man, the only person who would fulfill the job honorably is Greg. He has been my buddy through all of the stages, changes, good times, bad times and accomplishments in my life. I am proud to have him stand next to me on April 17th, 2009.
