Wedding Party
Crystal Elmore
Maid of Honor
Crystal is my best friend. We are basically sisters (cousins to be exact). We are exactly 3 weeks and 1 day apart; I am older, just in case you were wondering :) Words can't even describe how much I love her and appreciate having her in my life. She's by far one of the funniest girls I have ever met. Whether it's vacationing, cruising, hanging out, or just talking we always have an amazing time together! This was a no brainer choice for me to have her as my Maid of Honor! ♥
Patrick Smith
Best Man
So I've known Pat for all of 22 years now...and it's been quite an interesting time having him as my older brother. Pat's older than me by 18 months, meaning we competed at EVERYTHING growing up. From school, to baseball, to soccer, to American Gladiators in the backyard. Having Pat around to compete with, talk to, and learn from has been such an important part of my life, that I couldn't imagine getting married without him being right there next to me as my best man.
Amy Pearson
Bridesmaid
I have known Amy for 6 years and counting. I thank God everyday that Graydon brought her into my life! I am proud to say that she is one of my best friends and she can't get rid of me, even if she moves states away! I am excited for her and Graydon (Married August 29, 2009) and for them to live their new life together in Colorado. She has always been someone I can talk to, no matter what and I am happy she is going to share my special day with me ♥
Graydon Pearson
Groomsman
Graydon has been my best friend since as far back as I can remember. We've played soccer together for years and spent every summer together since elementary school. He's quite the video game fanatic, and is still convinced he's better than me at FIFA. I'm still holding out hope that he'll get tired of all that snow in Colorado and him and Amy will move back to Southern California. I had an awesome time at his wedding last August, and I'm glad he's coming back from Colorado to be a groomsman in my wedding!
Nichole Herman
Bridesmaid
Mat first met Nichole at Cal State Long Beach. I wasn't too happy about him hanging out with a girl...(I'm jealous, what can I say??) But once I got to know her I knew we would be life long friends. She means the world to me and we have so much in common! I am so happy for her and Tim (Married June 20, 2009) and excited that they are going to be there to share this experience with us like we did with them! ♥
Timothy Herman
Groomsman
After a long night of moving boxes into my new dorm at CSULB, somewhere around 6 in the morning I was awoken by the sound of hammers, power tools, and who knows what else. Apparently my new neighbor, Tim, decided to get an early start on attaching 4 foot metal poles to his bed so he could fit a couch underneath. 4 years of living with this crazy kid and I still haven't been able to get rid of him. He's a funny, goofy guy who's got an excellent taste in music and is always fun to be around. From our sacrificial surf trips, to Stagecoach, to making me play darts instead of homework, Tim's always been a good friend and I'm so excited for him to be a part of the wedding.
Bailey Swig
Bridesmaid
Bailey and I met playing CLU volleyball. The first day I met her, she didn't like my pass and hit the ball back at my face...great start huh? Apparently that was her way of saying she liked me. haha Bailey is a pistol and absolutely an awesome friend. If I were to be in the ER, I'd hope Bailey would be my Nurse! Smart, funny, and completely reliable. I am so happy that I made a friend like her during my time at CLU and I am so excited she is going to be in my wedding! ♥
Cameron Stephenson
Groomsman
I met Cam in the dorms when I first went to college in Long Beach. Cam and Tim lived next door to me and Cam was quite the formidable opponent for Guitar Hero and Mario Kart 64 marathons. Cam is a natural at the guitar and an all-around fun guy to hang out with. He is the king of pop culture and useless trivia; feel free to quiz him at the wedding! I'm very excited to have Cam in the wedding!
Sarah Robben
Bridesmaid
Sarah, the love of Patrick's life, has been a good friend of mine for the past 2 years. Immediately, Sarah and I clicked! Although we don't get to see each other often enough since she is in Sacramento, we have so much fun together! She is an awesome girl; Mat and I absolutely love her! She is so fun to talk to and be with, I am so happy she is going to be in our Wedding Party!! ♥
Desiree Mena
Flower Girl
Desiree is the cutest, sassiest little girl you will ever meet. She is definitely a character. For the longest time, I was "Map's girlfriend" but thankfully after many trips to the movies and sucking up, I am officially "Jennifer". haha Desiree means a lot to us and we are very happy to have her as our flower girl. :)
