Kayla and I have been best friends since 2nd grade. She is such a wonderful, generous, and fun person. I have so many memories of our trips around Washington for softball, making music videos, hours taking photos, and long nights in the hot tub! It's so hard for me to pick a favorite memory that we shared because I have so many. I cherish them all!

Even though we may not see each other all the time, we can go away, come back and it's like we had just seen each other the day before.

She's my partner in crime and when I envisioned my wedding (apart from Shane) she is the first person I thought about that was most important to be there.

I am an only child, but when I marry Shane I not only get him, but I get to have his "twin" in my life too! Sheena and Shane are so similar on so many different things its crazy, but I also find it so easy to connect with Sheena for that reason too. Sheena is not only a wonderful friend, but a kind, caring, beautiful individual as well! I met her while she was going to school at EWU and I just thought that she was the most awesome hippy chick on earth! I can't wait to be your sister officially!

Darci is the drop dead gorgeous, friendly and funny lady you all wish you could be best friends with. I have known her for YEARS since we both went to CHS all our lives, but I always thought she was just too cool to hang out with me. Little did I know that she is one of the most down to earth, friendly, fun time people ever! I really admire her guts and skills for opening and maintaining her own salon! I think she's pretty incredible. Love you girl!

Kelsey is my anthropology sister. We met for the first time at a passion party at Sheena's apartment, but we found out that we were both in the Anthropology Program at EWU together! Although she was a year ahead of me, we had some amazing times. She graduated and moved on to her Master's Degree. She has been and still is a major source of inspiration for me! I think her drive to succeed is contagious. I admire that! She's been away at school for a couple years, but she is still easily one of my best friends!

Congrats on your engagement to KC. I can't wait to return the favor :)

I only met Michella about a year ago at the start of my MSW program. In this program, I was told make friends or you will perish. I turned around and said, "Hi I'm Brina. Let's be friends" and the rest is history. Michella is such a strong and compassionate woman. She inspires me every day. I am proud to call her one of my best friends (but I am also slightly creeped out that I could become such close friends with someone so quick).

Congrats on your engagement to Miantsa. I can't wait to be a part of your special day and return the favor :)

Chelsea is probably one of the most beautiful people I have ever met, INSIDE and out. I met her in the MSW program along with Michella. When we first talked to get together for a group project we immediately found out that we had only been living two apartment buildings away from each other. I don't think it was meant to be a coincidence that we are friends now. It's an honor to call this lady one of my best friends. She is the most caring and kind person I've ever met. And I love the way she can brighten up the room when she walks in. I can't wait to return the favor with Ryan and your wedding!!! :)

She is Shane's awesome, wonderful niece! She's such a smart, beautiful, and talented young woman! We're so excited to have her in our wedding party!

Shane's Brother and one of his best friends! Since he's the older brother he comes up with all the bright ideas (like getting on a fishing boat in Alaska... gold panning in the middle of a ravine...etc) and Shane follows right along with them!

One of Shane's Best Friends. He's been living in Michigan attending graduate school for the last couple years, but when he and Kelsey are in town, it's like they never left. Our current way to hang out with them is to kill zombies on the Xbox, but we'll take what we can get!

Randy is one of Shane's co-workers at the Olive Garden. Randy and Shane have become fast friends. There have been many days when they've spent the day hanging out on the couch playing Xbox, but also some great game days watching football and UFC!

Ty is another one of Shane's awesome co-workers from the Olive Garden. Ty and his wonderful wife Kendra have become our great friends. Ty and Shane have had many adventures together including playing disc golf and setting each other on fire, which surprisingly only made them better friends!

Kam is Shane's nephew, his sister Saundra's son. He is the smartest cutest little nephew ever! We can't imagine the wedding without him there!
