Wedding Party
Jessica Dao
Bridesmaid
Jessica is someone who just attracts friends, and its easy to see why. She gets along with everyone while making each friendship unique and special. She was the kind of friend who opened an email account for you, when your parents wouldn't allow you to have one, and patiently scribed emails to all your friends for you. Yes, that actually happened. redrosezz@yahoo.com lives on! You could also trust her with literally anything (even taking your boyfriend to PROM because you were out of town). I have tried many new experiences and tasted many new foods due to her fearless quest to try new things. Always cheery and optimistic. Any problem you were having, she could churn out a perfect solution. I am thankful that she entered my life, all due to a missed bus stop in 7th grade.
Matt Keebler
Groomsman
Every once in a while you find a friend who constantly thinks along the same wave length as you. Not sure who gets the better end of that deal... Trust and loyalty are top of the list when describing this one of a kind friendship that dates all the way back to Kindergarten.
Meghan Stewart
Bridesmaid
Meghan is one of the most loyal friends you will ever find. I was lucky enough to meet her at Seattle Pacific University, while we were both obtaining our elementary teaching certification. That process allowed us to grow close, but even when our lives would take us to different places and different parts of the state, we have always easily come back together as if we never missed a beat. Doggie play dates and walks along Greenlake continually make for a great backdrop to wonderful conversation.
Jimmy Bonney
Groomsman
Honest, truthful, and passionately outspoken. If you want an honest opinion on something, this is who you go to. Jimmy provided the voice of reason to keep us all out of too much trouble, but was also the motivation behind too many adventures to count.
Alison Miller
Bridesmaid
Our friendship started with a 6th grade school trip to the Puyallup fair, and the fun hasn't stopped since. We had many years of sleepovers, phone calls, and letters (back when people used to write letters). When I gained Alison as a friend, I also gained a family. Her home was always welcoming and warm. She helped keep me grounded and never let me get TOO crazy. She has always put others before herself, even finding time amidst her busy schedule to act as my own personal tutor, to prepare for tests or help me understand assignments. I have always known her intelligence and kind heart would take her far in life.
Terry Elliott
Groomsman
Its always great having that one friend who is literally up for anything, and without even needing to say anything, is ready to jump into something with both feet. Always accepts your call, and always willing to lend a hand, no matter the project. He's an expert at making every situation he's a part of infinitely more fun and lighthearted.
Emerald Quach
Bridesmaid
Teaching thirty wild fourth graders can really test your patience and cause you to question your sanity. Whenever I was moments away from reaching my breaking point, almost as if she had a 6th sense for this sort of thing, Ms. Quach would pop her head over the bookshelves and fire off some silly joke, or make some goofy gesture that would instantly allow me to laugh and reset. Emerald has consistently been a source of humor, laughs, pranks, and all around good times. She is always reminding me not to take myself or life too seriously, and allows my goofy side to emerge. When issues get serious, her honest and dependable insight is always a source of comfort and encouragement. She's always ready with bubble tea and a bubbly personality to match
Sam Bull
Groomsman
I dont know if there is anyone I have gotten into trouble with more or for longer. Truth be told, I have always been jealous of him for having such a cooler brother than I had...
Zor Keltz
Officiant
Extremely driven, and always inspiring you to do more than you thought possible, while at the same time reminding you to think about things differently. When you receive a new group email with ZOR in the header, you honestly never know just whats its going to contain, but one thing is certain, you will be laughing before even making it to the second paragraph. We are extremely lucky to have Zor officiating these ceremonies.
