The Party People
Chelsea McLemore
Matron of Honor
Chelsea and I met in English class our junior year of High School. Once we introduced ourselves, it seemed like we have known each other forever and just like that she became my best friend! We graduated together, worked right next to each other, tons of sleep overs, Disneyland trip, ate a ton of in-n-out burger (we ate mostly in her ladybug car) but most importantly when it comes to our friendship it has always been strong and I am truly honored to have Chelsea in my life and specially this very special moment, along with her daughter Eden and Husband Sean. To my best friend, To my Matron of Honor-Cheers to us! I love you.
Sean McLemore
Best Man
Sean has a beautiful family and cares very much about the people around him. I aspire to be a great father like him one day. Sean and I love taking long walks in the park while whacking golf balls with sticks and listening to country music. We enjoy excavating backyards and filling up trailers with debris. We will someday have a golf simulator where we can practice Pebble Beach until conquering the real thing. Their cat Henry is a special boy and greets me at the door with MEOWS!
Kristina DiCarlo
Bridesmaid
Kristina and I met in 5th grade in science class (our favorite subject...or was that art class?) and along the way we have lost friends over the years but one thing that we didn't lose is each other. During talent shows and choir performances, she was always there cheering me on. We attended all school functions together and were even in the yearbook club (this was when we got "cooler"). I am so proud to call Kristina my "sister" who has been with me through it all. When we were about 13 - 14 years old we always talked about and day dreamed that someday we will be at each other's side when we get married.... and here we are 16 years later! I love you sister friend, forever.
Joshua Origenes
Groomsman
Joshua, Brother of the Bride! Josh and I bonded over the beautifully engineered BMW machine. We enjoy discussing how to improve our vehicles and what is new on the market. Josh has a love for food and we will try a stingray quesadilla on the beaches of Rocky Point anytime. I am blessed to have a future Brother-In-Law like Josh!
Amanda Chafin
Bridesmaid
Amanda, sister of the groom! Amanda and I met back in 2017 around Christmas time and I could tell right away that she was kindhearted and sweet. I will always remember that night when I felt a part of their loving family. Amanda and I have bonded throughout the years and she has been the sister I have always wanted. To Amanda, I love you and thank you so much for letting me be a part of your wonderful family.
Colin Chafin
Groomsman
Colin and I rode side by side in Oregon with my Uncles while I shot an embarrassing 140 on the links. Since then we have met back up on the course and shared a round of over analyzing and self torture. Colin asks brilliant questions and makes you think about how to improve your actions. He is a great dog dad and treats my sister very well. His brothers and parents are cool as hell and I am happy we are all family.
Alicia Ahlberg
Bridesmaid
Alicia and I met in the Summer of 2021 through the game of pickleball. We bonded through the love of music, singing, traveling and animals. She and I joined the boys playing golf, found awesome breakfast places around town and swam in the pool! She recently moved back to Wisconsin along with her boyfriend Denin. Although I miss her every day, I cannot wait to have her by my side.
Denin Beiberitz
Groomsman
Denin and I met while helping plan the largest project in Mayo Clinic history. We bonded over analyzing construction plans and how to improve chip shots around the green. Denin has a beautiful mind and we could only go forward when we are together. Denin took me on my first 13 mile mountain bike ride and my muscles were sore for many days. We teed off at 3pm in summer and conquered the 115 degree heat. We fought tooth and nail to keep this wonderful man in PHX but a house on the lake with family is definitely more intriguing. I cherish the moments we are back together and learning new things.
Eden McLemore
Flower Girl
Eden brings her parents and family so much joy and we are forever thankful that she is bringing it to our family as well. We love you baby Eden!
John Krall
Officiant
Worm farming brother! John introduced Joanna to her first John Deere and adventures in Cottonwood AZ. We asked John to marry us both when we were up in Cottonwood, and he didn't hesitate and said "YES! I would be so honored!". John has been a very close family friend for many years and has seen both Adam and I grow up the last 5 years. I could not be happier that he will be marrying us!
