Claire & Joseph

Wedding Party

We're keepin' the bridal party small, there are about 20 more people who could have been on this list. You know who you are!

Charlotte Johnson

Matron of Honor

We met in 7th grade, thick as thieves (or blind leading the blind?) ever since! Charlotte and I have bobbed and weaved through the last 20years separated by cities and even continents for periods of time! We actually haven't lived in the same town since high school. Regardless, she will forever be my go-to for a belly laugh, advice, & style pointers ie: dressing me when I visit! I knew Joe was a keeper when he tolerated (enjoyed!) running around the streets of San Fransisco with us in ski onesies for Bay To Breakers! Silliness aside, I wouldn't be who I am today without figuring out life along side this beautiful human, inside and out! Charlotte is blazing new trails into motherhood and I couldn't be more in awe of her. She's busy gathering intel to share with me someday!

Michelle Johnson

Maid of Honor

Michelle and I met almost 10 years ago doing what we both do best: eating pizza! We worked at Northstar Ski Resort serving pies at Rubicon Pizza Co. From friends to neighbors to dog moms, Meesh and I have navigated the transition from Tahoe ski bum to functional members of society while still occasionally wild'n out (most recently in Cabo!) Meesh and Joe are always in-cahoots for event planning and surprise parties, any excuse to get us all together. I can always count on Meesh for anything from company while wasting a FULL DAY watching Grey's Anatomy, to "treat yo self" type encouragement, to talking me down from a home-renovation induced panic attack. She is solid gold.

Jen Roebuck

Bridesmaid

Jen has been lighting up my life since the beginning of time! We met in kindergarten and the party hasn't stopped! While our lives didn't take the same route geographically since middle school, there was never a shortages of visits, trips, and catch up phone calls over the years! Jen made my one-bedroom apartment in grad school feel less lonely and has come to stay with me in Tahoe more than anyone! Jen was there the day Joe told me he loved me for the first time when we were visiting in San Francisco, the story is funnier than that but I'm not going to put it here! You can ask, I'm sure everyone remembers the embarrassing details! I am so lucky to have found the type of friendship with this gal that no amount of time or distance will effect, almost three decades later!

Paola Teran

Bridesmaid

Cutest way to make new friends, you ask? Ceramics class! We just so happened to sit next to each other in ceramics class at the junior college in Truckee and two months later I moved in to her lakefront condo! We went through a juicing phase, raised a kitty (RIP Boo, miss you the most), drank "deck coffee" overlooking Donner Lake, and laughed our way through Thailand together. The quintessential best friend/roommate I was so lucky to stumble upon while shaping bowls and mugs. I was living with Pao when I met Joe, she has supported and rooted for us from day one. Since our meet-cute, she became a Speech Language Pathologist and me an Occupational Therapist, we are now colleagues at the area's main trauma hospital pretending to be adults... no one suspects a thing!
