Wedding Party
Payton Sample
Maid of Honor
We met at 6 years old on the playground and never looked back. Since grade school, she has been a constant in my life. Middle school, high school, all the way into college and beyond. As I went through all my old photos from high school and the first couple of years of college, I realize how much time we’ve spent together and all of the memories we share. I don't have room in this textbox for all of the memories we share. We have laughed until we cried so many times, and when I think about it, I truly cannot describe how blessed I feel to have a friend like her - a true, genuine best friend for so many years. I am so excited for her to stand up with me at my wedding.
Catherine Dunn
Maid of Honor
I cannot believe we’ve been friends for more than 6 years. We shared a lot in that time - ASWSU, AKPsi, college roommates. We’ve done a lot of travelling together: Denver, Seattle, Leavenworth, Olympic National Park, Spokane, a trip to Colorado and the Eras Tour, and Spain. Truly, one could not ask for a better travel partner. We've shared a lot in the past 6 years. Catherine is quick to make me laugh, and is truly a treasure. She is always my first text for anything that happens to me. I am so excited for you to stand up with me at my wedding.
Jordi Harrington
Bridesmaid
We've known each other so long, I don't even remember meeting Jordi. We spent 15 New Years Eves together, countless sleepovers, boat days, weekends, trips, and visits. Some of my most treasured childhood memories are shared with her. I am so proud to have her stand by my side as a true friend for my entire life.
Lucas Johnson
Best Man
Lucas Ray Johnson is my best friend in the whole wide world. We've been best friends since middle school and have had a pact to be each other's best man at our respective weddings. Last August, I had the immense privilege of serving Lucas as his BEST MAN when he married the love of his life, now he gets to do the same for me! We grew up doing cross country together, swimming together, even working as lifeguards together! While we had to do long distance in college, that has only made the heart grow fonder. Lucas is the most musically-inclined person I know and has an incredible ear for music. For that reason, we are also honored to have Lucas pump up the jam as our DJ! I couldn't be more excited to stand at the end of the aisle with my best friend, waiting to marry my other best friend.
Debbie Majano
Officiant
We met Debbie at WSU and the three quickly became great friends. In college, we had a tradition of celebrating Taco Tuesday every week at a local bar. We also (sometimes, rarely more like) skipped classes to enjoy some morning porch beer at The Coug. The three of us worked together closely in ASWSU on several projects and boards. When we weren't getting tacos or going to The Coug, you could have also found us throwing it back at Etsy Bravo on the weekend. While Debbie (and her amazing Fiance Matt) now live in Bethesda, Maryland, they remain some of our best friends. When it came to deciding who was going to officiate the wedding, Debbie was a no-brainer! Debbie loves public speaking and making fun of Tyler, the two things most important to this wedding. We are so thankful that Debbie agreed to help lead our special day.
