Sydney Kent
Maid of Honor
Sydney is my one-of-a-kind Maid of Honor, to know her is to love her. You'll quickly find out that her infectious personality lights up any room she enters. When we met at Oregon State, I recruited her as my “little” in our sorority, and from that moment, we were inseparable. No matter where we go or what we do in life, we are each other's constant. We're finally reunited and both living in Austin, Texas. I couldn't imagine navigating life without her by my side!
Marissa Kelly
Maid of Honor
My maid of honor and first ever friend at Oregon State. From the day we met we felt like we were soul sisters! I’d never met another person who could sing every word to 90s country like I could until I met Riss. No matter the distance between us we always find a way back to each other with a strict "3 months between our last visit" policy. Our favorite place to be together is a dive bar with good country music, and I’m pretty sure we will be doing the same thing someday when we are 80! I can’t live without her!
Rachael Janac
Bridesmaid
Rachael is the big sister I never had—always putting others first she is a one of a kind friend. Her heart is bigger than she can handle, and for this reason she's the biggest crier I’ve ever met. We’re investing in waterproof makeup just for her for the wedding weekend. Seriously, everyone, pack tissues in your pockets—you never know when you’ll need to pass her one. I'm beyond lucky to have her by my side!
Callyn Burrows
Bridesmaid
Callyn is my Texas girl—and when I say Texas girl, I mean through and through. She taught me more about the place than I ever knew I needed to know. One thing about Callyn is she’ll make sure you’re friends with her whether you like it or not. My first friend in Nashville, we were absolutely inseparable during the years we lived there. Every weekend was filled with studying for nursing school, followed by sleepovers and city adventures. She’s a true ride-or-die, and I’m so lucky to have her in my corner!
Maddie Fichtner
Bridesmaid
Maddie is the kind of person you meet and you just know you need to be friends with her. Her kind heart is so nurturing she has a way of always making you feel better. She was my absolute rock during my time in Nashville and made my experience what it was. Whether she's running barefoot in Kid Rock's Honky Tonk bar in Nashville or just hanging in my bedroom alone, she's the girl you always need by your side.
Alexandra Mahler
Bridesmaid
Meet Alexandra, aka “Z” – the queen of turning strangers into friends and making anyone feel like she’s known you forever. Always the life of the party, you’ll catch her dancing in a crowd, sunglasses on, living her best life and vibing to whatever Travis Scott song is playing (I guess those were college days). If you’ve got any single brothers, cousins, or eligible bachelors hanging around, send them her way — Z is the most eligible bachelorette in town, and trust me, you’ll want to introduce her!
Emily Wanichek
Bridesmaid
Emily, or “Wani,” is my college best friend and the ultimate source of entertainment for our entire friend group. From living abroad together in Spain to our Sunday ritual of laying on a bed we made on the living room floor, watching movies, and eating burritos, she’s always been a constant in my life. To this day, she’s one of the best people I’ve ever met—her laugh and smile are absolutely contagious. This wedding wouldn’t be complete without her, and I’m so lucky to have her by my side!
Emma Kiefel
Bridesmaid
Emma is 1 of my 3 college roommates and best friend. Honestly, I could write a book about the memories we’ve made over the years! She is so special to me! Something about Emma is her humor is next level—she’ll have you laughing so hard you’ll cry. At the wedding you'll find her dirty martini in hand, in the middle of the dance floor, demanding nothing but “Mr. Worldwide.”
Katie O'Doherty
Bridesmaid
Katie is our city girl-turned-small-town Oregon lover, and let’s just say us college roommates definitely converted her. Originally from LA and having lived in New York, she can't seem to escape her Oregon girls, no matter where life takes her. Katie has this incredible way of connecting with everyone and makes you feel so special and loved—it's one of her many superpowers. There’s something so special about her that’s hard to put into words! I can’t wait for everyone to meet her.
Sofie Hale
Bridesmaid
Sofie is one of the three college roommates who’s been by my side through all the highs, lows, and college shenanigans. From our wild days at Oregon State to navigating adult life, my world wouldn’t be the same without her. If I could trade anything it would be to go back to living under one roof doing everything we possibly could together — because Sofie is the kind of friend who makes every moment better, and she’s the one you always want by your side.
Emerson Flanagan
Bridesmaid
Emerson is Chase’s incredible sister and my new big sister! I couldn’t be more grateful that she’s the one I get to call family. From the moment we met, I knew we’d be a perfect fit, and I can’t wait to be an unstoppable duo in the Storch family for years to come. She’s truly one of the best people I’ve ever met, and I only hope I can be half the sister that she is to all the boys in the family. I’m so excited to live together and share so many memories as family forever!
