Bride
Peyton was born and raised in Fairbanks, Alaska. She moved to Oregon for graduate school, where she met a man who loves God, family, dogs, coffee, beer, country music and Alaska... the rest is history.
Maid of Honor
Eloise is a Fairbanks girl currently living in North Carolina. Peyton and Eloise met on a training hike with their cross-country ski team and have been best friends ever since. They lived together for many years and have gone on countless Alaskan adventures together, from cross-country skiing to remote cabins, to ice climbing frozen waterfalls in Valdez, AK. Even though they live across the country from each other, they still talk almost every day, and can't wait to finally be in the same city again for the wedding.
Bridesmaid
Mallory is Peyton's younger sister and partner in crime. They grew up as best friends, playing together all day long. They love to spend time together skiing and exploring the outdoors no matter what state or country they are in. Mallory has been there for all of Peyton's big life events so there is no way Peyton could say "I do" without having Mallory standing up there by her side.
Bridesmaid
Roan is a Fairbanks girl-now in medical school in Anchorage. Peyton and Roan became friends in elementary school and bonded over birthday parties, skiing, homework assignments and AP classes. They love to catch up whenever they are both back in Fairbanks, ideally over beers at a lake house.
Bridesmaid
Jessie is a Fairbanks girl-living currently in Philadelphia. Peyton and Jessie have shared infancy, toddlerhood, elementary, middle and high school, cross-country skiing, dogs, houses, summer camps and life's ups and downs. Even though they do not get the chance to meet up in person as often as they would like, they always talk for hours and hours when they do.
Bridesmaid
McKayla and Peyton met at Oregon State University and became fast friends. She is not a Fairbanks girl but judging by the size of that fish she is holding... she would fit in nicely! McKayla was one of the first of Peyton's friends to meet Daniel and told her right away that he was perfect for her. Peyton and Daniel love to take weekend trips to Portland to visit McKayla and her husband Trevor.
Groom
Daniel is a southern California boy who spent his life looking for a place to fall in love with and a woman to fall in love with and he found both of those in Alaska.
Best Man
Daniel spends his days molding the minds of the youth of America (teacher), biking and exploring the outdoors with his awesome girlfriend, and cuddling on the couch with his adorable cats. Daniel and Daniel met while working together at Dominos making the best quality pizza that a low rent franchise chain could provide.
Groomsman

Groomsman
Kyle and Daniel became friends when both were attending Chico state. While Kyle wasn't "technically" one of the roommates in Daniel's house, he could always be found hanging around the house between classes. Daniel and Kyle love talking about great books, cigars, and new breweries they have tried. Both have grown closer since leaving Chico and always make time for each other when they are in the same area.
Groomsman
Cameron is another friend Daniel made during his time at Dominos. Cameron and Daniel also spent several years as roommates and became close friends during that time. Daniel has become so close to Cameron and has been lucky enough to watch him grow into an amazing husband and father. Whenever Daniel visits Chico or drives through he always makes sure to stop in and spend time with Cameron and his amazing family.
Groomsman
Tyler is one of Daniel's oldest friends and first roommates when he got a place off campus in Chico. They stayed close friends in Chico and stay close to this day.

Tyler and Daniel tend to spend hours texting about football and more specifically fantasy football.
