Kyndra is the Mama of 2 year old Daniel. She has been best friends with Alexandria since 2010. They have been through so much together. They started out by living next to each other with sleep overs galore! In 2018, Kyndra and her mama left CA for GA. Alexandria had the pleasure of traveling through 9 states with them on their long journey to find their new home. By 2020, Kyndra was back in CA and got to be an "Aunt" to Alexandria & Andrew's new baby boy. In 2021, Kyndra moved in with the couple and their 1 year old son and got to make special, cozy memories through the Fall and Winter seasons. After Kyndra moved out in 2022, she had surprising and amazing news! Alexandria was going to be an "Aunt" as well! A couple of weeks after her announcement, Alexandria found she was expecting as well; Lots of emotions flooded everyone's minds. By January 2023 Kyndra welcomed her son Daniel and 12 days later Alexandria & Andrew welcomed their daughter Marina. Most recently the families got the special chance to come together once again, live together for a week plus some, and let the babies play nonstop for a week.

Taya is Alexandria’s older sister, she has taught Alexandria a lot! From using an easy bake oven to dissecting lizards. When they were young, Taya would love to play ‘teacher’. When she got home from school, Alexandria who was only about 4, would be her student. Every summer they would play in the back yard creating crazy weird mixtures in various bowls and pretend to eat it like soup or try to serve it to our parents. They would pick cherry plums from their tree and try making jelly and they went to the local pool almost every day (Alexandria would drag her there some days since she was too young to go by herself). Taya and Alexandria spent each summer going to Washington to visit their family, and on the way home they would stop in Oregon to go camping at Honeyman State Park. Alexandria loves all of these awesome and unforgettable memories and will always hold them close to her heart for as long as she lives... and then some.

Kelcey is Mama to 2 year old Tallulah. She is also Alexandria’s cousin, so Kelcey has known Alexandria since birth and Alexandria has known Kelcey since she developed memory. Kelcey is the only cousin Alexandria has in California. They have shared many fun family nights, game nights, birthdays, and holidays together. Kelcey has always been like a big sister to Alexandria and Taya, Alexandria’s older sister. In 2022 Kelcey got to surprise the family with a beautiful pregnancy and in June of 2022 Alexandria got butterflies of overwhelming joy to be able to be there for her and hold Kelcey’s newborn daughter Tallulah, only 8 hours old! Now our children get to share holidays and memories together growing up, just as Kelcey, Taya, and Alexandria got to! The most recent fun outing Kelcey and Alexandria went to was an Avril Lavigne concert kid free and had a blast!!!!!

Taitumn is Alexandria's cousin. Even though they have always lived 2 states away, Tait and Alex were besties at every family get-together. Whether they were just hanging out talking about life, asking their cousin Kelcey to dye their hair, or getting into mischief they did it side by side. Alexandria would go to Washington for family Christmas every year possible as a kid. For Christmas excitement their grandparents would put a sheet up between the dining room and living room and all the kids had to finish breakfast before opening presents. One of Alex's favorite memories was Tait wanted to copy everything Alex was doing one year. Alex asked her Nah Nah for oatmeal, so along came Tait and asked for the same. After their Nah Nah argued with Tait since she knew Tait did infact not like oatmeal she gave in and served her oatmeal. That Christmas we ended up waited an extra 30-40 minutes while Taitumn took in her unwanted oatmeal verrry slowly.

Maya is Mama to 3 year old Colter. She has been friends with the couple since 2022. Even though they haven’t known each other for as long as some of the others in the wedding party, they have gone on some amazing adventures together. Camping, hiking, just hanging out having game nights, and hosting weekly dinner dates so their kids can play together. One of Alex's favorite trips was last winter when Alexandria, Andrew, Maya, and Justin, and the kids rented a cabin near Yosemite together to play in the snow, have cozy nights, and go on a mini hike to a lake. To their surprise, after reading a sign saying they were at the lake, it was no where to be seen due to low water. So they ended the day taking a picture in the middle of the dry lake, where the water would usually be and let the kids play in the snow covered sand. Most recently Maya had a birthday camping trip in Kennedy Meadows where they played in water, went on a horseback trail ride, and Alexandria got to meet Maya's best friend and family members! Many more trips to be planned for these two!

Hilary and Alexandria met at school in 2016 when Hilary and her family moved to California from Canada! They clicked immediately. Hilary asked Alexandria if she wanted to go on a camping trip to Pinecrest Lake. She said yes and they had a blast! Alexandria got to meet her extended family and share such amazing memories with them. When Hilary’s family left for a hike, Hilary and Alexandria stayed back to play in the water... without any sunscreen… for about 5 hours! They came home with some awesome stories and a semi- permanent bathing suit shaped sunburns. Hilary later traveled to Washington with Alexandria's Family - along side Jules who was an exchange student from France and Alexandria’s brother for a year. They went camping, met Alexandria’s extended family, and visited some cool views including the Seattle Space Needle and the Pike Place Gum Wall! Since then, Hilary and Alexandria have had quite a few outgoing trips! Most recently Alexandria had the honor of being Hilary’s bridesmaid in 2023!

Although Justin and Andrew have known each other for the least amount of time comparatively, their friendship has made leaps and bounds very quickly. They met in 2022 after Maya and Alexandria became friends. Since then the two of them have been through quite a few adventures together and are a great team when its time to get something done. Whether its repairing vehicles in the rain or in the harbor to weekly family game nights and bonfires, they both know they can call on each other at any hour of the day or night. It's not often you would find a duo like these two gentlemen.

In the beginning of 2006, Jen and Ed sat Andrew down to deliver some very important and exciting news.. Andrew was going to be a big brother! Andrew waited and waited and waited for the day his new baby brother was born. On July 8th 2006, he witnessed the miracle of childbirth 5 years before any of his peers in 6th grade sex-ed class, almost passed out for obvious reasons, and then got to hold his new baby brother.. which almost made him pass out again from the elation of his new baby brother finally being brought into this world. Now, it would be foolish to assume that Lucas and Andrew were the perfect angel children that always got along with a 6 year age gap throughout their childhood. They've had their share of good and not-so-good times as brothers may, but nothing would ever be able to break them apart. They shared family vacations, holidays, and too many memories with their family to count. Andrew moved out in 2019 and Lucas has since continued living with their parents in Nevada City. Whereas Andrew may not show it, there isn't a day that goes by that he doesn't miss his little brother and wishes the two could be together. As much as the distance separating them may be quite far, or the conversations be sparse, Andrew knows one day they will be reunited and going through life together once again.

Alex and Andrew met in 7th grade after Alex's family moved from Lafayette to Nevada City, unknowingly less than a mile away from Andrew's parents. Alex had been part of Andrew's friend group through middle school but they weren't super close quite yet. They played little league baseball together yet never seemed to be placed on the same team. In high school they became inseparable and have many stories of the times they spent together.. Most of which probably shouldn't be outlined in great detail on a wedding website. These teenage partners-in-crime enjoyed many nights at Andrew's parent's house where Alex became 1 of 2 "honorary sons" as recognized by Jen, Andrew's mother. After Andrew moved to the Santa Cruz area, Alex shortly followed suit and moved to Portland and has a successful career as a chef in various upscale restaurants.

Pierce is Andrew's most longstanding friend. They met in 3rd grade after Andrew transferred from Sierra Presbyterian to Deer Creek. Although it was an elementary school friendship, it planted roots for a better connection through middle school and high school as well. Pierce grew up only a few miles away from Andrew off the same main road. Pierce and Andrew played little league together as well but still, never seemed to be placed on the same team. Many memories and many nights were shared between the two at Andrew's parent's house where Pierce became 1 of 2 "honorary sons" as recognized by Jen, Andrew's mother. After Andrew moved to the Santa Cruz area, Pierce finished his degree and is now an esteemed foreign vehicle technician near their hometown.

Tanner and Andrew had met in high school through mutual friends and Groomsmen, Alex and Pierce. Whereas the beginning of their relationship was curated by the shared experiences of the 4 young men - Tanner and Andrew grew closer and ended up being very great friends themselves, now going on almost a decade.

Elias and Andrew met when Andrew moved to the Santa Cruz area in 2019. He is wed to bridesmaid Hillary as of January 2023. Andrew was unsure of meeting one of Alex's friend's boyfriends at first, especially while settling into his new home after the move. After taking the leap and meeting with the other couple for lunch, Elias and Andrew formed a bond that anyone else would've guessed was already a decade old. They've shared many adventures from up and down the coast to Yosemite Valley all the way to Lake Tahoe. Although both work very hard and long hours that may result in going for a bit of time between seeing each other, as soon as the two are reunited there isn't a beat missed.

Ed welcomed Andrew into this world alongside Jen on February 11, 2001. From that day on, he has taught and modeled to Andrew what being a true man really is. From the truest of feelings such as dealing with loss and sadness, truly smiling and laughing around family and friends, or buckling down and getting the hard work done. Ed has completed the hardest task that all fathers would hope to achieve; having a son that models themselves after you in everything they do and standby by the choice to do so in the face of anything thrown their way.

Jen welcomed Andrew into this world alongside Ed on February 11, 2001. From that day on, she has given Andrew the heart he holds dearly and taught him how to share with his own family. Jen has given Andrew his passion for the finer things in life, and not the ones that you would typically think- the quiet sunrises with the brisk morning air, walks through nature after dark, long drives up and down i5 and how to truly enjoy someone's company. Jen has completed the hardest task that all mothers would hope to achieve; raising a young man with a good heart and good morals to be able to pass through to his own family and her grandchildren.
