Jenny Williams
Maid of Honor & Sister

Jenny is my little sister (3 years younger), and my very best friend.  I tease that when I have an event in my life it hasn’t “really happened” until I tell Jen about it. Jenny is an amazing person.  There is no one in the world that makes me laugh longer or harder than she can.  She is beautiful, talented, and caring.  I need her in my life everyday, and I’m so lucky to have her stand with me at my wedding as the best M.O.H ever!  Pippa beware.

Heather Kramarczyk
Bridesmaid & Cousin

Heather is my older cousin, but cousin doesn’t capture it – she really is my big sister.  Heather is the heart of our family.  You can always count on her to bring everyone together for events.  We may live across the country from each other but if you need Heather, she’ll be there . . .instantly.  I have always looked up to her.  She wears her heart on her sleeve – in a way that I find not only wonderful to be around, but all out brave!  I was blessed to be Heather’s maid-of-honor at her wedding & so grateful to have her beside me on this important day.  Thanks Heatheeeeee – I love you.

Megan
Bridesmaid & Cousin

Growing up Megan was always “the little one” of the cousins on my dad’s side.  She has the world’s best giggle (make sure to find her during the wedding weekend & make her laugh – you won’t be sorry).  The great surprise is how much we have in common as women.  Megan has a beautiful, compassionate spirit.  We both have a strong hunger to build our spiritual lives –and we are so lucky to have each other to help along the way.   Thank you for sharing this important day with me Maybo!  I love you. 

Keith Bearden
Best Man & Friend

Keith once told me 'oy, these woolen trousers give me such schpilkis.' I never believed him but believe me when I say that he's the best pal a guy can know. I have known Mr. Bearden for 20+ years and the great thing about our friendship is that we've continued to grow more and more fond of each other. Keith is funny, caring and smart as a whip. He's got an almost encyclopedic grasp of music and movies, and rarely ever forgets a face. His wife, Kat, hails from Denmark and is quite a pip herself! If you see them at the reception, don't hesitate to go up and ask him what Kim Cattrall is really like in person! Thanks for being my bestie, Keith!

Peter Spotts
Groomsman & Friend

Although he's a gentle and kindred soul, Peter works a 'man's man' job at a mill producing cellulose blocks that are shipped all over the world. Additionally, Peter is an excellent singer and musician and husband and friend. He likes to cook but he also likes to pickle things like cabbage and, well, cabbage. Peter and I love to sing and play guitar together, and once we recorded an album entitled 'Les Sorciers'. Unfortunately or fortunately, you can't get it at iTunes. I love him like a brother, and I love his wife, Dawn, like a sister. Yer the best, Peter!

Rob Keithan
Unitarian Officiate & Friend

Rob met Laura while traveling abroad in Switzerland during college and they have been dear friends ever since.  He has recently become a UU minister and we are so happy to have him as the officiate of our wedding.  He has excellent taste in friends, food and drink.  We are thrilled to have him bless our union.

Ann & Bob Williams
Parents of the Bride

My parents have ruined me for life!  They have ruined me because they make marriage and building a happy family life together – look easy!  My parents live with more sincere joy & integrity than anyone else I know.  As I am starting a family of my own, I have two amazing role models – in them as people, as parents, and as husband & wife.  I am so proud to be their daughter, and grateful for their continued love and support of Ken & I.  Thanks mom & dad – I love you. 

Beth Johnston
Mother of the Groom

What can I say about my Mom - brave, kind, giving and forgiving. She raised 6 boys, ran a theater company, and was director of finance for human services for Snohomish County. She still directs and stage manages plays in her seaside town of Florence, OR. I have always felt pretty blessed that she's my Mom and I love her dearly.
