Dominique and Kay have been friends for over 13 years. They first met at volleyball tryouts freshman year at Beaverton High School. They later discovered their love for the Portland Trail Blazers, often talked about their favorite players, and even started going to games together. After high school, Dominique and Kay attended Oregon State University where they grew very close and spent every weekend, if not every day together. Today, Dominique and Kay still remain close and often have happy hour and mani/pedi dates to catch up on what has been going on in their busy lives. Dominique works as a Social Worker at Randall Children’s Hospital in Portland, Oregon. During her free time, she enjoys traveling and going on adventures with her fiancé and their two dogs, Kobe and Bailey. Dominique is beyond excited to stand with Kay and Alex on their BIG day.
Maddie and Kay met in 2010, during their freshman year at OSU. Quickly, they became united through their shared interest of HGTV, The Bachelor, and Kay’s disgust in a box of milkduds. Their sophomore year, Kay, Maddie, and Gabby moved into a triplex near campus and became sisters, living together for the next three years. After graduating from OSU, Maddie and Kay lived together in Oahu, Hawaii. They spent their days working with the children on the Ford Island Navy base and their weekends sunbathing, hiking, and eating poke galore. After Hawaii, Maddie moved back to Eugene, Oregon, where she now works as a personal trainer. Maddie can't wait to be apart of Kay and Alex's special day!
Some would say it was love at first sight when Kay and Gabby roomed together their sophomore year of college at Oregon State. They bonded over talking about absolutely nothing and absolutely everything at the same time and discussing the latest episode of Duck Dynasty. Gabby loves spending time with Kay’s family and loves that Kay likes spending time with hers. One of the best things Kay’s friendship brings is showering her friends with love and Gabby looks forward to being able to do that for her and Alex as they start on their adventure together. Gabby has since moved back to Eugene and is slowly taking over the family business where she likes to make customers full and happy with chips, salsa, and margaritas.
Jacey and Kay met during their years at Oregon State University but their friendship truly blossomed during their junior year when they lived in houses just down the train tracks from each other!

Not even living on opposite sides of the state can dampen their love for each other! Kay is truly a ray of sunshine and Jacey cannot wait to stand with her and Alex on such a special day!
Justin and Kay met freshman year at Oregon State, in Mr.Keith Stone's math class. Through group projects, two broken laptops, running away and drinking tequila in closets, watching Intervention with the crew, putting mattresses in the living room, car rides with Kay and the Gays and moving into The 442 Crevice together, they figured out how to really be there for each other through life’s up and downs. 10 years later their friendship has lasted through all the buckness. After college, Justing moved to Medford, Oregon, where he works as a digital media marketer. Justin can't wait to celebrate with Kay and Alex on the wedding day.
