Friends of Honor

Eric Riehle
Eric Riehle - Best Man
Scott and Eric met each other in 2009 while serving in the United States Air Force. The two of them were paired up on many missions, including one to Balad, Iraq, where they formed a great friendship. Eric and his wife, Brittany, live with their two young boys, Jackson and Lucas, in Cincinnati, Ohio. Eric, Brittany, Scott and Jyll took a cruise to Mexico together in 2016 where the fun never ended!
Sean Hollins
Sean Hollins - Friend of Honor
Sean and Scott met at a game store in the late '90s while playing boardgames and tabletop games in Orcutt/Santa Maria area. Sean, having served in the USAF prior to their meeting, gave Scott plenty of advice regarding joining the military and helped him settle on his decision. Over the years, Sean and his wife, Chris, and son, Rory (or Gunther, as Jillian calls him), have shared in some unique experiences with Jillian and Scott, including a trip to Reno, Nevada for the Lantern Festival. That was a wild time!
Randall "R.J." Thompson
Randall "R.J." Thompson - Friend of Honor
Randall and Jillian attended high school together at Rocklin High and shared some common friends, but it wasn't until they met again (for real) at the Rocklin Tabletop Game Group that their friendship really blossomed. A weekly event that we rarely missed, Randall (known as R.J. by friends) became a trustworthy, reliable friend that we have always enjoyed having nearby. When Randall told Scott and Jillian that he would be moving to Oregon to pursue his work goals, they had a hard time imagining outings without him... But after meeting the love of his life, Jasmine, and seeing how great they are for one another, we understood that he was living his best life. Scott and Jillian were both in their wedding party on a lovely day in Oregon, close to where they reside with their four-legged baby, Ranga.
Chase Jones
Chase Jones - Friend of Honor
Chase met Scott while the two of them worked at Sierra College while they both attended as students. Having similar interests despite an age difference, Chase became one of Scotts closest friends. Before Chase married his long-time girlfriend, Holly, in a beautiful wedding, the 4 of them had several fun times together - including a particularly silly trip to Dave & Busters... But don't ask to see the pictures! ;)
Brahm Amott
Brahm Amott - Friend of Honor
Scott met Brahm around 1997 while gathering at a game store to play D&D with a game group. Both living in Orcutt/Santa Maria area, and having common interests, the two quickly forged a friendship that has continued throughout their lives. Since then, each time Scott and Jillian are in the area, they make sure to meet up with Brahm when he is available. More recently, Brahm, Scott, and Jillian took a trip to Death Valley National Park where the three of them embarked on all sorts of adventures!
Logan Aust
Logan Aust - Friend of Honor
Logan and Scott met one another at a local tabletop game group that Scott eventually connected Jillian with. Logan quickly became one of our close friends that we knew we could rely on for a great time. Between talking about games and military service with Scott, to discussing whiskeys and cats with Jillian, Logan was a fixture in our friend circle and our Big Day wouldn't be complete without him!
Jasmine Thompson
Jasmine Thompson - Friend of Honor
Jasmine was introduced to us by Randall, and after hearing so many great things about her, we could only agree after meeting her for ourselves! It's been years since then, and sometimes months go by between us being in close contact, but our time together always feels comfortable and productive. Being such a thoughtful and caring person has only helped Jasmine work her way closer to our hearts!
