Bride and Groom.
Parents to Pumpkin and Mavis. Lovers of Marvel movies, Disney and dat knee, rugby, puns and the beach.
Fur Babes
While Pumpkin and Mavis won't be able to join us on the big day, they are VERY important to Agustin and Brandi. They have been most helpful as emotional support, Brandi's secretary (they slept most the time but were paid well) and they are just a constant happiness in this world. We know they would soak up all the love but they will happily be at home waiting for mom and dad.
Father of the Bride
The best girl dad in the world. He always has a joke ready (it might not always be PG), he has always worked hard to provide for his family, always showed me what it means to be selfless and taught me what it means to be spoiled. As much as my dad loves all things manly, the day I told him I wanted to do pageants he went above and beyond. That never changed, as he even went wedding dress shopping with me and picked my dream dress before I could even see the vision. In the blink of an eye, his once little girl walking on the stage is now a bride. I obviously need him to walk with me on the biggest stage of my life.
Mother of the Bride
As if being a mom isn't hard enough, my mom not only have five children but imagine having ME as the youngest. She is an amazing singer, big personality and one of the most giving people I know. From volleyball, cheer, dance, pageantry, my love of animals she has guided me through my biggest moments even when it was a learning process. My wedding day won't be any different and I will forever be grateful to have my mom with me on our big day.
Father of the Groom
Agustin’s dad was a loving father of seven and grandfather to many wonderful grandkids. He was a hard woking and driven person that only wanted the best for his family. During his last conversation with Agustin they had talked about life, kids and happiness. During this his dad telling him that “All he wanted was to see him get married, be a dad and find happiness in life”. Porfirio Peralta passed January 23rd 2023, Agustin misses him everyday but has said that since getting engaged he has felt his dad with him more and more. Even though he is not with us physically, we know that he is still here with us in spirit smiling down on everyone. We know he would be so proud of his baby boy finding the happiness he wished for him. I (Brandi) was lucky enough to meet Porfirio only one time but during that meeting he was so kind, welcoming and made me feel like family. He joked about Agustin finally bringing a girl home and asked when we would get married or have kids. In that short visit I knew this family would be in my life forever. Porfirio; Thank you for raising such an incredible man. You are the best father in law I could have asked for and I am grateful I got to meet you. We love you.
Mother of the Groom
Whenever I see my mom, the first thing she does is hug me and go on and on about how I'm her baby and that's always how it's been. It's one of the first things that comes to mind when I think about her and will always make me so happy. She is the life of the party with her social personality, she's funny, is a great mom and an even better grandma. My wedding day will be a very hard day without my dad, but I am still grateful to have my mom there with me on the biggest day of my life.
Best Man
From sharing birthday parties as kids to helping share one of the biggest moments of my life, I couldn't think of anyone better to be my best man, my brother Manny. We've become so much closer since becoming adults and have been there for quite a few big moments in each others' lives. Funny, sarcastic, smart, and the life of the party are just a few of the ways I would describe him. We might not see each other as much as we used to, but I know that whenever I need him I can always count on him, and that is why this October he will be standing by my side one more time.
Maid of Honor
My favorite sister, forever friend and of course my maid of honor. My sister and I are like yin and yang, different but without the other we aren't complete. She is an amazing mom, has a heart for adventure and she will almost never turn down a beach day. Nobody truly knows you like your own sister and while we might be each others biggest annoyance sometimes I have always know I could look to her in my times of need. I am so thankful to have her standing by my side on such a huge day.
Groomsman
It's not often you find a relative that's closer than the title, but Ricky has passed being a cousin to being the little brother I never had. I met him and his family when I first moved to Oregon and we have been so close ever since. No words can say enough just how much this guy means to me and after Brandi and I got engaged, after my best man he was the first person to come to mind about being a groomsman. He is so funny and is social and wants everybody to get along and have a great time. I'm so happy he will be there to share this day with me.
Bridesmaid
My best friend. Dez is endlessly punny, can make anybody smile even on the worst day, the best cat mom, the best adventure buddy and all around such a wonderful person. Since the day we met we have shared an unbreakable bond that I couldn't imagine my life without. She is the second sister I never thought id have but I'm so grateful she is in my life. In a world full of blueberries she is a raspberry (if you know you know).
Groomsman
My future brother in law. We started as teammates and friends on the Salem rugby team , soon I can call you a brother. Even before Brandi and I started dating he supported me being in her life and always made me feel welcomed. Ajay is a funny, easy to talk to and full of fun facts. He is a great dog dad to his dog Hinata, much like his family he has a very caring nature for those in need; human and animal alike.
Bridesmaid
One of the sweetest and kindest people I have ever met. Allyson and I met through Agustin's job and I knew she was somebody I could easily call a friend. She pushes me outside my comfort zone, is always willing to listen (even when I'm complaining about the same thing for the 10th time). Her personality shines so brightly but she also never puts anybody in a shadow. One of the best things we have bonded over is having kittens that are sister. She has been such an amazing cat mom and I'm so grateful that one of Mavis's sisters found such a loving home with you. No matter where life takes us we will always have that. #catmomsforlife

It's not often you get to meet a coworker that becomes such a close friend but I got lucky with Kyle. His sarcastic sense of humor falls right in line with mine, and it helps having a coworker that's not twice my age. He and his wife Allyson have become some of my closest friends and I couldn't be more thankful for them and my job.
Bridesmaid
Jerrica was my first and only sister in law for many years, but she has always felt like my actual sister. Ive known Jerrica since I was in middle school and she was friends with my older siblings, she would of course later marry into the family. She is an amazing mother to my beautiful nieces Ellie and Aria, an amazing baker and photographer, singer and she is the nicest person I know. She handles life with so much grace and I don't think there is anything she can't do. She is always amazing me with her crafting abilities.
Groomsman
Another one of my cousins that I love like a little brother, our bond began over sports, especially basketball. We would spend countless summers from morning to night doing nothing but playing ball together, and looking back those are some of my favorite memories since moving to Oregon. Without the love of him and his family, I genuinely don't know where I would be in my life. Never afraid to speak his mind and one of the best husbands I've ever met, the way he loves his wife inspires me to be the best husband I can hope to be.
Bridesmaid
My favorite cousin and little sister I never thought I would have. We went from only seeing each other on family holidays to spending weeks at a time with each other. We both grew up doing pageants and I got to see her go from a little girl to a confident, strong and beautiful women. Maya is a talented singer, strong in her faith and helped me find mine. She is also a very talented in painting and basically anything she wants to learn. I swear she sees something and decides she can, she is endlessly talented.

When I first met Kyle in 2018, Brandi and I hadn't been dating yet, but he was one of the first people to be so supportive of us when we started dating. Since then, our relationship has evolved from knowing him as Brandi's brother-in-law to becoming one of my closest friends and one of the best fathers I know. When you think about how long I've known him, it doesn't feel nearly that long and that's how it should be with friends. Almost 6 years of knowing him and he still manages to surprise me in subtle ways.
Bridesmaid
Because Mari lives in California I don't get to see her as often as I would like, but when I do its always so much fun. The very first time Agustin and I went to California together in 2019 Mari was kind enough to invite us to their Thanksgiving. That was the first time I met his older brothers and I got to meet his dad for the first and only time. This was also only my second time meeting Mari, she made me feel at home. She is genuinely such a sweet and caring person and a great mom. She has been incredibly helpful and patient with me, I am so lucky to call you my sister in law.
Ring Bearer
The coolest and cutest bear in the world. Benny is the protector of our rings, a lover of cars and his uncle Auggie. Yes he is tall, yes he's silly and yes he will give you silliest face or a side eye.
Flower Girl
The coolest, spunky, crazy dancing little girl in the world. Ellie is the little one that made Brandi an aunt. She taught Brandi a love she had never felt before, loving a kid like your own even when they aren't. She is going to be the coolest teenager.
