Wedding Party
Gabby Leeser
Maid of Honor
When Gabby and Marie got inducted into the Grenache Crew, they had no idea they would become BEST friends. Sophomore year they lived together and the love grew! They continued living together for the rest of their time in college and since moving apart have talked almost every day. From San Francisco nights, Napa wine days, Lollapalooza, Coachella, Bottlerock, and any other festival or party you are guaranteed to find them together usually twinning out! Gabby is kind, empathetic, and beautiful inside and out. Expect Gabby to be right by Marie's side all day (not twinning, unfortunately) making sure she doesn't spill wine on her dress.
Mitch Schultz
Groomsman
When Alexander met Mitch they don't even remember since they were so young! With Mitch just being a year younger and his parents being Alexander's Godparents, they were destined to be close friends. Growing up they were always together at family and friend events or roaming the streets of San Leandro, of course staying out of trouble. They continue to still text daily about sports and get together often in their new hometowns. Expect Mitch to be getting down on the dance floor with Marianne and the crew.
Adriana Madrigal
Bridesmaid
When Marie met Adriana after she married Luis (Miller's groomsman and fellow Grenache Crew member) she knew she couldn't not love her. From party planning together, Mexico adventures, talking chisme, and singing at the top of their lungs, Adriana compliments Marie at any party. She is the planning queen, and animal loving mama who always goes above and beyond for her friends. You can expect her to run the show better than our planner, or taking a shot of tequila with Moni!
Lui Madrigal
Groomsman
When Alexander met Lui it was the first day of Sonoma State Orientation. They were instant friends and realized that they were living in the same village freshman year. Throughout the years they got close sharing a room together, carpooling to Sonoma for the weekends to visit the crew, and every party or event in between. Lui will always be the cook and Miller the clean-up crew. Expect him to be critiquing the food and making sure Alexander has a drink in hand all night.
Monica Tabayoyong
Bridesmaid
When Marie met Monica through Grenache Crew friends, she felt an instant connection! From countless nights in Redwood City, crazy times in Mexico for BachSh*tCrazy, or just laughing together until they cry Moni is always there with a smile. She is Marie's fellow Pisces queen, Mexicana Mama, and the sweetest person you will meet. Expect her to be laughing while videoing the ridiculous things Marie does, or taking a shot of tequila with Adriana!
David Golden
Groomsman
When David and Alexander met through Lui in the dorms, they knew they had a solid crew starting. Throughout the years they bonded, attending many baseball games and parties in college, and continued to stay in touch with phone calls and visits to David's new home in Hawaii. David is a continuous explorer and always has something sports related to talk about with Miller. Expect him to be surveying the trees on our venue's property or pulling crazy surprises out of his bag.
Laura Ogle
Bridesmaid
When Marie met Laura, their weirdness and love intertwined ("two halves make a whole face")! Lo ended up living on Marie's party house couch as they were both newly graduated from college and the friendship grew. From Wing Wednesdays (Or "Turkey & Sauce Wednesdays" when their kitchen burnt down), many Butter and Eggs festivals, a Hellogoodbye concert, and every fun day in between Laura is always down for a ride! She is original, all loving, and the most honest of the crew. Expect her to be helping Marie make a selfie stick with her shoe or chatting up the whole party, friends and adults alike!
Peter Fonteneau
Groomsman
When Alexander first met Peter it was in the wild west of the freshmen dorms their first year. They quickly became friends and lived together in the best party house at Sonoma State that next year. From traveling around going to concerts, and continuously eating Mexican food, their similar interests are never ending. Expect Peter to be cracking jokes with the families and dancing with his lady all night long.
Morgan Maich
Bridesmaid
When Marie met Morgan she knew she had to be on her best behavior since she was already an established friend with RWC boys in the Grenache Crew. After Marie tried to help her find her snake in her dorm while hysterically laughing along the way, they knew they would be friends. From getting Marie a job at ExEd, Emen's at McGinnis, Cotati bar nights, and Bottlerock days Morgan makes Marie laugh-cry every single time they are together. Expect her to be cracking a joke, or making sure not to say the word "blueberry" with the Grenache crew.
Jon Theodore
Groomsman
When Alexander first met Jon it was in middle school but they didn't become friends until later on. Together they played baseball and did "what high school guys do" with the San Leandro crew. From running a muck in Chico, and going to concerts all over, they have always stayed in touch even living in different cities. Expect Jon to always have a drink in hand to "cheers" with the bride and groom.
Jake Schultz
Officiant
Jake is Alexander's long time family friend, his Godparents son, and one of Mitch's brothers. When Marie met Jake they instantly got along with their outgoing personalities complementing each other. Jake and his wife Mandee have grown close to Alexander and Marie, and have included them in many of their big life moments and events. Expect Jake to make you laugh during the ceremony and get down with the married couple on the dance floor!
Adelynn & Laura
Flower Babes
Adelynn is Alexander and Marie's first niece and Alexander's sister Laura's, daughter. They are thrilled that they are able to include their first and only niece (so far) on their special day. Laura and (as she calls him) Ander have been close their whole lives, and she welcomed Marie with open arms into the family. Expect her to be laughing and dancing with her husband Robbie but also getting down to Bay Area rap with the San Leandro crew.
