Wedding Party
Sophia Pipis
Matron of Honor
Sophia isn’t just my best friend—she’s become a sister to me in every form of the word. She has been my rock, my confidante, and a constant source of love and support through life’s ups and downs. Sophia has stood by me through every challenge and triumph, and I truly can’t imagine this special day without her by my side. She is my family, and I feel so grateful to have her in my life, now and always.
Helena Pipis
Maid of Honor
Helena isn’t just Sophia’s sister—she’s become a sister to me too. Through my friendship with Sophia, her family embraced me as one of their own, and Helena has been such a meaningful part of that journey. She’s always there for me, with unwavering patience, kindness, and a sense of humor that makes even the craziest moments easier. I appreciate Helena more than words can say, and having her by my side on this special day is a reminder of how lucky I am to call her my friend and sister.
Mara Johnson
Bridesmaid
Mara has been my closest friend since we were just 13 years old. She’s been my ride-or-die through every stage of life—through the highs, the lows, and all the in-between moments. Our friendship has grown from two awkward high schoolers figuring out life to navigating adulthood and motherhood together. I feel so incredibly blessed to have Mara in my life, and I couldn’t imagine this day without her by my side, just as she’s always been.
Jes Ramos
Bridesmaid
Jes is Emilio’s eldest sister, and from the moment we started dating, she welcomed me with open arms and treated me like family. Her warmth and love made me feel instantly at home, and over time, she’s become the big sister I never knew I needed. Jes’s strength, kindness, and unwavering support inspire me, and I feel truly blessed to call her my sister-in-law. Having her by my side on this special day means more to me than words can express.
Leah Kellie
Bridesmaid
Leah’s warm, bubbly personality is something I’ve admired from the moment we met. She’s been Emilio’s friend since they were just five years old, and in knowing her, I’ve found not just a friend but someone who brings so much joy and light into my life. Leah has a way of lifting people up, and our shared love of chaotic adventures and nerdy art has made every moment with her unforgettable. Having her with me on this special day is such a gift.
Meranda Kellie
Bridesmaid
Meranda is a kindred spirit in every sense of the word. From the moment we met, it felt like we’d known each other forever. She gets the way my mind works in a way that few people do, and I cherish the connection we’ve built through shared experiences and laughter. Meranda’s strength, humor, and heart mean the world to me, and I feel incredibly lucky to have her by my side—not just today, but in life.

Henry Lievens
Officiant
From the very start, Henry has been more than a friend—he has been family. His humor, wisdom, and welcoming spirit have made an immeasurable impact on our lives. Whether he's sharing words of advice, cracking a joke at just the right moment, or pulling us into his legendary shenanigans, Henry brings warmth and joy wherever he goes. We are endlessly grateful for the way he has embraced us as his own, making us feel at home in his presence. His kindness, laughter, and unwavering support remind us that family isn’t just about where you come from—it’s about the people who choose to stand by your side. It means the world to us that Henry, alongside Betzi, will be officiating our wedding. There is no one better to guide us into this next chapter than someone who has already shown us so much love, wisdom, and joy. Henry, we love and appreciate you beyond words. Thank you for your guidance, your mischief, and most of all, your heart. Our wedding day wouldn’t be complete without you, and we’re so lucky to have you in our lives—now and always.
Betzi Lievens
Officiant
From the moment I met Betzi, she radiated warmth, kindness, and family love that I have cherished ever since. What started as a friendship with her niece so many years ago grew into something even more precious—a deep connection with Betzi and the entire Pipis clan, a family I now call my own. Betzi has been a constant source of love, support, and joy. Her nurturing spirit, boundless creativity, and bubbly personality make every moment brighter. Whether through her kind words, caring presence, or simply the way she welcomes others with open arms, Betzi has a way of making the world feel a little kinder and a lot more colorful. It is an honor to have her, alongside Henry, officiate our wedding—a day that wouldn’t feel complete without her presence. She has been a part of our family journey, and now, she will stand with us as we begin this next chapter of our lives. Betzi, we love and appreciate you beyond words. Thank you for your unwavering kindness, your laughter, and your endless support. Our hearts are fuller because you are in our lives, and we are forever grateful to have you as family.
