Katie & Wyatt
Wedding Party... Cortejo
Adilene Miranda
Maid of Honor
I’ve known Adilene since I was two years old and she has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. We grew up almost side by side, sharing family and every stage of school from preschool through high school. One of my most cherished memories is from preschool, when she noticed my shoelaces were untied and patiently stopped to help me, even talking me through each step so I could learn. I’m not sure why that moment stayed with me, but it perfectly reflects who she is, kind, thoughtful, and sweet. Growing up with Adi has been a gift, and she remains one of the most intelligent, caring, and genuinely beautiful souls I know.
Carson Dollard
Best Man
Carson is the best friend one can have. My brother Carson has always had my back and has always supported me through every up and down in my life. He is the best, kindest, most amazing person you could meet. I miss him every day that I’m away and I miss all the great conversations we would have when we would go out to the beach to watch the sunset. (And of course our hauls on sea of thieves)
Anthony Kellerman
Groomsman
I have known Anthony since elementary school, he’s a great dude who’s really down to earth and always a pleaser to be around. I always loved our funny conversations out at our cars after school.
Ben Crivello
Groomsman
I met Ben in sophomore year, we were walking home together when we exchanged gamer tags and we were best friends from there. We would game almost every day and talk in school together all the time. Till this day we still game together whenever we can and I greatly admire him as a friend.
Cynthia Tran
Bridesmaid
I’ve known Cynthia for two years, and we met at our current job. She is the most sincere, playful, and kind person I know, and I have nothing but good things to say about her. One memory I hold close is when we catered together and spent every break trying to catch up on sleep. It was a long day, but she made it feel that much shorter. Another memory I cherish greatly with this amazing girl was her coming with me to my wedding dress fitting. I had no one else to go with, and if it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t have had anyone to share that excitement with. I want to thank her for always making me feel welcomed and for being so kind and supportive. She offered her help many times to help make my wedding planning smoother, and I’m eternally grateful for that.
James Yates
Groomsman
James is a great person that I have known since my sophomore year of highschool. He is absolutely hilarious and we share a very similar sense of humor and we always had great conversations together. I miss hanging out at money pit and catching up together, he’s always a fun dude to hang out with. He’s like a brother to me.
Juan Alvarez
Groomsman
Jr is a great dude to be around and always a hater. I love working on cars and moving chairs and tables with him and the conversation is always great. He’s a great help to me and the family and always goes out of his way to lend a hand to me whenever I’m in need. Overall jr is a great guy who loves to mess around and poke fun at you whenever he can.
Jenalyn Conge
Bridesmaid
I’ve known Jenayln for two years, ever since we met, in her words, “it was love at first sight and we clicked instantly,” and honestly, she wasn’t wrong. We have so much in common that I'd say she’s me but in a different font. Her sarcasm and monotone voice are so perfect that for the longest time I couldn’t tell when she was joking or being serious, and I genuinely thought she might hate me… but really, she’s been my favorite coworker the whole time. One of my favorite memories is the time we couldn’t open a jar at work and, with no other choice, I embarrassingly had to ask a customer for help. I also can’t forget all the times we kept “huh-ing” at each other, it made even the longest shifts so much fun. I’m so grateful that, despite living far away, she made the trip to be here for this special day, it wouldn’t be the same without her.
Mariangela Gutierrez
Bridesmaid
I met Mari three years ago in French 2, and since then we’ve become incredibly close. Mari is one of the strongest, kindest, and most genuine people I know. I have so many memories with her, but two stand out the most. The first was our trip to Oceanside, neither of us are good with directions, and after taking the train we got off at the wrong stop. We ended up walking for 40 minutes in the dark, we were lost and unsure where we were, but somehow, it was one of the funniest adventures ever. The second memory is from the last time we hung out before she left for bootcamp. We went to see a horror movie, and Mari got so scared she screamed really loud into my ear. I couldn’t stop laughing! Mari has a way of making every moment unforgettable, and I’m so grateful to have her in my life.
Naimagail Manialong
Bridesmaid
I’ve known Naima for about three years, but it truly feels like so much longer. We first met in culinary arts, but it wasn’t until French 2 that we really became close. Naima is a special friend to both of us, she was originally Wyatt’s friend and later became mine, which makes her place in our lives even more meaningful. She is one of those people who always shows up for others, she's thoughtful, caring, and incredibly smart. One of my favorite memories with her is the day she asked me to take her to the bank after getting scammed. Despite the unfortunate situation, we somehow turned it into a moment I’ll always look back on with a smile. I have to thank her for helping Wyatt plan the perfect proposal and secretly figuring out my ring size without me suspecting a thing.
Luke Repak
Groomsman
Repak is a really great guy that I met while I was in LARMC and later worked with in LARTC as permanent personnel. He’s a really funny guy and a pleasure to be around. He’s always got stuff done on the ramp and was a great roommate back at the bricks. I miss all those times getting rage baited in the drivers hole whenever we had a break.
