Jordan & Amanda go way back to diapers and matching pigtails, besties since birth! Technically they are cousins, but refer to each other as sisters. They've been on so many adventures together. Jordan visited Amanda when she was studying abroad.. Christmas in Rome at the Vatican, New Years Eve in Paris under the Eiffel Tower, and now she will be standing next to Amanda on her biggest adventure yet!
Alexis Jackson

Amanda's oldest little sister, Lexi. You can catch her binge watching One Tree Hill or Criminal Minds with Amanda for the 18th time and crying like they have never seen it before.

The next youngest Jackson sister, Allyson. (Amanda's little twin) Allyson always knows how to make anyone laugh and especially Amanda. Ally is very kind and soft-spoken. If you ever need to call 911, she may be the one showing up to help you. Daniel is excited to gain Allyson as a sister!
Amber Jackson
Bridesmaid
The baby of the family, Amanda's youngest sister, Amber. 11 year age gap does not take away from them having so much fun together.

Daniel is excited to gain Amber as a sister!

If we are lucky enough we might hear him sing a song toward the end of the reception.
Matt Mazzoni

From valley championship games to high school parties, Matt and Daniel had to hang out because they carpooled together. Sometime in between the long drives to and from the ranchos they developed a great friendship. Now a days, they are planning a carpool to the golf course. Daniel was blessed to be a groomsman in Matts wedding.
