Analise is the epitome of what a true friend is. I've never met someone who is sincerely happy for other people's accomplishments like she is. She really just wants all her friends to be happy. She's selfless and such a caretaker, she has definitely made my life feel complete. I am so honored to be a part of this wedding and watching two of my closest friends commit to spending forever together. She deserves all the happiness in the world.

I met Analise in 2017 when my little brother and her had me and my two kids over for dinner. I already felt as if I knew her since my brother talked about her all the time. I fell in love with her and her son Ruben instantly as did my kids. I could see how much her and her brother loved each other which is all I wanted for my baby brother. She was perfect!! We instantly bonded. I knew I had gained a sister and a nephew that day and that they belonged in our family. I am so blessed to be a part of their special day. I wish them so much happiness and blessings. I love you Analise! Thank you for being my sister!

Me and Tom have been friends for over 20 years. I knew him as my grandparent's next door neighbor and we would play basketball all the time. I'm excited that Tom and Anna have allowed m to share their special day together. And I'm glad that he met her and started a beautiful family

From the moment we met I knew we were gonna have an ever lasting friendship! I never met someone so caring and loving. Her strength is beyond words. She is an amazing mother, wife, godmother, and friend. I'm so proud of this woman and super excited for her and Tommy's journey together as husband and wife and even more excited that they chose me as one of the special people they wanted to share this monumental moment with! I luv both of you guys and can only imagine what's in store for your family blessings upon blessings!!! And I never met another family who was so deserving!

Analise and I are the definition of "friends who became family" affectionately known as cousins for what seems like forever now. We have frown from party animals, having our birthday party at a strip club to changing completely into mommy and wife mode. We have supported each others choices, both good and not so good. Because that is what family does. Being apart of this special day means so much to me as I love both of them dearly, and I will continue to support them every step of the way. Besides, none of this wouldn't have happened if I didn't get married in Hawaii. (wink wink)

I've known Tom since i've been 8 years old; we have been friends for 25 years. I'm very excited for Tom and Anna to start this life journey together. Tom is a great person with a big heart and I know Anna has a personality and heart to match his. Tom and I have kids that are a few months apart and it will be great to see them grow up together. Congrats Tom and I will be here to help in anyway I can.

I have known Analise her whole life. We have defended, helped, & confided in one another without giving it a second thought. We're sisters, friends & roommates. We have grown up side by side as children and adults. I've followed her during different chapters of her life and admired her for her strength love and loyalty. I have prided myself being blessed to call her my sister. She has been a constant in my life & I am thankful because I know she is someone I can always go to. She's always been a hopeless romantic & now her big day that she deserves is finally approaching. I cannot wait to see her in that beautiful dress taking her first steps down the path towards her new chapter. I am honored to be apart of Analise's wedding day & to stand beside her. Seeing her happy fills me with joy!

Although, it's only been a few years that me and Tommy have known each other, we have become very close over that time. I'm very honored that he chose me to be his daughter's god-father and now one of his groomsmen. If me and my wife every get divorced, I get Tommy in the settlement......

I was finally able to meet my beautiful sister, Annalise in May of 2018. At twenty years old I finally met her and I must say we clicked right off the the bat, I was so nervous but EXCITED1 She is such a wonderful mother as well, and I look up to her for that. I'm extremely grateful to be apart of her wedding, it is a huge honor!

Annalise is my little sister! So naturally I'm excited about this new chapter in her life. When she asked me to be her Matron of Honor I knew I had a huge responsibility for that role, but it means even more as her big sister. I can't wait for what lies ahead and as always be by her side to support her through all of it!

I've known Tommy since I've been 15 years old. Tommy is a friend that would give a shirt off his back. A friend that would never judge and a friend that would ride with you till the very end. Tommy is one of a kind and I am absolutely honored to be apart of this wedding. Congrats Tommy - Love you bro!

I met Tommy 10 yrs ago at work. We instantly clicked & became friends. From that moment on we've partied together, worked together & just sat around & did nothing together. He's been my dance partner ever since. He's one of the only people that I can be completely myself & comfortable with all the time and for that he is one of my best friends. In my heart Tommy was already family but this union of holy matrimony officially makes him my bother. I am beyond happy to be apart of this special day. And to have front row seats to see what the future holds!

From the nature of our first meeting, Tom & I did not expect to become friends. We are both die hard sports fans but he is Duke fan compared to my Tar Heels, He is a 49ers fan compared to my Raiders, He is a Braves fan VS my Giants ... should I continue? Yet an appreciation for sport and shared love for spontaneous entertainment has taken us to college & pro baseball, basketball, & football games across the country. Tom is a phenomenal individual, who not only serves the community but is extremely loyal to his friends & family. Ana brings out the best in Tom & I am grateful to be apart of their day! Love you guys!

Although I have known Tommy for 6 years, it feels I have known him for a lifetime with the hundreds of stories and memories we have together. I met Tommy through his father after hanging out with Tommy Sr. at a local bar. Even though I knew Tommy Sr. first Tommy always makes it clear that I am his friend and not his fathers. Not only do we hang out but our families hang out as well. My family goes to dinner with his family, we are always invited to family events and it makes me feel like family. Every time we are together there is never a dull moment. With how popular Tommy is and how many friends he has, I felt surprised but honored to be asked to be apart of this wedding party. I couldn't be more excited for Tommy and Ana - even if I don't see him as much as I used to.

Tom has been one of my best friends for 20+ years. We grew up together playing basketball in the streets of Oakley and eventually all the way through our high school years at Freedom. We worked together slanging vacuums at Sears and he was my first roommate. Tom is loyal to his fist friends and will be there for you when needed. I have hung out with Anna and her parents several times now and they are a great family. very happy for both Anna and Tom!
