Annessa & Sterling
Wedding Party
Lani Martinez-Fear
Maid of Honor
Lani is Annessa's little (yet taller) sister. These two have been stuck together since day one in the hospital room. They are completely different and you would never guess they are sisters but when they are together they get each other (most of the time). Lani has always been talented in music, while Annessa has been talented in sports. Maybe one day lani will teach her the difference between seprano and alto.
Matthew Zett
Best Man
Matt and Sterling lived together back in their wilder bachelor days. They both bonded over a love of the outdoors. If there was an adventure to be had they were up for it. They spent most all of their free time crappie fishing, deer hunting, trout fishing, or just being lost out in the middle of nowhere. Their wild bachelor days came to an end when Matt married his wonderful wife Erin in 2014 and they now have a beautiful baby girl together.
Carlee Ethredge
Bridesmaid
Carlee and Annessa have been best friends since high school. They attended many high school football games and went on to college together. They had so many countless hours/nights just driving around town in their high school days being obnoxious with crazy accents and buying a dozen Texas Roadhouse rolls to eat by themselves (yes they ate every single last roll!). Annessa was a bridesmaid when Carlee got married so it is so exciting she gets to be a bridesmaid for Annessa now! Carlee lives with her husband Dustin and their two fur babies.
Zachary Zett
Groomsman
Zak and Sterling's friendship back when Sterling was Zak's intern at Mustang Technology group. That summer Sterling designed and installed a gantry system with a colorful cast of characters. Also they became great friends as they learned they had similar interests and backgrounds--growing up in small town TX. Zak lives in Palmer, TX with is amazing wife Brittany and their strapping boy Easton.
Alyssa Burciago
Bridesmaid
Alyssa and Annessa met in college and became close/best friends when they both moved to Denver after graduating. They are also currently roommates until the wedding! They have spent countless nights hot tubbing after a long day at work, out on the town dancing, and bonding over a glass of wine. If there are any two people/friends alike...it's Annessa and Alyssa!
Tyler Barry
Groomsman
Tyler was Sterling's great friend and former college roommate. Tyler and Sterling had most every engineering class together from their Sophmore year thru their Senior year (and victory lap semester!). They had many late nights studying (and partying), attended lots of great Aggie football games, and almost sunk a boat to the bottom of lake Somerville. Tyler is a mechanical engineer and expert of all things Houston,TX related
Nicole Lane
Bridesmaid
Nicole and Annessa also met in college and moved to Denver after graduating around the same time. Annessa knows she will always have a shopping bestie with Nicole. They have spent countless nights spending way too much money on things they didn't need and trying out the newest hot restaurants in Denver! Nicole lives with her fur baby, Winnie.
Paul Granberg
Groomsman
Paul is Sterling's cousin and the author of many great memories. From making "sleigh tire tracks" in the backyard of Grandmas house where "Santa stopped to piss" on Christmas eve to having Sterling come stay for a week during the summer to help Paul cowboy at the Domino ranch they have shared many great times and laughs. Paul and his wife Breanne live in Lytle, TX with their lovely daughter Syndey.
Rhendon Pawelek

Trey McLamb
Usher
Trey and Sterling met one very dark night in 2012 at Tagab, Afghanistan. Lost and confused with no night vision, Sterling stumbled around until Trey guided him to the TOC and set him up with a room. They became fast friends over SEC football and have continued their friendship over their years. Trey is a bronze star recipient and lives with his beautiful family in South Carolina.
Derek Reese
