Wedding Party
Cameron & Gabriel
Ring Bearer
Cameron and Gabriel are our ring bearers. This was a risky decision to make, as Cameron has a habit of putting things in his mouth. If the rings go missing, give it 12 hours. Also we are trusting him to pull his brother in a wagon down the aisle. Get your cameras ready because something unexpected will likely happen.
Ava
Flower Girl
Ava is our flower girl and she takes the job very seriously. She has already requested a certain color of flower petal that she gets to sprinkle about down the aisle, and that she wears high heels. She's our toughest critic so we knew that with this main character energy, this role was exactly right for her.
Cate
Maid of Honor
Cate and Paige met in the Army before going to Basic Training in 2013. Eleven years and countless pickleback shots later, they are inseperable. Cate is Paige's soul sister. The one person who can sense when something is wrong without words, and the one who can always fix it. Cate has been more of a sister to Paige throughout the years, jumping to be at her side without invitation, loving the kids as her own, and being that phone call when life gets too heavy. Cate is an angel on earth and I hope we all are lucky enough to have an ourselves a Cate in our lives.
Julio
Best Man
Julio is Anthony's older (favorite) brother. He looks exactly like Anthony, but he is way funnier. He doesn't know how to cook, but he will be serving up some moves on the dance floor on the big day. Julio is the most involved tio in our children’s lives. He loves to spend time with family, to have fun, and is always positive! Julio has been there for Anthony to protect him since childhood, and as adults he they still have each other’s backs.
Erica
Bridesmaid
Erica is Paige's big sister. She is the most kind-hearted person, and will fly across the country as soon as she hears her family needs her. If you're lucky, you could see the dance she and Paige choreographed in 1997 to Celine Dion's "Because You Loved Me" on the dance floor on the big day.
Omar
Groomsman
Omar is like another brother Anthony never asked for. The Army special-delivered this one of a kind brother, and after a year-long combat tour together, this is a friendship that will never sever. Omar had to be included in the bridal party for the mere fact that he has helped us move houses 3 times. Kidding! Omar is one of a kind, having been the unconditional friendship in Anthony’s life no matter how busy things get, spending time with each other is always a priority. This is a brotherhood in its own special way.
Ella
Bridesmaid
Ella is one of Paige's closest friends, and they will be happy to tell you how they met. You may have to sit down for 30 minutes to listen to them spiral, but well worth the tea. Ella is one of the most kind-hearted women Paige has come to know, and she also gives hugs that feel like home. Ella is the kind of friend that feels what you feel, will take the time out of her day to be there and listen, and will always give more than she takes.
Diego
Groomsman
Diego and Anthony also met in the Army. Do you see a pattern here? The Army may not feed you, but they will bring you life-long friends that endure the "suck" together. Diego is an all-star friend to all, and is that one guy you can count on to check in on you month to month even when he is juggling 100 things at once. He gives more to this world than he takes and anyone who knows him is lucky to.
Rachel
Bridesmaid
Rachel is sunshine in human form and bakes some amazing cookies! Paige and Rachel go back to elementary school together, and endured some of the best moments together, and the worst. Rachel is the kind of friend that will drop her entire day of plans to be at your doorstep if you needed her. She is a top notch, kind soul and to know her is to love her for life.
Melanie
Bridesmaid
Melanie and Paige are more alike than Paige is with Paige. Melanie is selfless in all her relationships-- mother, wife, and friend. She is the type that shows up with something new she bought you just because she thought of you. She and Paige only met in 2021 when Paige was pregnant with Cameron, and ever since they have shared crises together doing the mom thing. Melanie has been a source of unwavering support from day 1 and is the light in Paige’s life when things get cloudy.
Ben
Groomsman
Ben, who is married to bridesmaid Cate, became a close friend to Anthony and Paige throughout the years by Cate. Wherever Cate was, there was Ben. Before you knew it, he became Uncle Ben! He is the kind of friend you want standing by your side on your wedding day because he will be keeping things light and making you laugh. He is always positive and willing, and he would give the shirt off his back to make you happy even if it inconvenienced him.
