Wedding Party

Savanah Kirby

Maid of Honor

I met Savanah at Ohlone College about 6 years ago today. We were in American Sign Language class together for 4 years. We became great friends over the years so good I trusted her and Sydney with my car keys the day before graduating from Ohlone. Later, to find out, they had put packets of confetti in my air vents and filled my back seats with balloons. Then, on the outside of my car, the plastic wrapped “congratulations” streamers to the top of my car. Oh what great times we have had!!

Phillip Godoy

Best Man

Phillip is one of my many cousins I have grown up. He was there with me when I was young lad, the torture of being on the receiving end of many different wrestling moves and submission locks. Over the years of me becoming an adult, Phillip and I have become closer than just cousins, I consider him my brother. I say this because I was the only child and my cousins were my siblings who would come over to Grandma Helen’s house, where I spent the majority of the time. Even though we may not see each other a whole lot, I know if I ever needed anything I know I could call my brotha Phil.

Sydney Hardman

Maid of Honor

Where to start with about my crunch...well we met at Ohlone in American Sign Language class about 6 years ago. However, we became close when we had to film an American Sign Language video about Disney movies. We both were a goofy bunch together and have become friends ever since. We went to parks in the middle of the night and acted like we were 3 years old or Tarzan/Jane.

Andrew Godoy

Best Man

Andrew was the next cousin that was closer to me in age, because of this me and Andrew or as I would call him Lonie. I remember being a little guy who just discovered how to walk and I would follow him anywhere he went. Andrew and I's relationship can be summed up as a crime partnership. As we grew up together we've been through some crazy adventures from playing tag in the street until the early morning hours or playing video games and eating food, come to think of it that was always how the parties ended at my mom and I's house.

Aniek van Ham

Bridesmaid

Aniek has been one of the best older sister a girl could ask for. She has paved my road in more ways then I can ask for (she is the soon to be Aniek Iotov). My favorite memory will always be when we were younger, we would travel to the beach house and I always would get sick from the drive there. She would sit with me, make sure I was looking straight ahead, and had a bag ready just in case I needed it.

Jeffery Godoy

Groomsman

Jeffery, or El Jefe as I call him, is another cousin who was older than me but was always by my side when I was a child. I would always remember that certain days of the week different cousins would come over to grandmas house, and would always say hello to grandma and grandpa than come and see what I was doing. Jeffery was another older cousin that was a role model, although sometimes I think I am older than him or we are the same age at times. As I became older Jeff and I connected and saw the man I grew up to be and became the less slightly annoying little cousin.

Enya van Ham

Bridesmaid

She is the best sister I could ask for. She comes with sass and jokes. I have never met someone that could light up a room when they tell a joke or find something fun to say. My favorite memory of her is when she gets a hold of a selfie stick and dads cell phone on Christmas 2017. We took thousands of selfie pictures without him knowing. Then, the next morning finding out and asking where and how.

Robert Breneman

Groomsman

I met Robert Breneman, Robby as many people call him, my freshman year of college at Mckendree. I was a very nervous person at that time, and Robby welcomed me and helped my move into my apartment. Thanks to him being on the bowling team and from that point on, I knew him and I would be friends forever. Till this day he is still one of my closest friends, he has supported my on my quest for a higher degree; just like I have pushed him to get his Doctorate degree. I think Robby and I will be best friends forever. The amount of adventures that we have been in throughout college are too many to count but I wouldn’t trade them for anything.

Ceci Godoy

Bridesmaid

I haven’t know Ceci to long but I know she and her son Diego welcomed me into her home in Texas when Armando was bowling a tournament in El Paso, Texas. We decided to take a few hours drive to her and that would be the first time I met her. She would always ask if we needed or would like anything. She drove us to see Texas, like the famous bridge that had a park next to it to where JFK was killed. Still to this day she opens her home when we drive from Illinois to California or back to rest if we need it.

Alex Noble

Groomsman

Alex was another teammate on the Mckendree Bowling team and instantly connected because he was Filipino and I was Mexican and apparently they two cultures are similar, or so ive been told. I will never forget the first time Noble met my mother for the first time, and my mom made a ton of tacos for my teammates. This was the start of a great friendship. Along with being teammates, we also attended many different concerts together, from camping in Kansas city, to going hard in the downtown area of St Louis. Noble and I made an agreement in the very beginning of our friendship to be friends no matter what and so far we both have held up both sides of that agreement.

Nini Vargas

Bridesmaid

I haven’t know Nini that long but she is a great mother and cousin. When I was introduced to her, she was so welcoming and wanted to know everything about me. Every other time I have seen her, she is open arms and wants to learn something new. My favorite memory of her is when I first meet her at the Godoy’s family party. Then I saw her a year later, and it did not feel like a year. She remember everything from a year ago and asked how things were going.

Austin Niggli

Groomsman

Captain Niggles, oh how we became acquaintances by accident but friends by choice and destiny. I met Austin through Robby actually, Robby was the president of a fraternity on campus and Austin happen to be pledging the fraternity. Although I wasn’t in the fraternity, I was considered a hangout because I was always hanging out with Robby, who was president. Once Austin and I became friends and found out that we had a similar taste in music, we both liked going to concerts, and shows together than that really made our friendship long lasting.
