Emmalee Benzel
Maid of Honor
We met one fateful day in July when I was five, I am a little fuzzy on the details, but I do remember talking to her throughs mom's belly. Since then she has grown into an artist of all trades, a master of sarcasm and wonderful sister.
Ronel Ramirez
Best Man
We met in North Carolina when he showed up to my unit. Shortly after, I found out he was going to be my new roommate. From there on I taught him about our job, and became friends. Once he got married and got a house, it wasn't too long until I moved in. Our time together was mostly long days at work, but we had fun.
Ada Reyes
Bridesmaid
We met our freshman year of college when I realized we had several classes together and made her start sitting with me and studying with me. Once she realized I had a car and could take her to get food our friendship was sealed.
Brandon Rocha
Groomsman
One of the biggest Christ followers I know. We met Sophomore year in High School in the cafeteria. His sock game is on point. The man can sing, play different instruments, and is married to his high school sweetheart.
Isabelle Benzel
Bridesmaid
We met one cold December morning in a blizzard. She stole Dad's birthday and our hearts. Since then she has grown into a crafter, a movie quote extrordinair, and meme hoarder, all with the same soft heart.
Jesus Adame
Groomsman
We met in freshman year, in Geography class, as I was wearing this hideous orange-yellow shirt. From there, we became good friends. Our time mostly consisted of playing football Friday afternoons and Saturday mornings.
Lily Coleman
Bridesmaid
We met on a sunny day in the park. She was wearing a Big flower headband and some of the coolest sunglasses ever, we went from strangers to best friends within three meetings. She got me hooked on coffee, and neither of us have looked back since.
Jason Santamaria
Groomsman
We met through our group of friends in high school. He got me my first job at Whataburger, and eventually became my boss for a bit. Sometimes we go on drives and just talk about life. Hardcore Dallas Cowboys fan, and loves wrestling as well.
Shaynie Chaloupek
Bridesmaid
We met one Thursday night during the summer at a church service. Five years later we still hang out on Thursday nights, laughing, crying, eating, playing games, and loving Jesus.
Juan Castillo
Groomsman
