Kayleen & Joel
Wedding Party
Alexie
Maid of Honor
Alexie is the bride's best friend! They have known each other since Jackson elementary and became close friends in high school leading them to become inseparable the day they broke the key to the ignition of the softball van! Lexi has a 4 year old daughter named Lia (our flower girl) and they are avid Disney fans. Lexi attends Fresno State University where she is studying criminology. She is the most motivated person Kayleen knows and can do anything she puts her mind to, it’s honestly amazing how she does it all. Kayleen can’t imagine her big day without her!
Destiny
Bridesmaid
Destiny and Kayleen have become close friends over the past few years. She is the bride's brother's girlfriend. Destiny loves the outdoors and hitting the weights. We enjoy her company whether its taking trips to the zoo, wine tasting in Murphy's or boot clapping in downtown Fresno. We are so happy to have her apart of our special day!
Carmela
Bridesmaid
Carmela is the wife to Blane (Best man), she is a special person in our lives who lives in the beautiful state of Washington. She is always caring and looking out for others. Carmela makes the best food, and even taught Kayleen how to make Pancit. She is full of life and always wants the best for everyone , we are so grateful to have her with us on our special day !
Blane
Best Man
Joel has known Blane for over 15 years, he is the brother Joel never had. Joel has many fond memories growing up with Blane in California. In 2016 when an opportunity for Joel to relocate to Washington presented itself, it just so happened Blane had also relocated to Washington for his work, therefore allowing them to reconnect and become roommates ultimately saving Joel from an unpleasant living situation in Olympia. Blane is a cherished friend and family member to Joel and Kayleen. We love when his wife Carmela (Kayleen’s bridesmaid ) and junior (the ring bearer) can all get together and do day trips whether it’s in California or Washington. Thank you for traveling out of state to be apart of our special day.
Zach
Groomsman
Zach is Kayleen’s younger, bigger, brother. He is a good friend to Joel and will be a great future , one and only, brother in law! Since Joel and Kayleen travel a lot for work, Zach has been a tremendous help to the bride and groom when it comes to taking care of their 3 dogs Lacey, Jakers, and Maxine and not to mention their two cats Toby and purdy girl. Thank you Zach for all you do! Zach has such a caring nature about him ,so of course the perfect career for him would to be a nurse, he will be graduating the RN program in 2022! Zach has a history of doing the worm at weddings, please get your phones out, we may just be able to get him on video !
Johnny
Groomsman
Johnny is Joel’s younger, but taller cousin. Joel spent many days baby sitting Johnny and watching him grow up. He is in high school and wants to be a highway patrol officer one day, so guys better slow down or make friends with him.
Janet
Flower Girl
Janet is Joel's 5 year old cousin and starts her first year of school this year ! She loves gummy bears and make up. This is her second time being a flower girl. We are so happy to have her as our sweet flower girl !
Lia

Lia is Kayleen’s maid of honor's daughter. She is the funniest bravest 4 year old. She loves swimming and playing with the groom and bride's cat Toby. This is Lia’s first time being a flower girl and we are so honored!
Blane Junior
Ring Bearer
Blane junior is the son of Carmela and Blane (who are also in the bridal party). He is 3 1/2 years old. Kayleen loves when he says “aunty where are you?” And he’s always asking where uncle Joel is. Blane loves Spider-Man and staying up to date with all of his educational tv shows. He is the smartest, wildest, sweetest little boy you will meet.
