Wedding Party
Azalia Mendizabal Ruiz
Bride
Sandra Reinwald
Maid of Honor
Azalia: “I met Sunny for the first time at a street festival in 2010. Since that day - we have been inseparable. Everyone always comments on how different we are and believe me - we know - but that’s exactly why we balance each other out so well. I am so blessed to have you as my best friend. Thank you for being you, mein Schloß!” Fun fact: Sandra has the most beautiful daughter named Mia, who I’m honored to call my Goddaughter.
Sophia Stoecklein
Bridesmaid
Azalia: “I met Sophia in third grade. Even though we lost contact for a few years, the moment we reunited - it was as if we were never apart. Sophia is one of the most beautiful girls I know - inside and out - have you seen her picture? What makes her an even more beautiful woman is her humbleness. I’m truly privileged to have you in my life!” Fun fact: I have known her boyfriend longer than she has.
Selina Jefkaj
Bridesmaid
Azalia: “I met Selina in 2003 when I switched middle schools. She has always been in my corner cheering me on and celebrating my successes - that’s why I have always considered Selly to be my “hype woman.” I don’t know what I would do if I didn’t have her cheering me on on my wedding day. Thank you for always supporting me and never showing an ounce of envy. You’re a true friend!” Fun fact: I had my first international girls trip with her when we went to the beautiful Spanish island of Mallorca.
Sandra Kiessling
Bridesmaid
Azalia: “I first met Sandra in 2008 during a camping trip. We actually didn’t like each other in the beginning, but what I love about her most is the fact that she is super spontaneous - something that I struggle with. She is one of the most down-to-earth person I know and I can’t wait to see what life brings you.” Fun fact: We were dating brothers at the same time.
Lisset Marquez-Velazquez
Bridesmaid
Azalia: “Lissi is my oldest friend. We met through our mothers in 1996. Wow! We were only 4 years old and we’ve been friends ever since. She’s been by my side through my first break-up and I couldn’t imagine not having her stand by my side while I’m marrying the love of my life. Thank you for always sticking by me!” Fun fact: We were both born in Cuba!
Breckelle Gonzalez
Bridesmaid
Azalia: “I met Breckelle in 2018, while we were both hosting at Olive Garden. She is a wild child with a free spirit and that’s what I value the most in her. There is never a dull moment with Breckelle in your life and there was no chance in hell that I wouldn’t want her to be one of my bridesmaids. She’s the life of the party!” Fun fact: Breckelle and Zach are both Geminis and her husband Gio and I are both Libras, so we give each other relationship advice.
Zachary Harris Johnson
Groom
Josh Kettering
Best Man
Zachary: “We’ve been friends since middle school and he’s one of my oldest friends. We have very similar taste in significant others, so when he said Azalia was a keeper - I knew it was meant to be.” Fun fact: Josh has a thriving streaming career. Follow him at twitch.tv/sinfulhooks
Devin Moore
Groomsman
Zachary: “Devin and I met in college and became close friends. So close in fact that he lived in my dorm room when he wasn’t supposed to be in the building. He is the only friend to have been able to travel with me and Azalia, so far, which created unforgettable memories. Never go Naked.” Fun Fact: Devin never traveled overseas before Germany. He learned very quickly about jet lag.
Jack Lowry
Groomsman
Zachary: “Jack was my very first friend when I moved to Kansas. Having him as a friend has been one of the best experiences of my life. Find us at the lake if he is not at a Kansas City Chiefs game.” Fun Fact: Jack is the person to find if you want to have a good time. Watch out for the Lowry pour.
Josiah Knight
Groomsman
Zachary: “I still have no idea when Josiah and I became friends. It happened and we never looked back. If you follow the trail of American flag apparel, you’ll find him with open arms and a good time.” Fun Fact: Josiah and my sister were good friends before I even knew him.
Spencer Buff
Groomsman
Zachary: “We first met in college and became good friends after playing many recreational sports together. Besides our shared interests in sports and anime, Buff is the luckiest person in the world. I’m stunned he has not bought a lottery ticket yet.” Fun Fact: I’ve known Buff for almost 6 years and I’ve never seen him eat a vegetable or fruit.
Austin Ruel
Groomsman
Zachary: “Austin is the main person in our friend group that is always available to play soccer. Our best memories come from playing the sport that we both love.” Fun Fact: I disliked him at first, because his soccer team beat mine.
Mia Siedler

Azalia’s Goddaughter
