Tyler & Susie
Wedding Party
Samantha Dickens
Maid of Honor
Susie and Sam met in middle school and have been best friends ever since. She is her partner in crime, her confidant, and basically her other half. Whenever they are together, you can guarantee it is going to be a fun adventure. Since 12 years old, Susie could not imagine life without her.
Chief Siah Beckwith
Best Man
Chief is the eldest of Tyler's younger brothers and so we don't have to go into how they met. Being 8 years apart have not kept them from being close and Tyler is excited to have Chief stand beside him on the big day.
Alessandra Pardo
Maid of Honor
Susie also met Alessandra in middle school and right away had such a strong and deep connection. They tell each other they are each other's soul mates and it is definitely true. Susie wouldn't be the person she is today without Alessandra in her life, she is her person and her sister.
Jonathon Cruz
Groomsman
Tyler and "Cruz" became friends after meeting during high school baseball. Jon may have been a grade older but he and Tyler were nothing short of inseparable. Tyler was the leading expert in giving Jon bad girl advice and Jon returned the favor by not stopping Tyler from taking his own bad advice. Luckily, that didn't get in the way this time. They don't take as many spontaneous beach trips and spend as much time playing video games but the right hand man title still applies.
Debbie Jimenez
Bridesmaid
Debbie came into Susie's life in kindergarten. She was her first friend as far as Susie can remember and her best friend for all these years. Susie truly believes they were destined to be best friends for their whole life. Debbie has always remained a constant in her life and she is so thankful to have her by her side forever.
Jano K
Groomsman
Where was Jano in high school? I have no idea. What Tyler and Jano missed in years knowing each other, they make up in tequila shots together. You'd have a hard time finding a story of Tyler nowadays that doesn't also include Jano and that's not by accident. They could talk football for hours, drink Jano's famous margaritas all day, and ruin their workouts by deciding on late night hot wings every weekend. They could, they do and they will continue to if Tyler has any say in it.
Duriye Castañeda
Bridesmaid
Duriye was Susie's friend in middle school but quickly turned into family for her. They grew up together and were always there for each other in happy and difficult situations. Duriye has always cared and supported Susie throughout life.
Alberto Mariscal
Groomsman
Alberto returns the Groomsman favor and the bride and groom are happy to have him. Berto and Tyler met during football but their relationship has grown even stronger after high school. Whether it be a trip to Vegas, Korean BBQ dinner, a college football game, or running around their old man flag football league, Tyler knows he can count on Alberto. Also, did he tear up at Susie and Tyler's engagement? Maybe. Was it allergy season? No.
Emily Estrada
Bridesmaid
Not only is Emily Susie's first cousin but she is one of her best friends as well (also, they look a lot alike). Susie can go to her when she needs someone to talk to and she just gets her on so many different levels. Even though they may not see each other all the time, they both know they can always rely on each other and their love for each other remains strong.
Ronnie Marquez
Groomsman
Ronnie is the perfect groomsman, not only because he stands in greatly for official wedding festivities but also if we need to kick anyone out. Ronnie and Tyler have grown into close friends and have perfected the art of watching college football and drinking beer together. A few thousand miles separate them now but that does not affect Tyler's admiration for Ron Dawg.
Arianna Nuñez
Bridesmaid
Nana is Susie's cousin but growing up, she was like her little sister. From watching Madeline and Parent Trap a hundred times to playing dress up, they have so many memories together. Susie loves her so much and can't imagine her wedding day without Arianna in it.
Luigi Pardo
Groomsman
After meeting in freshman high school football, Tyler and Luigi have continued to be "brothas from another motha" throughout (Ask him about the 6% of his DNA test). They share a passion for sports and music, and will not hesitate to try and steal the solo from one another when signing along. Luigi is the friend that ends calls with "love you" and it absolutely goes both ways. He would undoubtedly be crowned Tyler's partner in crime with stories like [redacted] and [redacted].
Alanah Nuñez
Bridesmaid
Alanah is also Susie's baby cousin/little sister. They have had so many good times when they were younger like dressing her up in Susie's doll's clothes or having sleepovers. They were always super close and still now have such a loving relationship.
Austin Sosa
Groomsman
Tyler and "Sosa" met way back in Kindergarten and continue to have a strong bond today. Growing up they had the typical brother relationship. Order Pizza, have fun, laugh, play games, be a poor winner, be a poor loser, fight, repeat. Some might say it isn't exactly that different today. Austin has always been someone Tyler could count on and he continues to show that brotherly love to Susie as well. Tyler knows he is lucky to have Austin stand beside him, then, now, and in the future.
