Hannah & Brandon
Who's That?
Ali Edwards
Maid of Honor
Ali and I have been best friends since THIRD GRADE! We share a love of hometown gossip, Britney Spears, bad puns, and brunch. If we're together, there's a good chance we're finding live music or good queso (or both). Ali has been by my side for most major life events -- she was my senior prom date, was there when my son was born, and survived several entire terrible television series from premiere to finale. A compulsive organizer and expert planner, Ali always has everything covered. When I broke the news to my other two 'maids that they weren't the important one, literally both said "Oh thank God." I can't wait to add another memory to our decades long collection!
Kolton Hill
Best Man
He’s been by my side since 4th grade. We could talk for hours over our dumbest stories, our love for football, or what we would do with all our money when we’re old and rich. Kolton and I have gone through many losses and wins, he’s dragged me out of the hardest times in my life. And I couldn’t be more excited or honored to have him by my side on this day.
Rachael Green
Bridesmaid
Rachael & I became best friends due to the strongest force behind all successful relationships: mutual hatred. We were roped into the same profoundly obnoxious friend group with no real escape plan. I found out that she lived directly below me, that we could avoid awkward lunches together, and a prosperous friendship was born. Rachael is my constant partner in crime and a solid fixture in Jack's life. I know if I need an enabler to buy things I don't need at Target, want to angrily glare at housing developments I'll never afford to live in (probably because I spend all my money at Target), or want shameful Mexican food, her shoes are already on. I can ALWAYS count on Rachael to be there for us any time of day or night and her love for Brandon, Jack, and I is completely boundless.
Matt Lay
Groomsman
I’ve seen my brother persevere through the toughest of circumstances and still manage to be breathing. His strong will has been my Guidance from everything that life has thrown at me. And with all that stubborn hard headed ness I wouldn’t want anyone else along side me saying “Quit crying”
Chloe Palacios
Bridesmaid
My friendship with Chloe was forged under pretty similar circumstances as Rachael -- we found companionship in the high stress of the non-profit we both worked for. Chloe's bizarre sense of humor, giant heart, and judgemental side-eye won me over quickly, but her constant support throughout my pregnancy and sometimes aggressive insistence to help makes her one of the strongest assets in my life. Her family has adopted Jack into theirs and welcomes us with open arms. No one has the drive to give and serve like the Palacios family. My big day would be sad and incomplete without Chloe's inappropriate jokes, outdated Vine references, and non-stop bickering with our officiant, Stephen.
Kenny Luna
Groomsman
Although I haven’t known Kenny as long as my brothers this man is still a very close runner up to being considered family to me. We started laughing together since the moment we met and we really haven’t stopped. By far the funniest, friendliest, most supportive outstanding person you could meet. And he’s definitely a personality that this grooms party deserves “LADIES AND GENTLEMEN welcome to the stage... KENNETH LUNA”
Stephen Perkins
Officiant
Stephen is a licensed officiant in the states of Texas and Oklahoma, an entrepreneur, a social media personality, a self-proclaimed "hair icon", and a giant pain in my a--. Stephen is the origin of the unexplainable bee references and has, weirdly, remained a fixture in my life since he marched blindly into it about five years ago. He's a constant friend, a reliable voice of reason, and lives his life with the kind of conviction and passion that we should all strive for. An endless well of poorly-executed dad jokes, meaningless advice, and unnecessarily eloquent vocabulary, there isn't another person I'd trust to effectively deliver marriage vows. He loves both my B and Jack and lives his life for Christ. I can't wait to roll my eyes at the altar with Stephen behind it.
