Parents of the Bride
We are so appreciative to our many hosts and padrinos. Thank you, Hank and Brenda for your time, investment and planning to put together a special day for us! Thank you also for being a beautiful example of love, selflessness, friendship and faithfulness throughout your 28 years of marriage.
Parents of the Groom
Thank you, Martha for your help and support and for hosting our wedding reception! Thank you for your wonderful example of service. A piece of our hearts will be with Bradley's late dad, Hector as we acknowledge him with a memorial table at the church. We invite you to remember him alongside us on our wedding day. Martha and Hector were married for 28 years and also have given us a wonderful example of marriage.
Los Padrinos de Honor
We have asked Bradley's Tio Joel and Tia Amelia to act as the guests of honor at our wedding, serving as mentors to guide us alongside our parents in our marriage. Joel has volunteered countless hours helping us to build our home together; he's faithfully overseen all of the details in our construction process. We recognize that in Joel's time and attention, Amelia has also sacrificed so much to help us start our lives together. For this reason, we are honored to lift them up with gratitude on our wedding day.
Los Padrinos de Biblia y Rosario
We are blessed to also have the example of Bradley's Tio Santos and Tia Sara in the foundation of our relationship. We have asked Santos and Sara to gift us our first Bible and rosary as a couple which will be used during our wedding Mass and often as we rely on God throughout our marriage. Thank you also to Santos for his time and many talents in building our home together and to Sara for her patience with the late nights and somewhat dangerous endeavors. We appreciate you both so much!
Los Padrinos de Arras
We have asked Kayla's Uncle Shawn and Aunt Amanda to serve as Los Padrinos de Arras or sponsors of the wedding coins. During the mass, the couple will exchange coins as a representation of their support and trust of one another. It was important to us that Shawn and Amanda are apart of our wedding ceremony because of their strengths in spiritual guidance, spending hours speaking light and life and pouring love into us. Their cute sons, Payce and Easton will be greeting guests as ushers before the ceremony. Thank you, Payce and Easton for being a part of our wedding day!
Los Padrinos de Anillos
We have asked the family of Jon and Martha Sanchez, Bradley's sister and brother-in-law to be involved in the exchanging of rings during our mass. Their cute sons, Jonatan (Jr.) and Dominic have been asked to be our ring bearers. Thank you for being a part of our ceremony!
Matron of Honor
Kayla's only sister, Kensi has been asked to stand by Kayla's side as her Matron of Honor. Though Kensi is five years younger, she is a leader and an example in many ways. This upcoming November, Kensi will celebrate two years of marriage to Jadon Whitworth.
Bridesmaid
Kayla and her best friend, Chan met almost five years ago while working at Java Espress where they bonded over $7.50 hourly pay and pure trauma. Not only is she the most faithful of friends, she has always supported our relationship. It's important to us that the people that have loved us as we have nurtured our love together are beside us on our wedding day. Thanks for being our best friend, Chan!
Bridesmaid
It's an honor to invite Bradley's sister, Lesley to be apart of our wedding day as a bridesmaid. I feel lucky to have two really great sister-in-laws to share Christmas shopping trips and deep conversations with forever. Thanks for being by our side! We love you so much!
Bridesmaid
Martha is Bradley's sister, married to Jonatan Sanchez and also the mom of our favorite (and only) nephews, Jr. and Dominic. Before the proposal, Martha helped Bradley by taking Kayla to get her nails done. But ever truthful, she dropped a lot of unintended hints in the process. It's only fitting that she stands by our sides now and helps us to exchange those rings alongside her husband Jon during our ceremony!
Bridesmaid
Bradley's cousin, Tere has also been asked to be a bridesmaid. Tere has lived with us for the school year for two years and is our side kick for movies at Blackfoot Movie Mill, occasional Zumba on Thursday nights and is always cooking up something yummy in the kitchen. We love you, Tere!
Bridesmaid
Kayla and Em became friends a little over four years ago around the same time Bradley and Kayla first started dating each other. Even though Em is living her best life in Boise now, she has supported us through it all. She's also the life of the party and always brings the fun! We love you, Em.
Best Man
Hector is Bradley's older brother and closest friend in many ways. He's the hardest worker you might ever meet! Thank you, Hector for everything you've done to help us prepare for our wedding day.
Groomsman
Luie and Bradley have been best friends since grade school and grew up playing soccer and sharing in a love of literally anything that has to do with sports. Bradley has a lot of love for Luie and we wouldn't want to do this day without him. Thank you so much for being a big part of our wedding day, Luie!
Groomsman
Aka "Tone-Loc"! Bradley has known Tony since high school and has been best friends with him ever since, sharing in a love of football and everything else that goes with it - especially beer and occasionally piss warm Jack... like gentleman! Thanks for being a part of this!
Groomsman
"Chuyito" and Bradley have been friends since playing "Black Snakes" soccer together as kids. It's always a good time, especially the many late nights kicking Chuyito's butt in Conquian (Rummy). Jesus lives in Boise now, but we still count him as close as family. He's also a real one for helping Kayla rent a car at the Boise airport while she was stranded :) Thanks for being here for us on our wedding day, Chuyito!
Groomsman
Luis or "Guicho" or you might even hear Bradley call him "Mija" but you didn't hear it from me... Luis and Bradley have been close friends since playing soccer together as kids and even though Luis lives in Boise, they always keep in touch. Thank you for playing a big part in our day!
Groomsman
Manny has been one of Bradley's best friends since high school and has been with him through it all - the good and the hard times. With Manny it's always a good time, especially when he hosted an El Fantasma (The G.O.A.T.) live stream concert at his house. Definitely a top-tier Compa!
Jr. & Dominic Sanchez
Thank you to our sweet nephews for being apart of our wedding day. We love you both!
Blakelee Heinson
Thank you to Kayla's cousin, Blakelee for being our flower girl and for having the BIG job of taking good care of the bouquet.
