Wedding Party
Adriana Muhawieh
Maid of Honor
My Tae bo sister and Disneyland buddy! You continue to inspire me to be a better person every day. You are so strong, confident, inspiring and beautiful. We have had so many great memories together from elementary school until now between training together for Tae Bo and stair climbing, our amazing Disneyland trips (not to mention the corn dogs) and dinners on Buringame Ave. You are a friend that has become family and I am so lucky to have you by my side planning my wedding.
Cody Copeland
Best Man
The little brother... My best friend. Cody is a one-of-a-kind. Growing up together was definitely a love/hate relationship. From kicking the crap out of each other, to co-opting a mission on how to get out of doing our daily chores. He's the only person I can have a full conversation with by only using movie quotes. Some people find it creepy, but they're just jealous. I've not only had the privilege of calling him my brother, but my brother in Blue. And when I stand up there ready to begin the next chapter, I couldn't think of anyone else I'd want standing at my side.
Brittany Gleeson
Bridesmaid
Words can't describe how happy I am to officially call you my sister! I am looking forward to so many more shopping sprees, bar hopping, and days of ganging up on my brother. I had the pleasure of watching you marry my brother and I got take notes while you planned your wedding - now I am so excited to have you by my side as I plan mine. You are funny, loving, an AMAZING party planner and just a great friend to have.
Ronnie Gleeson
Groomsman
My future Brother-in-Law. Ronnie is not only one of the nicest and most uplifting guys you'll ever meet, but he is one of the most likeable. I've only known him for a few years, but I feel like we've been lifetime buds. I've gone from some random guy who thought his sister was cute, to a friend and brother. Ronnie is truly a good person, and I know I can trust him. But yes, he will still kick my butt if I ever make Brenna upset.
Sirika Smith
Bridesmaid
Shakira and I met about 5 years ago and we have had nothing but good laughs and shenanigans ever since. She is strong, smart, funny, ditsy and a little clumsy but I am so grateful to call her my friend. From concerts to bar hopping and line dancing to hilarious birthday gifts we always know how to have a great time together. We not only look like sisters, I consider you to be my sister! SHOT SHOT SHOT SHOT SHOT SHOT TEQUILA!
Derek Kamka
Groomsman
My buddy Derek. In high school, my brother, Derek and I were inseparable. Whether we were blasting the Irish Front in my '98 Explorer, or ripping shots on cage after school. Derek really became my other younger brother. We did everything together, including going to local shows. Not many people can say they have a friend who would follow them into the moshpit at a metal concert. But I can say that about Derek. Derek lives on the other side of the country now, but he'll always be my other younger brother.
Julia Lucas
Bridesmaid
Julia (AKA TC) and I have been best friends since we did the Hula at Mills Montessori and continue to create new memories despite the distance between SF and Reno. I have had the pleasure of growing up with you and am so proud to call you my friend. You are beautiful, funny and one of the kindest and selfless people i know. Whether we are blowing eggs in your living room or having a drink in Tahoe you always know to keep me laughing. I had the pleasure of being a bridesmaid in your wedding and now I am so grateful that you will be by my side for mine.
Preston Peel
Groomsman
Preston is an old soul. I think that's why we get along so well. He's a guy who you can have a good, meaningful conversation with. But at the same time, he's also a guy who can throw his shit-kickers on and raise hell at a country bar. Preston also has a twisted sense of humor (a lot like mine). We often find ourselves laughing at something when no one else around us understands. Preston is not only a genuine guy, but he's someone I trust with my life. I wouldn't get married without him up there with me.
Teresa Willkom
Bridesmaid
Teresa is one of the strongest women that I know. She has been such a huge influence in my life and has definitely played a role in shaping me into the women that I am today. I met Teresa while I was a key holder at Charlotte Russe which is where she became my "Mama Bear" but I think we really bonded over dance dance revolution at her fondue fond-don't parties. She is someone that I can always have a good laugh with but can always count on great advice when I need it.
Joey Villeda
Groomsman
Booger. My Uncle Joey has been a consistent positive role model in my life. He's known me since my long hair and skinny jean days (and he doesn't let me forget it). Over the years, Joey has taught me a lot about being a man. He's taught me how to be confident and how to be honorable. But most importantly, he's taught me how to hate the Dodgers. Not many people can say they have an uncle like Joey, but I can. Now let's pop a few Torpedos and do this thing.
Isabella Restani
Bridesmaid
My soon-to-be sister. I have always wanted a sister and now I have two! You are so much fun, loving, smart, athletic and a beautiful young women and I look forward to continuing watching you grow. I love our shopping dates and ganging up on Zach together. I am so excited to be able to officially call you my little sister soon!
Justin Oertel
Groomsman
Justin, Justin, Justin. What a guy. Whether it's at a Sharks home game, or out at the bar. I can always count on Justin to have my back. He's always been there, through thick and thin. I've bowled countless games and shared even more bottles of Jack and Johnny with him. Justin is the epitome of a true friend. Just don't drive to Yosemite with him at night... you might get lost and end up in a sketchy hotel with your fiancé at 2 AM.
