Chris & Monika
Wedding Party
Jason Chappell
Best Man
Chris meet Jason shortly after moving to San Diego and they have been partners in crime ever since. Jason and Chris have shared countless rounds of golf, and more hours on a blackjack table together than they care to admit. It's fitting that Chris had his chance meeting with one of Jason's coworkers at his 40th birthday party in Denver, and for that Chris is forever grateful.

Jeremy Richa

After running into each other almost every Saturday at Bubs, and most days at the gym, Chris and Jeremy naturally became friends. Their friendship strengthened over the years living at the beach and continues to grow to this day. Jeremy is one of the nicest guys and would do anything for his friends, which is something Chris admires greatly about him. Jeremy marrying one of Chris's good friends only helped solidified their friendship for life.

Sarah’s generosity and care makes each of her friends feel deeply loved. Reconnecting with Sarah reminds Monika just how serendipitous life can be.
Chris D'Ambrosia

Emily Connors
Bridesmaid
Emily was one of the first people that Monika met at USC and also lived on the infamous Pardee Floor 2. Through nights at the 90 and football games, row parties and porch days at the Peach, Emily could always be counted on for her pranks, jokes, and kindheartedness.
