April Hoang

Bridesmaid

I met April at Hebron high school and our friendship only grew through college, where we were inseparable roommates at UTD. I remember telling her about this cute guy I met in class, Leo, and she was excited with me as our relationship grew. I think she knew first that Leo would be the one for me. Despite the miles between us now, April and I still excitedly update each other on our lives and encourage our new adventures.

Bridesmaid

I met Aliesa at El Centro, Dallas College, ultrasound school about three years ago. Though it had been a short time, she and I had an instant connection and quickly became close friends. We confided in each other when it got challenging, and celebrated together when we succeeded. She is a true friend who always has my back. Though we don't see each other everyday anymore since graduation, Aliesa and I still go out to make new memories as much as we can.

Shannon Thomson

Bridesmaid

Shannon is my longest friend, as we have been best friends since second grade at Mary Immaculate School. We even joined karate and became black belts together. I remember how sad I was when I found out we would be going to separate high schools, but I was ecstatic to finally have her back as my roommate in college at UTD. Though our distance now keeps us physically apart, Shannon and I will always be close and share memories, old and new.

Fernando Canales

Meet Fernando: A true embodiment of friendship at its finest. From the first day we crossed paths, his innate ability to be an incredible friend has shone brilliantly. It's more than just his presence; it's the genuine warmth and unwavering loyalty he brings to every interaction that sets him apart. His greatness isn't just in the grand gestures, but in the small acts of kindness that show he truly cares. Fernando's knack for turning an ordinary moment into something special is a testament to his character and the depth of our friendship. So, here's to Fernando: a friend who not only knows how to be great but also makes everyone around him feel that much greater. In the tapestry of our lives, he's a thread woven with care, laughter, and boundless positivity.

Murphey Cohn

I've also known Murphey since Mary Immaculate School over 20 years ago now. I love how she shared my wild elementary school imagination. Though we went to different colleges, we always kept in touch. Murphey has been my best cheerleader, always smiling and bringing joy wherever she goes. She is a dear friend who dances through life with joy and determination, leaving behind a trail of wonderful pink-tinted memories.

Meet Hart: A friend whose luscious hair and beard set the standard for envy. As I guide you in disc golf, my hope is that your skills soar even higher. Your persistent efforts, even in the face of defeat, reflect your admirable determination. Here's to Hart: a cherished friend whose journey of growth and friendship is a true inspiration.

Anahí Calvo

Bridesmaid

My youngest bridesmaid, Anahí is one of Leo's wonderful cousins. She may not remember, but I met her when she was 6, before her brother was born. Though she's an old lady now, Anahí still loves to eat play-doh and chase bugs. In seriousness, Anahí has made me feel like I am already a part of Leo's family. I'm so excited to see the outstanding person she becomes, and I'm proud to share her last name.
