Yvette & Clark
Wedding Party
Heather Mendonca
Bridesmaid
Have you ever met a woman who is so confident and outspoken that you look around the room and think, "Is this real? She truly doesn't give a s%*t what people think!" When you combine this with a most giving heart and a viciously protective nature you get HEATHER. She is the friend that has your back no matter what and says ALL the things: loving things and things you don't want to hear out loud because it's too scary. Whether you are ready for her or not, she is ready for it all and will fill up the room with her smile, laughter and fun-loving nature. Thank you Heather, everyone wishes they had a bestie like you!
Rachael Chisenhall
Bridesmaid
Rachael. Within two minutes of meeting her she will have already exchanged info to keep in touch with you, offered you her support in whatever you need and you will have a meet up date scheduled for cocktails where you will talk about life, network and become lifelong friends. No one is immune to this, you will all be part of this process from Friday, September 20th on! Her bubbly, caring and positively infectious personality is something everyone wants to be a part of and I am proud to call her one of my besties!
Kaytie Speziale
Bridesmaid
Katty! Like a sister, we can connect on so many levels! Not only do we share the same birthday, but like a true Aquarius/Pisces, we will always be there for one another. Kaytie is always supportive, kind, and down for a little happy hour any day of the week. We can talk for hours about life, love, our own personal growth and development. She has a way of always showing me perspective and making me laugh. We have gone through so much together in the past ten years and I am so grateful she will be by my side as I say "I do." Kaytie is the real deal and I love her to pieces!
Alisha Rider
Bridesmaid
Grateful and blessed don't even begin to describe how lucky I feel to have Alisha in my corner for over 27 years! We all know someone whose laugh is so great that it doesn't matter what is being said-you just want to hear that laugh of pure joy! That's Alisha! We know each other like sisters do. We don't have to see each other or talk every week to know we are there. When we were in middle school and high school, towns separated us. Later in life, central California separated us. It doesn't matter. We have seen each other through the good, bad and ugly! I can't imagine going through this life without her! When family, parents, relationships, jobs, and many uncertainties came and went, Alisha is the rock that remains. My best childhood memories of music and growing up are wrapped up in her!
Melissa Poole
Bridesmaid
Some older sisters take on the "mom" type role and boss everyone around. Not this sister. Melissa was always cracking jokes and poking fun at us younger sisters. She definitely taught me not to be so uptight as a kid. She lives in the moment, puts God and her precious girls first. Melissa will always tell you how she feels and let you know when you are acting stupid. Melissa loves big! If you are in, you will be loved for life! Thank you for being the best big sister and always being there for me no matter what.
Veronica Palleson
Bridesmaid
Vero! The baby sister! Vero is always surprising me! Like the time I witnessed her and her husband Josh have a rap battle in the car! They are pretty good too! Her fashion sense, deep love of music, art and love for Diego and Josh are enviable! She is as sweet as they come and that is my favorite thing about her. Even though she is grown now, there is an innocence about her that will always remain. There is truly no one in this world like Vero and I feel so blessed to call her my sissy!
Crystal Oceguera
Bridesmaid
A LEO in every way! Stability, loyalty and consistency! She is always making sure all family members are well taken care of and will always make sure we are good. I have much to learn from Crystal, still, as she learns new things about herself. Luckily, she has let me in on some of her adventures and I look forward to more adventures with my sissy! The fact that she supports me and will be standing by my side on this most special day means the world to me! Thank you Kiki!
Maya Menefee
Bridesmaid
Clark's beautiful daughter who so graciously accepted my request to being one of my bridesmaids. Tall, stunning, she walks in the room and one is sure she is a model! Even though she has modeled before, her main interests are in the areas of being a voice for those who have no voice. She is an advocate for people who are disadvantaged and strives to make an impact in the community. Clark is very proud of what she has accomplished at such a young age. An Ivy League graduate and now living in New York working for Google. We are honored and proud to have her by our sides on this special day.
Michael Menefee
Groomsman
My son and inspiration. I am very proud of this young man. He has always shown a determination to overcome obstacles that are put in his way. My fondest memory of him was when he was 8 years old and doing a rock climbing exercise that had to be completed in 5 minutes. He was terrified at first and when the 5 minutes was up, instead of quitting and turning around, he kept plugging along til he was finished while a crowd gathered below cheer him on. So happy to have him be part of our special day.
Mike Hagen
Groomsman
Mike and I met 20 plus years ago at our first job out of college. Enterprise-Rent-a-Car. He was brash, confident, and borderline cocky. Needless to say, we bonded from day 1! Ha! He and I have both been through a lot over the years and have always picked each other up with humor and positivity. "Living the dream" is always the response when I ask him how he is doing. I've since adopted this phrase as one of my own. Glad to have you celebrate with me on my special day
Will Jordan
Groomsman
Will has been like a brother to me ever since met. We met at Sacramento State and were both members of the Sacramento State basketball team. I've always appreciated his humor and his ability to keep me laughing and smiling. He kept me from making a lot of bad decisions back in the day with a phrase that will stay with me til the day I die: "You don't know how bad you are doing right now". Ha! Glad to have you be part of my special day.
Marvin Menefee
Groomsman
Marvin is my older brother and has been my protector since we were kids. There are so many great memories from our childhood. One of my favorite memories involves the summers we spent with our Aunt Versie in San Diego. We played baseball daily and then went to Dairy Queen for burgers and a shake afterwards. We were competitive in everything and our competitive battles really gave me an edge that has benefited me to this day. I appreciate him for always being there for me. Happy that you are part of wedding festivities.
Bryant Menefee
Groomsman
Bryant is the youngest Menefee brother, I used to rock him to sleep when he was a baby and now he is taller than me! I'm proud of the man he has become. We spent a lot of time as kids playing Nintendo and I will always cherish the days from our youth when I'd send you to the store to pick me up a Snickers and Milky Way candy bar. You never complained and were always eager to do it. Maybe because I always threw in some money for you to get candy as well :). Glad you'll be by my side on my special day.
Malcolm Merrimen
Groomsman
Malcolm is one of those people that you know no one will ever have anything bad to say about. He's always smiling and cracking jokes. We've been friends for 30 years and I love him like a brother. The times we spent competing at Sacramento State and in junior college gave me a great appreciation for him as a man and now a father himself. Hopefully he's finally learned how to drive a moped on the streets of Oahu (Inside joke). Ha!
