Taylor & Jason
Wedding Party
Kendall
Maid of Honor
Kendall is Jason's big sister. Although she made sure I knew it when I met her, she has since become a sister to me also. Kendall is the toughest woman I know. She's also one of the funniest, most energetic, and loving women I know. She has been there for me through thick and thin, and has always treated me like a sister of her own. It took me a while to win her over, but it sure was worth it.
Kyle
Best Man
Kyle has been my best friend since day one. We have an inside joke that I was there when he was born. Since that day, Kyle and I experienced an inseparable childhood. During the summer we would hang out every single day and during the school year we would look forward to hanging out every weekend. Transferring to BHS my junior year, we were able to enjoy school years like the summertime and even become fellow All Stars together at the end of our football season. It is hard to keep track of all the memories with Kyle because there are so many of them and they are all outstanding. People often "mistake" us as brothers and we never correct them. He really is a brother to me and nothing will ever change that. Best of all, he is the sole reason I met the love of my life, Taylor.
Kayla
Maid of Honor
I met Kayla when I was a freshman in high school. I was immediately drawn to her calm, cool, and sporty demeanor. We became best friends quickly and have been ever since. Her and her family always felt like a second home to me. An Aquarius like me, our thoughts, emotions and desires always seems to align. She's one of a kind.
Jacob
Best Man
Jacob has always had a special place in my heart being my younger brother and as Jacob grows into a man, he impresses me more and more. Being the youngest of 4 siblings, Jacob grew up very fast. His maturity and intelligence is something to be proud of. What I love most about Jacob are his good intentions. He always wants the best for everyone he cares about & will do anything to make sure his family is happy. Jacob and I see eye to eye on everything. I don't think we've ever had a disagreement. I really enjoy my time with Jacob and he always teaches me something new. I enjoy telling him about my "old school" inside jokes and him explaining to me the "new" lingo. I can't wait to see Jacob continue to grow & I know we will become an even bigger part of each others lives as we get older.
Liz
Bridesmaid
I only met Liz a few years ago, but she has quickly become one of my closest friends. She has a heart bigger than anybody I know. She is the kindest, most caring, most loving woman I have ever met. Her smile is contagious and whenever I am down in the dumps, she knows how to turn my day around.
Ryan
Groomsman
Ryan is the best Brother-In-Law a guy could ask for. Having a sister, the one and only thing you can hope for growing up is that they fall in love with a good man. Ryan has surpassed my expectations. He is driven, intelligent, responsible, and much more. He is a great friend of mine and another brother in addition. I know Ryan is always there for me as I am him. You can learn a lot from Ryan and he is someone to rub shoulders with. It's going to be great having him in the wedding party and I know he will take "having a good time" very seriously!
Megan
Bridesmaid
Megan is a true role model. She has been there for me when I needed life advice or someone to lean on. She is strong, wise, and hilarious. When things get rough, I always know I can count on Megan to be there for me. She's also a Packer's fan, which obviously stole my heart.
Doug
Groomsman
Doug fills every category of what qualifies to be a good friend. He is loyal, caring, honest, and will teach you something pretty often. Doug and I spent a good amount of time together during our childhood and moving into our adult years. We share a lot of the same interests and always have a good time when hanging out. Doug came to our house for a family function in 2013 and introduced me to a world where there was no turning back. The world of craft beer! Anyone that knows me today, knows that I love beer of all kinds. My first ever beer buddy is Doug Doty. Nothing compares to enjoying a cold one with this guy and having good conversation. I look forward to many more! He also makes a damn good strawberry margarita but you gotta be a "BRUDDY" (no spelling errors) to enjoy one of those.
Rebecca
Bridesmaid
Becca and I became friends in middle school. Both of us loved sports. We played basketball together and even swam together for a few years. In high school, we used to leave campus for lunch together everyday and she'd normally let me win and get my favorite Mexican food, even though she hated it. Becca is competitive, determined, loving, and reliable. She is someone I can always count on.
Pat
Groomsman
I met Pat while attending Branham High School through the best man and cousin, Kyle. Pat might as well be blood with how highly I think of him. There is something different about the guy that provides an unconditional love. His loyalty above all is what makes him such a good person. Our time in high school playing football and hanging out created a bond that was untouchable between Pat and I. A bond that we value tremendously. It wasn't long before I started telling Pat that I think of him like a brother. It's one of those things you just know when you spend enough time with someone. Pat is a special person to me and there isn't anything I wouldn't do for him and I know that feeling is mutual. We would have each others back on anything. Can't wait to celebrate the big day with this guy!
Elizabeth
Bridesmaid
My cousin was always my big sister growing up. She has always been a protector of me, and still is. She has loved me for all my craziness and never judged me. She has taught me to be a fearless, confident woman like we were both raised by. She is sweet, goofy, and loving but don't let that fool you- she is also extremely bright and tenacious.
Forrest
Groomsman
There is never a dull moment with Forrest Cerrato. You know that if you have a day or evening planned with Forrest, you WILL have fun. Never a doubt. Forrest is funny as hell, smart, hard-working, and always provides the recipe for a good time. A shot of Jameson may or may not be in the recipe. On top of all that, Forrest is a great husband, fantastic dad, and valued member of his community. His hard work is noticed by many including myself. Forrest provides a lot that a person can look up to and appreciate. I am honored to have him a part of our big day.
Sabrina
Bridesmaid
Sabrina is a best friend from college. She was the smartest girl in my molecular biology class and immediately caught my attention. I knew I needed to be friends with her because smarty-pants like that are hard to come by. She is there for me no matter what. She says it like it is. She is brilliant, determined, and fun-loving. Don't let her brains fool you! She knows how to have a great time too-aways the life of the party.
Ray
Groomsman
Ray is a textbook example of a good friend and good man. He is tough, strong, caring, and giving all at the same time! It's not very often you run into a guy like him but when you do, you keep him close. Ray's genuine approach towards friendship is second to none. You can always trust what he says is what he means and there is no grey area or question. He says it like it is. Ray will be by your side at your best and support you during the lows. His friendship means a great deal to me.
Sadaf
Bridesmaid
I met Sadaf in undergrad and we became good friends during our Master's degree at SJSU. Another beauty with brains, we clicked. Lucky me, she also chose to pursue a PhD at Santa Cruz and we became even closer in grad school. We carpooled our first year to Santa Cruz and that's when I knew she was a friend for life. She listens to all my worries and struggles, and never judges me for who I am.
Andrew
Groomsman
Andrew and I grew up together. We have experienced so much side by side and it is very important to me he is a part of my big day. Andrew has so much to offer through his brotherhood and friendship. I admire his drive to succeed and provide a good life for his family. He works his butt off and values a healthy lifestyle which motivates me. He expects the best from the people around him and those are the kind of people you want to be around. He is there for me and I am here for him no matter what. He has recently become a father and I cannot wait to be a part of his growing family. Love you bro!
Josh
Groomsman
I am proud to call Josh my friend. Even though he was Taylor's friend first, him and I have realized that we can be just as good of buddies if not better! My future wife has a great eye for good people. It is because of her that I have had the pleasure of meeting someone like Josh. Hanging out with him and Sabrina is always a good time and I look forward to many more good times. Josh spreads his light with his good attitude, incredible smarts, and his happy/healthy approach to life. He is truly someone you'd want to surround yourself with.
