Coral & Matthew
Wedding Party
Leslie Shipman
Matron of Honor
Leslie and Coral met in high school. They went on a snowboarding trip to Utah with the school and they have been friends ever since. All of Coral's "wild and crazy" stories from high school and beyond MOST LIKELY involve Leslie. She is like a sister to Coral and brings so much joy to her life and always has. They say friendships that last more than 10 years become lifelong, but she didn't need 10 days to know that this beautiful, smart, sassy, LOUD, loving woman would be her friend for life!
Lacey Pfaeffli
Bridesmaid
Lacey and Coral met unexpectedly through a blind date of Lacey's in 2006. The boy didn't stick but their friendship did and they quickly bonded over their hot pink Motorola Razrs, their matching pink Target Bikinis, and their love of Smirnoff Raspberry and that was just the first weekend they spent together! They continued to make memories and go on trips to the river and the desert together over the years. Coral loves Lacey deeply and couldn't imagine her special day with out Lacey beside her.
Rachel Brav
Bridesmaid
Rachel and Coral met through Matron of Honor Leslie in 2004. Their first time meeting was a snowboarding trip to Utah. After an EPIC trip, they were easily friends moving forward. Rachel was the first one to show through action and love, what it looked like for a peer to be a mother and she did it so beautifully and gracefully and Coral has always looked up to her for being such a kick ass Mama! Through the years, one thing has always been clear, and that is that Rachel is a true OG friend to Coral and has her back always. The day would not be complete with out her presence and love!
Echo Lane
Bridesmaid
Echo and Coral met through Echo's boyfriend Marcus. They bonded quickly over being crazy Gemini's and really that's all they really needed to know about each other! That, and their shared love of G-Eazy! They have gone on countless trips together, countless concerts, and the most adult sleep overs and continue to have the most fun in any and all things they do together. They even have friendship cats who are sisters! Echo has become one of Coral's best friends and confidants throughout their years of friendship and they get closer and closer as time goes on.
Frank Shipman
Best Man
Matt and Frank met on the picket lines of Vons in 2003. While Frank and Justin (also a groomsman) were on employment strike, Matt and David (also a groomsman), showed support for their cause by fueling their desire to protest with Mickey's 40s in the parking lot. From there, many years of close friendship transpired and has only strengthened with time. Matt and Frank fuel each others competitive nature on and off the field with their love for sports. Frank is married to Leslie, who is Coral's best friend since High School. What a coincidence.
David Silva
Groomsman
Matt and David met when Matt moved for the first time when he was nine. He saw David and some other kids playing roller hockey and football in the street and was immediately interested. From then on, they were inseparable. Breaking bones, fighting, partying, learning from each other, and growing from young boys into men, David has always been there and is one of Matt's best friends.
Justin Sinkewicz
Groomsman
Justin in Matt actually met competing for David's (also a groomsman) attention in High School. It didn't take long to realize that they could all be friends and it would be way more fun. So that's what they did. From the Mexico vacays, snowboard trips and L.A. visits, Justin and Matt have been very close ever since.
Marcus Catron
Groomsman
Marcus and Matt met playing little league together back in Middle School. They didn't always see each other the over the years, but when they did it was always a good time. That brotherly bond was always there and has only gotten stronger over the years. One thing is for sure, Marcus has always had Matt's back, the same Matt has had Marcus'. Marcus is also one of Coral's best friends and a true "ride or die".
