Natasha & Matt
Wedding Party
Catherine Gibson
Maid of Honor
My sister.. my right hand wing woman. Although I annoy her at times (most of the time), our bonding sister relationship is something I cherish very much. From our storytelling performances to having odd conversations to dancing to the music, it is never a dull moment with her. Let’s bring out the tissue box lol!
Grady Gallagher
Best Man
If you put ice cream and almond milk (YES, specifically almond milk) together, that’s what describes Grady and I’s friendship. I’m not sure if that makes sense, but that’s why it makes perfect sense. The Universe sliced an atom in half and produced someone who has always been on my side. Thanks to Grady, I have evolved past the limitations of my mind. I love you, Grady!
Matthew Simmons
Bridesman
The best way to describe our friendship is we are 2 peas in the pod! We are so different yet so similar and have been there for each other since Middle School. Matthew, who keeps my sanity at bay, makes me laugh in any situation. His bold personality that makes him shine in any room and his famous, wise words are, “It is what it is.”
Brandon Marin
Groomsman
This is the man who has been there for me from the day we met. Our brothership has endured storms like no other and always makes it out in the light of the sea. Our conversations, our like-minded missions, and most importantly, our unconditional support for one another make him a keeper. I love you, Brando!
Amanda Gnilo
Bridesmaid
Even though we were roommates, we weren't those typical roommates... Amanda knows me inside out, like a book. We rode the rollercoaster ride together. It was a good ride because we had (and still do) each other through the goods and bads. Plus, all those dates we had to endure while we were single lol. We always had those moments together where we can talk and be vulnerable with each other. And our fashion trades were always on point lol!
Valerie Rose
Groomswoman
Since we met, we’ve developed a rulebook for our friendship. Rule #<3 is always love and always be there for each other. We have traveled beyond the Universe and back with our imaginationnnn (remember that song?). No matter the distance, our love for each other’s being and silliness will shine through any darkness. I love you, Valerie!
Brian Cole
Bridesman
"REALLY..." the famous words of Brian's. Many of our Pizza Man nights, wine nights and game nights led to a strong friendship. The giggles and laughs from your teasing and a mad talent imitation of Ryan Lane - I can’t get enough of that. Most importantly, you have been there and you are family.
Spencer Montan
Groomsman
My 6-pack abs are all thanks to Spencer’s hysterical ASL stories. Not only that, but he filled my heart with his love and acceptance of who I am. He has always been there for me through the tough and fun times. Even that helicopter squirrel is still hanging around, ready to pick us up and take us off to the next destination. I love you, Spencer!
Michael Epstein
Bridesmaid
It was love at first friendship when I first met Michael. We instantly connected through our own quirkiness, witty humor, and sharing the same interests in music. Most importantly, we are able to be our selves with each other. His heart is bigger than the universe.
Martin Watkins
Groomsman
Although we aren’t blood-related, we still call each other cousins! He is a true definition of family – loyal, loving, respectful, accepting, and puts in an opinion or 3. He values my being and always looks out for me. I don’t care what the DNA tests say – He is my FAMILY, along with everyone else here! I love you, Martin!
Chase Burton
Bridesman
One of the highlights on how Chase and I met was when I was waiting in a long line for a unisex bathroom. I was wearing this crazy suspender on my skirt and Chase was standing behind me. He said, “I like your suspenders!” and we were able to connect from that moment. I was drawn to his unique weirdness and I realized we understood each other’s weirdness! One of the qualities of Chase is… he is man of his words. He truly is a genuine soul that cares about everyone’s being. I am grateful to have a friend like Chase in my life.
Michael Wong
Groomsman
Mike has always been someone I look up to. I admire his dedication, his diligence, his commitment to making the world and himself a better “place.” I always leave our conversations with my brain increasing in mass. I always learn something from Mike, who is one of the best friends and teachers I’ve had. I love you, Mike!
