Matron of Honor
Besties with the Bride since 2010 and one of my dearest friends. From the moment we met we knew our friendship was kismet! Even though we don't agree on the food at restaurants, we pretty much agree with everything else. We’ve since shared plenty of late-night sessions, been through a lot of life's issues together, the good and the bad! Couldn't have done the wedding without her and couldn't imagine not having her by my side for the wedding!
Best Man
John and I met in kindergarten and have been friends ever since. we became best friends in high school and have been inseparable. having gone through so much from a boating accident to joining the ARMY together. we both share a love for basketball, fishing, and riding our Harley's. When asking for a best man it should be your best friend as well! Hes definitely someone I can trust with anything I throw at him and that's why he's the best man! If you've ever seen Jay and Ron together in person, you know their bromance runs deep. (So deep, in fact, that Danielle tries not to be jealous, esp. since if Ron had to save one of them....I don't think it would be his new bride.) Best of friends, more like brothers! The wedding day wouldn't be complete without John's unforgettable presence.
Bridesmaid
Bride's baby girl and groom's mini (since she is so much like him) Most intuitive people reader, bravest and strongest girl I know. I still want to be like her when I grow up. Fiercely independent, loves all things Halloween, scary and otherworldly. Has inherited her mother's quick wit and sarcasm but takes it to a whole new level (yikes, didn't think that was possible), goes after what she wants with intention and purpose. My favorite girl who will one day change the world.
Groomsman
we met playing basketball at the bottom of my grandmother's street, Pinole ave in Rodeo. and since then have been inseparable ever since. having been through so much in such a short life from stuck chevy s10 in a place we weren't supposed to be trying to ditch the law to loaning his boat to which Rich, jay, and i ended up capsized for seven hours and nearly lost it all! Let's not forget the rock fights while fishing where Jayson's knee popped out of socket. But through it all we have remained close and till this day still hang out and golf fish and hunt. He is without a doubt a true friend! He is always there to offer up advice and be there when you need him most and for that i love him and proud to call him my groomsman.
Bridesmaid
Older sister of the bride (though she doesn't like to admit it) Bride's first best friend and Wonder Twin. We fought as most siblings do but became the best of friends as adults. Perfect partner in crime and set an example of what not to do growing up! Super book smart and worked her butt off to get to where she is today and I am super proud of her and all of her accomplishments. She will always have a special place in my heart. There was no question that she needed to be by my side for the wedding.
Groomsman
Robert and i grew up in the same neighborhood and enjoyed the love of basketball. Having grown up younger than myself neither of us knew that that wouldn't make a difference in our adult years. With both of us going in the military, myself in the ARMY and Rob the MARINES! Later with both of us out and back home we would eventually get reacquainted on the courts and in everyday life, and I'm glad we did! Rob is an amazing friend to have by your side and we have been through so much together like backwards in a ditch in my BMW, and yes you were right to fast for the conditions Rob! Also racing the HONDA all the time to bouncing at the bar for Uncle Ricky. I absolutely could not ask anyone else to join me on this new journey with me and looking forward to many more with you buddy!
Bridesmaid
Bride's younger sister (by more years than we care to admit). I was her main babysitter and always felt like she was partly mine since she was always with me. Drove me crazy watching the "Sandlot" 100 times in a row. Has a huge heart, loves animals and has a deep connection with them. Loves to bake and makes the best fudge and pies. I can't imagine my special day without her standing by my side—just like when we were growing up.
Groomsman
what can i say when you have a brother like Brian! Hes's kind understanding and thoughtful with a knack for being there when you need him most. He is my fishing buddy and the one i argue with the most over football or anything else but that's just because we love each other and are both passionate about what we both put ourselves behind! I wouldn't want anyone else to go through life with as a brother!
Jr. Bridesmaid
Bride's oldest niece. Has the best smile and purest heart. Has an amazing talent for fashion, hair (like the space buns you did for me) and makeup. Is great with her littlest sister and helps take great care of her. I hope she is able to keep the smile on her face and happiness in her heart and that it stays with her forever. I couldn’t be happier to have her standing by my side on my wedding day.
Groomsman
Bride's baby boy (although no longer a baby) and grooms sports and golf buddy. My caring, sweet, kind, loving boy. You taught me what true love was and automatically made me realize why a mother would sacrifice themselves for their children. You and I have always had a special bond as we are so much alike, including your stubbornness and love of jewelry! Loves all things sports and Hawaiian. I am so proud of you and the man you are becoming. As you continue to grow and learn who you are and what your place is in this world, you will accomplish great things. Just remain focused as you go ahead, one step at a time and you will finally reach the place you want to be.
Jr. Bridesmaid
Bride's second niece. I have seen you become a beautiful lady from a little girl. From liking barbies to liking boys. I hope your life is always blessed with unconditional love, respect and understanding. May you always be the queen who rules your own heart, and you find happiness and peace in this life. Always have faith in yourself. I am so happy that she will be next to me on my wedding day.
Groomsman
what can i say about my son that everyone doesn't already see every time they are around him! He is a spitting image of his mother and yet you can see so much of me in him as well. He enjoys playing video games and doing hobbies like painting shoes. He can always make me laugh when he talks crap to me trying to get me to wrestle him or just cap on me. I've watched him grow up so fast and accomplish so much that i know his mom and Dad would be very proud of him! I can't wait to see what the rest of his life holds because it's going to be exciting!
Jr. Bridesmaid
Bride's third niece. Baking is her superpower, and she makes amazing cakes and desserts. I used to watch her when she was little and even then, she had a sweet, kind heart. Always volunteering and ok with not going first and waiting and protecting her twin brother. I hope that your life unfurls greatest joys for you. Always be happy and keep smiling. I am so happy to have you next to me on my wedding day.
Usher
Bride's first nephew. I was in the room the moment you were born. You have grown up faster than I could have imagined. From your love of Blue's Clues, Bear in the Big Blue House, The Wiggles, Power Rangers to your video games! You are truly a gem and I wish you every piece of joy in this life. I am so happy you are a part of this day.
Flower Girl
Bride's youngest and littlest niece. I can't believe how fast you are growing already. A very active girl who loves Buzz Lightyear, Toy Story, Brave, Frozen 2, sing and most things Disney, playing with her dolls and swing. Being a Covid baby has had some limitations, but I can't wait to watch you grow.
Flower Girl
We recently had my niece over for dinner and it was awesome to hang out for a long period of time. She is so smart and cute and just really had us laughing the hole night. To watch her and my sister interact together was amazing. She is so full of energy and personality that it was contagious, made me think of my brother and I when we were young. There is no doubt that this young lady is going places. Everyone is in for a treat at the wedding I guarantee it!
Usher
Bride's youngest nephew. It was clear from the day you were born that you were going to be a force. Full of life and energy with your love of all things Marvel, swords and play fighting when you were little! When I babysat you, I had to keep and extra eye on you. Seeing you turn into such an impressive young man has been one of the joys of my life. With your high morals for all things equal and fair, I know you will do great things one day. My day would not be the same without you being a part of it.
