Wedding Party
Grant
Officiant
Grant first came up to me in our early years at Golden View Elementary and asked “Hey, wanna be best friends?” And we have been ever since. Deemed the Salt and Pepper Bros due to our inseparability during elementary school, we have already shared a lifetime of memories. Dedicated to his career in education, he has been a teacher and mentor not only to thousands of kids, but to me as well. A maverick on the soccer field and with elite chef skills to top it off, he combines talent with a solid moral bearing to be one of the best all around people that we know. Joanna and I can go into the next stages of our lives together with confidence when we have people like Grant (and his incredible wife Sarah) there to support us. We couldn’t imaging a better person to usher in our marriage.
Mateo, Joaquin, Niko, Julian
Bling Patrol
These top secret agents will be responsible for ensuring the security of the bling! Watch out! Their cuteness is a lot to bear ;)
Vicky
Bloom Babe
I’ve known Vicky my whole life (literally!), and she’s everything to me! She is caring, loving, funny, a little spicy, and oh-so-sweet. The definition of a babe. Growing up, she always had my back and to-date still takes care of me in more ways than she knows. I feel truly lucky to be her sister and to know that she has been and will always be in my life forever. I couldn’t imagine a more special person to bring on the blooms and the sparkle - one petal at a time.
Andrea
Maid of Honor
I met Andrea freshmen year at Cal Poly - we were summer roommates. First impression: she's sooo confident (...or crazy?)! After that, we were pretty much inseparable. As any good Bay Area friend should do, she taught me the hyphy ways. Good/bad- we've gone though it all - together. She is beautiful, smart, inspirational, supportive, hilarious, or in other words A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! She's my ride-or-die, and I'm HELLA excited to have her be a part of our special day.
Miriam
Bridesmaid
One. Of. A. Kind. Miriam is the oldest friendship I cherish dearly. We met in middle school and bonded soon after we joined student government - making it our mission to throw the best school dances. And the mission was accomplished :) Since then, I’ve admired her drive and her ability to make anything happen. Her warmth and genuine spirit naturally draw people in. Needless to say, she’s beautiful inside and out. I’m so grateful for our friendship and beyond happy to have her as my bridesmaid.
Cristina
Bridesmaid
I met Cristina at work over a decade ago—what started as an internship for her turned into one of the best friendships for me. Exploring LA and then the world together has been such a treat. She is bright, quirky, honest, curious, and most of all, incredibly kind. Cristina has the rare ability to make you laugh with her bold/sexy sense of humor while also offering introspective, genuine advice when you need it most. A talent or magic? Whether we’re dreaming up new memories, diving into hypothetical conversations, or trying out new places to eat, time with her is always energizing. It's no brainer that she's my bridesmaid.
Nikki
Bridesmaid
It’s never a dull moment with Nikki. From the first time I met her (at the curbside of an airport), she’s been equal parts impressive and slightly mysterious. She somehow knows the most random facts, has effortless athletic abilities, has an elite-level poker face, and can find answers to questions you didn’t even realize you had. She always has a playlist ready to go and brings the best attitude to even the most questionable plans. Laughter always included. If there’s a will, she WILL find a way! She's an amazing friend, and I absolutely can’t wait to have her by my side as a bridesmaid.
Ricky
Bridesmate
Ricky is, without a doubt, the cheese to my macaroni. We met freshman summer at Cal Poly and soon after became the dynamic trio with Andrea. Our friendship only got stronger once we became housemates after college —basically locking him in as one of my best friends for life. He’s thoughtful, intelligent, loving, reliable, loyal, and indeed a hopeless romantic (even though he won't admit it)… with just the right amount of ratchet to keep life interesting. When it comes to adventure, he’s like the Energizer Bunny—he just keeps going and going. And he somehow always has the energy to do more. Life’s just way more fun with Ricky in it. He's a top-tier human who happens to be my best friend! The perfect brides-mate.
Rob
Best Man
Rob and I have been friends for over two decades. And not just the type of friends that hang out and grab a drink every now and then. Neighbors growing up, roommates in college, roommates after college, and now coworkers that sit five feet from each other; from the streets of San Ramon to summiting peaks in the Sierras, I just can’t seem to get rid of this guy. He has been there with me every step of the way. I’ve shared more laughs, cries, and Coors Lights with this guy than I could count. A great fishing buddy, friend, brother, father and husband, I couldn’t be more honored to have him as my best man.
Dylan
Groomsman
Dylan is the middle brother and moral compass of us DeLonzor bros. He is wicked smart and always up for a challenge – Whether that challenge is building a silicon manufacturing line in the garage, learning new tricks on a wakeboard or a new Guns N Roses riff on the guitar. Never wavering from his ethical and astute approach to life, his boldness while quietly challenging status quos has always been an inspiration for me. And brave to boot – I went on my first roller coaster as a kid because Dylan couldn’t wait to jump on (even though I was terrified), and I couldn’t let my younger bro out do me. I may be the oldest, but it has always been great to have a younger brother to look up to.
Devon
Groomsman
The youngest (and tallest) of us DeLonzor brothers, what he lacks in age he makes up for in height and charisma. Since he was a kid, he had a knack for remembering one liners from commercials and movies that he had seen years ago. Intelligent and clever, you can have a witty and engaging conversation with Devon about anything from global politics to thermodynamics. I have been a very proud older brother watching Devon grow from a smart, athletically gifted teenager into a canny and motivated young professional that I look up to – both figuratively and literally.
Robby
Groomsman
Robby is my oldest friend. Growing up as next-door neighbors, we have known each other since we were born. Robby was an anchor of my childhood, and his give it your all approach to life became my understanding of adventure and courage – Somewhere between Evil Knievel and Lewis & Clark. We’ve taken our adventures from the dirt BMX jumps behind our house to multi country trips in Europe. I’m honored to have him as a groomsman and excited for more adventures to come.
Derek
Groomsman
After meeting during my freshman year in college, Droth was kind enough to take the moniker “Tall Derek” so that I did not have to be referred to as “Short Derik”. We have since made countless memories, living it up in San Luis Obispo and four-wheeling ourselves into, and (usually) out of, precarious situations down mountain dirt roads. Always willing to face a new challenge, try a new recipe (like digging a hole in our backyard and pit roasting some meat), Derek is never afraid to get his hands dirty. He is there for you whether you need a tow truck or just a shoulder to lean on, a 3am buddy who’s friendship I value immensely.
Andrew
Groomsman
Andrew and I have been friends ever since I can remember, from the preschool playground to post-college roommates in San Francisco. A connoisseur of good food and fun facts (he was the first person I know to get a smart phone – which we deemed the “Orb” of information as kids), he has been a steadfast friend throughout my life. He might be the first person to fall asleep at the bachelor party, but he’s also the first person to pick up a phone call when you need him.
Dan
Groomsman
Dan has been a good friend since our teenage years. Smart, clever and always up for something new, Dan brings thoughtful conversation and a few witty one liners to any situation. And while he is a mixer of good drinks and good music, he is also a very morally conscious person, and his thoughtful advice has been a cornerstone for me over the years.
Joey
Groomsman
A friend of mine for decades, Joey has been an epitome of effortless athleticism and natural brainpower since we were kids. Maturing at a young age, and so earning the nickname “Jebediah”, he was an early source of fun times and positive influence in my life. Now, you might find him on a beach volleyball court, hiking mountain peaks, or at his job sending various objects into space – an aficionado of pushing the limits, always with a smile and his signature Joey laugh.
Mike
Groomsman
A luminary of music and the arts, Mike blends good vibes and a scholarly intellect into a truly individual approach to life. No situation is the same without Mike there, which is just one of the reasons I have appreciated his friendship for decades. A well read and contemplative person, I will always value the full spectrum of thoughtful conversations we’ve had over the years.
