Melissa & Austin

Wedding Party

Meet our family and friends who will be walking down the aisle with us!

Johanna (Jojo) Kedroski

Maid of Honor

For those of you who don't already have the pleasure of knowing me :), I'm Jojo - the beautiful bride's cousin. Sydney is by far one of the most amazing people in my life. Some of my best memories have been growing up with her. From playing dress up as kids, to late night karaoke, endless laughs, and to swimming with sharks. We've shared it all. I'm just fortunate enough to get to share this next chapter of her life with her and my new cousin, Austin<3

Jr Maloata

Best Man

I am Austin’s oldest brother. If I were to describe my relationship with my little brother, it would be respect. He has always been there whenever I or our family has ever needed anything. Austin is the type of man that's always there for you with no questions asked. A true definition of a brother’s keeper. I am honored to have you as a blood brother. I love you uso!

Maid of Honor

Melissa and I have been best friends since we were 11 years old. We’ve been there for each other through it all! I have her back throughout any situation she’s in. We are the complete opposite, but exactly the same at the same time and that’s what I love most about our relationship. Now, we are at the moment we’ve been talking about since we were 15. I always knew Melissa would get married first! Melissa, you are on an incredible new journey and I will be there for you whenever you need me! I love you Syd!

Tui Maloata

Best Man

Austin is my younger brother and best friend. Ever since he was a kid, he has always been successful in everything he sets his mind to. From living in Long Beach, to the island of American Samoa and to different states for football and college. Austin has always been my right hand man and I could depend on him for anything. Austin’s positive energy, enthusiasm, and outgoing personality is a contagious vibe that spreads in every room he steps foot in. The vibe and party isn’t complete if Austin is missing lol. Austin you have accomplished a lot so far in your life and I’m beyond blessed to call you my brother. I’m proud of how hard you’ve worked to get to this moment and I’m excited to share this special day with you. Love you always my brother!

Bridesmaid

Ate Sydney is my cousin, but she became my older sister that I never had. I could always count on her and talk to her about anything. She always makes me laugh when I'm feeling down, is always down to join me in our boba addictions and there's never a dull moment with Ate. I wouldn't change a single thing about our relationship. Ate has always helped guide me through life and we have each other's back through it all. Love you Ate!

I am blessed to have such an astonishing yet humble and God fearing brother like Austin. His ability to strive for success and hunger to thrive in this life will remain an aspiration I’ll hold for myself. May your giving hand to others be a blessing tenfold for your future. No words can exemplify my deepest appreciation for you. Thank you for having my back! Usos for life !

Johanna De Silva

Bridesmaid

When I met Syd in 2009, I knew her as my boyfriend’s little sister… 10 years later, I get to officially call her my sister. Since then, I’ve been welcomed with open arms, laughs and glasses of wine. It’s an honor to now be a part of the day where she marries the love of her life and welcome a new member to the family!

Groomsman

My brother from another mother. Austin and I met playing football back in Samoa. We grew up together through some of the wildest times in my life. Through all of our ups and downs, Austin and his family always showed me love. They never turned their backs and always looked out for me when I was in town or in the village. From then on, we built a bond so strong that we became family. Even though we may be going through our own lives, I'll always be here for you. That’s 4L! My A1 since Day1. Our relationship is still the same. I’m thankful to still be apart of my uso’s life and also to be with him on his special day. Much love Austin & Melissa 🤍

Bridesmaid

MELISSAAA! This beautiful soul is one of my absolute favorite people in the world. We laugh until our cheeks hurt and I’m genuinely concerned if I’m ever going to breathe again. We also cry together when life gets hard and dance our butts off since it’s our favorite form of working out! I think that’s what a true friend is… someone who sees all of you and accepts you and loves you. No matter how many minutes, hours, days or years, it feels like we never left. Now we just have more stories to tell and new songs to dance to! <3

Groomsman

My first time meeting Austin and Melissa was at Austin Peay. There was an instant connection with Austin, Melissa, my wife and daughter. From the numerous moments we spent drilling on our craft, making our families proud, to the foundation on which we were raised, an aiga (family). My family, Austin and Melissa spent lots of time together. They were even there for when my daughter learned how to crawl. We always were there for each other giving advice when need be and holding each other accountable. Austin and Melissa are some of the nicest, warm hearted and courageous individuals I have ever met. Alofa atu ia outou mai le matou aiga. (Love and blessings from my family to yours)

Kate Emmert

Bridesmaid

Hello, I’m Kate! For those who don’t know me, I’m one of Melissa’s close friends and bridesmaid! I met Mel back in 2018 at a little boba shop. I mean where else are you going to meet her, the girl drinks boba like her life depends on it… Little did I know, my co-worker would turn into my forever friend. From the early memories like you sneaking me drinks, to the later ones like sitting on the beach with you, Austin and Avery, singing along to R&B. I can’t wait to make new memories with you and Austin. I’m extremely happy to see you start a new chapter with the one that was made for you. Love you both!
