Maid of Honor
Dileon and Gabby have been friends since they were both in sister Trevino's Sunday School at Christian Life Center, even so they were basically neighbor's growing up. Sharing their common love interest in music, food and having a good time they've been inseparable. Gabby loves Dilly for her huge heart and her cheeky sense of humour. Shes super excited to see what the future holds for Phil and Dileon.

Andrea is Dileon’s older sister. She goes way back with the bride to diaper changing days! Andrea has always been super protective of her little sister and growing up any boy that tried to come around didn't last more than 5 seconds after being interrogated by Andrea. But Phil, needed no interrogation. Dileon has found the man God has for her and her big sister couldn’t be happier for her. ❤️
Bridesmaid
Jenn and Dileon have been buddies since 2017 when Jenn found her way to Abundant Life. Their friendship was solidified on a missions trip where they earned the ever famous nicknames Tinkles and Puddles (IYKYK). Dileon is also godmother to Jenn's daughter, Dani. Phil has stepped in as godfather and it couldn't be more of a blessing.

Dileon and Anna met in 2018 when Anna moved to Utah. They hit it off fairly quick but became really good friends after a trip to Safeway 🫣 Dileon and Anna’s friendship consists of oatmeal cookie/unicorn cake bribery, heart to hearts, Dileon holding Anna while riding Haunted Mansion at Disney, and lots of laughter. We prayed for this moment for a long time. Anna loves Phil and Dileon very much and is super excited for their future. The best is yet to come!

When I first meet Dilly it was at ALSM! It was like reconnecting with an old friend. She is warm, accepting and cared for everyone that came. Dilly became my little sister. I’m so happy for her and Phil, and can’t wait to see what God has in store for them!!
Bridesmaid
Monica and Dilly became friends through ALSM. Dilly’s warm, caring, nurturing spirit drew Monica in, and she knew they were kindred spirits. Phil completes Dilly. He was the missing piece to her tender heart.
Bridesmaid
Joan had been telling Phil, her hubby's best friend/brother, that he should give her a sister soon. So, she got so excited and tickled pink when Phil finally brought Dileon to their house to hangout. Right off the bat, Joan saw Dilly's beauty inside and out both as a friend and a "sister-in-law". Thus, Joan challenged Phil to pray for and pursue Dileon because of how beautiful catch she is for him. And the rest is history!
Best Man
Jacob is Phillip’s little brother. They have been buddies since they could crawl. They’ve always had each other’s backs whatever mischief they (mostly Jacob got into and needed help out of) got into. He couldn’t be happier for the partner Phillip has found in Dileon and the wonderful new sister he’s gaining too.

Several years ago when Joshua found Freedom Worship Center he didn’t just find a new church - he found a new family, new brothers and sisters in Christ - and Phil was a part of that family. Through the years, Phil has proven himself to be a loyal, kind, and respected brother. Dileon has made a wonderful addition to the church family, but more than that - she created a bond with Phil. The kind of bond where “two can stand back-to-back and conquer!” (Ecclesiastes 4:12) May they conquer all the obstacles that occur in life together!

Sid is Phillips brother-in-law. He had the joy of being Phillips high school teacher, basketball coach, and Youth Pastor. They traveled the United States and Mexico spreading the good news about Jesus on several trips and of course lots of ministry around the Salt Lake Valley for many years. And last year they had fun attending a Jazz playoff game as the win clinched the series over the Grizzles. Phillip and Dileon are a perfect match to continue the ministry and keep the cheering on for the Utah sports teams too.

From Jimmy: I'm Jimmy the eldest brother of Phillip. despite our twelve-year gap. I had the remarkable opportunity of watching him grow into one of the most intelligent human beings I have met and have always looked up to my little brother despite his stature. I can go on and on about the great qualities my brother possesses and I would have to say the most valuable thing that he and Dileon have is one another.

I am Phillip's 2nd oldest brother. I am 10yrs. older and have known Phillip his whole life. My first interaction that I remember with Dilleon was at church. My wife Michelle slapped my bald head not knowing that Dilleon was right there to see it all. What a look of surprise she had. I assured her we were not fighting. I had scared her at the water fountain. We all had a good laugh. Phillip and Dilleon I am so overjoyed that you two get to spend the rest of your lives together. Always keep God at the center of your lives and you will do great. " I have found the one whom my soul loves." Song of Solomon 3:4

Phillip M and Phil Franco have been best of friends since 2007. They work together in ministry and work in the same work place as well. Phillip M always told Phil F not to pray and look for a girlfriend material but a wife material. Phillip M knew that Phil listened to his advice when Phil finally told him that he wanted to marry Dileon. Phillip M is excited and happy for his brother Phil!
