Wedding Party
Shawn Livingstone
Mother of the Bride
My wonderful mother! Your love is so true, fierce, and passionate! You have raised 4 beautiful people and have done so well by each of us. At every twist and turn that life offers, you have been there for each of us, offering any sort of support that we may need. Your love knows no bounds, and we are living proof of that. I have loved watching you create bonds and memories with your grandkids, the sweetest gifts! You have not only accepted Eliyah as my life-partner, but truly embraced him as your son. We feel your love and support with us daily. I am happy you will be there with us on our special day!
Juakherri Irizarry
Brother of the Bride
My wonderful Big Brother! Of course, as time and family have grown, I have gained brothers, and a brother in law. However, no one holds the spot that you do, as we have shared a mom, and our beautiful sisters. You and I have a special bond, and have been best friends, had ups and downs, crazy adventures, and many great stories! You'll be walking me down the aisle, and we'll be looking back on this day together with great joy!
Shama Gustavsson
Mother of the Groom
My Sweet Momma Shama! I am so grateful I got you as my Mom. Having children of my own now widens my scope of understanding what it takes to be a parent and it is a big job. Raising four children is quite the feat and I feel like we all turned out pretty okay! Shama is passionate about personal growth and from early on invested in our spiritual education and for that I am also very grateful. I will always love and cherish you Shama!
Keniya Hosendove
Matron of Honor
My lovely sister, and eldest of the siblings. You have watched and nurtured me on my path to grow into the woman I have become. You are always there for me and saying just what I need to hear, and you do so with passion and grace! We have built many wonderful memories together, and this will by-far be one of the best. Your elegance and your strong beauty will shine right along with me on this fun day! I can't wait to share laughter, and look back on this day years from now!
Sol Gibson
Maid of Honor
Lovely Little sister, we have traveled through so many experiences in life together. I am so happy to have had you by my side so many times, holding hands and lifting each other up as we do! You have always had my best interest in mind, and have made it your duty to ensure I know you are here for me. No matter what life sends our way. Your courage, and your wits will not be missed on my special day!
Anders Gustavsson
Best Man
Anders is my biological brother and more importantly my life long friend too. Anders is an amazing person and has had a beautiful effect on whom I have become. He has really been there for me. I believe I chose him to be my brother in this life so of course he will be chosen as best man too. I will always see your strength and let it inspire my own. Thank you my Anders!
Ashley Hosendove
Bridesmaid
My lovely sister! Thanks to Keniya, I have gained a sister in you. I loved you from the start, and knew that we would have a great bond. You have such a beautiful spirit and light within you, it shines even on the darkest days. We have shared our moments together and have had some really great times! I am so happy to have gotten to know you, and see you blossom into the wonderful person that you are. Looking forward to sharing this day with you!
Ashley Starks
Bridesmaid
My lovely cousin Ashley! Truly you are one of the kindest hearts I have ever met. There is no one quite like you, and I am so thankful we are in each other's lives. You have been there since the very beginning moments of my life, and we have had a beautiful childhood together. I don't remember because we were just babies, but Grandma sat on us, and I've always loved hearing that story and sharing that experience with you!! Without a doubt, you'll be next to me on this beautiful day.
Storm McCurdy
Bridesmaid
My lovely twinny! Ever since we were kids we have shared an inseparable bond. I have always loved your fiery spunky spirit and how we naturally balance each other out! You are the yin to my yang, the peanut butter to my jelly, this is why we are twins! I have loved watching you become the wonderful person and mother that you are, and all the moments that come with. So excited to share this day with you!
Heather Ferris
Bridesmaid
My bestie as well as soul sister! From day one, we hit it off so well, and I thought you were such a badass person, wife, and mother! You are fierce about your family, and I am so happy to be a part of your crew! You continue to inspire me, and I can't wait to share this memory with you!
Marissa DeMarco
Bridesmaid
My first true friend, my sister, and best friend! Me and Mo go waaaaaay back! I remember your spunk and silly-nature all the way from 2nd grade at Ridgepoint! We proclaimed our sisterhood at such a young age. We lost each other for a while as late teens, but we found our way back. I love what we have and I love how you've always reminded me that we are family. Of course, you'll be there!
Alicia Figueroa
Bridesmaid
My wonderful friend whom has naturally become a sister to me! I am so thankful the universe brought us together. You have shown me so much strength and love over the years, and I can't wait to share this day with you. So many laughs, tears, and triumphs together!
Casey Pernett
Groomsman
Casey is such a homey. We have a certain understanding and have had lots of good times together from snowboarding as teenagers to endless table tennis rallies. It's not just games we connect through, we also have deep moments where we can really find one another in times of struggle. We have seemed to ride a similar track in life, now for example, we are both embarking on a very different and special chapter, family life! Very cool.
Andrew Reinhart
Groomsman
Andrew and I have friendship that has been aging beautifully from the 20th century. He has always shown up for me as a really good friend. I feel Andrews authentic care and encouragement for me and my new family. We have so many old memories we could go on for hours talking old times. If i ask for help he has got me every time without hesitation, its been some cash in rough times to even a rescue from the wilderness, well sorta. Huge appreciation is felt with our connection.
Spirit Beckley
Groomsman
I met Spirit in High School and we both gravitated to groups that hung out close to one another with some members being floaters amongst both. We both moved to Ventura from the same town and initially bonded over that. As years passed we deepened our friendship to a spiritual level and now are simply put, Brothers. Spirit is a feeler and is someone I know that could hold space for emotions. He has seen me go through chapters and vise versa yet we always know we can turn a page and bam there we are again on some new adventure.
Fredrik Lindegard
Groomsman
Fredrik and I go back to when we were Violets age. I feel extremely grateful for our deep bond. Fidde, as we call him in Sweden is a friend that I've experienced the ages with! We are now the both parents and it feels so fitting. Fun fact, Fredrik now has made a home next door to my childhood home in a magical small town called Hjuvik. He came all the way across the world to be here. That says it all. Thanks for being there for as long as I can remember Fidde.
Avery Burns
Groomsman
Avery is amongst that small first group of friends that i had following the move to Ventura triggered by my folks divorce. Those were tough times and having good friends probably did more than i realize. Avery was a good friend then and too the day! Avery is just as invested in the table tennis fascinations. We also have experienced festival life together and some to most of those experinces are impossible to explain. Most profound in many ways. Watching Avery play innocent social experiments on random subjects has been a highlight.
Violet Maureen
Flower Girl
My darling Violet, Your presence alone has truly brought great change to my life in all the best ways! You have always been so true to yourself and the wonderful little person that you are, simply one of a kind! You are so funny and I cherish the moments we laugh out loud together! I am so thrilled to have shared a deep bond with you, and now watch you create those lasting bonds with Eliyah (Papa) and Clover! Seeing you become a big sister has been magical! We will have so much fun on this lovely day, I know you can't wait!
Clover Anna Simone
Flower Girl
My dear sweet Clover! You have brought so much love and happiness to our lives. Your smile is so genuine and heartwarming, it is truly a gift! Watching you grow and learn the first happenings of life has been such a beautiful blessing. The bond you and your sister Violet share is so precious to see forming! We'll take plenty of pictures, so you can look back on this day years from now.
Marlei Reighn
Ring Bearer
My lovely first niece Marlei! You were born 9 years ago now and it's still hard to believe you are growing so quickly! As the first baby on my side of the family and now the oldest of all the cousins, you will always hold a special place in my heart. I love your creative mind, daring bravery, and playful nature! I look forward to sharing the day with you!
Maaz Avari
Ring Bearer
My handsome little King! Maaz you are the first and only boy of this generation on my side, the girl cousins won't ever let you forget it I'm sure! Seeing you begin the first moments of life have been so beautiful. I have immense unconditional love for you, it's crazy we haven't even met, I feel like I know your heart already! You have some wonderful big cousins that you'll be here for and grow up with, you all are so lucky! I look forward to our memories shared especially this one!
Opal Ivy

Little sweet Opie!! Opal you are a huge bundle of joy! You fall right in place with your sister and your cousins at being the life of the party! Uncle Eliyah has been there since before you were born, and now we see the lovely bond that you both have! Watching you become a big cousin has been the sweetest thing! I can't wait to look back on this day with you!
