Eddie & Dillon would be lost without Destinie as not only has she accepted being the officiant for the wedding but has also been involved in the beautiful wedding invites everyone received. Eddie has known Destinie for over 12yrs & is so glad to have her in his life. They both share the common interest of being creative, traveling & enjoying life to the fullest. Both grooms are extremely excited to have Destinie lead the way in officially tying the knot, we couldn’t have thought of the more perfect person.
Crystal Hoelscher

Walking Dillon down the aisle will be his number one. His mom has been there for him through thick and thin. Dillon and Eddie are incredibly lucky to have a mom/mother-in-law like Crystal. They’re very thankful for Crystal and Scott’s (step dad) contribution to making this wedding happen! Dillon loves his mom so much and can’t think of a better person to walk the aisle with him as he makes a commitment for a lifetime.
Maria Montalvo

Eddie is incredibly honored to walk down the aisle with his mother as he makes a commitment of a lifetime & couldn’t have chosen any other person to share that special moment with. Maria is known as a humble and amazing mother to her 7 kids she raised on her own. She’s also know for the amazing food she cooks, don’t be surprised if she invites you over for dinner. As a child, Eddie remembers listening to a lot of music with his mom one of which is La Paquita la del Barrio “Rata de dos patas”which they now share a bond over. Both Eddie & Dillon are incredibly excited to have Maria attend this special day.

Kim

Kim & Eddie met in Phoenix at the bank they both worked at & have since been friends for over 10yrs. During that time, Eddie really looked up to Kim as she was such a detail oriented leader & hard worker. They bonded over music, jokes & everything you can imagine. Even when Eddie left Phoenix, Kim would visit in San Francisco. One of Eddie’s favorite memories with Kim was going out dancing & they both danced so much that Kim’s heal broke but that didn’t stop them. She slipped those heals right off & continued dancing the night away. Eddie & Dillon are so proud to have Kim be a part of this special day!
