Kassi Rodriguez
Maid of Honor
Kassi and I grew up next door from each other. It was really nice to have a really great friend that lived that close.

She lives with Michael and I, we are so happy to have her as a housemate!

Melissa Dittrich

Melissa and I met in our later high school years, and she is a wonderful human being and friend. I learned American Sign Language (ASL) so we could be the best of friends! Still rusty on my ASL but we manage to get by! I love melissa, she brings much joy to my life and I love our little family/friends we have. So blessed to have Melissa in my life! Love you Mel!!!
Chelsea Brown
Bridesmaid
I met Chelsea not long after Michael and I started dating, at a new years party. The party where Duncan, Chelsea's boyfriend later down the road, took Michael's keys as a prank and then forgot that he took them at all, after we left in my car. We had to drive back to the house at 1am in the morning to get them. Chelsea is super sweet, full of life, and an amazing friend. Love you so much Chelsea, so blessed to have you in our lives.
Joe Ortiz
Best Man
Joe is Michael's younger brother and bestest friend. They grew up sharing a room together. Joe and Gina named Michael godfather to their first born son, Joseph Jr. Michael and Joe are super close and love spending time together.
Chris Ortiz
Groomsman
Michael's older brother, Chris, is a neat guy. He is super helpful when we need maintenance on our vehicles. We love spending time with him. Glad he is one of Michael's groomsman.
David Jr. Ortiz
Groomsman
Michael's brother always has funny jokes or comments to share. He is always been a brother for Michael to look up to and go to when help was needed. David Jr has a big heart and a big sense of humor.
Garrett Nichols
Groomsman
Michael met Garrett when he got a job working for the California State Parks, in Santa Cruz. Little did he know that Garrett and I were friends in high school. Michael was searching through Garretts Facebook one day and found my profile. Michael added me and we then saw each other the next day with Garrett at Sign Language Night. So we have Garrett's facebook page to thank for Michael and I coming together. Garrett and Michael are just like brothers! They are very similar and have the same kind of personalities.
Duncan Lindberg
Groomsman
Michael's best friend from way back in the day, back when the bowl haircuts were in style. Michael had a brown bowl cut and Duncan had a ginger bowl cut. These two has shared many laughs together, and been at each others side through thick and thin.
