Brandon Pereira
Best Man
The Legend Behind the Groom Introducing the man who’s seen it all, He has been the groom’s partner-in-crime, adventure buddy, & the unofficial keeper of all the wild stories we might hear in the speeches. He’s the guy who knows where all the skeletons are buried & how to make sure they stay there. Q - What would be your advice for the groom on his big day? A - First and foremost, take a deep breath and lean into the Lord today. He’s got you my brother, and he’s the ultimate wingman! Trust in him to carry you through the nerves, the joy, and that exact moment you see your wifey and your brain forgets how to brain. Second, soak in the day and cherish every little moment! Look around at your bride, your family, & us groomsmen - your little gang of misfits who have your back through thick and thin. We’re not just here to make sure everything goes as smooth as possible or even make sure your tie’s straight (though, let’s be real, I’m nailing that). We’re your brothers, ready to cheer you on, pray for you, and maybe roast you a little at the reception. Lean on us, today and always. Finally, have some fun brother! Dance like nobody’s watching (even though we all are), kiss your bride every chance you get, and maybe sneak in that second slice of cake. You’re not just marrying the love of your life, you’re kicking off a lifelong adventure with an absolute angel, with God as your guide and your boys in your corner. We love you brother and go make this day legendary.

Ethan Keet
Groomsman
The ultimate web-slinger of the groomsmen crew! When he’s not channeling his inner Spider-Man, he’s busy being an amazing friend to the bride & groom, ready to swing into action whenever needed. With great power comes great responsibility, and he takes his duties seriously, whether it’s keeping the groom calm or making sure the bachelor party is one for the history books. Known for his quick wit, loyalty, and love for all things superhero, he is always there to save the day (and maybe show off a few Spidey dance moves at the reception). The only thing he’s more excited about than the wedding? Seeing his friends get married. Just call him the friendly neighborhood groomsman! Q - What's the perfect Superhero quote you would give to the bride and groom to get them through their special day? A - when you look in her eyes, and she looks back in yours, everything feels not quite normal, because you feel strong—and weak at the same time. You feel excited, and at the same time terrified. The truth is you don't know the way you feel, except you know the kind of man you want to be. It's as if you've reached the unreachable, and you weren't ready for it- Peter Parker
Taryn Keet
Bridesmaid
The bride’s fellow Swiftie and soulmate in all things Taylor Swift! From screaming the lyrics to “Love Story” at concerts to crafting the perfect playlist for the big day, she has been there for every “Fearless” moment. Her friendship with the bride is like a track straight off 1989—filled with laughter, unforgettable memories, and way too many inside jokes (most of them Taylor-related, of course). When she’s not helping the bride plan or talking about the latest Midnights release, you can bet she’ll be front and center, shaking it off on the dance floor. With a heart as big as her Swiftie playlist, she is beyond excited to be standing by her bestie’s side as she begins her greatest love story yet. Let the love songs begin! Q - If you could name a Taylor Swift song that best represents the bride and grooms' relationship, what would it be? A - I chose Daylight by Taylor Swift because it beautifully captures the journey of love—both before you met and the moment your hearts found each other. I wish you nothing but a golden kind of love, one that shines brightly and grows deeper with time. The beauty of your love is how clearly it reflects in each of you. As the song says, “I once believed love would be burning red, but it's golden, like daylight.” May your love always feel like that—warm, steady, and full of light. 💛

Whether it’s sneaking in an unexpected toast, or getting everyone on the dance floor, He is all about good vibes and unforgettable moments. Just be prepared—if you’re sitting next to him, there’s no telling what kind of fun (or trouble) he might stir up! But one thing’s for sure: the wedding wouldn’t be the same without his infectious energy and playful spirit. Let the good times roll! Also, if you see Ashley and the groom looking at Ashleys phone with great stress and confusion, don't stress, the groom is helping him make changes to his FPL team. Also, if you see this man don't forget to say "CAN YOU FEEL IT...YEBOOOO" Q - What would the grooms hype song be the morning of the wedding day? A - Freed from Desire
Sherry Caldeira
Bridesmaid
What started as dating the groom’s best man quickly turned into a family bond that no one saw coming! From the start, she has been the groom’s honorary “sister”, but over the years, she’s become so much more a true sister to both the bride and groom, and a gift to their lives. To the bride, she’s been like an angel, appearing at just the right time, bringing the kind of friendship and support she never knew she needed or thought was possible, but now can’t imagine life without. Her infectious laughter, radiant warmth, and steady presence have made her an irreplaceable part of their journey. She has the rare ability to keep everyone grounded, while still knowing exactly when to bring the fun and lift every moment. Whether she’s offering heartfelt advice, sharing in the chaos of wedding planning, or simply being there with a comforting word or a good laugh, she has shown over and over again that she’s more than just a friend she’s family. The bride and groom couldn't imagine their big day without her standing beside them, celebrating not just their love, but the beautiful bond they now all share. Q - If you could describe the bride in 3 words, what would they be? A - Selfless, gracious and angel

Daniel Kotze
Groomsman
Every groom needs a groomsman who keeps it real. He’s the guy who’ll give you the brutal truth before you even finish asking the question and somehow, you’ll thank him for it. He's basically a real-life Black Lotus: rare, powerful, and occasionally confusing to non-nerds. He’s got a brain full of facts, opinions, and obscure trivia (seriously, don’t challenge him), and a dry sense of humor that sneaks up on you when you least expect it. He's equal parts wise, weird, and wonderful—basically, the kind of friend who makes life smarter and a whole lot funnier. I wouldn’t have this day without him by my side, because every groom needs a legendary card in his deck. Q - If you could describe the groom in three words, what would they be? A - Empathetic, loyal, Fun/Joy to be around
Adely Garnett - Bennett
Bridesmaid
She's loving, one-of-a-kind, and has a heart bigger than most countries. She’s the type of person who shows up for you without question, makes everyone feel seen and valued, and will have you in stitches laughing one minute and feeling deeply supported the next. And a fair warning: do not play 30 Seconds with her — not unless you're ready to lose spectacularly (but at least you'll be laughing the whole time). I truly couldn’t imagine this day without her. She’s been a rock, cheerleader and constant source of love and laughter, having her by the bride's side means more than words can say. Grateful doesn’t even begin to cover it. Q - What is one thing you think the bride will be like as a wife? A - As a wife, she’ll be the kind who loves fiercely, laughs often, always has Taylor Swift playing in the background, and keeps her husband strong in himself and in God’s love and purpose.
Aliyah Grace Farinha
Flower Girl
Our Lillie, Don’t let her size fool you, she's full of sass, sparkle, and the biggest heart you’ve ever seen. Beautiful inside and out, she’s got a twinkle in her eye, a skip in her step, and enough love to fill the whole room. Whether she’s striking a pose, giving the best hugs, or charming everyone she meets, she brings joy wherever she goes. We’re so lucky to have her as our flower girl, she’s going to steal the show (and probably our hearts all over again!) Q- If you could pick a song for the bride to walk down the aisle to, what would it be? A- APT by Bruno Mars ft Rose
Alonzo Cruz Farinha
Ring Bearer
Our little Lonzi, He's all energy, giggles, and a whole lot of personality! He’s your typical boy — into soccer, always on the move, and somehow managing to be rough, tough, and incredibly sweet all at the same time. One minute he's making us laugh with his silly antics, the next he’s melting our hearts with a big hug and a sloppy open mouth kiss. He’s full of love (and mischief!), and we wouldn’t have our big day without him leading the way — hopefully in one piece!
Jack Preston
Ring Bearer
Our Jack Pack! Walking side-by-side with his fellow ring bearer, Lonzi, He is our joyful, big-hearted little guy who’s sure to steal the show and maybe a few snacks after the ceremony. With a smile that melts hearts and a laugh that’s unintentionally hilarious, he’s bursting with energy, full of love, and always ready to bring the fun. He’s the kind of kid who lights up every room (and sometimes bounces off the walls), and while he has a major sweet tooth, we promise to save the sugar until after he gets those rings down the aisle! Q - If someone would try and steal the rings on the wedding day what would you do? A- He's going to trick them and say he’s going to fetch better rings for them and then run!
