Vanessa & Greg
Wedding Party
Keith Vogt
Best Man
Ever since you came out of the womb, I knew you'd be my best friend. Well, here we are two decades later and you're still my best man! That's what brothers are for. From playing tackle football in the living room, to countless vacations, to ridiculous nicknames, to supporting one another in times of struggle, I'm thankful for the life we've had growing up together...even though you beat me 50 games in a row in FIFA. (That is not a typo or exaggeration). Excited for all the good times to come!
Yasmina Colony
Maid of Honor
Maid of Honor and Bride at the same time...you are amazing! I love your fun adventurous spirit that never fails to have a good time (you are my spirit animal) and I love our double dates that are always a blast. Thank you for always having my back when I need support and always being available for "girl talk". You've become such a blessing in such a quick amount of time...I can't believe it took us so long, but none the less, I am so thankful! After you stand by me for our big day, it's you're turn! Woop woop! Can't wait to stand by your side as you tell your man "I Do" as well this year!
Sheriff Akanni
Groomsman
We met my senior year at the University of Arizona. Even in two years of knowing one another, you have quickly grown to be one of my closest friends and someone who I will have for life's entirety. You are a true blessing and one that I look up to. One of the purest and most genuine guys I know, and a charm that lights up any room you're in!
Sami Alaniz
Bridesmaid
Texas may have stolen you from us out here in Cali, but what I love is that no matter how long it's been, you're always the friend who can pick up right where we left off. As the most genuine and faithful girl I know, you've been an example for me in many areas of life and I have been blessed to say that you are one of my best friends. You are a friend I know I can always count on to keep me on the straight and narrow and remind me that nothing in this life is more important than our faith. Your friendship means the world to me.
Shane Bekian
Groomsman
From living down the hall in our fraternity to being college roommates senior year, our friendship has seen every ounce of good. I never thought we'd be this close when we first met, but glad to say I was wrong. The late night talks and our inside jokes will never get old. Love the loyalty you have for people, and it means the world that I can talk to you about anything.
Jenna Norris
Bridesmaid
Hands down the sweetest girl I know...I am lucky enough to know you. From traveling the country as choir junkies with 100+ other girls, becoming Wedding Coordinators in the same year of college while taking way too many classes, and going on endless beach trips together no matter the time of day...in other words, we have a tendency of loving the same things in life. I cherish that and I cherish you. I was lucky enough to stand by your side when you married the love of your life and now, I am thrilled to have you stand my me as well!
Connor Harmon
Groomsman
One of the greatest times of my life thus far was rooming together freshman year of college in the dorms. I never thought some random kid from Chicago would turn out to be one of my best friends. But I am sure glad that's how it turned out. You'll always be one of the central points to the college stories I tell my grand kids. And I'm glad that you were one of the first people to meet V while cruising!
Jessie Trail
Bridesmaid
Funny how sometimes the worst times in life can bring you the best people. Boy am I glad we crossed paths when we did! This friendship has been full of raw moments that will be forever cherished. You and me..we just get each other, and I love that. Your fun and oh so witty spirit is contagious and I don't know how I ever lived without it. Everyone needs a sassy Jessie in their life! Your sass has class and it’s pretty much my favorite thing ever.
Derek Hernandez
Groomsman
You came up to me asking what I was promoting for in the Sports Marketing Association. We connected and the rest was history. You have a vibe and positivity that I have never met in someone else. It always brightens my day. You know how to pump me up no matter the circumstance. Oh, and don't let me forget, you were the first person to ever meet Vanessa...even over me. Sure thankful you were on board that ship. Bon voyage!
Katie Bickerstaff
Bridesmaid
You are the free spirit I wish I could be, I love how much you "just don't care." Yet, you are one of the most generous and loving girls I know. Girl, any bridal party would be missing out without you in it! I was beyond excited to have you as a part of this big day and I can't wait to see all the fun we're about to have and all the memories we are yet to built together!
Jared Kleinberg
Groomsman
I've never met someone who gives themselves a nickname, and it actually sticks. A one-of-a-kind goofiness and a one-of-a-kind friend...you keep life interesting and our friendship fun. I always look forward to your phone calls...even if it's three times per day. You always have my back and I'm excited to go through life together as great friends.
Tia Zuleta
Bridesmaid
Meeting you and learning about our freakishly similar upbringings and our major obsession with Selena, I knew we were going to get along just fine. Hmmm...not to mention, we may also have similar taste in men.. Maybe one day we'll swap spots and you'll be the one in the white dress. (insert crossed fingers emoji here)
Hunter Podell
Groomsman
The oldest friendship I have...we've been through it all. Hometown boys and brothers for life. Glad to have you to crack jokes with, reminisce about old times and drop buckets on the hardwood. From 4th of July parties to joking about your Jew fro to working on business together...our past, present and future is great to say the least.
Paula Aranda
Bridesmaid
From 7th grade bus rides to and from school in our uniforms, eating Cheese-it's with Hot Cheetos and cream cheese, and having endless summer sleep overs with midnight swims in the pool to now being adults with full time jobs and not enough time in the day to see each other as often. You have been and always will be family to me. There is just no way I could ever get married without my sister by my side. Thank you for always being my family and never letting me walk through things alone.
Trevor Williams
Groomsman
From meeting you at the first wedding I've ever been to, to now having you stand by my side, we've had a heck of a ride so far. I look up to your dedication in your career and all the good you do for people out of your selfless heart. I love how we can talk fun, and about real life stuff in the same sitting. Looking forward to our endless double dates...and standing by your side in just a few months.
Haley Lyman
Bridesmaid
Interesting curve balls were thrown at us in order for this friendship to begin. But I would take those curve balls any day to gain what we have now! How did I ever live without our constant visits to random foreign food restaurants and your hysterical sarcasm? Our food adventures and talks are always the best. I have a feeling, you're going to make life forever fun.
