The Life of the Party

"The rise or fall, success or failure of your dreams is largely dependent on the association you build yourself around." We have been so lucky to be surrounded by amazing friends we call family and dear family we call friends. Meet our Love Gang, the group of hooligans who will be tearing up that dance floor and crying through speeches.

Frankie

Bridesmaid

The 9th and most beloved bridesmaid, Frankie Paige Cablayan, was Carli's 4 legged best friend for nearly 10yrs. Rescued in Flagstaff Arizona, Frankie and Carli spent countless adventures on trails, mountain passes, and meadows across 5 different states before they came home to California and ultimately met Gabe. Not long after their introduction, Gabe was won over by Frankie's big head, love for ball hockey, and snoozy morning cuddles. She quickly made him into the ultimate dog dad and a piece which the girls never knew their family was missing was finally complete. Sadly Frankie passed away in September 2021, leaving behind a legacy of love, as a true ambassador for her breed. Although she will not physically be there we hope to honor her memory and know she would never miss the big day.
