Maria & Gavin
Wedding Party
Marie Kneemeyer
Maid of Honor
In 2010, Maria and Marie were fast friends when they met in college. Once moving in together off-campus, they became best friends and soul sisters. Their shared love for art, personal growth, sustainability, and quoting lines from "She's The Man" bind them together to this day. It's pretty *schveet*.
John O'Sullivan
Best Man
John and Gavin have known each other since elementary school. Growing up, they were up to all kinds of shenanigans, including inventing the sport of "fire tennis," patent pending. Gavin can't imagine having anyone else stand beside him as Best Man.
Janice Perez de Forero
Matron of Honor
Janice is Maria's older cousin, but growing up Janice was more like a big sister. Janice lives in Bogota, Colombia with her husband Dani who is also in the wedding party as a groomsman. The two couples have grown close through the years, and are so excited to all officially become family!
Dani Forero
Groomsman
Years ago, Maria's cousin Janice came to California for Christmas and brought Dani to meet the family. Gavin and Dani hit it off right away, and they spent the rest of the vacation making each other crack up. The two couples have been close ever since, and are so excited to be officially family!
Haley Cahill
Bridesmaid
As one of Gavin's younger sisters, Haley met Maria after Gavin started bringing her home for family dinners. They got along right away, and through the years have formed a special bond. Maria is so excited to have a new sister!
Ivan Perez
Groomsman
Ivan is Maria's cousin, and has always been like a big brother to her. When Gavin met Ivan they immediately were as thick as thieves. They love talking about chorizo and eating copious amounts of food together.
MacKenzie Cahill
Bridesmaid
MacKenzie met Maria when she came back home from college for the holidays. They quickly hit it off and have also grown a really special bond. Another sister to add to the family!
Darren Orloff
Groomsman
Darren and Gavin met through mutual friends many years ago. He was actually the host of the St. Patrick's Day party where Gavin and Maria first met. With Maria and his girlfriend Marie being best friends, Gavin and Darren have spent a lot of time together the past few years. They have so much fun together whenever they're in the same room!
Layla Garcia
Bridesmaid
As Maria's little cousin, we are honored to have Layla stand at the altar with us. Layla and Maria always have fun together and share a special bond.
Anthony Lopez
Groomsman
There is no one that keeps up with Gavin's hysterical hypotheticals quite like Anthony, who we refer to as Lopez. When Gavin, Lopez, and Darren are all in the same room, you will definitely hear a lot of laughing.
Leticia Ruiz
In Memoriam
Dear Leti, I always imagined you being up at the altar with us. Losing you so suddenly is a heartbreak we will forever carry, but we will also carry your light with us wherever we go. We know you will be there in spirit, nena. We miss you and we love you. Love, Lale
