Wedding Party

Megan Genove

Maid of Honor

Megan is Melissa's little sister, best friend, (taller) mini me, and confidant. They met when Megan was born. After years of being sisters who fought over toys and then clothes, their relationship evolved and they would eventually backpack through Europe twice together and become the best of friends.

Austin Baker

Best Man

Austin is one of Adam's oldest friends and more aptly known as his brother from another mother. They met in Kindergarten after Austin took Adam's swing. It has been nothing but smooth sailing ever since. They have spent countless summers together, dozens of beach vacations, and a lifetime of late nights staying up playing video games. Even though Austin is in grad school 2,500 miles away, they are still as close as ever.

Rachel Todd

Bridesmaid

Rachel is Adam's little sister. Melissa and Rachel share a love for fitness and health. They have also traveled to Sweden, Hungary, Czech Republic, Italy, Zion National Park, and Bryce National Park together. Melissa considers herself super lucky to have such a kind, caring, and fun sister-in-law. She has always wanted another sister and is thrilled this childhood wish is finally coming true through Rachel!

Mervin Genove

Groomsman

Adam is lucky to call Mervin his soon to be brother-in-law. They first met over family dinner 3 years ago and have been friends ever since. Mervin is a kind, selfless human being and someone Adam can't wait to call family.

Nicole Vongchanglor

Bridesmaid

Nicole and Melissa met in high school and one of Melissa's oldest and closest friends. They both went to the same undergraduate university and would eventually both move to Los Angeles for grad school. Melissa considers Nicole like one of her sisters. No matter how much time has passed since their last conversation, they seem to always pick up where they left off. This day would not be complete without her.

Tony Galati

Groomsman

Tony is Adam's uncle and his life long friend. When Adam finally decided he was ready to marry Melissa, Tony was the first person he told. Over the years their bond has only grown stronger since Adam moved down to Tony's neighborhood, the South Bay. He is a kind hearted man and someone Adam will forever look up to as a role model.

Lauren Reyes

Bridesmaid

Lauren was Melissa's first running friend in Los Angeles. They spent much of their time the past few years drinking wine out of coffee mugs, and staying in when they planned to go out. Though they met through running, Melissa considers Lauren one of her closest friends in LA and one of the few people she can talk to and connect with about anything.

Blaine Cline

Groomsman

Blaine and Adam met Freshman year of college as dormmates at ASU. Over the years they've lived together three separate times spanning Arizona and California. They have been on countless adventures together over the years and have become the best of friends in the process.

Jamaica King

Bridesmaid

Jamaica is Melissa's business partner, close friend, and forever travel buddy. These two have survived marathons and hours of road trips together, always coming out stronger and closer. Melissa feels lucky to have found someone like Jamaica who makes LA feel like home.

Francis Pollara

Groomsman

Francis and Adam met while attending Junior High in La Canada, CA. They knew of each other but it wasn't until Adam's moved back to Los Angeles after college where their bromance really took off. They spent years together attending social events, networking sessions, brainstorming sessions, and are now well on their way going into business together. From a lasting friendship to business partners, their bond goes deep.

Lisa Lacayo

Bridesmaid

Melissa met Lisa many years ago. Over the years, they ran into each other multiple times but really became close after they realized they lived close to one another and started running together. Together they have ran many "runcations" together -- everywhere from Vancouver to Paris. But more than that, even though they don't know each other from childhood, Melissa feels that she and Lisa grew up together in their adulthood -- often times talking to one another through this thing called life.

Sunny Khanna

Groomsman

Sunny and Adam met Freshman year of college living on the same floor in their dorm. They struggled through Thursday night Accounting homework together which was just the start of their lifelong friendship. After college they live together in Arizona and were practically inseparable. They've done everything from late nights out on the town in Scottsdale to weekend camping trips in Yosemite, and everything in between.

Patti Tu

Bridesmaid

Patti is one of Melissa's close friends. They met a few years ago, you guessed it, running. There was a time when Patti and Melissa would spend every single day together -- working out and morning and night and eating Hot Cheetos during the day. Patti and her boyfriend have gone on multiple double dates with Adam and Melissa and Melissa feels like her relationship with Adam would not have been the same without these two. Even though Patti has moved a few times over the years, their relationship seems to have no gaps in between, and Melissa can't imagine not sharing this day without Patti!

Alex Martinian

Groomsman

Alex and Adam meet in elementary school at John Wooden summer basketball camp. They made it to the one-on-one finals together where Alex bested Adam in 15 point match. Luckily Adam doesn't hold a grudge and is lucky to have Alex as one of his groomsman 15 years later. They lost touch for a bit during college but rekindled their friendship when Alex moved back to Los Angeles. These days, they work just a few blocks from each other so weekend gettogethers, weekday lunches, and Orange Theory classes are the norm.

Matt and Becca Barrena

Cord Sponsors

Matt and Becca are close friends of Adam and Melissa. They share their love for hiking, fishing, and country music, but most importantly Adam and Melissa admire how these two love and respect one another. Since the Cord is a symbol of the couple's bond; that indeed they are no longer two but one in their new life as a couple they see Matt and Becca as the perfect fit for this momentous part of the ceremony.

Gabe Watson and Lindsey Sheren

Veil Sponsors

Lindsey and Gabe and two of Melissa and Adam's favorites. They all share a love for travel and country music. Throughout the years, Melissa and Adam have looked to these two as an example of what a good relationship is. Since the Catholic veil ceremony symbolizes two individuals bonded and recognized as one, Lindsey and Gabe are naturally the best couple for the job.
