Brittany & Ron
Wedding Party
Brandon Ponciano
Best Man
Brandon I have been best friends for almost 20 years. We have more memories and stupid inside jokes than can possibly fit on this web page. Ever since we met in the 4th grade, almost every memory of an event or outing includes Brandon. From late-night Playstation binges as elementary school kids, to starting a crappy pop-punk band in high school, to drunken nights as 27-year-olds, we've quite literally grown up together. I wouldn't have anyone else as the best man at my wedding.
Alana Sordello
Bridesmaid
Alana is my confidant, the one I plan parties with, and the one I can laugh for hours on end with. She is incredibly caring and will do anything for her friends. We share clothes, dress the same without planning it, and she will always let me take blonde pictures with her.
Neema Bahr
Groomsman
Neema is one of the most loyal people I have ever met, and I'm extremely lucky to call him a friend. We met each other in 2012, but I've always thought it seems like we've known each other for much longer than that. Neema always gets the plan in motion, and is always down to make the effort to hang out. He dragged me to my first Outside Lands in 2015, and I'll always be thankful for him showing me that experience. He is my favorite golf partner, an honor I don't bestow on just anyone. Neema is always there when you need him, and I'm honored to have him as a groomsman.
Brenna Glesson
Bridesmaid
My soon-to-be sister. I am so lucky to have such an amazing person added to my family. Brenna is the best shopping partner and person to gang up on Ron with. She is also my wedding planning sounding board since there is less than a year between our weddings!
Chris Wackerman
Groomsman
I met Chris around the same time I met Neema, while they worked with Brandon at Village Host Pizza in Burlingame. His easy-going personality is very much like mine, so it goes without saying Chris quickly became a good and loyal friend. My best memories with Chris center around our most beloved common interest: the Giants. Between games at AT&T Park, Spring Training trips in Scottsdale, hanging out in McCovey Cove and World Series parades on Market St., I have shared some of my favorite Giants memories with Chris.
Michelle Simpson
Bridesmaid
Michelle was one of my first friends in college and we were immediately attached at the hip. From fraternity parties to trips around the world, and everything in between, she has been there. Michelle is adventerous, driven, and the life of the party. Even though I don't see her that often, when I do, we fall back into the same rhythm. We have countless memories together and she is a friend that has turned into family.
Jeff Cianci
Groomsman
Without meeting Jeff in college, there is no Brittany and me. Jeff and I met each other in the Spartan Daily newsroom at SJSU in 2011, and we quickly bonded over our love for journalism, the Giants and Flames happy hour. We both served as the Executive Editor of the Spartan Daily, and I had the unique opportunity to train Jeff for the position as my tenure was coming to an end. From Green Day concerts to Giants games and trips to various breweries, I can easily call Jeff one of the best friends I made at SJSU. Not only am I lucky to have him as a great friend, but as someone who helped introduce me to my future wife.
Nicole Erickson
Bridesmaid
Nikki is one of the most passionate, spontaneous and adventurous people I know. She is my confidant, ally, and the person I can sing Good Charlotte at the top of my lungs with. I am so glad I get to call her my sister. Through the good times and bad, I know that she will always have my back.
Joel Lacey
Groomsman
I have known Joel since we attended the same catechism classes in middle school. We somehow met and not long after were setting off stink bombs in the back of class. When Joel decided to come to Mills High School from Burlingame, I immediately recognized him and we have been friends ever since. Joel has always been a friend I could count on to make time to hang out -- even if he would constantly try to make me listen to obscure metal music. Joel has been a loyal friend for many years, and I'm lucky to call him a groomsman.
Olivia Maldonado
Bridesmaid
Olivia and I see each other almost every day and now I don't think I could make it through a day without talking to her. We're neighbors, gym partners, scary movie buddies, online shopping enthusiasts. She is the person I can go to with any job advice, vent about life with and always has the best podcast recommendations.
Randolph Cabrera
Groomsman
Randolph and I were roommates during our freshman year of college -- definitely one of the best years of my life. Randolph was a big reason why. Many of the memories I have from that year (which I probably should not share with everyone) include Randolph. We lived together for two more after freshman year and continued to build memories I'll never forget. Randolph was my beer pong partner (we were unbeatable), and the first person I hugged after the Giants won their first World Series in 2010. I did a lot of growing up in college, a lot of it was with Randolph.
Stephanie O'Dowd
Bridesmaid
The matchmaker. Stephanie is the reason Ron and I met and I am so lucky to have her in my life. She is crazy (in the best way) and the person I can always count on. She is also always down to take a shot with me (as long as it's Fireball).
