Matron of Honor
My mom, mentor, best friend, travel buddy, and the woman I look up to. You have been there for me from day 1 and continue to be there for me everyday. My heart is so full. Thank you for supporting me and shaping me into the woman I am today. Thank you for loving me, keeping me safe, and making me laugh. Thank you for my siblings. Thank you for everything. I will forever cherish our memories and the lessons you have taught me through the years, because of you I will be a loving, supportive, and loyal wife to Griffen. I love you with all of my heart. Cherished memories: Getting ice cream in Japan (really wanted that green tea) even though it started POURING rain...we got SOAKED and almost peed our pants from laughing too hard...nothing out of the ordinary (pictured)! Almost crashing the car from laughing too hard. Oh, or getting lost in Croatia and you struggling to open the door... deja vu in New York!
Bridesmaid
My sister, best friend, spider killer, dance partner, sleepover companion, and inspiration. I am tearing up as I write this... Jordie, you changed my life. You already know all of this already but I always wanted a sister and I got the best one out there! When I saw you for the first time at the front door, it was meant to be. I felt a rush of love and happiness. It was like I had known you forever (technically I did because you're my Penelope). When we hugged for the first time, I didn't want to let go. I feel honored to be your little sister. I appreciate your unconditional love, your willingness to help everything and everyone, your guidance, your authenticity, and your patience. Cherished Memories: Dancing to "Hotel Motel" and "Dancing Queen" in the living room on the couches and table! Also, love our Disney movie nights and our car adventures (Alaska and you learning how to drive manual).
Bridesman
My brother, my twin, my therapist, my sushi partner, and one of the bright lights of our family. What would my life be like without you in it? Really boring... You always have a way in making everyone around you smile or laugh. I try and be like you, however, I am just not that funny! Thank you for always lending a listening ear and for giving me advice when I get stuck. I am so grateful you moved to California when you did and showed me what it was like to have a sibling. I will always remember you shooting a pretend bow and arrow at me, tackling me, having dance parties, and the pranks we... well mainly I...did to each other (like nailing your boxers to the wall, putting glitter on your pillow, etc.). Cherished Memories: Remember when you taught me how to drive? I was only 8 or 9 when I learned how to reverse out of a driveway... by myself. That was an eventful day when mom had to jump through the window to save me! You didn't do such a great job though because I continue to have trouble with driveways (evidence currently displayed on my car). You also taught me my dance moves!
Bridesman
My brother, my best friend, my night owl buddy, and my adventurous companion. Right when you came into my life, I knew you'd be my brother in no time. I loved you from day 1! I was so excited knowing I'd have another brother to tease me, guide me, and protect me. What I loved most about growing up with you was our late night talks about life. I could open up to you about anything and I'd know you'd be there to listen and support me. I was also stoked to have a brother near my age so we could party it up together (however you didn't like that when we were younger haha). Thank you for always being there for me and for loving me. I am proud to have you as my brother. A loving, caring, thoughtful, and selfless person. I look up to you in so many ways and I am looking forward to having more long talks and adventures with you. Cherished Memory: Sitting on the floor in front of the garage talking to each other for hours. Or maybe when I put the cups in the fence before your football practice so all of the guys could make fun of you! Or singing "What I got" and "Paper planes" in the car everywhere.

My brother, my supporter, and my long-distance companion. When I was little, I always wanted to be by your side. Following you around and attached to your hip, even when you tried to have your personal space, you’d turn around and BAM I’d be right there. Although you are in another country, every time we see each other is like no time has past. I continue to attach to your hip as much as I can before I have to say bye to you again. I am so glad that my eldest brother enjoys spending time with me (now that we’re older haha). I wish I could see you more often and that we lived in the same country, but know that I think of you often and I feel just as close to you as I do with our other siblings who’ve seen me more often. Distance can’t break our sibling bond and I know if I needed you, you’d be there for me. Cherished memories: Looking at the stunning views of the Swiss alps through the window, our deep talks about life, and going against Mom’s rules and taking me on a motor bike for the first time!
Best Man
Not only is Conner my older brother, but he is my best friend. We have been around each other through the good, the bad, and the great. I can always count on him being there for me when I need, and I know he'll be there for both Jayd and me throughout our marriage. Conner is passionate and family oriented. He may be stubborn and has a big head (literally), but he's extremely knowledgeable and a great mentor through life.
Groomsman
Matt and I have been friends since Jr. High. I've known Matt the longest out of all of my friends. Matt has always been the friend that I can go to whenever I need to talk, especially when sitting in traffic because we both have messed up work hours and need to kill time. If you want a delicious cocktail, Matt will get you squared away with the best drink you've ever had.

Brandon is Mr. Jack of all trades and master of anything you put in front of him. If you're ever in need of a good laugh or just a great Elvis impersonation, this is the guy. I've known Brando for years and not only are we friends, but we used to be coworkers as well. Those were short lived, but great memories. I couldn't be happier to have him in my corner.
Groomsman
Probably the most athletic one out of the bunch, Ryan is one of the nicest guys I know. That’s saying something because my friends are all extremely nice. Ryan, also being a high school friend, has been around for quite sometime. I can always count on Ryan being in a good mood and just wanting to have a good time. He’d be even better if he worked for Chevrolet instead of that silly German car company, porch, or however you say it.
Groomsman
Anselmo #2 and also very athletic. Great at looking like Alan Jackson and tries to sing like him too. Ryan's not so little brother, Cole, was introduced to me after hanging out with Ryan and the rest of the guys in high school. Cole is able to put a smile on everyone's face and liven up any room with his infectious laugh....Roll Tide....
Groomsman
The one and only Squid Fillon. The life of the party and professional dice thrower. You name a backyard BBQ game and I'll show you the consistent champ. I've also known Cody since high school. It's been a blast being around this guy for all of these years and I'm excited to see where the future takes him.

Ever since we formally met in 2019 in Austin, Texas, it's like we were long lost brothers. We technically met in Diamond Bar in 2018 at a car show, but fate would have it that we ran into each other accidentally in Texas. Marian will bend over backwards and then some to help out whenever there's a need. He likes race cars and loud noises and that's pretty rad. Thank God he likes country music now!
