Wedding Party

Melissa Chilidonia

Mother of the Bride

Her heart, soul, and superwoman behind the bride! 💖 With her boundless love, unwavering support, and unstoppable passion, She has shaped me into the person I am today. She’s not only my mom, but my role model, biggest cheerleader, and best friend. From every laugh-filled planning session to late-night heart-to-hearts, she’s been by my side every step of the way. I couldn’t be more honored (or more excited!) to have her walk me down the aisle. This day wouldn’t be complete without her.

Father of the Groom

Steffanie Gross

Matron of Honor

Steff and I go way back—like, middle school choir buddy back. We met in 6-7th grade and have been the Yin to my Yang ever since (sparkles, sass, and a little bit of chaos included). Through every wild idea, over-the-top plan, and spontaneous life pivot, Steff has been my biggest cheerleader, voice of reason, and ride-or-die. She’s the planner of all planners the one with the color-coded spreadsheets, the backup dress tape, and probably a granola bar in her purse just in case. Basically, if this wedding runs smoothly, you can thank her! Steff’s loyalty, love, and heart of gold have made her more than a best friend she’s family. I couldn’t imagine this day without her standing by my side (likely with tissues, snacks, and a flawless pep talk ready to go)

Martha Cruz

Best Woman

Cythina

Bridesmaid

Cynthia and I met through AOII and instantly bonded over our shared love of late-night snacks and spontaneous chaos. She’s the ultimate adventure buddy always down for anything from last-minute road trips to questionable dance moves at 2 a.m. She’s kind, hilarious, and guaranteed to bring the good vibes wherever she goes. Just don’t expect her to be on time.....ever. Cynbot runs on her own magical time zone, and honestly, we wouldn’t have it any other way. Kind-hearted, endlessly fun, and the life of every party, I’m so lucky to have her by my side (even if she might show up five minutes after the ceremony starts 😘)

Octavio Cruz

Groomsman

What can I say about Tavo? He’s been my ride-or-die since day one from pulling childhood pranks and wrenching on cars, to (let’s be honest) letting me boss him around a little too often. 😎 With the biggest heart and the most loyal soul, Tavo is more than just my baby brother he’s my lifelong teammate. We’ve laughed, we’ve cruised, and we’ve tackled life side by side. We are (and always will be) the Cruzin’ Cruzs, and I couldn’t imagine standing at the altar without him by my side

Jessica

Bridesmaid

The life of the party, look no further than Jessica! She’s the ultimate girls’ girl the kind of friend who will tailgate with you ‘til sunset, scream every word at a country concert, and still have your back when things get real. She’s always there with the best advice, and a cold drink in hand. Need a hype squad? She is the hype squad. Need a laugh? She’s got you. Need a Big Truck? She got the highest! Jessica brings the energy, the loyalty, and the love every single time. love her to pieces and feel so lucky to have her dancing by my side (boots and all!) on this special day. 🤍

Dustin Lundberg

Bridesman

Dustin and I met back in high school, and over the years, he’s become the brother I always wished for. He’s down for every crazy idea I throw his way, always up for an adventure, and somehow manages to keep me grounded and hyped at the same time. Dustin is always there no questions asked, no judgment, just full-on support and love. Oh, and did I mention he literally saved my life? Yeah, he’s that kind of legend. (literally he’s that guy). He’s full of energy, full of laughs, and full of heart. He's hilarious, calm energy, always a good time, and truly one of the most loyal friends I’ve ever known. Having him by my side on this day means the world to me.

Groomsman

Nicole

Bridesmaid

Nicole and I go way back like juice boxes and recess back. We've been best friends since 1st grade, and no matter where life takes us or how much time passes, the moment we’re back together, it’s like nothing’s changed. We instantly turn into our younger selves laughing, reminiscing, and picking up right where we left off. Nicole’s infectious love for life (and seriously amazing taste in music) makes her one-of-a-kind. She’s the kind of friend who brings light wherever she goes, and her loyalty runs deep. Through every stage of growing up and all the chaos in between she’s been a constant, a comfort, and a forever friend. Couldn't imagine this day with out her. I’m beyond grateful to have her standing by my side on this special day. Love you always, Nicole! 💖

Patrick Chilidonia

Father of the Bride

Though he won’t be physically with us on this special day, his presence will be felt in every moment. Taken from us far too soon, he remains forever in our hearts his love, his strength, and that unforgettable, belly-shaking laugh will echo in the air as we celebrate. I carry him with me always, and especially as I walk down the aisle. I know he’s watching over us with pride, joy, and his signature smile. I love you, Daddy and I know you're here in spirit, celebrating right alongside us.
