Wedding Party

Julia Karczewski

Lead Maid of Honor

Julia has been my tagalong since I was 5 years old and is the best gift my parents ever gave me- a little sister (even though she is 5 inches taller than me). She is a ball of joy, an expert bagel stealer, my biggest cheerleader, and always ready to break it down on the dance floor. I am so lucky to have her stand by my side on the big day.

Ricky Gangloff

Best Man

Ricky and I are 18 months apart and he has been my best friend since before I can remember. We have always done everything together- golfing, snowboarding, or playing pickup sports games in our driveway. I know he always has my back and he is, and always will be, Jacqueline and I’s permanent 3rd wheel. I love Ricky and am so happy that he will be standing right next to me at the aisle for my wedding.

Brooke Barbier

Maid of Honor

Brooke and I met right before we started high school (our Moms introduced us). We initially bonded over sappy RomComs and pop songs and she has been my best friend ever since. They say opposites attract and I believe Brooke and I are perfect complements to each other. She is my ying to my yang and sister for life.

Dehler Amoroso

Groomsman

Dehler is my oldest friend. He moved in across the street when we were both 2 years old and he has basically been my brother ever since. Dehler was a constant in our house throughout childhood and was always around for parties, vacations, and countless sports teams.

Kendall King

Maid of Honor

Kendall and I attended high school and SDSU together (8 years of school together). Post-college, we traveled to London and Switzerland together. We share a love for Lady Gaga, dance based workout classes, musicals, traveling all over the USA, and singing in the car. During this time together, she became my best friend for life.

Jerry Karczewski

Groomsman

Jerry was about 16 when Jacqueline and I first started dating. Since then I have thought of him as another little brother in my family. We were able to attend many of Jerry’s basketball tournaments when he played for Westmont College in Santa Barbara. Over the years, we have made great memories including spending time in Tahoe for the 4th of July, floating down the Truckee river, playing Blackjack at the Casino, or helping Jerry make a new viral TikTok video.

Sammi Gangloff

Bridesmaid

Sammi is Josh’s younger sister and I have known Sammi since she was in 7th grade. She is one of the most giving people I know and welcomed me into the family ever since Josh and I started dating back in 2012. She is my go to lady for make up tips and we also share a love for cheerleading and Disney. I am so excited to be sisters!

John Karczewski

Groomsman

I met John when he was 11 years old. He always welcomed me in the family and I also think of him as a younger brother. I have pretty much known John for half of his lifetime at this point. On John’s HS graduation day, the family was taking a picture for the annual Christmas card and he was the first to mention that I should be in the picture because I was pretty much a part of the family already. We have made lasting memories over the years from trips to Santa Cruz, Tahoe, and San Diego. John is also a big Harry Potter fan- like Jacqueline and me.

Aly Faucett

Bridesmaid

Aly and I met our freshman year of college through our Sorority- Alpha Phi. Post college- she also was my companion for our two month backpacking trip across Southeast Asia in 2018. Aly is always my go to gal for inspiration, advice, support, and dance choreography.

Chris McCoy

Groomsman

I met Chris through our childhood baseball team. Since then we have always been great friends. Chris would also join our family on vacations and we had countless sleepovers as kids- sometimes he would stay with us for weeks at a time. To this day, my mom still thinks of Chris as one of her adopted sons and I think of him as a brother.

Maddie Rohan

Bridesmaid

Maddie was one of my first friends at San Ramon Valley High School- we met in dance class and then decided to join the cheer team together. Maddie can make me laugh harder than anyone I know. She is always my go-to partner in crime, fellow meatball and lover of organic beauty.

Cameron Hardesty

Groomsman

Cameron and I met while playing on the same Mighty Mite football team. We were friends throughout grade school and would always carpool to the school dances together. Even though Cameron and I attended rival High Schools and went to different colleges, we have remained great friends through the years.

Kelly Sullivan

Bridesmaid

Kelly was my middle school arch nemesis that turned into one of my best friends. We attended middle school, high school, and college together- so it’s a good thing we became friends. She is my fellow sagittarius sister, cheerleader, and she makes the best popcorn of all time.

Patrick Shaughnessy

Groomsman

Patrick and I met while playing on the JV Lacrosse team my sophomore year of High School. Throughout High School, we travelled the country going to different tournaments during summers. After I graduated HS, Patrick and I were still close friends- you can often find him hanging out at our house. I know Patrick will always be there for me and will go out of his way to help any friend in need.

Emily Moore

Bridesmaid

Emily and I met our freshman year of high school and we are not only good friends but actual 4th cousins (I think). Emily and I share a strong Irish heritage, a love for adventure (we spent some time backpacking through Europe together), and although we live on opposite sides of the state, every time we are back together it is like no time has passed.

Nick Wright

Groomsman

I met Nick on the very first day of college. Nick convinced me to rush a fraternity and we both joined SAE. We both lived in the SAE house and were roommates for 2 years in college. Nick moved back to Washington after college, but we have been able to meet up a few times a year to catch up and just hang out together like old times.

Jen Benvenuto

Bridesmaid

Jen and I also met our freshman year of high school and have been bonded together since we dressed up as Seaweed for the freshman year Aloha dance. She has always been my yes-man girl- she is an avid hiker, fearless inter-tuber, superb beer drinker, and a guaranteed fun time.

Nik Stathopoulos

Groomsman

Nik joined our friend group my sophomore year of college when he moved into the “Triple” with Nick and me. We had a great time rooming together and became better friends as the years progressed. Nik still lives in San Diego and he has always had a place for me at his house when I visit. I know that every time we hang out it always turns into a great time and is a worthwhile experience.

Bailey O'Brien

Bridesmaid

Bailey and I met our freshman year at SDSU, we were dorm-mates at SDSU and sorority sisters. We lived together for 4 years in San Diego. Bailey is always so much fun to hang out with- we love to hike, sing karaoke, and hit the dance floor. I can’t wait to stand by Bailey’s side on her wedding day in December.

Rex Dunham

Groomsman

Rex and I met within the first few weeks of college. We lived in the same dorm and both joined SAE fraternity. Rex had known Jacqueline before I did and was pivotal in giving me the push that I needed to ask Jacqueline out on a date. After college, we have remained good friends and have been on numerous trips with all the boys together.

Allie Busch

Bridesmaid

Allie was my “little sister” in my sorority- Alpha Phi. We met my junior of college when Allie transferred to SDSU. Allie is always so much fun to hang out with- she always knows the best deals, gives the best fashion advice, and is the biggest Chargers fan I know. Josh and I also love her dog, Lulu.

Kara Postler

Bridesmaid

Kara and I also met through Alpha Phi. She was my roommate after we graduated. We bonded over our love of 30 minute sitcoms and trips to Disneyland. Kara is one of the kindest, easy going people I know, and she is always a blast to be with.

Annie Fernandes

Flower Girl

I met Annie through Craigslist when we were in need of a new roommate for our little bungalow in Los Angeles a few years ago. It was clearly the perfect match because Annie quickly became one of my very best friends. I know its not typical to have a flower girl the same age as the bride but I couldn't think of a better person for the job. Annie is kind, understanding, and a beautiful soul inside and out.

Kevin Hancock

Ring Bearer

We met Kevin during our freshman year of college- we all lived in the T-Nasty dorm together. Jacqueline and Kevin were in the student leadership program together through their time at SDSU. Kevin is the biggest SDSU basketball fan we know- in fact, we go to the Mountain West Basketball Tournament for his birthday every year. Go Aztecs! He currently lives in Hawaii and we are his most frequent visitors (at least once every year). We couldn't imagine our big day without Kevin being apart of it.
