Jessica & Jared
Wedding Party
Jordan Demanty
Maid of Honor
I can thank honors English 10 for this friendship. After failing our first assignment, we decided to partner up and fail together! Jordan quickly became one of my closest friends in high school and our friendship has only grown since. She is the friend I call when I am at my best, worst, and everything in between.
Julian Body
Best Man
Julian and I met in our freshman year of college and became roommates for three years. We've road-tripped the US together, visited Yosemite, and enjoyed many late-night meals at Arillaga Dining. Julian always supported my average wrestling career and I could always count on him for a well-timed joke. I'm very glad my lifelong friend agreed to be my Best Man.
Victoria Casero
Bridesmaid
Sisters by blood, but best friends by choice! From stealing each other's clothes to our long-distance FT calls, I love having a little sister like her. I can always count on Vic for an honest opinion and support in anything I do. It's so special to me to have my sister by my side for my wedding and anything else in life. I love my mini-me!
Caeleb Trace
Groomsman
Cael and I have played more Call of Duty together than I care to admit. Even though we played football and wrestled together in high school, our rigorous CoD schedule during the summer of 2020 really cemented our friendship. We consistently argue about which Pac 12 school is better and he is my pseudo fantasy football consultant. I’m thankful for a friend like Caeleb.
Kayla Hill
Bridesmaid
Friends by choice and now sisters by marriage! Kayla is a special bonus that has come out of my relationship with Jared. Even if I had not met Jared, I am convinced me and Kayla would have found a way into each other's lives! Kayla is easily the most kindhearted soul you will meet and my life is better with her in it!
Jared Periera
Groomsman
JP and I have been best friends since my sophomore year of high school, and the Perieras became my second family when my parents moved to Tucson. They would always welcome me into their home whenever I asked to visit (or showed up without warning). JP is such a genuine person and inspires me to be better just by being around him.
Hanna Iverson
Bridesmaid
Our journey begins in San Francisco where we shared a room for 4 years! Without Hanna, I may not have survived nursing school. Between late-night Salt n Straw runs to countless bike adventures, Han has always found a way to make our time together fun and memorable. From Fresno, Orange County, Nashville, Vancouver, and Phoenix, our friendship has some miles on it; but I can always count on her being a phone call away.
Jake Ladd
Groomsman
Jake and I have been the best of friends since 7th grade. We must have watched “The Other Guys” a hundred times together through the years. I can always count on him for a HEATED Mario Strikers game too. Although he grew up a lot faster than me, he always makes time whenever I call. I can’t wait to have him up there with me for my wedding.
Haley Linzmeyer
Bridesmaid
I have known Haley since pre-K days when I was on the same soccer team as her little sister. Hales is the big sister I always wanted. She is someone I look up to and can always count on her for a good time! Our friendship was only strengthened when we spent countless hours watching our boyfriends (now HUSBANDS) wrestle. I'm so thankful for our hometown bringing us together and for her standing by my side!
Jerrin Dean
Groomsman
Jerrin, another high school friend from wrestling (go figure) comprised the other portion of the Call of Duty dream team. It cannot be understated how grateful I am for him and Cael because they were most of my social interactions when I was stuck at home in 2020. I’m so glad he will be up there to support me on my wedding day.
Lauren Federico
Bridesmaid
Lauren is the first friend I made when my family moved to Fresno. We grew up 3 blocks from each other, and she became an honorary member of my family and me to hers. She has stuck by my side even through the awkward middle school phases and we have been there for each other's big life moments our whole lives. I can't imagine my wedding without her by my side!
Nathan Traxler
Groomsman
Nathan and I were recruited in the same year, but didn't hang out too much until I needed help with CS classes. Unfortunately for him, I let him convince me to do the minor in Computer Science, so I spent an inordinate amount of time in his dorm waiting for him to finish his work so he could help me with mine. Nathan is incredibly smart, talented, and friendly and I'm glad Stanford Wrestling brought us together.
Victoria Wade
Bridesmaid
Vic and I's friendship started the first night in our freshman college dorms. She lived across the hall from me and we both remember running into each other in the shared kitchen. 4 years later we survived San Francisco together. Vic is an adventure junkie and I never know which country she is exploring or what mountain she is hiking, but I always know she would drop what she is doing and be there for me!
Hexton Coronado
Groomsman
Hexton and I didn't always get along so well. Back in high school, we would often butt heads from football season clear through to wrestling. However, he is one of my most loyal friends. The first of my friends to get married, Hexton also showed me what a difference a good wife can make. I am grateful for his random Facetimes and the efforts he's made to remain friends even after I moved away from Clovis.
