Wedding Party

The Wedding Website of Jessica Oquendo and Joshua Steckel
We are so blessed to be surrounded by friends and family who have walked with us through every season of life. Our wedding party is made up of the people who have prayed with us, laughed with us, and celebrated all of life’s milestones alongside us. Each of them holds a special place in our story, and we can’t imagine saying “I do” without them by our side.

Maaty Lara

Maid of Honor

Every bride needs a hype woman, and Maaty is mine! She’s my Maid of Honor, She’s been there through the late-night talks, big life changes, and endless laughs. I’m so thankful to have her walking with me on this special day.


Alex Nunez

Man of Honor

Not everyone gets to have a Man of Honor, but I couldn’t do it any other way! Alex has been there for all the laughs, tears, and adventures, and now he’ll be there making sure my wedding day goes off without..... wait a minute - there's possibly a prank involved.

Poly Rodriguez

Bridesmaid

Poly has been with me through thick and thin—through the tears, the laughs, and everything in between. She’s seen it all and still loves me anyway, which makes her the perfect person to stand by me as a bridesmaid!


Manny Freytes

Bridesman

Manny is my Bridesman, and he has been one of my closest friends and biggest supporters. He brings so much joy, wisdom, safety and laughter into my life, and I’m beyond grateful to have him by my side on this special day.

Helen Batres

Bridesmaid

Helen is not only one of my bridesmaids but also the creative heart behind our wedding décor. Her gentle spirit, thoughtfulness, and artistic eye bring so much beauty to this day, just as she has always brought beauty and calm into my life.


Ibby Helm

Bridesman

Ibby has always been like a Superman in my life—strong, dependable, and always there when I’ve needed him most. He’s my ride-or-die, and I’m so thankful for his loyalty, his love, and his friendship through every season.

Nast Whitson

Bridesmaid

Every bride needs someone who keeps her grounded in faith, and Nast is that sister for me. She has been my encourager, my prayer warrior, and my Christ-centered friend, and I couldn’t imagine this day without her.


Paige Stroh

Bridesmaid

Paige is my Christ-centered sister. She has been a steady reminder of God’s love and grace, walking with me through life’s highs and lows this past season. Her gentle spirit and encouragement are a blessing, and I’m honored to have her by my side on this day.

Jenn Mengerink

Groomswoman

As our only sister, we tormented Jenn her whole childhood. The least I could do to repay her is ask her to stand up with me on my special day ! Jenn is honestly one of my closest friends, and her support means the world to me.


Jeremy Steckel

Groomsman

As my older brother, Jeremy has always been the trail blazer of the family. He has been a pillar of stability for me through the years , and a great inspiration to me. It’s a blessing to be close to a brother who you also look up to.

Jonny Steckel

Groomsman

Jonny may be my little brother, but he has had a massive impact on my life. Jonny has been with me through it all, and his friendship and loyalty mean the world to me. No matter what I need, Jonny will be there to help me out.


Robbie Anfang

Groomsman

Robbie has been my best friend since college, and he was the reason I went to New Jersey in the first place ! Even though we are states away, he will always be my go-to guy to do all the adventures with.

Jon Dias

Groomsman

Jon and I became close in college, and have only gotten closer since. Even in the military, and moving all over the states, Jon and I maintain a super close friendship and brotherhood. I couldn’t imagine an important day in my life without him standing up there with me !


Michael Smith

Groomsman

Mike “Savage” Smith is the one who introduced Jess and I. We love working out , talking about Jesus, getting tattoos, and being goofy and laughing together! Even living in Maryland, Mike will always be in my innermost circle.

Drew Jantzen

Groomsman

Drew and I go all the way back to high school, where we were not nearly as cool as we are now. Drew is always down to get together, to go adventure, or just grab a beer with. I feel so blessed to have a friend from childhood and knowing I have a friend for life in Drew.


Eric Hafner

Groomsman

It’s surprising Eric and I are still alive to be here today! The amount of dumb and potentially dangerous things we have done together bond us for life. Eric is a great friend in all senses of the word, and it’s an honor to have him stand up there with me.
