“Watching Joan grow from that quiet girl in class to a mother and wife is an experience I didn’t know I’d get to be apart of. That’s my favorite memory to look back on, even if I may have annoyed her as kids. Now, seeing her be loved and cared for by Tony, I’m so happy to call them my friends and thankful to be apart of this experience with them.” -Jimmy

“All my memories with Joan are a favorite. We do things we know no one else would want to do with us! From taking each other on date nights when we need to get away, mom dates with the kids, all the way to extravagant birthday plans. The best part of this friendship is we plan to grow old together, imagining a time when our kids are grown, and we have freedom to roam.” -Emma

“My favorite memory of Tony would be very early on in our friendship. You see Tony has a cousin named Jesse and his locker was next to mine throughout most of middle school. Well he scared the shit out of me and I knew he and Tony were close so I was scared of both. But then years later I ended up befriending Tony's group of friends. Then one day we rode longboards together around Marengo just the two of us. And I learned that Tony was not somebody to fear, but rather someone to appreciate. As we rode around town I learned all about his family and his journey to Marengo. It was so nice to meet a genuine human being who was kind and very honest. We didn't do much besides talk and ride around but it was awesome nonetheless.It may not seem like a very important memory but it runs deep. It was the day I learned that this would be one of my best friends, even a brother, hopefully the rest of my life.” -Kyle

Padrinos de arras
Monica and Austin will present the Bride and Groom with arras they have blessed for good fortune in this marriage. “I wish for you guys to have a long, happy marriage filled with adventures. And that even when times get tough along the way, or feel impossible, that you two always stick it out and choose eachother because you couldn’t imagine a life without one another. I’d have to say my favorite memory so far of all of us is hanging out in Lost Lands. Because that’s when I feel like I was finally able to get to know each of you guys a little more and feel more comfortable. Vibing out to the music, all in good energy and there to just have a good time!”
