Wedding Party
Angelica Poliseri
Maid of Honor
Angelica is the bride’s twin sister and the ultimate planner—she somehow knows the bride’s next move before she does. Between officially organizing the bachelorette and unofficially psychoanalyzing everyone within a five-mile radius, she keeps life running smoothly while quietly judging us all. The bride couldn’t imagine this day (or most days) without Angelica by her side, even if she is always asking, "How does that make you feel?"
Marcus Otero
Groomsman
Marcus is the groom’s brother and an outdoors enthusiast who thrives on camping, hiking, and paddleboarding… basically anything that gets him out of the office at Wells Fargo. He’s hilarious, with a collection of inside jokes and stories with the groom that no one else will ever fully understand. Whether he’s on a trail, a paddleboard, or just telling a story, Marcus has a way of turning every moment into an adventure worth remembering.
Kristina Poliseri
Bridesmaid
Kristina is the bride’s little sister and is famously cranky when she doesn’t get enough sleep. She takes great pride in being mean to the bride at every opportunity, a skill she’s likely perfected while working in construction management in San Francisco. Beneath the attitude is someone with the sweetest heart who loves fiercely and shows up in the most genuine ways.
Dakota Otero
Groomsman
Dakota is the groom’s brother, a thoughtful soul with a passion for health, music, philosophy, and physics—a combination that keeps everyone guessing what he’ll ponder next. Whether he’s debating the mysteries of the universe or dropping a perfect playlist, he brings curiosity, insight, and creativity to every moment. Smart, caring, and endlessly interesting, Dakota proves that brains, heart, and rhythm make the perfect mix.
Sophia Valceschini
Bridesmaid
Sophia is the bride’s first cousin and may take weeks to respond to texts, but somehow she still manages to make every coffee and meal look like a Vogue spread on Instagram. Living in San Diego, she’s always impeccably stylish, effortlessly chic, and never fails to make everyone around her smile. Beneath the filtered perfection, she’s one of the kindest, most genuine people the bride knows.
Nathan Reyes
Groomsman
Nathan is the groom’s cousin and nearly as obsessed with Lord of the Rings as the groom himself—though he swears he’s not plotting to claim the One Ring. Beyond his love of Middle-earth, he’s an incredible father to Abby and August and a devoted husband, juggling family life like a true hero. Loyal, kind, and always ready for an adventure (or a movie marathon), Nathan proves that real-life heroes don’t need magical powers… just a big heart and a love of hobbits.
Elaina Reyes
Bridesmaid
Elaina is the bride’s sister-in-law-to-be and instantly made everyone feel at home during their weekend in North Carolina. She’s the most welcoming host, easy to get to know, and somehow manages to be both effortlessly charming and genuinely caring. A loving mother, a dedicated nurse practitioner student, and a thoughtful friend, Elaina somehow juggles school, motherhood, and hosting duties—leaving the rest of us wondering if she secretly has a time-turner. Basically, she’s the kind of person you immediately want on your team—and the bride is lucky to have her standing by her side.
Sean Reyes
Groomsman
Sean is the groom’s cousin and a passionate hunter who also has a love for the thrill of the outdoors in the sweltering North Carolina heat. He’s a devoted husband to Elaina and a proud father to their son, navigating family life with the same dedication he brings to every adventure. Loyal, grounded, and always ready with a laugh, Sean proves that a love of the outdoors, family, and a little hard work can go hand in hand—even when the thermometer is rising.
Carina Valceschini
Bridesmaid
Carina is the bride’s first cousin and the embodiment of “how is anyone this perfect?” Cute, hardworking, and disciplined, she went from cheerleader to coach while somehow keeping her life flawlessly in line. She loves the gym, crushes every goal, and somehow makes the rest of us question our life choices—thankfully, she’s as kind and genuine as she is enviably perfect.
Jimmy Esquivel
Groomsman
Jimmy is the groom’s cousin and a lifelong Santa Rosa resident with a passion for music that could get any party started. As a DJ, he knows how to read a room and keep the energy high, making him the go-to guy when fun is required. Loyal, upbeat, and always ready with a playlist for any occasion, Jimmy proves that life is better with a little music… and maybe a few surprise dance moves.
Hope Campagna
Bridesmaid
Hope has been the bride’s best friend since she was two and has always been the older sister she never had. After long college nights out, they’d spend mornings debriefing the drama and dissecting every detail—sometimes with the patience of a saint while the bride freaked out. Calm, kind, and wonderfully passive, Hope rarely inserts her opinion, making her the perfect listener and lifelong confidante.
Alex Esquivel
Groomsman
Alex is the groom’s cousin and a longtime creative force, from his breakdancing days to playing in the band Super Square. These days he produces music and dominates video games, proving some talents never go out of style… even if others do. Fun, competitive, and full of stories only family could understand, Alex always brings energy (and a little friendly chaos) wherever he goes.
Mackenzie Graham
Bridesmaid
Mackenzie has been the bride’s best friend since before birth—their parents knew each other in high school, and the bond has only grown stronger. She never holds back her opinion and will happily tell you when you’re out of line, keeping everyone honest and on their toes. Fiercely loyal and endlessly supportive, she’s the ultimate ride-or-die who always has the bride’s back, even when the truth stings a little.
Tan Li
Groomsman
Tan is a friend of the groom and the best friend of Marcus, bringing energy, humor, and adventure wherever he goes. An avid runner and lover of the outdoors, he even started a running club to motivate others to get moving and embrace the adventure. Loyal, inspiring, and always up for a challenge, Tan proves that a little sweat and a lot of enthusiasm can make life—and friendship—truly unforgettable.
Cynthia Rose
Bridesmaid
Cynthia has been the bride’s best friend since they started teaching together five years ago—and was even on her interview panel, so she technically helped decide the bride’s fate. She knows the bride better than the bride knows herself most of the time and isn’t afraid to tell it like it is. Always just a call away, day or night, Cynthia is one of the most caring, empathetic, and genuinely dependable people the bride has ever known.
Carlos Madrigal
Groomsman
Carlos is a friend of the groom who met the couple while teaching math to middle schoolers at Healdsburg Junior High. He’s a quiet and stoic presence, but those who take the time to know him discover a genuinely sweet and loyal friend. An avid soccer player and runner who makes friends effortlessly, Carlos proves that sometimes the most unassuming people leave the biggest impression.
Ashley Lemus
Bridesmaid
Ashley met the bride in college during their teaching credential program, and they bonded instantly over shared empathy and interests. Their first friend date at Mary’s set the tone for a friendship that clicked immediately—and hasn’t slowed down since. She would do anything for the people she loves and is a devoted, loving mother to her daughter Blake… just don’t try to get her to touch a burger.
John Elmorini
Groomsman
John is a friend of the groom, a fellow nerd who shares a love of Magic cards and hanging out with friends—a hobby they bonded over all the way back in high school. He’s a devoted husband and father who balances family life with his passion for good company and an occasional cold beer. Endearing, loyal, and always up for a game or a laugh, John proves that friendship, family, and a little friendly competition make life all the richer.
Zayna Zinnel
Bridesmaid
Zayna has been the bride’s friend since college, back when they lived just one floor apart—and somehow managed to make every floor a little wilder. Always insanely busy but somehow always down for a party, she truly is the life of every gathering. Beneath the chaos and fun, she cares deeply for her friends, spending time over her past two winter breaks making book journals with the bride and catching up like the thoughtful, loyal friend she is.
Nico Navarro
Groomsman
Nico is a family friend—and basically another cousin to the groom—who brings friendliness, generosity, and a sense of adventure wherever he goes. Living in Sebastopol allows him to be close to nature, and he works alongside the groom’s mom at Dutton Winery, spreading good vibes and lending a helping hand whenever needed. Loyal, thoughtful, and always ready to listen, Nico proves that some people make life easier just by being around.
Abigail Reyes
Flower Girl
Abby is the groom’s niece and a little bundle of charm, with a love for reading that would put most adults to shame. She’s equally passionate about building with Legos and baking up delicious creations, proving she’s both creative and clever. Smart, sweet, and endlessly adorable, Abby lights up every room she enters—and occasionally steals the spotlight with her impressive skills.
August Reyes
Ring Bearer
August is the groom’s nephew, a little bundle of energy with brains to match his love of Tae Kwon Do. Obsessed with Legos and dinosaurs, he builds, battles, and imagines like a pro—sometimes leaving the adults in awe (and slightly jealous). A wonderful younger brother to Abby, August brings curiosity, fun, and endless charm wherever he goes.
