Samantha & Joey
Wedding Party
Angela Ortiz
Maid of Honor
We were mortal enemies the first day we met in third grade. But then we got over it in like the matter of 24 hours and have been best friends ever since. We have literally grown up together, been engaged together, planned our weddings together, you better believe we will end up in the same nursing home together too!
Taylor Wright
Best Man
Taylor has been my best friend all my life. We grew up living down the street from one another. As kids you could find us skateboarding or biking all around the neighborhood. Not much has changed as we have gotten older except for upgrading our skateboards for our big boy toys. I can't wait to have this guy buy my side on the big day!
Alyssa Roost
Bridesmaid
I've known Alyssa all through high school, but we have become extra close in the past few years. We love to workout, talk business, and of course drink champs together. Life is always better with this girl by my side, so of course she's apart of my tribe!
Anthony Roost
Groomsman
Anthony is one of Sam's best friend's husbands. At first we hung out because of the girls, but now we probably talk more than them. Anthony and I always have the best time whether we are throwing a few back at the bar or playing video games.
Katie Barlow
Bridesmaid
Back in college Katie and I were pretty much forced to be best friends by our Big Sis' in our sorority. So thank you Amanda and Brie for bringing one of the funniest, smartest, and most loyal people into my life. Make sure you find Katie at the wedding and have a conversation with her, you'll laugh your ass off and thank me later.
Sergio Escobar
Groomsman
Sergio and I met in elementary school and have been friends ever since. You could usually find us skateboarding around town and getting into water balloon fights. We have remained friends throughout the years and Sergio even lives with Sam and I now.
Alex Michelle
Bridesmaid
Alex and I went to high school together. We really became close after college when we lived down the street from one another in Walnut Creek. I can't tell you how many times we would have sleepovers when we literally live a few apartments away from each other. Last year I was lucky enough to be apart of Alex and Danny's wedding and now I get to have her by my side... I wouldn't have it any other way!
Jory Kleven
Groomsman
I met Jory through other friends one weekend while out on the boat. If you want to have a good time, just call this guy. Whether we are partying, having a guys night, or just chillin him and I, we always have the best time. Jory is also officiating our wedding and I couldn't think of a better person to marry us!
Kristin Chandlee
Bridesmaid
I remember when Kristin and I first met. We had joined the same sorority and realized we were both from the bay area. Not only did we live together in college, but we have spent all of our birthday's together since we've met, even though we live six hours away from one another. Kristin is also hilarious and knows everything there is to know about pop culture. Seriously, ask her anything.
Wes Anderson
Groomsman
Wes and I became quick friends during summer school at Bristow in 6th grade. We first became friends because we had the same size dirt bike. Wes lived on land so we would go over to his yard and ride together. We have been friends ever since.
Jamie McGovern
Bridesmaid
Jamie and I met in high school and immediately became great friends. We have always connected in such a special way, we just get each other. So it was only meant to be when we decided to move in together. We lived together for three years and had been through it all together (lowest lows and highest highs). She's also mama to our cute little flower girl!
Jason Minick
Groomsman
After high school as I got more into Harley's and riding, I met Jason. We both had a love for riding and bonded over that. Jason is always down for every bad idea we come up with. If there was ever a problem with anyone, I could always count on him to have my back. We formed a pretty solid group and have been friends ever since.
Alicia Pellaton
Bridesmaid
My partner in crime, Alicia! We have had so many memories together, ones not appropriate to share on here, but let's just say I've never laughed so hard. We met in high school, and her brother will continue to tell you that him and I were friends first, BUT Alicia and I had ceramics together and almost got kicked out everyday for being chatty and giggly. And that will always be the case when we are together.
Ed Pierson
Groomsman
I also met Ed around the same time as Jason. We spent our time riding Harley's and going out. What I love about Ed is that he is always himself. He is a good time, and I'm excited for him to be apart of my big day.
Jennifer Apea
Bridesmaid
I met Jen as a freshman in college and then we ended up joining the same sorority and living together most of college. You can usually catch me asking for Jen's confirmation on things like, "right Jen?" That's because I admire her strength and judgement so much.
Brandon Helms
Groomsman
Brandon is Sam's brother and my soon to be little bro. I met him when Sam and I first started dating, but we got close in the past 3 years. We usually spend our time working on cars when we aren't with the rest of the family.
Mariah Cox
Junior Bridesmaid
It's crazy to think that I was the flower girl in Mariah's mom's wedding and now she gets to be in my wedding. Ever since the day Mariah was born I knew we had a special connection, and our bond has grown even stronger over the years. I'm so proud of who she is and love her so much!
