Monica & Jon
Wedding Party
Tessa Fujimoto
Matron of Honor
My sister is my center. She is who I go to for advice. Who I go to for a shoulder to cry on. She keeps me grounded and centered. Tessa was the first person to find out we were engaged and there wasn't a second thought about who would be my Maid of Honor. Like any sisters, we have inside jokes and secrets that no one else knows. After losing Maria, Tessa and I have created an even stronger bond and I am truly honored to have her standing beside me on my wedding day!
Gregory Syverson
Best Man
Jon was so excited to ask Greg to be his Best Man! Greg was even more excited to accept the role! Greg is a truly driven, motivated young man that has great aspirations and is on his way to great things! Jon and Greg have a bond that no mountain, valley, or river could ever come between. They are truly unbreakable. We are proud and honored to have Greg standing with his Dad on our wedding day!
Desiree Gurule
Bridesmaid
From the moment we met at Pima Medical Institute, it was friends at first sight! I have shared so many life experiences with this girl, including the birth of 2 of her precious babies! She was there the minute I found out my sister died and I know we will be the old ladies sitting on the front porch drinking beer later down the road. Desiree is the kind of girl that makes you laugh until you snort and will cry with you when you need it. What can I say, I love this girl and this day wouldn't be the same without her!
Randy Sanders
Groomsman
Jons' Sensei, motivator, supporter, friend and right hand man. He's the man Jon goes to for advice, encouragement, laughs, and Sake! Their 13 year friendship has grown over the years and Randy has become one of Jons' greatest mentors, helping Jon push past his physical limitations encouraging him to continuously strive to be the best version of himself. He is a true forever friend and we are all blessed to know him!
Janelle Stockwell
Bridesmaid
It was decided long before I even had a boyfriend that when the day came, Janelle would be there. Since age 5 Janelle and I were inseparable until the day she moved to Minnesota and broke my heart. Despite the distance, our bond is unbreakable and we have lived parallel lives and remained dear friends. I love this girl to the moon and back and this day wouldn't be the same without her by my side.
Glennis Bibbins
Groomswoman
Glennis has been a dear friend to Jon for almost 10 years. She's someone to confide in and someone who has helped Jon through life's trials and tribulations. Despite their distance, they remain the closest of friends and can always look to each other for laughs and a shoulder to cry on when needed! She is an inspiration and a wonderful, positive role model in Jon's life! It was an automatic decision when Jon wanted to ask Glennis to stand by his side during our wedding and we are both incredibly grateful to have her in our lives!
Anna Castillo
Bridesmaid
Anna is a gem! Jon met Anna through work and quickly developed a great friendship! As soon as Anna and I met, it was an instant friendship as well. This girl is someone everyone wants on their team, but only us lucky ones actually get her! She was there when we got engaged and we look forward to spending many more wonderful memories together! We love our Anna!
Pete Syverson Jr
Groomsman
Jon and Pete are only 13 months apart. They have an unbreakable brotherly bond like no other. He is a "help now, ask questions later" type of brother that will drop anything he is doing to be there for his family. Jon and Pete have always been close, both growing up and now! They have always been there to support one another and will continue to always have each others backs. We are honored and touched to have him by Jon's side at our wedding.
