Wedding Party
Chessa Maxwell
Maid of Honor
Chessa is my long time friend I met in Pagosa, she married my brother and is now my sister in law and the mother of my nephew. She is an amazing mother and wife, and I hope to raise our children together one day! She is someone I can laugh with, cry with, and vent to. Being around her is always such a fun time, she is one of the most supportive people I have in my life, always helping me through the good, and sometimes bad life choices I make lol! I chose her to be my maid of honor because she is incredibly special to me and has always been there for me. We have been through thick and thin together, and I'm blessed to have such a beautiful, caring, and kind person in my life!
Holly Hopkins
Chief Bridesmaid
I met Holly when we both worked at Starbucks. We quickly went from being co-workers to being close friends, and moving in together. Holly is my rock and like a sister to me, she is so so precious to me and I am so grateful to have her in my life, although I only met her during my adult-hood, it feels like we've been life-long friends. She is someone I know will always be by my side in life, and I'm so grateful for her friendship! She is going to be a huge help with the wedding, and I have blessed her with the honor of making my wedding cake! (lol!) therefore she has the position of Chief Bridesmaid.
Katelyn Neely
Bridesmaid
I met Katelyn around the same time I met Cody, working at Higher-Grounds. We now work at TBK together, which has been so much fun! She pulled me out of my shell and showed me kindness and friendship. She is always such a joy to be around, and is guaranteed to make my day brighter! She is someone I feel like I can truly be my goofy self around, and is someone who is always willing to help out and gives great advice. Our trips to Farmington, the mall, and concerts together are always memories I will remember and cherish. I know we'll be navigating life together and I'm glad I'll have her by my side! I treasure her friendship, and can't wait to be her future sister-in-law one day.
Savannah Owens
Bridesmaid
Savannah is a very dear friend to me, who I met working at Higher-Grounds. We bonded over closing shifts, and she quickly became one of my closest friends! I was super honored to be one of her bridesmaids at her beautiful wedding. She is always aiming to make you smile and lights up every room she walks in. Our time working together at Higher-Grounds, was always so fun, she made a long closing shift seem like a breeze, spending time with her is always so special to me, and I couldn't ask for a more beautiful, caring and sweet friend! I'm so grateful to have her in my life and am so happy to have her as one of my beautiful bridesmaids!
Oceana Willis
Bridesmaid
Oceana is a life-long friend, having met her when we were just 5 years old. She has always been there for me, and have been through it all together. She is one of those people you can not see for 2 years and immediately vibe with the second you see her again, we have such good memories together, went through childhood, teenage years, and now going into adult-hood together, and I don't know how I would have done it without her! She always knows what to say, is super outgoing, fun, and is a light in my life, I'm so blessed to have her as a life-long friend, and I know we'll be growing old together!
Larissa Vidales
Bridesmaid
Larissa is my sweet cousin, I'm always so excited to see her during family visits, we would make forts together as little kids, put on plays for our parents, and would always find something fun to do! I have such good memories with her, she is like a little sister to me, and has grown into a beautiful young lady, who I am so proud of! I am honored to have her as both my cousin and my bridesmaid.
Danea Vidales
Bridesmaid
Danea is my sweet little cousin, when she was born I knew I had another best friend in life! She is always kind, caring, and loving. She would always have such creative ideas as kids, was a huge part in our childhood plays and concerts, and she was always the star of the show! She is so loving and outgoing, I'm so honored I got to watch her grow up, and am so grateful so have such a wonderful cousin!
Cheri Maxwell
Mother of the Bride
My mom is my biggest supporter in life, I always know I can go to her for anything. She is not only my rock, but my best friend, and the best mother I could ever ask for. She is such a precious person to me, and I am so grateful to have her in my life. I don't know what I would do without her. She has a heart of gold, and is a light in our family. She is someone I can laugh with, cry with, and go to for the best motherly advice, she is incredibly loved by everyone in her life and I am so grateful I get to have her by my side in my wedding!
Scott Maxwell
Father of the Bride
Having my dad is my life is such a blessing, he always knows what to say, and is always willing to give a helping hand. He brought me to love God, and made sure we never skipped reading the bible at night. He taught me so many valuable things, taught me how to fish, hunt, drive, collect firewood, and has always been there whenever I needed him! I know I can go to him in times of need and he'll have the answer for me. I am honored to have him walk me down the isle.
Brendon Maxwell
Bridesman
My brother is one of the closest people in my life. We grew up together, camping in the backyard, catching frogs, and building awesome forts. He knows me better than I know myself, and has always been there for me through thick and thin. He is not only my brother, but my best friend and my ride or die. I know I can call him at 3 am for any situation and he'd be on his way. I am so honored to have him in my life, and as my brother, and I'm so glad we get to go through life together.
Danny Canela
Bridesman
Danny is the best big brother anyone could ever ask for! He one of the kindest people I know, he lights up every room he walks into, and has the best sense of humor! Growing up having him in my life is something I cherish, I have the best memories with him, he would always know what to do when I came to him with my little girl drama, monsters under my bed, or when my car has a flat tire. I know he is always there for me, and I am so incredibly lucky to have him in my life. He is someone who everybody adores, it only takes him 3 minutes to show how kind, caring, and loving he is. I am so honored to have him in my wedding!
Gabriel Canela
My brother in heaven
My big brother Gabe, who passed away in 2022, I know is looking down on us, we are missing him today and always. He had a heart of gold, and a contagious laugh. He was caring, kind, and always brightened a bad day. He was the best big brother any little girl could ask for. I miss the food he would cook for our family, he knew how to make the best burger I've ever had. His love for cooking, his ambition in life, and his kindness and dedication to the people he loved glowed within him. We all miss him so much and will be honoring his memory by lighting a candle, and with a reserved seat at the wedding.
Cameron Caler
Best Man
Cameron is my twin brother and closest friend and it should go without telling why I asked him to be my best man. For most of my life, I felt I didn't have to experience growing up and learning how to do life alone and that is something I have always been grateful for. He has fully supported me in nearly every life decision I have made and has never failed to add a like-mindedness for me that no one could replicate. Having Cameron as a twin brother is more than just having a brother. It's having a best friend and family member, but also a sort of extension of myself that I could never replace.
Jeryd Caler
Groomsman
Jeryd is one of my many cousins and someone I looked up to my whole life. As an adult I learned to practice art in many forms, but it was Jeryd that sparked or reinforced my imagination and creativity as a child. He has without a doubt brought the hilarity to all occasions and does an excellent job at keeping the mood up. He played a large role in my youth and continues to do so along with the rest of the Caler family that makes me feel honored to have him and his family in my life.
Joe Cocke
Groomsman
Joe has been my best friend since childhood and has been around me almost as much as my brother (Cameron won the Best Man award by a hair). Joe and I have wildly different personalities and lives, and I think that's why we mesh. He taught me how to have fun, crazy adventures that have been cemented as memories I'll never forget. Joe has been there for me in my ups and downs, and I'm grateful to him for being an amazing person to me and providing a friendship I will have forever.
Angelo Pera
Groomsman
Oldest of the Pera brothers and older cousin of mine, Angelo is kind and mindful despite his large stature and head. I visit his family as often as I can, and built many of my life memories with him starting from a young age. He'll taunt you and beat you down when you get him back. No matter what we get up to, Angelo is energetic and hilarious. I can count on him for a fun time and he'd sign up to give me a helping hand if I needed it. He has and always will be an exceptional family member to me.
Alex Pera
Groomsman
Angelo's younger brother and one of my younger cousins, Alex. He's unbelievably late to everything, but incredible at making anyone feel comfortable in a room. If I need someone to chill with, it's Alex, he's really good at sitting on a couch. On the other hand, he's a good person to talk to about just about anything; an equal blend of personality traits. He and his brother are invaluable family members I've always been grateful to have.
Eric Niland
Groomsman
I met Eric through the Pera family when I was a teenager and he quickly became a staple in my life. Although I haven't gotten enough time around Eric, he has become someone I can trust as family. In fact, he was the very first person to RSVP and kindly accept my invitation to be in my wedding party and I am honored that he could be a part of this step in my life. He stabilizes the energy and is one of the smartest people I know. I consider Eric the rock in the family groups I am around and feel that he is genuinely good and careful of others.
Nick (Buggy) Pera
Groomsman
Like Eric, I met Buggy as a teenager on vacation in Pacifica, CA. Buggy is good at being empathetic and trying to cater for what others want or need, a trait few people seem to carry and one that I value personally. More than capable of having a deep and honest conversation with, he is one my favorite people to talk to. Although Buggy isn't directly related to me, I wouldn't consider him less than my own family and I am grateful for his presence in my life.
Jake Rudolph
Groomsman
Another cousin of mine from the Rudolph family, Jake. If you ask me, he's no doubt the rowdiest of the bunch which is exactly what makes Jake, Jake. I spent more time with him when I was younger, and see him now as often as I'm able. Jake is always looking for fun and adds a chaos element to a group that bring the mood up. I would easily rely on Jake for fun and joy. He is as important to me as all the men in my party and I am blessed to have the Rudolphs as my family.
Lyndall Caler
Father of the Groom
Lyndall, my dad. There aren't enough words to fit on this page to describe my dad. He nearly raised his kids almost all alone, especially Cameron and I. I don't know where I'd be without his dedication to his family. I never was wired to be a gushy person and I don't tell him enough but he's done more for me than he knows, and doesn't know it well enough. He gave up a large part of his life so that I could have mine as a child and teenager and I will never be grateful enough for it. He taught me so many things about becoming a man and a behaved person. His values, beliefs, and teachings I try to apply to my life as often as I can. He works so hard to provide value to his family's life and I believe he understands money is expendable, but family is not. He shows up to everything he can, and takes the time out of his day to help me when I'm in need. I am 25 years old and I'll still consult him for major decisions in my life. I'd consider myself lucky to become half the man he is, he'd give his life for me on the drop of the dime and I love him to death. I am most grateful to have him as a father.
