Wedding Party
Priscilla Sauceda aka Prissy
Matron of Honor
We go all the way back to our Jr High Cheerleading days but our friendship really grew when we both went to UT. Living one floor apart at Dobie, we got into a lot of really stupid shenanigans. From drunk frat parties to now being the Godmothers to each others daughters. There have been times where I know we are such clear opposites, Prissy is the eternal optimist, I am not... She is a good dancer, I have zero rhythm,.. but she is the ying to my yang, and I think being friends with Priss has helped round me out for the better :).
Stella Martin
Maid of Honor
It was not love at first site for us. Our bitch faces almost stopped us from becoming friends at Freshman Orientation at UT but as fate would have it, we ended up being assigned as Suite mates at Dobie. One long sleepless night later and we've been best friends ever since, even though she abandoned me to live in New York this year. She's been one of my strongest supporters since we met and I can't imagine life without this girl.
Allison Parnell
Bridesmaid
My "sisterwife." We both lived in townhouses next to each other on what we called "single mom row" with our two little girls for a few years before Josh came into the picture. We had our "Porch Dates" a few times a week, where we would bring our monitors, sit on our front porch, wine in hand, and chat about anything and everything after our little nuggets went to bed. I always knew that if I had had a hard day or something crazy was going on, I could text Alli "Porch date" and that would be it, we would rush to get out kids in bed and meet out there. These nights kept me sane in those early mommy days!
Keri Garrison
Bridesmaid
Not too many people are lucky to get to go to work with one of their best friends every day, but I am! Keri and I were pregnant at the same time with our girls who are only about a month apart and we got to experience all the joys of pregnancy together as new mommas. From the swollen feet to daydreaming about the day we could drink wine again, we got to commiserate together. We can only hope Quinn and Tenley will like each other as much as we do :)
Adriana Tasharofi
Bridesmaid
We are Coello Sister survivors!! ;) We grew up in different countries but every time we see each other we pick up right where we left off. I've been lucky enough that she either just likes Austin or has a fondness for me because this lady has come to some of the most important moments from my baby shower to now our engagement party, I can count on her to be there. So lucky to have you as a cousin!
Adam Blach
Best Man
It was a cold night on the streets of Cheyenne when I found the lost soul that would become my best friend. It started with me teaching him how to play pool, drink jager, and win at trivia while he tried to get me to sign up for a Target credit card, shot bbs in the kitchen and invited friends over to break my ping pong table. After he moved back to Colorado I couldn't handle the weekend commute every week so quickly followed. Many Thanksgivings, Christmas parties, March Madness and golf outings later he is still like a brother and his family has adopted me much like I did him that cold evening so many years ago.
R-O-B Peck
Groomsman
I got R-O-B as part of a package deal with knowing Adam. With them formerly having been roommates we all quickly became friends. R-O-B and I have worked, played/watched sports, made bad decisions (puka shell necklaces), and baby sat Adam together. Once I taped up his hand after an intense frisbeer game turned into disaster. It was his bachelor party so the athletic tape would have to work because with R-O-B the party must go on!
Kevin McDonald
Groomsman
As work started moving me around I found Kevin on the other side of the rockies at a BBQ. Kevin had just started dating his wife Jen and the three of us quickly became the "three best friends that anyone can have." Even though Kevin kept moving slowly away from SLC and into Nevada I would still make out the commute to have the worst all you can eat sushi by his place. Luckily he would also make the commute so we could watch concerts, take pickle back shots, and get out on the lake.
Drew Harrison
Groomsman
Drew was one of the first people I met when I moved to Austin. His love for everything volleyball, Star Wars, board games, and clothes meant we started spending a lot of time together. Whether it was nights at the Moontower or different events around Texas, Drew and I were often together and he would usually make sure I got chicken nachos and Italian Creme Cake for my birthday.
Andre Arrieta
Groomsman
Andre was a volleyball buddy who I first got to know when I moved to Austin. As the years went by I found myself often with Andre either playing volleyball, checking out a new restaurant or lounging at a pool. When we traveled to Peru together I really got to know more about Andre as nothing brings people together like a 5 day hike and no distractions. After several other trips together Andre has become a good friend regardless of what our group chats might make people think.
