Wedding Party

Brandyn Guerra

Mate of Honor

When I first met Kai, we bonded by talking about how adorably nerdy our girlfriends were. I could hear the fondness in Kai's voice when they talked about Rachel. When I finally got to meet Rachel in person, it was obvious that the feeling was mutual. I've always believed that if soulmates exist then they are not given but made, and I think Kai and Rachel are an example of that. They found and made their soulmates in each other. They make love look easy but they work hard for each other and everything they have. They're some of the best people I have ever met, and I am better for having known them. It's been a pleasure and an honor to be a part of their wedding and their lives. I wish them all the love and happiness in the world, because they truly deserve it.

Nimbus Vanderstein

Best Man

Hiya! My names Nimbus and I’m Rachel’s best man. Rachel and Kai are absolutely lovely, and I’m so grateful to be part of their wedding. They have been my best friends for the past three years. They’ve grown so much and their love is unmatched. Knowing how happy they make each other, and knowing how amazing the life they build together will be makes me so excited for them. Love you both!

Kiera Myers

Maid of Dishonor

Hey! I’m Kiera I’m a bridesmaid and younger sister to Kai. One of my favorite memories with Kai and Rachel is definitely the “first” time I met Rachel. They came to visit us in Texas and I unknowingly introduced myself for the second time and said “it’s nice to finally meet you”! After being laughed at I was told I’d already spent a week with Rachel previously. Whoops! Memory is not my strong suit but there’s no forgetting my future sister-in-law now. The amount of happy sobbing I did when I found out they got engaged was embarrassing and I’m so excited to do it again by their sides when they both say “I do”.

Jacob Nguyen

Bridesman

I met Kai, Rachel, and the rest of my friends a couple years ago, and it turns out ‘Wanna play Dungeons and Dragons?’ was a really easy way to make friends with them. Since then, we’ve been hanging out every week and they’ve been my greatest, closest buddies ever since. Since I met them, they’ve been so excited about each other that when they announced their engagement, I went ballistic! Now, a couple years later after we met, Kai and I play video games together all the time, while Rachel and I try to find as many ways as possible to mess with everyone else. Two things I’ve never thought I’d get to do with anyone! So I’m truly grateful to both of them for being such fantastic hosts and getting us all together over these past years!

Erin Grabinger

Bridesmaid

Hi, I’m Erin! I’m one of Kai’s bridemates and the only one still living up in Minne-snow-ta. Kai and I met in elementary school and have stayed close even while living across the country for most of our friendship. One time in middle school, after watching one of our favorite chick flicks, 27 Dresses, we had the brilliant idea to design our own set of 27 bridesmaid dresses (it sounds like fun, but that’s more dresses than you'd think). Long story short, by the end of the day we were very sick of dresses! Ten years later and many states away, I’m so excited to put on a real bridesmaid dress (that’s a bit less crazy than the ones we designed) and stand (probably sobbing) by my best friend as they add a new chapter to a love story that can only be defined as chick flick worthy!

Katrianna Myers

Bridesmaid

Hi, I’m Kat! I am one of Kai’s bridesmaids (and her favorite sister). I've obviously have known her all my life and was forced to grow up with her, she is very annoying but I love her more than words can describe. I don’t have a specific favorite memory with her, our childhood together is my favorite memory. I am currently crying typing this because I cannot believe my sister is getting married to the funniest and sweetest person ever. I am so happy to be one of the bridesmaids on my sister's WEDDING DAY!

Vit Moreno

Bridesmaid

Hi! I'm Val or Vit for friends! I first met Rachel a couple years ago when we hyped each other up for a project we ended up not starting at all, which in hindsight was a pretty good indicator of how our friendship would go. We later found out I had met Kai a while back (and failed them in exactly the same way I bonded with their fiancée) so I was just destined to be continually roasted by this couple and I wouldn't have it any other way. Rachel has been an unstoppable force of good in my life, and I’m honored at being allowed to stand by their side to share their joy as they march into this new adventure with the best partner they could ever ask for. I can’t wait to see how they keep helping each other grow into a better version of themselves through love and support. Here’s to the future!
