We're getting married!
Wedding Party
Amanda Liceaga
Maid of Honor
Amanda and Maria met in the fifth grade and have been best friends ever since. They love doing everything from movies, to frozen yogurt, the occasional fancy photoshoot, and of course spending hours talking about anything and everything. Even though Amanda had to move to Texas for a couple of years towards the end of high school and into college, they remained close and found ways to make it seem like they were still just a 15 minute drive away. Amanda is a smart, kind, enthusiastic, and fun loving woman. Because of her constant support, attention to detail, and their long-lasting friendship Maria asked Amanda to be her Maid of Honor.
Bryanna Bundick
Bridesmaid
Bryanna and Maria both attended Salisbury University. They both lived in the same freshman dorm, and after A LOT of moving around and switching dorm rooms, they became roommates for the rest of their freshman year. They grew very close and spent lots of time together studying, eating meals in the dining hall, going out for a little fun on the weekends, and grabbing cookout on late nights just because. Maria and Bry have shared numerous laughs and been there for each other when one or both of them needed a shoulder to cry on. They've both supported and cheered each other on throughout their entire higher educational journey and will continue to share in every milestone for the rest of their lives.
Erin Bourn
Bridesmaid
Erin and Maria both met during their freshman orientation at Salisbury University. After a mix-up of who was supposed to be leading their group's next activity and about 30 kids staring at each other in silence, Maria decided to break the silence with some casual conversation, which Erin blessedly jumped in to help with. After introducing themselves and playing a round of Pterodactyl, everyone was left laughing until they couldn't breathe. Out of this silly and unforgettable experience, Maria and Erin became close and still engage in the craziest and silliest of conversations and meetings imaginable (including lots of weird accents).
Veronica Cuellar
Bridesmaid
Maria and Veronica were introduced to each other through Erin. The three of them shared many laughs and often spent many nights a week studying in the library or choking down the terrible food at the commons dining hall. Veronica's love for sports, outdoorsy personality, supportive nature, and unrelenting kindness and devotion are what really solidified these two into a lifelong friendship. They often still meet for coffee or Crumbl cookies just to catch up, reminisce on old memories, and laugh about the most random dad jokes ever told!
Alyssa Bradshaw
Bridesmaid
Alyssa is Andrew's sister-in-law. One time when he was visiting Maria at school, he Facetimed his brother Kyle, who was simultaneously visiting his now wife, Alyssa. It's safe to say that the two girls ended up taking their boyfriends' phones and talking to each other for quite a while, almost forgetting about their boyfriends entirely. They immediately had a connection and would later exchange numbers so they could text and call each other anytime they wanted. Alyssa turned out to be a supportive and kind person for Maria when she was struggling with different things, and their friendship only grew deeper when Alyssa asked Maria to be a bridesmaid in her wedding to Kyle (even though the two hadn't met in person yet). When the time came, there was no question that Maria wanted her as a bridesmaid in her own wedding.
Kyle Bradshaw
Best Man
Kyle is Andrew's older brother, and according to him, Kyle is his biggest idol and best friend. They did everything together growing up and stood by each other through all the ups and downs life had to throw at them. Even when they were trying to body slam each other into the ground, they were always laughing with each other. In Andrew's eyes, there couldn't be a better person to be his Best Man.
Travis Stokes
Groomsman
Travis became Andrew's oldest friend, who also happened to be his cousin. They grew up together and shared many core memories, having fun and getting into trouble at the lake house that Andrew's aunt and uncle used to have. Travis taught Andrew a lot and never stopped pushing him to be better.
Asheton Stokes
Groomsman
Asheton is also one of Andrew's cousins and just so happens to be Travis's son. These two shared endless fun and trouble together, whether it was running full speed off the dock at the lake house, jumping headfirst into the water, or throwing the football around; they were some of the best friends from the start. Andrew wanted to be for Asheton what Travis was for him. He traveled to see Asheton's football games when he could, gave advice from time to time, and showed Asheton how to get in and out of trouble.
Paul Kaschak
Groomsman
Paul is Maria's older brother. When Andrew first met him, he wasn't sure how they'd get along. Quickly after just a few interactions, Andrew took to Paul's unique sense of humor, and Paul never missed a moment to take Andrew's side anytime Andrew was playfully annoying Maria. Getting to know him and the rest of Maria's family, Andrew saw how he was a great older brother to her and how he would be a great older brother-in-law.
