Kathy & Sarah
Wedding Party
Sarah Crachiolo
Bride
Tiny but mighty. A true Ravenclaw at heart, intelligent, creative, witty and a nerd, with a hint of the force. She is a Jedi in training, so all beware of the Jedi mind tricks.
Kathy Garcia
Broom
97.5% funny with a heart of gold. A true Hufflepuff: loyal, dependable, and hard working. She is one with the force. The force is with her. So take Chewbacca’s advice, "AAARARRRGWWWH!"
Anna Lé
Matron of Honor
Sarah’s bes-TEA. They met at LACC, where Anna is a microbiology professor. Don’t let that fool you! Along with teaching you about microorganisms, she's a super mom, an avid foodie, she knows her TEA, and can tell you all about Game of Thrones. Winter is coming!
Tracy Castellanos
Matron of Honor
One of Kathy’s best friends. They met at CSUN, and began their teaching careers together. Tracy has supported Kathy through the good, the bad and the ugly. Teachers during the day and friends for life. She’s such a kind soul. Take a moment to get to know her, she will lighten up your day.....if she’s not napping.
Christine Gengaro
Best Woman
Sarah's close friend from LACC. Christine is a loyal and dedicated friend who always seems to have the perfect advice for everything. She always has a positive attitude in any situation. Her bravery to pursue her many passions makes her the truest Gryffindor we know.
Michelle Kim
Best Woman
Kathy’s best friend. She is a light in the world. She is an artist, masseuse, entrepreneur, and the lone high school friendship that has proven to last no matter what. Her artistic skills and many talents have come in handy so many times. Please also make an appointment before asking for a massage.
Annika Espinoza
Bridesmaid
Annika and Sarah became quick friends over their love for Star Wars, Harry Potter, and Doctor Who after meeting at CSULB. They have a knack for randomly running into each other in the most crowded places. It is clear that their friendship was meant to be! Full of humor, a loyal Hufflepuff, and a Disney expert, Annika is truly a friend that makes any place the happiest place on Earth.
Sandra Garcia-Mead
Bridesmaid
Kathy's "younger sister", a true role model and inspiration. Her hard work and dedication is contagious and she has been Kathy's hero since the beginning of time, 1983. Sandra has been a trailblazer for the family and continues to be Kathy and Sarah's cheerleader! 1st and 10, let's do it again!
Jessica and Amayah Crachiolo
Rose Bearers
Mommy/daughter duo, Jessica and Amayah, they will be bringing a little bit of HotLanta with them and will lighten up the room. Jessica is Sarah's younger sister and favorite chef. If she is not cooking, working or taking care of Amayah, she is probably watching a documentary with a large cup of coffee. Amayah is one of the coolest and smartest kids Sarah knows (she's biased, of course). Amayah is an excellent padawan who loves puppies, narwhals, pokemon, and unicorns. If interested in Girl Scout cookies, she can hook you up!
Josie and Chloe Hernandez
Flower Child
Josie and Chloe, are Kathy's sister and niece. Josie is a hardworking mom and is the lady who lived in a shoe. She has so many children that she doesn't know what to do. Josie's 5 children are her life and Chloe is an amazing person because of it. Chloe is the only girl in the family and she may be small but she is a pint-sized powerhouse with chips.
Michael Crachiolo
Brother of the Bride
Everyone always thought Michael and Sarah were twins growing up because they were inseparable. He is a world traveler, a real-life "Carmen San Diego", who can speak four languages fluently. He is a social butterfly and loves to dance. He constantly takes on challenges and would make an excellent Gryffindor! A mystery only the sorting hat can truly reveal.
Colby Mead
Brother of the Broom
Colby is Kathy's brother that she never had and is the best guy she has ever met. Kathy looks up to him because of his amazing heart, soul, and love of everything Star Wars. He has taught her everything she knows about Star Wars, hockey and patience. His love for the Garcia family is undeniable and she hopes to continue to learn from his wisdom and dedication to his family. He is the real-life Obi-Wan Kenobi better known as Colby-Wan. He will walk Kathy down the aisle because he's our only hope. "The Force will always be with you."
