Wedding Party

Juliette Best

Maid of Honor

Juliette is my cousin but I like to call her my big sis. I have always looked up to Juliette ever since I was a little girl and still do to this day. We have such a special bond and I will always cherish it. Juliette has always treated me like a little sister, which has meant the absolute world to me ever since I could remember. She is one of the most selfless, genuine, kind and thoughtful person I have ever met. Kyle and I have only been engaged for 4 months now and Juliette has already been the best maid of honor. She has been with me through every step of the way and I am so lucky to have this beautiful lady standing right by my side on the big day! Love you Jules and thank you for everything you do for me!


Eli Roman

Best Man

Eli and I have been best friends since High School. We have made some pretty great memories together through out the years. Like Monday night movie nights, all you can eat sushi, bike riding, football and so much more. I couldn't have gotten through high school without him. Eli was my first friend to get married and start a family. I definitely look up to him with everything he has accomplished in his life so far. I was lucky enough to get to be in his wedding and I am so stoked to have him a part of mine. He is going to be a great best man!

Kaelyn Long

Bridesmaid

I like to call this girl my sissy, we have been best friends for 25 years! Our mom's so happened to move to the same street, became best friends and got pregnant at the same exact time. Thanks to our mom's, Kaelyn and I received the greatest gift a person could ever have... a best friend for life. Words can't describe how much this girl means to me. We have a special bond that not many people will understand. No matter what happens in life, I know I will always have my sissy by my side. Kaelyn and I have been talking about our weddings since we were little girls, I am so blessed to still have that same best friend 25 years later by my side on such a special day. Can't wait for the next 25 years of memories with you to come. Love you Sissy!


Joe Kamel

Groomsman

Joe and I met in college playing football together, from then on we have been like brothers and I consider him one of my closest friends. Joe has always been there for me no matter what. I moved all the way to the east coast and sometimes moving away causes friendships to drift. But not Joe and I's, we still talk at least once a day. That's a friend that you know will be your best friend forever. Most importantly, he is my xbox buddy for life haha. Thanks for being such a great friend to me over the years!

Haley Castro

Bridesmaid

I have known Haley for almost 16 years now and let me tell you there has never been a single dull moment with this girl. Without a doubt Haley will be one of my life long best friends. She has always been there for me through thick and thin and I will forever cherish her for how great of a friend she has been to me over the years. Haley is just an all around beautiful person inside and out, I think very highly of this girl! We have shared so many amazing memories together from softball, Bahamas, Light House, Hume Lake, honestly the list could go on. I can't wait for many more memories to come. So honored to have her as a bridesmaid on my special day! Love you Haley!


Johnny Buksa

Groomsman

John and I were roommates in college and the first person I met in Colorado. We have made so many memories together, football games, our awesome apartment parties, and so much more. You see, we went to college in a very small town in Colorado, I thought it would be impossible to have fun in this town. John did not let that stop him, he made my college experience so much fun. Couldn't have asked for a better roommate or best friend.

Jillian Martin

Bridesmaid

Jillian and I met when we were 5 years old playing on her dads soccer team. We got really close when we had homeroom together in the 6th grade, which blossomed into a beautiful friendship. This girl is one of the funniest people I have ever met in my entire life. She never fails to make me crack up laughing until tears are running down my face. Jillian will always hold such a special place in my heart. We moved to China together for the summer which was one of the best times of my entire life. I am so thankful for all of our crazy adventures together. She is my soul sister and best friend for life! Thanks for always being there for me. 我爱您 !


Lucas Medrano

Groomsman

Lucas is my other roommate from college who has been a best friend to me since day one. Like I said, we lived in a very small town. When Lucas and I would get bored we would go to Walmart, that was sometimes the highlight of our week haha. To say the least he was my Walmart, gym and IHOP buddy throughout college. It was great playing ball with him as well. Couldn't have made it through college without him!

Lauren Buckler

Bridesmaid

Laura and I met playing softball and have been best friends since we were 9 years old! This girl always has a smile on her face and is such a genuine light in my life. Lauren has always been that friend to cheer me on in what ever I do in life and that's the definition of a true friendship. Most importantly, she never fails to make me crack up. We always have so much fun together and I know where ever life takes us we will always be best friends no matter what. So excited to have her as a bridesmaid in my wedding! Thanks for being such an amazing friend to me over the past 16 years. Love you Laura Ophelia!


Brad Smith

Groomsman

I met brad my senior year of college after everyone telling me there's a guy on the football team whose my better looking twin. They must of forgot their glasses that day because I'm obviously the better looking twin...Just kidding! I'll never forget all the football nights we had at his house and you could always go to Brad for a good time and a good laugh. Some of my best memories on the football field are with Brad.

Aeddon Johnson

Bridesmaid

I have known Aeddon since elementary school. She is such a down to earth person and I am so lucky to call her one of my best friends. She is the friend that no matter how far away we live from each other, the next time we see each other it's like nothing has changed. Those are the best types of friendships! Aeddon is a true and genuine friend and I will always love that about her. We have made so many amazing memories together from high school dances, summer camp, college roommates and now you will be a bridesmaid in my wedding. Can't wait for more amazing memories to come. Love you Donna Pecanna!


Nick Bundy

Groomsman

Nick Bundy is probably the craziest friend I've ever had, in a good way! He gave me the true country experience when I moved out to Colorado. I don't have a single bone of country in my body but the first time hanging out with this kid, he takes me coyote hunting haha. I could always go to nick for a good laugh, we had such great memories playing ball and exploring our college town together.

Hazel Roman

Flower Girl

This little cutie patootie is the daughter of the best man in our wedding. We love little Hazel so much and are so happy to have her in our wedding. She is going to make the cutest flower girl ever!


Kyle Lalka

Groomsman

This is crazy cousin Karl, AKA Katie's cousin. Although he may be Katie's cousin, similar to Juliette he is more of a brother to her. When it came time to pick my groomsmen, without a doubt I said I wanted Kyle in the wedding. Katie speaks so highly of Kyle because he has been the best big bro to her. Which makes me even more excited to be a part of his family.

Greyson Vedder

Ring Bearer

Greyson is Katie's second cousin. He is such a sweet boy, we just love him! We are so excited to have him as the ring bearer. He is going to look so handsome in his little tux on the wedding day.
