Kendra & Michael
Wedding Party
Alyssa Solorzano
Maid of Honor
Alyssa has been my best friend since sophomore year of high school, 13 years going strong. From the biggest things in life to the smallest things, there’s never been a day day she hasn’t been there. We lean on one another for motivation, support, daily chit chats, tough love and more. I couldn’t decide my wedding venue without her but I also can’t decide a nail color or what to cook for dinner without her. She’s my right hand man and I can’t imagine someone else standing beside me♥️
Aubrie McClendon
Maid of Honor
17 years ago, on the first day of 6th grade, an alphabetized seating chart in science class landed me right next to Aubrie. From that day on we were inseparable. From different highschools, to college, post grad, and into adulthood we never ended up living in the same state but our friendship couldn’t be stronger. She is the closest thing I have to a sister and I couldn’t be more lucky. From dreaming about this day in middle school to now having it be a reality, it wouldn’t feel like my wedding day without her next to me.
Nicolette Younggren
Bridesmaid
Nikki was brought into my life through Alyssa in high school. Nikki, Alyssa, and I spent our time driving to every home and away Mt. Carmel volleyball and basketball games. Nikki has been nothing but a breath of fresh air, a shining light, and a hopeless romantic since the day I met her. I was honored to stand beside her on her wedding day and I can’t wait to have her stand beside me.
Celia Zaharie
Bridesmaid
It’s not every day that you find a best friend in adulthood. Celia and I started working together 2 years ago when I moved to Portland and became instantaneous friends. Celia has enhanced my life in so many ways by being such a place of comfort, someone I laugh uncontrollably with, and is always challenging me to try new things. She came into my life at the most perfect time and I’m so lucky for her to be a part of my day.
Jonathan Mallak
Best Man
Michael and Jon have been best friends since 6th grade. They went to middle school and high school together playing on basketball and volleyball teams the whole time. They genuinely want the best for one another and their 15 years of friendship is tangible when they are together. They make fun of each other and fist fight like brothers but we all know there has never been a day Jon hasn't been there for Michael. We are thankful he is here today on one of the most memorable days of our lives.
Cameron Martinez
Groomsman
Cameron is another one of Michael's oldest friends. They have known each other since playing Sundevil basketball together in 5th grade and have been making fun of each other ever since. They went to colleges in different states and live in different parts of the country, but it is still the same when they are together. Cameron is a truly loyal friend, a great drinking buddy and it wouldn't be the same without him here to celebrate with us.
Cade Keegan
Groomsman
Cade is Michaels middle brother and also his biggest competitor. Michael and Cade show their love for one another by either talking about sports or by competing against each other in... well everything. If you don't know about ancient history, space, every basketball player thats ever played in the NBA, or every movie quote that's ever existed, good luck knowing what they are talking about. A quick phone call between them easily turns into an hour and I don't think either of them could tell you what they talked about. He's kept both of us laughing for hours on end we are thankful he took a break from running marathons to be here with us on our wedding day.
Joshua Keegan
Groomsman
Joshua is the youngest of the three brothers and there is no doubt he is the glue that holds the three of them together. He has the best qualities of both Michael and Cade making him smart, athletic, and somehow more mature than both of them. You can find Michael and Josh enjoying the little things. The best surf spots, burrito shops and pool bars in San Diego. Neither of them enjoy adulting as much as spending their days at the beach, but they both do it for the women they love. Michael has always made an effort to look out for his little brothers, but now Josh is the one who calls to check in on him. Couldn't imagine this day without him.
