Wedding Party
Valerie Franklin
Matron of Honor
Valerie is my older Sister, she lives in Chico, Ca with her husband Matt. Her and I have a very close relationship. I know Val will be big help in my design and wedding planning. Nobody knows what I like more than my Sister! Thank you Val for everything you've helped to contribute thus far and I am looking forward to many exciting adventures this coming year and on my Wedding Day! We love you!
Mark Schweller
Best Man
Mark is the older brother that I always wanted. He's looked out for me and my family and has had my back since day one. We've worked side-by-side for several years. He's not only helped hundreds of families find a home, but he's helped my family find home as well. We've shared many good times singing karaoke, playing kickball, house parties and countless vacations and events. We both went through relationship changes at similar times in our lives and have found amazing partners. I credit Mark with giving me the vote of confidence to "put a ring on her finger and make it official."
Erica Lefterov
Bridesmaid
Erica is my younger cousin. She lives in Concord with her husband Lyu, and serves her community here in the East Bay. Growing up we did everything side by side, so I couldn't imagine taking this big step without her! Erica is awesome at party planning and I know whatever she comes up with will be a good time! Thank you Erica for being there on my big day and helping with the process! We love you!
Matthew Hogue
Groomsman
Matt holds a special place in my heart. He is the "little" brother that I never had (in age only). Matt has always been there to lend an ear (or more) when needed. Who would have though that a guy I drag raced all those years ago would become one of my best friends? We've always had a blast whether it was floating down a river (on inner tubes or on his boat), playing basketball, laughing at dumb movies, going to country bars and many, many more good times. Cheers to you, my bald brother!
