Wedding Party

Marjorie Jean Vera

Maid of Honor

Many of you know Marjorie as "my Tomato". We've known each other for about 15 years and it's one of those nicknames that will never get old. Ask her to tell you the story at the wedding - it's pretty funny because she calls me Tomato too! We met when working at a hip restaurant in Downtown San Diego. She was the hostess with the mostest and I was a server, always wanting the best section on a Saturday night. Our friendship has progressed through the years into family. Through thick and thin, Tomato has always been there and vice versa. She lives overseas in Andorra now, but no distance or time has gotten in the way of our friendship.

Sallee Landry

Bridesmaid

Sallee and I met when we both worked at Ashford. Koral introduced us and it has been an instant friendship from there. We were always good friends, but it wasn't until we were both bridesmaids in Koral and Troy's wedding in Tahoe that we really grew close. We shared a room in a cabin and would stay up laughing about love, life and what was to come. Sallee's strength, laughter and overall good advice has always been a guiding light in my life.

Elizabeth Sims

Bridesmaid

Liz and I met while working at a restaurant in Downtown San Diego - and we instantly clicked. Her love of art, style and laughter was infectious. We'd laugh, cry and drink wine - talking about boys, life, and anything going on in the world. Things just meshed and it was always the most seemless conversations - no matter how long, how far or how crazy life is. We'd be able to solve any problem together. Liz is one of those friends that sticks, no matter what. She's an amazing soul, friend, wife to her husband, Ash and new mommy to her daughter, Emery Margaret. She's also a die hard Eagles fan!

Koral Ortiz

Bridesmaid

Koral and I met when we worked at Ashford University as admissions counselors. She was brand new to San Diego and I had the lucky pleasure to be standing in line behind her during orientation on our first day. We sparked up an easy conversation and I found out that I was her first friend in San Diego. Knowing this, I had to bring her around town to all my favorite spots. Especially Sardinas. She moved to San Diego with her now husband, Troy and we have all shared so many amazing memories together through the years. I also had the pleasure of standing next to her on their wedding day. They live in Tahoe now with their new baby boy, Gavin, but our friendship will continue to grow through the years.

Melinda Mak

Bridesmaid

Mel and I met while working at Ashford University. I was seated at a desk right next to her and she helped answer the mundane questions every newbee has. She was great at her job and I looked up to her. Today, she is still amazing at her job and we are still amazing friends. Jesse calls her my "ride or die". Mel will be there any time, any day, rain or shine. She is the queen of fun and I'm lucky to have her in my life in San Diego as my social butterfly.

Shelby Kobs

Bridesmaid

As most of you know, Shelby is Jesse's beautiful sister and my soon to be sister-in-law. We have a lot in common, both being the only girl in a family of all brothers. We live a few miles away from each other in Encinitas and also all work together. It's non stop laughter during the times we carpool and travel up the 5 fwy. She loves to test Jesse and threaten him with essential oils if he's trying to be a back seat driver. Needless to say, we already feel like family and it was such an easy decision to request Shelby to stand next to me as I marry her brother, the love of my life.

Heather Hannan

Bridesmaid

Heather and I met as co-workers at a restaurant downtown. I was scheduled for my first day of work on a Sunday morning and Heather was my trainer. It was the most fun I've ever had training for a new job. We hit it off immediately and bonded over Cosmo martinis and the show, Sex in the City. I knew she was a keeper and needed to be my friend. We shared a ton of laughs, nights out, hilarious adventures and road trips for Thanksgiving. She makes a great Thanksgiving Turkey, but I always burn the pie! She lives in Jersey now, but time and distance will never matter. She's family.

Ferly Prado Mason

Bridesmaid

Most of you know Ferly as my brother, Jeff's beautiful wife. I know her as my sister and friend, whom I love dearly. I couldn't have asked for a better wife for my brother and addition to our family. She brings an energy that is inspiring and a zest for life that is contagious to be around. She is my go-to for style questions and will be choreographing Jesse and I's first dance as husband and wife. Ayyyeeeeeeee!!!!!!
