The Manzon Wedding
Wedding Party
Kayla Connelly
Maid of Honor
Kayla has been by my side since birth! She’s not just my older sister, but my best friend too. Kayla has always been a constant source of support, laughter, and love. We share countless memories and inside jokes together. I couldn’t imagine this day without Kayla as my Maid of Honor!
Zach Steinmetz
Man of Honor
Zach and I have been best friends since kindergarten. Whether it’s rotting on the couch watching reality TV together or helping me buy a new car, he’s always been there. There’s truly no better person to be my Man of Honor!
Amy Nunnally
Bridesmaid
Amy and I met in middle school and she has been a cherished friend of mine ever since. She’s always down to hangout or make you a home-cooked meal. Anthony and I are so excited to have her be a part of our special day!
Veena James
Bridesmaid
Veena and I met freshman year of high school. Since then, we’ve navigated high school, college, grad school, and now adulthood together. I’m so blessed to have Veena by my side as my bridesmaid!
Naom Bass
Best Man
Naom and I first met freshman year in Chinese class, and we instantly knew we were going to be close. Our bond grew so strong that we became roommates for the rest of undergrad. In college, we worked out, played basketball, video games, watched TV, sports, and always had each other’s backs. Even though we now live in different states, we still make time to visit each other and talk on the phone weekly—often for two hours at a time—just catching up on life. We call ourselves “The Rush Hour Duo,” because he truly is like a brother and partner-in-crime to me. Naom is one of the hardest-working and most humble people I know, and I’m grateful to have him as such an important part of my life.
Sebastian Santos
Groomsman
Sebastian and I have been godbrothers since the day we were born. Growing up, we spent countless nights at each other’s houses watching wrestling and renting video games from Blockbuster. We also share a love for trying local restaurants together, especially Korean BBQ. I’m grateful for all the times he opened his home to me while I prepped for pharmacy school exams or worked on the west side of town. We’ve been through life side by side, and his charisma is truly unmatched.
Matthew Berger
Groomsman
Matthew and I met in first grade at Christ the King Parish School and have been best friends ever since. We grew up playing basketball, went through high school together, and stayed close even while attending different colleges. To this day, we’re brothers for life, supporting each other’s careers, and he truly embodies what it means to be a best friend.
D’Angelo “Dee” Lenford
Groomsman
I’ve known D’Angelo (aka Dee) since we started playing basketball together at 11 years old, and our brotherhood has only grown stronger since. He’s one of the most humble and genuine people I know. I was proud to call him a teammate then, and I’m even more proud to have him standing by my side now—as a groomsman and a brother for life.
Matt Yerman
Groomsman
One night during my freshman year of college, I heard loud noises coming from the room above me and went up to investigate—that’s when I met Matt, who was watching a Portland Trail Blazers game. From that night on, we became close friends through intramural basketball and many conversations about the Blazers (which still continue to this day). I’m grateful to have a friend like Matt, as he’s one of the most caring people I know.
Markell Moser
Groomsman
Markell and I met on our first day of orientation at Pacific University, and we vibed with each other right away. He became my first close friend in college, and we made many memories playing basketball, going to parties, and supporting each other through the ups and downs. He’s the definition of a hard worker, and I’m grateful to have him as such a big part of my life.
