Anaselia & Kyle
Wedding Party
Stephanie Degenhardt
Matron of Honor
I may not have always known who I was going to marry, but I knew it was going to be Stephanie standing right next to me as my MOH. Our lifelong friendship is comprised of countless, small and large milestones that make us who we are today. Our parents met over 40 years ago and I'm confident our future kids will say the same! QUEUE UP: "Dear Diary" by Britney Spears
Dylan Hanour
Best Man
I may have met Dylan on a beer pong table in the summer of 2007, but our bond very quickly transcended fraternity life. Dylan truly is my brother, best friend, and closest confidant. He's been there through every milestone with a smile, smooth reposado, TV show recommendation, and a festival wristband. The Kobe to my Shaq, I didn't hesitate when picking my running mate for this one. Mamba Forever! QUEUE UP: "Wake Up" by Arcade Fire
Nicole Jones
Officiant/Bridesmaid
Thankfully our friendship is much stronger than our Biology skills were when we met our Freshman year at BHS (Go Panthers). We haven't lived in the same city since 2008, but you wouldn't know it because Nicole is, quite frankly, always there. Distance means nothing when you have a best friend who goes the extra mile- literally- to make it for all those important moments- and I am forever grateful! QUEUE UP: "Be Alright" by Ariana Grande
Eric Dufay
Groomsman
From Anaselia's JetSuite coworker to my best buddy: Eric came onto the scene strong in Newport in 2015 and never left! From many New Year's Eves at La Cave to neighbors in Dallas and all the NFL RedZone Sundays and trips to Raider Nation in between, Eric is always game for a delicious meal and always down when you need a good cheering up. QUEUE UP: "All Night Long" by Lionel Richie
Alexa Kheder
Bridesmaid
Despite her small stature, she's a month and four days older than me, is always the last one on the dance floor, is an aggressive Bingo caller, and has truly been there since the very beginning. We're family by blood, but we're best friends by choice. QUEUE UP: "Hot In Herre" by Nelly
Roddy Galli
Groomsman/Brother of the Bride
Before I became Anaselia's boyfriend, I became Roddy's friend - and even hit a Celtics game and had a couple nights out together in Boston! As magnetic as his sister, Roddy is the life of any party, best storyteller, biggest smile in the room, and always keeps the beat. QUEUE UP: "She Drives Me Crazy" by Fine Young Cannibals
Michelle Lowry
Bridesmaid
6th grade Choir brought us together - and it's what has kept us together for more than two decades! There isn't a song we can't harmonize to, an old burned CD we didn't make together, or an inside joke we don't still laugh at. QUEUE UP: "For Good" from Wicked, the "Growing Pains" Theme song, and "She's Like the Wind" by Patrick Swayze (in that order)
Anthony Le
Groomsman
From Sigma Chi "little bro" to big time close friends. It doesn't matter where we are - traveling abroad, ordering bottle service, or crushing burritos, Anthony has always been there to support me. I had the honor of officiating his wedding back in 2019 and now have the privilege of Anthony standing by my side at mine. QUEUE UP: "Bulletproof" by La Roux
Molly Marscellas
Bridesmaid/Sister of the Groom
Best Sister-In-Law I know! Countless festivals, nights out, family events, and special moments have made Molly a part of my life just as much as Kyle is. Now if only I could be as cool as her.... QUEUE UP: "Operator (He Doesn't Call Me)" by Lapsley
Darin Matuzic
Groomsman
Ohhhhhhh Darinnnnnnn!!! Whether personal, professional, or just having a good time, Darin is the man I want to see. Nights out in Newport, days in the desert at Coachella, strolling through SF Chinatown, or sweating it recruiting at a startup - I'll get lost with this guy anytime. QUEUE UP: "All My Friends" by LCD Soundsystem
Liat Peizner
Bridesmaid
Bay Area natives, Anteaters, Alpha Phi sisters, Eight years as roommates, and now Seattle neighbors. The universe has always been on our side, and we've always been by each other's. QUEUE UP: "Neon Lights" by Demi Lovato
Brandon Morenz
Groomsman
The only financial advisor I know who would agree with me that buying Rams season tickets is a sound financial decision. With BMo, it's always championship or bust - Eaters, Lakers, Angels, we can chat sports (or hit up Encore Beach Club) until the sun comes up! QUEUE UP: "Smack That" by Akon
Jessica Strand
Bridesmaid
A lifetime of friendship, martinis, vacations, and annoying each other. An older sister I never had (or thought I wanted) and someone who I'll always look up to and turn to for a good meal or dance session. QUEUE UP: "You Ought to Be Havin' Fun" by Tower of Power
Issei Saida
Groomsman
I first met Issei when I was a long-haired freshman and he was the Sigma Chi president, and have looked up to him ever since (although he is much shorter). Of all the people I know, I can't think of anyone who better exemplifies true friendship than Issei does. Whether it's the latest hype sneakers, Japanese whisky, or deep life advice, Issei is always the one to call. QUEUE UP: "Only Time" by Enya
Ariel Vaca
Bridesmaid
Huge shoutout to UC Irvine Housing for putting the two of us in the same dorm our Freshman year. We decided to double-down and join Alpha Phi together and the rest is history! The ultimate ride or die- the ultimate sister- the ultimate friend. QUEUE UP: "LoveGame" by Lady Gaga
John Skelly
Groomsman
We got close in college and leveled up living together in Chicago. Cubbies games, Wrigleyville nights, spinning vinyl, and deep dish delights, Skelly is electric (he plays one too) and I can't imagine UC Irvine (28th Street!) or Chi Town (Wellington Ave!) without this guy. QUEUE UP: "I Love L.A." by Randy Newman (WE LOVE IT!)
LA Solano
Groomsman
The coolest guy from Palma High, Luis Alfonso Solano II aka "LA" is the longest tenured companion on this list. We started out kickin' it in junior high in Salinas and have kept it going ever since: countless meals at the Solano restaurant, family trips to Ibiza, freshman dorm roommates at UCI, and following his band around the world. From Santa Cruz and Orange County, to New York and Barcelona, this dude rocks! QUEUE UP: any song by his award-winning band The Mystery Lights
