Wedding Party
Elaine Lopez
Maid of Honor
Elaine is my best friend, my rock, and the person I truly couldn’t imagine doing life without. I’ve known of Elaine since middle school, but it wasn’t until we both ended up at Sacramento State University that our paths finally aligned. From that moment on, it was history, we became inseparable. Through all of life’s ups and downs, Elaine has been by my side. She’s supportive, grounding, and always knows how to make me laugh (especially when I need it most). She’s my go-to FaceTime partner whether I need to vent, laugh, or just talk about life, she’s always there to pick up and listen. She has this incredible ability to keep things organized and on track, often anticipating what I need before I even realize it myself. It was truly a no-brainer asking her to be my Maid of Honor. I can’t wait to celebrate this special day with her by my side... just like she’s always been.
Jamaal Johnson
Best Man
Jamaal has been my best friend for as long as I can remember... really, since we were just two short, chubby kids playing basketball at 10 years old. We used to look so much alike that even our parents mixed us up. On the first day of sixth grade, I was the new kid at school. I was nervous, sitting alone at lunch, not knowing a single person. Then I heard someone call my name, and to my surprise, it was my homie Jamaal from basketball. From that moment on, we’ve been inseparable. From countless sleepovers and late-night laughs, to playing ball, growing up, and partying together, we’ve shared it all. Jamaal isn’t just a friend... he’s my brother. There’s nothing that could ever come between us, and it was an easy decision asking him to stand beside me as my Best Man.
Allie Flores
Bridesmaid
Allie is one of my best friends and truly one of a kind. From best friends to roommates, she’s been with me through so many chapters of life. We’ve shared so many memories so far - the hard moments that shaped us and the unforgettable ones that still make us laugh. She’s one of the most grounded people I know. Her perspective, her positivity, and the way she approaches life with so much mindfulness inspires me to slow down, stay present, and live with real intention. She’s also the person I can go to with my guard completely down; the friend I can talk to openly, take in her insight, and trust that every word comes from a genuine, loving place. And no matter what’s going on, she finds a way to crack me up and turn any moment into something worth smiling about. I’m so grateful for her friendship, and I couldn’t be happier to have her by my side for such an important new chapter.
Isaiah Arce
Groomsman
Isaiah, Zay, Zavier has been my best friend since 6th grade. From getting in trouble in class, playing sports, sleepovers, and parties, to spending countless hours roasting Jamaal, the last two decades have turned our friendship into true brotherhood. It always seems like your closest friends are the ones you spend the least time with. Our life paths have put distance between us but our bond has never changed. When I left for college Zay and his wife Kina were always the first people I'd see, even before my own family (lol). They would pick me up from the airport and it became tradition to either go to canes or a small local bar called "The Hills." Whenever we’re together, we usually end up getting crazy looks for acting stupid, but that’s just us. Zay and I have seen each other through our highest highs and lowest lows, and I’ll always call him my brother. I couldn’t imagine this day without him by my side.
Tyler Moreno
Bridesmaid
Tyler is truly the sister I never had. She’s the cousin I grew up with - my Sims marathon partner and my Guitar Hero rival - and she’s been there through every phase of my life. From the awkward years to who I am today (and trust me, she does not let me forget any of it), she’s been a constant presence. I’ve always cherished the memories we’ve made, and I’m so grateful that as we grew up, we only grew closer. Her wit, her humor, and her honest advice are just a few of the things that make Tyler the incredible woman I’ve always looked up to. I loved being part of the big chapters in her life, like standing by her side as her bridesmaid, and now it means the world to have her standing with me on my wedding day. I truly couldn’t imagine this moment without her by my side as I step into this next chapter.
Korey Warren
Groomsman
Believe it or not, Korey and I actually started off as enemies. He played on a rival basketball team back in 5th or 6th grade — the biggest kid on the court, and we called him Baby Shaq. But my team was too good, and he could never beat us. Eventually, he came to his senses and joined our squad, and from there we became the best team in Southern California. That’s when our friendship really took off. Korey was always riding with us to tournaments all over California, Nevada, and Arizona and during the summers, we were together almost every day. We even ended up at the same high school for a few years. Unfortunately, he stopped growing after we were 12, so I had to start doing more of the work myself. From rivals to brothers, our story could honestly be a movie. Even though we might only see each other once a year now, I always knew he’d be standing with me on this day and I can’t wait to return the favor and be his best man in Spain in 2027.
Nico Essers
Bridesmaid
Nico is the kind of friend who can make me laugh even when laughing is the last thing on my mind. What started as a simple work friendship turned into something so much deeper... she’s truly a light in my life. She’s been there for me and Caleb’s relationship since day one, supporting us, hyping us up, and being a steady presence through every chapter. Whether we’re getting dressed up for a night out or grabbing our favorite sandwiches from a spot she put me onto, we always manage to have the best time. Through the highs and the rough patches, she’s someone I know I can always count on. From her spot-on fashion sense to her thoughtful life advice, Nico has shown up for me time and time again, and I know she always will. She’s one of my biggest cheerleaders, and I always want to be the same for her. I’m so grateful for her friendship, and I can’t wait to see her shine as one of my bridesmaids on this special day.
Austin Brackens
Groomsman
My God brother! Austin and I have basically been together since birth, we were born one month apart. Growing up, we were inseparable. All we wanted to do was play sports, video games, or spend hours in the pool. He’s also the reason I busted my head open (the first time) when we were around three or four years old. When he moved to Texas, I remember standing in his driveway crying as his family drove away, it felt like one of the hardest things I’d gone through at the time. I thought I was never going to be able to play Battle Front 2 with my boy ever again. Despite the distance, we’ve always stayed connected, and whenever we finally get to hang out, it feels like no time has passed and we're back to being little kids cherishing every moment we have together. He's my oldest friend ... its more than that he's literally my brother from another mother and I can't wait for y'all to meet him
Hannah Morris
Bridesmaid
Hannah is Caleb’s sister, but she quickly became my sister too. From the very first time I met Caleb’s family, she welcomed me with open arms. Whether it was a family dinner or a night out with all of us together, Hannah always made sure I felt comfortable, safe, and taken care of. She’s the kind of person you can rely on without question. Hannah is genuine to her core and cares deeply for the people she loves and I felt that from the moment I met her. She showed up for me when I was deep in the trenches of esthetician school, and I know she’d be there in a heartbeat if I ever needed advice, support, or even just someone to call. I feel so lucky to soon have a sister-in-law like Hannah, and asking her to be my bridesmaid was an absolute no-brainer. I can’t wait for this next chapter with her and all the laughs, moments, and memories we’re going to share.
Chase Brackens
Groomsman
My God brother! If you couldn’t tell, Austin and Chase are brothers, and the three of us grew up together causing all kinds of ruckus. Chase and I have a story similar to mine and Austin’s, but there’s always been something unique about him. He wasn't as into video games as Austin and I were, he had ideas for different "games." His creativity created life long memories that only we will share and other people wouldn't understand if they weren't apart of the journey. Even though he’s a little younger than us, he’s always had an aura and mentality that make him wise beyond his years. He's always looking to have a good time and has one of the most contagious laughs I've ever heard. No matter the distance, our bond has never faded, and whenever we get to link up, I never want it to end. Even though we're not blood our connection will never be broken and if I ever needed anything I know Chase would be there without hesitation.
Francesca Braddock
Bridesmaid
Francesca... aka Frankie, aka my woman for life has been one of my closest friends for as long as I can remember. We grew up together from middle school, became inseparable in high school, and have been side-by-side through every chapter since. We’ve watched each other grow, and no matter the ups or downs, she’s always been there. From nights in watching YouTube makeup tutorials and doing at-home spa days, to spontaneous adventures and all-day mall marathons, Frankie shows up for everything; big plans, small plans, or no plans at all. That’s just who she is. I’m beyond excited to have her be part of my wedding. I can’t believe this moment is finally here, especially when it feels like just yesterday we were lying in bed talking about the future and imagining what this day might look like. Having her by my side means so much to me.
Ryan Gil
Groomsman
Ryan and I have only known each other for a few years, we met in Sacramento through his wife, Elaine, and Lauren, who are best friends. The first time we hung out was in Monterey, and I’m pretty sure he was skeptical of me at first… until he warmed up to my charm and good looks. That trip ended up being the foundation of our friendship. At first, we were hanging out because of the girls, but it didn’t take long before we realized we were having more fun than they were. Since then, we’ve made a ton of great memories, from golf courses and game nights to me telling him a secret I wasn't supposed to about a birthday gift he was getting to big life events that brought us closer than I ever expected when we first met.
Leah Morris
Bridesmaid
Leah is Caleb’s sister, and she truly is an amazing soul. She’s someone I genuinely admire for her intellect, her care for the planet and the people around her, and just the way she moves through life as a good, thoughtful human being. She’s one of those rare people you never have to worry about feeling judged by. Even though she’s younger than me, I learn something from her every time we talk. Her outlook on life is grounding, calming, and inspiring all at once. From the moment I met Caleb’s family, Leah never hesitated to make me feel like I belonged. She makes me laugh, brings such a peaceful energy, and always finds the brighter side of things. I feel so lucky to have her as a soon-to-be sister-in-law. And of course, I’m going to need Leah’s zen and her humor during this chapter. Having her as one of my bridesmaids means so much to me.
Jeff Morris
Groomsman
Keeping it short and sweet my dad has always been there for me and played a huge role in shaping me into the man I am today. He and my mom are two of the hardest working people I know, and they instilled that same drive in me from a young age. No matter what’s in front of you, just figure it out and get it done that’s the mindset he taught me. The sacrifices he made for me growing up to put me into positions to succeed will always make him one of my biggest role models and true heroes.
