Lindsey Jane & Luis Angel
Wedding Party
Kaitlyn Morton
Maid of Honor
I met Kaitlyn, about four years ago my junior year of college. She previously was Alyssa's roommate and they had welcomed me in and we lived together in the campuses appartments; From that day forward she has been one of right hand girls! She is one of the most outgoing and sweet people you will ever meet. She made me feel welcomed in and like a best friend moments after meeting! She is a amazing high school science teacher, and she teaches so much more than science. Whenever I was lost or feeling stuck, she is always my voice of reason. She is a best friend I could never live without. I was able to be there for her and she thankfully has been there for me as well every step of the way of mine and Luis's relationship! No matter what day, time, temperature it is, I can count on her already being ready for walks to get icecream in negative weather, the hottub when its snowing, a moonlit hike, or floating in a pool at 3 am to stare at the stars. Whatever I needed in that moment, she knew just the things to make me smile and I cherish these memories. It means the world to know no matter where this chapter sends me, she will always support me in everything no matter what and I am eternally grateful.
Muwafaq Alkhshali
Best Man
I met Mesho back in freshman year of high school, and from that moment, I knew he was someone special. Eleven years later, not only is he still one of my closest friends, but he’s also become a brother to me. Through the highs and lows, the late-night talks, and the countless memories we’ve shared, Mesho has been a constant source of support, laughter, and wisdom in my life. Over the years, we’ve watched each other grow and change, but our bond has only strengthened. He’s been there through the challenges, the celebrations, and everything in between—always ready with a joke when I need it, or a word of advice when life gets tough. Our friendship has stood the test of time, and I’m beyond grateful to have him by my side as I take this next step in life. Here’s to more than a decade of memories, to all the adventures we’ve had, and to the many more still to come. Mesho is truly one of a kind, and I couldn’t imagine this day without him.
Haley Thigpen
Bridesmaid
Haley is such a Beautiful, inspiring and precious soul. She is also nicknamed "Mama Kensi", and I have known her since junior year of high school! Without her, I don't know if would've survived graduating. Me and her not only graduated together but frequently were in jazz band and were in marching band together with Taylor. I honestly, might not have stuck with band had it not been for her. She has inspired and amazed me so much in everything she does! She was in college courses while in highschool, band AND dance! She now is in college working two jobs and is still calm and collected and looking for another job to keep herself busy. Even with everything going on, she still has never failled to make sure we stay connected and close. She has always made sure even from states away, that i know she would be a first in my line of support from day one and I am so greatful to be able to take the love and support with me wherever i go from this day forward. Having her by my side on this day is a must and I am so appreciative of her and everything she does!
Quan Robinson
Groomsman
I met Quan after high school, but from the moment we connected, it was clear we were meant to be close. In just 10 years, he’s gone from being a friend to a true brother—someone who’s been by my side through the best of times and the toughest moments. We’ve shared more than just laughs and good times; we’ve weathered life’s ups and downs together, supporting each other when it mattered most. Through the years, Quan has proven to be more than just a friend—he’s family. Whether we’re celebrating milestones or helping each other through tough times, his presence has always been a source of strength and joy for me. I’m beyond grateful to have him standing by my side today, just like he’s been there for me in so many moments that have shaped my life.
Alyssa Wood
Bridesmaid
Alyssa,! She is such a bright and fun person with a go-getter attitude. I met her in college at JMU, as a fellow colleague, when I was immediately drawn to her lively energy. There's no one else that would be willing to spend a five hour course every Friday with me and then want to live with me the next semester after! She is the kind of person, that made sure to checkin and keep me standing and confident and moving my feet, while also encouraging me to always say yes to opportunities. No matter the day, you would find us getting spontaneous peircings to trying out the ren fair, or a exotic dance class, while also journaling or bouncing illustration and design ideas at 2 in the morning. She's like no other and she inspires me so much everyday with the phenomenal creativity and all the ideas she comes up with each day. She's stuck with me from then, to standing with me at this momentous day to very likely yelling over a phone call, when were too old to hear each other anymore!
Patrick Ebron
Groomsman
I met Patrick back in high school, and from that moment, he became a really good friend. Over the years, he’s become not just a close friend but someone I can always count on. Patrick has a way of lighting up every room he walks into. His energy, humor, and knack for making everyone laugh have made him a constant source of joy in my life. No matter what’s going on, Patrick can always be counted on to bring a smile to your face, and there’s never a dull moment when he’s around. Through the ups and downs, Patrick has been there for me, offering a good laugh when I needed it most or just being a solid, trustworthy friend who knows how to keep things lighthearted. His ability to make even the toughest times a little easier with his humor is something I’ll always be grateful for.
Taylor downes
Bridesmaid
I met Taylor the first time I went into my new high school school in north carolina, at the first football game. She was one of the first people to talk to me, not wanting me to sit on the sidelines. She offered a pixie stick lol when everyone didn't know what to say to me as the new kid. She is definitely a big reason I learned to open up and be more talkative! She is the type of person to make sure everyone feels included and loved. She and I endured many history classes together and marched together side by side in band. She is such a great friend to have, always up for late night laughs, or early morning beach trips –even if I don't wake up in time lol. She has a kind heart and I am happy to have her as a greatly loved friend and one of my treasured Bridesmaids!
Nicholas Guzzardo
Groomsman
I’m beyond grateful to have Nick as my brother-in-law. While I’ve only known him for a few years, it didn’t take long for him to feel like family. From the start, he’s treated me with nothing but kindness, respect, and a sense of camaraderie that made me feel right at home. Whether we’re cracking jokes, sharing stories, or just hanging out, Nick has always made me feel like I’ve known him for much longer. It’s clear that family means a lot to Nick, and I’m honored to now be a part of that. He’s not just my fiancé’s brother—he’s someone i respect a lot, and i hope i can be a good example in his life and try to be the whenever he needs something in any way shape or form, and I’m proud to call him my brother as well. I’m excited for the many memories we’ll continue to create together, and I couldn’t be happier to have him by my side as I start this new chapter of my life.
Taylor Charley
Bridesmaid
I got the pleasure of meeting Taylor at the lovely ripe age of 11. She’s known every version of me from that moment forward. I’ve got to see her grow up and I knew she was someone real special when she stood by me no matter how I changed as I grew into the person I am now. No matter what, even when we had disagreements, she was always around the corner to keep me on my feet and drop everything to be there for me. She might as well have been there my whole life with the amount of support she has given me. Through moments as the new girl, to holding me up with love when I was heartbroken, then to being the reason I’m laughing until Im red in the face. She is one to always be there through and through and be prepared for all the highs and lows . I cannot be grateful enough for the minor and major moments she has graced me with and all the cherished memories she’s been apart of. I am absolutely astonished at just how long we’ve been so close and just how many chapters we have shared in life and truly she is basically family to me and I can’t wait for her to stand beside me at yet another major event in my life.
Carlos Colon-Pagan
Groomsman
Over the years, we’ve built a bond based on shared experiences, laughs, and countless late-night funny moments, from going to MC' Donalds at 3;00 am to piss everyone off to driving to a party 4 hours away in the wrong day,He's not just a friend he became a brother, and we have nothing but cool stories and funny moments. having Carlos as a groomsman means more than just celebrating a big day. It’s a recognition of the friendship we've built—one that’s grown stronger with time and will continue to do so in the years to come. I’m proud to have him as part of this special moment in my life, and I can’t think of anyone better to stand beside me on my wedding day.
Angelina Guzzardo
Bridesmaid
Angelina, angie, my always beautiful baby sister. Even with some ups and downs as sisters normally do, from a very young age, she has been a constant partner in crime. From playing hide and seak in closets as she says "sss" rather than shhh, playing waterslide on our shared room's floor, to spitting boba bubbles at the wall to see them stick and see if we'd get away with it. She has followed me and supported me, in every decision, no matter how silly it may sound to her; I know I have her support, in all seriousness, even if she may not full agree all the time, I am certain I will turn and see her standing behind me every single time. In the end, she always loves me for me, as I love her; she makes sure to let me know constantly and I cant live a day without her love and support.
Joshua Hopkins
Groomsman
Josh is one of those rare friends who doesn’t just make you laugh—he makes you feel like you’ve got a built-in big brother who’s always there to back you up. His humor is infectious, and I’m pretty sure half of the best memories I have with him involve me laughing until my sides hurt. He’s the kind of guy who can turn any situation into something fun, and his ability to crack a joke at just the right moment is legendary. But underneath all that humor is a heart of gold. Having Josh by my side as a groomsman is something I’m incredibly grateful for. He’s not just a friend, but a brother in every sense of the word, and I’m lucky to have him standing with me on one of the most important days of my life.
Dulce Flores
Bridesmaid
Dulce is one of those people that radiates joy and life. She is Luis's beautiful younger sister. Though she will now be an official new sister of mine, she has welcomed me in from day one. There's not a day she has let me feel out of place or awkward; welcoming me in as a close friend with wide open arms. Only now I can call her a sister for real. She is someone who you can loose track of time with and suddenly hours have passed and you are still in the same spot giggling over the same topic and not a care in the world. She may be Luis's sister, but she is someone, I would know would be down to talk about anything and everything and make even the smallest things a fun time full of giggles and smiles. She is way more of a sister to me, way beyond it being official, she is a never-ending friendship that i will now always have!
Justin Phillips
Groomsman
I may not have known Justin for long, but in the time we've been friends, he’s proven himself to be one of the most genuine and reliable people I know. It’s crazy to think we only met recently in the last years, yet it feels like we’ve been friends for much longer. From the get-go, Justin’s energy and authenticity made it easy to connect, and since then, he’s become someone I can always count on.
Deborah Jones
Lady in blue
My lady in blue! Deborah, know as "Debbie", is my Strong and beautiful older sister. She was always a best friend, more than a sister. We would fight like sisters do every so often, but I knew even when she was mad at me, she would always be a step behind; open to give me the advice I was afraid to ask for. She is always pushing me to be better; Pushed me to be more confident in myself and taught me how to stand up for myself every day without fail. She means the world to me and inspires me everyday! She followed her dreams no matter what people around her thought, first, finding the love of her live and having a beautiful family of three kids! To now, she is on her way, only breaths away from becoming the nurse she has been wanting to be from when we were kids! She's managing this, while raising her children, gracefully. I have always looked up to her, and even though we're only under 2 years apart, she is one of my heroes. Which is why, I want her to still be treasured on our special day! She means the world to me and somehow has always made effort everyday in her big schedule for me so i can't think of another way then having her as one of my "something blue"s!
Bethany Jones
Baby in Bloom
The baby in Bloom or Flower girl is my Beautiful and absolutely amazing in every way, neice! She is the second daughter of Debbie and David and I of course absolutely love her to peices! Bethany is by far the biggest bundle of joy Ive ever met. She is already beyond her 4 years and is so sweet. She's Intelligent, Creative and such a free spirited child. She is so gifted in everything she does and i like to think she actually was a literal birthday gift since she is born the same day as me; so we are birthday buddies!
