Wedding Party
Olivia
Bride
Olivia grew up in Southern California and moved to San Diego in 2013. She leads an active lifestyle, regularly practicing Pilates and yoga, hiking, and pitching Greenies for Dolly & Delilah. She delights in organizing, whether it's tidying up a shelf in the fridge or fine-tuning a CRM system database. Olivia also enjoys singing, dancing, and binge-watching shows with Mike while simultaneously researching anything and everything she can find online.
Mike
Groom
Mike grew up in Las Vegas, where most of his family still resides. Despite his strong commitment to his family, he moved away in 2016 to San Diego, where he has fully embraced SoCal/San Diego culture. Mike grew up with dogs but passed Olivia's "must like cats" requirement as a devoted animal-lover. He now enjoys the company of two cats, Dolly & Delilah, while working from home with Olivia. When he's not working or spending quality time with Olivia and Dolly, he loves to skateboard, play hockey, and surf.
Mandy
Maid of Honor
Mandy and Olivia met freshman year at UCR and formed a strong bond while working together in student affairs, brought together by Kismet as they were hired for the same jobs (in the same cohort) five separate times: two summers working as freshman orientation counselors and two academic years plus one summer working as resident advisors. Since then, they have had many fun adventures together visiting each other and traveling together.
Bryan
Best Man
Bryan is Mike's younger brother. Mike and Bryan have been best buds since childhood, and they are two of the nicest guys you'll ever meet.
Alicia
Bridesmaid
Alicia is Olivia's cousin, but she has been more like a big sister to Olivia. Alicia is the most kind-hearted person you'll meet, and Olivia is incredibly appreciative of her love and support over the years and now on her big day.
Uncle Rich
Groomsman
Mike is super close with his Uncle Rich. They keep in touch on a daily basis and have a lot to talk about--mostly sports-related... Uncle Rich is a great mentor to Mike and a big part of his life.
Maritza
Bridesmaid
Maritza and Olivia have been besties for two decades! They met freshman year of high school and shared many AP and IB classes together in addition to studying French together all four years. Although they don't get to see each other as much since Olivia moved to San Diego, their friendship has stayed strong and will no doubt continue lifelong.
CJ
Groomsman
CJ is Mike's youngest brother. He shares Mike's (and Olivia's) love for hard rock and metal.
Iana
Bridesmaid
Iana is Mike's youngest sibling and a mother of three amazing kids (including two of our flower girls: Brooklyn and Riley). Olivia is grateful to be gaining not only a sister but also a friend.
Johnny
Groomsman
Johnny is Mike's brother-in-law and a devoted husband to Mike's sister, Iana. When he's not watching the Commanders [not win], he's spending time with his baby Kameron, training him to be the next QB1.
Chloe
Bridesmaid
Chloe's infectious joy has brought boundless happiness to Olivia's life since their friendship began as sorority sisters in college. Chloe's role as a bridesmaid extends beyond emotional support; she actively aids Olivia in wedding planning, ensuring Olivia's journey to the altar is well-planned and filled with fun and excitement.
Brad
Groomsman
Brad and Mike have been close friends since they met as colleagues at Robert Half. Their mutual love for surfing and skateboarding gives them plenty of excuses to get together often!
