Wedding Party

Brad Lovette

Best Man

Brad is not only my brother but someone who has been a very important person throughout my life. He’s been there for the good, the bad, the ugly, we were both in it together. We moved out to California together, at one point having to share a bed at my first apartment due to some unfortunate circumstances. However our luck changed, and we both found our way. Really happy to have Brad beside me when I get married to Stephanie.

Victoria Estrada

Matron of Honor

Growing up as sisters, Victoria has always been a mama bear for me. One of my biggest supporters and always at my life’s most important moments. Even though we are over 10 years apart, whenever possible, Victoria would have me tag along her adventures and at times personal appointments. One time Victoria enticed me with sushi (who would say no) as long as she accompanied her to the hair salon, but she forgot to disclose details, that her appointment was in San Diego (a 3 hours drive from the Valley). The trip ended up being a memorable one though. Ten years later we still laugh at that little adventures and the other silly memorable moments we’ve shared.

Kyle Smith

Groomsman

Blaine & Kyle met for the first time in Palm Springs while golfing. Both terrible golfers, they decided to make it more entertaining. Kyle had Blaine climb a steep mountain at the PGA West where Blaine thought it would be a good idea to swing a ball to the green. Kyle has become one of Blaine’s good friends over the years & vital influence.

Jackie Landerville

Matron of Honor

A typical big sister, who perfected her role to the T! What sisters don’t fight? We were those sisters, always bugging and tease each other. Jackie knew what buttons to press to make me mad or worse cry (she would hide my toys). But Jackie showed her love in her own special way. One time, at our new school, I was bullied by some girl and Jackie stood up for me. As we grew older, the teasing stopped and eventually I was cool enough to hang out with Jackie and her friends in high school. And even though we no longer live together, we always make time to see each other. I wouldn’t trade her for the world, she’s my big sister.

Buck Taplin

Groomsman

Betsy Lovette

Maid of Honor

Betsy is the best bridesmaid any person could ask for. Knowing Besty as long as I’ve known Blaine means she’s been part of many fun adventures. She can really make you feel like you’re special while being able to be yourself. If you ever want to have a fun time Betsy is your girl. It's only fitting that she'll join me as a bridesmaid on one of my greatest adventures.

Chad Steinetz

Groomsman

Blaine & Chad met at an open mat where they quickly became friends. Since then, Blaine hasn’t stopped trying jujitsu submissions on poor Chad. They also share a passion for helping others which ironically landed them in the same industry where they’ve had the opportunity to traveled while helping others in AA.

Scarlet Santos

Bridesmaid

Scarlet and I met at work where we instantly became friends. Besides same initials and having almost identical last names we share a lot in common, from exercise, nutrition, pure joy of hanging out with our dogs, and outdoor activities. Since she started working in the same office, we’ve gotten a lot closer and get to spend time with each other almost everyday, five times per week for about eight hours. And you would think we’d get annoyed or need space from a long day at work, but that’s not the case. We text each other even after working an eight hour shift. She’s just one of a kind.

Dom Flory

Groomsman

Lourdes Saltos

Bridesmaid

There are a few things you should know about Lourdes that makes her the perfect bridesmaid. As a little girl she would tell everyone I was her big sister. Yes, I may be her aunt but we feel more like sisters as we are only 16 years apart. As I’ve watched her grow she developed into an amazing young lady, someone I find dependable, caring, kind and fun to be around. Our bond is special and I’m happy to have her by my side.

Tyler Butsko

Groomsman

Julierose Borja

Bridesmaid

Julierose is the best bridesmaid any person could ask for. She’s my wild flower, my party girl. We’ve known the each other since 2012, which means she’s seen both good and bad sides of each other. But our friendship wasn’t developed like a cliché college friendship, rather we met each other out of desperation for a good roommate. She was a third year at UC Irvine and I was a transfer student. She was the sorority girl and I was the book worm but our differences made our friendship special even if we were only roommates for a year and a half. Now close to ten years, with our busy personal lives and careers we managed to stay great friends. Whenever either of us are in town, we make time to see each other. I never expected to have such a special friendship. It’s the best.

Terry Lovette

Father of the Groom

Melissa

Mother of the Groom

Candy Saltos

Mother of the Bride

Luis Saltos

Father of the Bride

My biggest supporter. Since I can remember my father has always been in the stands cheering me on at my basketball games and the constant voice (in my head and over the phone) to be the best version of me. If it wasn’t for him, I don’t know what my life would have been. I couldn’t thank him enough. As we’ve been preparing for the finer details of the wedding, he’s been helping me every inch of the way. He’s an amazing father.

Henry

Usher

This little man is the sweetest. Not only am I his auntie, I’m also the person he loves a lot. Henry tells all the time how much he loves me. I wish we lived closer to each other so I could see him every week and Board games. We both enjoy them very much. When he found out I was getting married he was ready to take on any role as long as he was part of my big day. That’s just how Henry; a boy with a big heart and always wanting to be involved in everything you do. It warms my heart that this almost 11 year old boy wants to be in my big day. He’s great at small talk, so don’t be surprised if he starts talking to you as he escorts you to your seat.
