Edgar & Mackenzie
Wedding Party
Krista Wertenberger
Maid of Honor
Krista is the maid of honor and bestie of the beautiful bride! Mackenzie and Krista have known each other for almost 10 years! They met through mutual friends and became even closer after working together for several years at the Regional Center. Krista and Mackenzie have been on many adventures and have endless memories from work excursions all the way to vacationing in Georgia. Krista can't wait to make even more memories!
Alfonso Lopez
Man of Honor
Alfonso has known Edgar since elementary school and at that time they were more like acquaintances. The two would talk on the rare occasion until their friendship truly started the summer before their freshman year of high school. Edgar and Alfonso would go to Miners Park and play basketball for countless hours, playing both with and against each other. They created an inseparable friendship that is still strong to this day.
McKayla Judis
Best Woman
McKayla is Mackenzie’s God-given best friend, her little sister. Being separated by only three years and accompanying each other through every stage of life, it’s safe to say McKayla knows Mackenzie better than anyone. Mackenzie even named her own daughter after her little sister. At the wedding, you’ll find McKayla inevitably laughing at her own jokes and standing next to her sister, as if either of them have a choice. They’re a package deal!
Jasmine Grippa
Bridesmaid
Being Mackenzie’s older sister has been a never ending job (choreographer, tumbling coach, hairstylist, photographer, therapist), Jasmine has done it all. But there’s no role she’s more excited to play than bridesmaid.
Aishah Acuna
Groomswoman
Aishah and Edgar are cousins so they’ve known eachother since practically the womb. They have such a funny, weird, dynamic that no one else can replicate. They’ve been through thick and thin together, sharing laughs every chance they get, and Aishah feels honored to be a part of this chapter with Edgar.
Daniell Lovett
Bridesmaid
Mackenzie and Daniell have made it through many eras together. From college parties and concerts to weddings and babies. They've shared many laughs and a few cries as all good friends do. If anyone plays Cardi B, you'll find Daniell on the dance floor!
Matt Frost
Groomsman
Matt has been around since the inception of the happy couple's romance. Edgar and Matt share many interests including, anime, sports, and sharing wildly inappropriate personal facts with each other. If you've ever seen Edgar and Matt together, you know their bromance runs deep. (So deep Matt insists Mackenzie is jealous). Who knew Edgar saying he didn't have a dad to someone who has mercilessly bullied him about it since would turn into such good friends years later? The wedding day wouldn't be complete without Matt's unforgettable presence.
Hilary Briggs
Bridesmaid
After bridesmaid Hilary met Mackenzie and her incredible children a few years ago, it’s hard to imagine they haven’t been friends their whole life! It was an immediate friendship connection that quickly turned to family. They now spend time together at kids sporting events, family celebrations and everything inbetween. Understanding that our chosen family is the most important, Hilary wouldn’t miss the opportunity to stand by her side on this most special day and for the rest of this great adventure we call life. If you can’t find Hilary, just listen for “Auntie Hil!”!
Kory Ballard
Groomsman
Kory and Edgar met after Kory started his job at the state. Edgar and Kory started hanging out during working hours and Edgar’s dark humor highlighted Kory’s- making them friends at first laugh. Edgar then peer pressured Kory into going to the gym, but Kory wasn’t prepared to begin at 3:00 am. Their early morning sessions brought out the wildest of thoughts and the darkest of humor. Now, Kory is thrilled to stand next to his bestfriend as they both embark on their newlywed adventures!
Darielle Gonzales
Bridesmaid
Darielle and Mackenzie’s friendship started back in 2015, when they were in the same training class for work. Not only did they develop a strong work relationship but a friendship that has been able to withstand some of life's unexpected difficulties. Despite distance, Darielle and Mackenzie have been able to maintain a powerful friendship, the kind of friendship that lasts a life-time.
Cassie Jennings
Groomswoman
The day Cassie met Edgar, she had just clocked out and was telling stories about the haunted shenanigans that happened over her night shift. Edgar’s overly active imagination was activated and they became fast friends. They worked together for a few years in a hard job that forced them to rely on each other to get home safely each day. Cassie left the job but Edgar stuck to her like a stubborn wart, and they continued to lean on each other to get through some rough times. Edgar found a lifelong gym buddy, one time roommate, and a person on the other end of the text message that helps lighten a heavy mood or see a clearer perspective.
