Mal & Jessica
Wedding Party
Alicia Wheeler
Maid of Honor
I feel pretty lucky to have a best friend that also happens to be my little sister. I don't know many people who can say that they have always gotten along with their siblings, but Alicia and I basically always have! She truly is the yin to my yang. She always reminds me to slow down, enjoy the moment, and to not worry about the future so much. I am in constant awe of her ability to go with the flow and connect with the world around her. She can ALWAYS make me laugh and I love every day I get to spend with her. On this very special day, I am so proud to have her standing next to me. I love you so much Alicia!
Denizce Johnson
Best Woman
I met Denizce in 2016 at a random group movie outing gone wrong sitting at a bar with a friend. She told me she was a flight attendant and I said something along the lines of "That's cool!" A few weeks later, we ended up at another group outing, where we said hi again.... and in true Mal fashion I asked her what she did for a living... Again. She gave me SUCH a hard time for forgetting and we've been best friends ever since! I am so thankful that Denizce came into my life... twice (haha) because I wouldn't be the person I am today without her! We always keep it real with each other and we never let each other slide by. I think that's hard to find in friendships and I'm so lucky to have that with her. I'm so so so happy she said yes to being my Best Woman. Love you Denizce!
Ryan Borgmann
Officiant/Best Man
I met Ryan at a fundraiser for animals (YAY!) where he showed up in a bow tie and I was like, this is my dude! From that moment on, we've been the best of buds. From BRO breakfasts, to prepping for the Zombie Apocalypse (mostly by playing Xbox games and watching movies), to wearing matching superhero themed tuxedos together (Ryan- Batman and Me- Superman), we have just always picked up where we left off, no matter how much time or circumstance comes between us. He's authentic, obsessed with Reptiles, a great dad! funny, loyal, honest, and will give a random stranger the clothes off of his back if it would help them. Above all, he's an amazing friend! I am beyond excited that Ryan agreed to officiate for us! If you don't have a friend like Ryan, you are missing out. #Marshmellow
Amanda Perez
Groomswoman
Yasss Queen! Where do I start? I also met Amanda while working in the ER. We hit it off immediately. Laughing, Joking, and just having a good time. It was always such a fun time when we would get to work pivot together, man I miss that. Amanda is the best of the best for sure. She genuinely cares for her friends and always shows up for them, no matter the circumstances. Amanda’s always up for a good time and going out, but is also just staying in and watching Naked and Afraid on repeat or perfecting the Superman dance on a whim. She's an amazing listener, friend, and co-worker. I am soooo happy to get to share my wedding day with Amanda on my team and am so lucky she said yes to being my grooms woman. I am also excited that I will get to keep her in my life FOREVER! LOVES!
