Wedding Party
Daae Katsicoyannis
Maid of Honor
The Ferlinghetti to my Nefertiti, the bad to my bitch, the yin to my yang. Daae has been by my side since homeroom in 7th grade when she saw the stickers on my flute case. She has helped me through countless troubles in my life, so naturally she is more than deserving to be a part of the best part of my life. Daae has inspired me in so many ways from home decor to finding a love like her and John <3 She's a true Hand of the Queen.
Sergio Mendivil
Best Man
My brother's alternating attitudes would always have me on edge - whether he lovingly made me food, or angrily beat the crap out of me. I remember him beating me up a lot of times; he used to hold a pillow over my head until I screamed that I was claustrophobic, and he would slap me in the head whenever he passed by. But then I got engaged and he stopped doing all of that. In all seriousness, the one thing that I can always count on my brother to do is make me laugh. We went through a lot of tough times (thanks mom), but he really made life more bearable. I love him for it, even though he continues to question my sexuality.
Aleese Rohr
Bridesmaid
Cousins, but the closest thing to a sister I could have. My Michigan mini-me, but also a wonderful, bright, creative woman of her own. I seem to always be awed by her artwork and progress she makes in her life! I'll always remember summer days of holding on for dear life behind the boat on the lake, and trolling you while we played Lego Star Wars (sorry..)
Amanda Ahrens
Bridesmaid
Best friends since the beginning of time?? Amanda introduced me to many things that have shaped who I am today from gaming to cosplay to streaming. We have such incredibly fun times at conventions, I couldn't ask for a better person to walk down vendor halls with. Now she's walking down the aisle on the biggest day of my life! Amanda is a godsend of a cheerleader - she's always in my corner.
Mathew Reynoso
Groomsman
Rere is the entire reason I'm marrying this beaut. Without him, I would have never met Marissa (no thanks to Evan). I owe him everything.
Tasha Romero
Bridesmaid
Crazy that we didn't become friends until AFTER we stopped going to college together, but I wouldn't trade your friendship for anything. Tasha and I are practically twins (see photo). I've said it before and I'll say it again, it is such a blessing to watch her blossom into such a beautiful human <3
José Cazares
Groomsman
José was the guy that was always up to any task, thus giving him the fitting nickname of "helladown". This guy taught me how to drive a stick shift car, he taught me how to party, and he pretty much guided me through high school. Now that we're adults, our friendship has only gotten stronger (even though our bodies really haven't done the same).
Hannah Wheeler
Bridesmaid
Hannah is one of the most beautiful people I've ever met, inside and out! Working and partying alongside her in college are some of the best times in my life. I miss hiking, exploring, and listening to good tunes in the lab with her so much!
Abel Moreno
Groomsman
Abel's been my idol since the moment I met him. He was the coolest guy around, and a star athlete. I wanted to amount to half the man he was so even having him bless me with his friendship was enough for me. I would've never imagined we'd become coaches together and great friends on top of that. Naturally, my best looking friend has to be with me on the big day. He's everything I need in a partner.
Sydney Wilson
Bridesmaid
A Dal if I ever saw one! Sydney is one of the most selfless people I know and I'm grateful to have her in my life! She's also a comedian and her sense of humor reminds me so much of Nathan's which I think is why we clicked so recently. Sydney and I also share the unique bond of having Yuma men in our lives ;)
Cody Heffner
Groomsman
I met Cody in 2016. He was on a date with a gal, but he and I talked for probably three hours with each other instead. It was one of the most wholesome and memorable times of my life. I don't really know what ever happened to that girl, but I got a best friend that day. I'm happier with him in my life.
Mariam Steinbicker
Bridesmaid
I met Mariam ironically right after SHE got married when we worked at HP together! We grew close through our struggles while working, but I'll never forget having lunch with her and Marisa nearing our last days working together where we shared our goals for the future. She is so supportive, a wonderful chef, and now she'll sell you a house, homebuyers hit her up!
Zach Mendez
Groomsman
Zach and I have been mistaken for cousins on multiple occasions. He's literally got it all: handsome hispanic genetics, dripping head to toe in swag, goated on the sticks, and he's got the coolest family. The only drawback is that he doesn't speak Italian. Whoever is single and reading this needs to lock him up.
