Marli & Michael
Wedding Party
Amanda
Maid of Honor
Amanda and I met in 2013 when we both danced for the Reno Aces. I consider her the big sister I never had; she is always on hand for advice, laughs, and some of the best times ever. She helped plan the proposal with Mikey and now it's my turn to use her amazing skills. I can't wait to get married with Amanda next to me!
David
Best Man
David is my cousin, but he’s so much more than that and I consider him my brother. We are 3 months apart and have done everything in life together. And I mean everything elementary school, middle school, little league, basketball, football, summer camps, and high school. He’s been there for me my whole life, and I couldn’t imagine anyone but him standing next to me.
Josie
Bridesmaid
Josie is the oldest of my two younger sisters. She is my go-to whenever I need anything. She's super dependable and helpful. We can literally spend hours texting about our shared love for Ed Sheeran and all things nutrition related.
Sadie
Bridesmaid
Sadie is the youngest of my four siblings. She is probably the funniest person I know and constantly has everyone laughing whenever we're together. You can probably find us watching The Office or cracking up about some insane thing Sadie just said or did.
Emma
Bridesmaid
Emma was one of my first friends in Arizona, and I cannot thank her more for that! I met her through Mikey, who is friends with her husband Buck. She is always there to lend an ear and loves doggie playdates and brunch as much as I do!
Ashley
Bridesmaid
Ash and I met in the dorms at Nevada where we were suitemates. Five years later, we are both going to ASU and are so happy to be reunited. We've been through a lot of super fun times, and I'm SO glad that she is able to share this special time with me.
Sarah
Bridesmaid
We met during my second season with the Aces. You can find Sarah quoting Bridesmaids, which I'm sure will only increase as the wedding gets closer, or making me laugh until my stomach hurts. She's so special to me and an awesome part of the I Do Crew!
Alix
Bridesmaid
Alix and I met when I auditioned for the Lady Bighorns Dancers. When we met, she said that while dancing with the Bighorns, she'd found her future bridesmaids. Now we are both engaged and are both each other's bridesmaids! I value Alix's advice and opinion, and she will be such a huge help with the planning!
Marsela
Bridesmaid
Marsela is Mikey's cousin. They grew up like brother and sister, and their relationship is so special. I can't wait to share this experience with Marsela and have her as a part of our big day.
Brett
Groomsman
Brett was one of the first people I met at Nevada when he was playing football for my dad. We quickly became good friends and eventually roommates. Brett is someone I know I can count on no matter what may be going on and even though we don’t get to see each other as much as we used to I know he is always there for me at the drop of a hat if I need him.
Joey
Groomsman
If you ever need a good laugh Joey is the guy to go to. I met Joey in 2013 when he moved in with Brett and me. We hit it off and became friends immediately. Joey also is one of the smartest people I have ever met and is who I go to with any of my finance questions. Joey is also the one guy that I can talk football with all day and it never gets old. We plan on running an NFL franchise together someday.
Adam
Groomsman
I met Adam when he was working in the ticket office at Nevada, and on the football road trips we would always room together. We had a lot in common because both of us are Bay Area sports fans and eventually became great friends and roommates for many years. I got to stand up with him at his wedding last year and I am glad he will be standing with me on my wedding day.
T.J.
Groomsman
I met TJ on my first day working for the Reno Aces. I guess technically he was my boss but we didn’t have that kind of relationship. We became friends instantly and it’s only gotten stronger over time. I feel like I owe him so much cause he’s always looked out for me. He is the main reason I am working in baseball and is the reason I have my current job with the Arizona Diamondbacks. I can never thank him enough for what he has done for me.
Austin (Buck)
Groomsman
I met Buck my first year at Nevada when we both worked for the football team. Over the years we hung out on football road trips and had some really good times. We lost touch for a few years but 2 years ago Buck and his wife Emma moved to Phoenix and we got to start hanging out again. It was like we never missed a beat. Buck is one of the nicest and loyal people I have ever met and will do anything for his friends and I’m glad I am one of those people.
Tony
Groomsman
He goes by Anthony now but to me he’s still Cousin Tony. Tony is older than me by a year but just like David we were raised together and did everything together. Tony Joined the military after high school so I rarely get to see him but I’m so proud of what he’s been able to do in his life.
Colin
Groomsman
I can honestly say Colin is one of the nicest and most loyal people I have ever met. You never have to question if he has your back or not cause if you ever need him he will be there before you get off the phone. I really appreciate my friendship with him and am happy to have him on my side.
