Crystal & Eric
Wedding Party
Crystal Peralta
Bride
Hi! It's me! The plant obsessed lady and future bride.
Eric Martinez
Groom
Hello, it's Eric! The leading man of the big day!
Isabella Rodriguez
Maid of Honor
From awkward teen phase to even more awkward adulthood phase - we've seen it all. We used to go to Disneyland every Summer and got into the weirdest situations, I have the photos to prove it. She's practically my sister and I wouldn't have it any other way than to have her aid me in planning this Wedding! I truly believe friends are family and Isabella has always been known as my cousin, but truly she's more of a sister.
Aaron Armenta
Best Man
"A-A-ron" and I first met when we played on the same little league baseball team in 6th grade. We continued our friendship when we entered high school and then into college where we joined the same fraternity. Whenever we have free time and our schedules align, you can find us in the outdoors fishing, crawfish trapping, hiking or hunting. We have a shared google drive of photos and videos from all of our outdoor adventures from over the years that I hope to one day share with my kids when they are old enough to fish and hunt. We also enjoy playing country music and bluegrass together. Our dynamic duo, "The Aaron Ericson Band", even made an appearance at his aunt's birthday party several years ago.
Gina Leitch
Bridesmaid
Gina and I met on a whim during our sorority induction season. With a trip to Michael's to pick up supplies to decorate our paddles, we made a quick stop at the Greek supply store and got into a minor accident... 5 minutes into meeting. That's when the friendship started and followed into matching squirrel tattoos, Rocky Point getaways and a whole lot of fun stories for us to share down the road. Who better to turn to when I am having a mental breakdown or need reassurance that I am "adulting" correctly than to her?
Alex Licata
Groomsman
Alex "Dom" Licata and I met our freshman year at ASU. He was roommates with David and joined the same fraternity with us. Dom and I quickly became best friends as we shared many common interests like hunting and fishing, although his Florida roots did not prepare him for the real outdoors in Arizona. After a short 3 month post-grad stint in Charleston, South Carolina, Dom moved back to Phoenix to be with his best friend, me. Nowadays we try and golf once a week and I usually take his money when we play for money. If you happen to meet Dom at the wedding you will most likely talk about Florida, Ram Trucks, or how he thinks he looks like Liam Hemsworth.
Lauren Konkoli
Bridesmaid
From seeing each other every day in our Landscape Architecture studio, to now living in different states but traveling to see one another any chance we get - this is my sorority Little and best friend. We've traveled, napped, face-timed, and ranted for hours - and still meet up for more! We've seen each other at our highs and lows and have grown from it all - here's to a lifetime of adventures ahead filled with ALL the food we can try!
David Roberts
Groomsman
Most people these days know him as "Amazon Dave", a nickname I dubbed him with after he became gungho on Amazon when he received his dream job offer from them. David and I met freshman year of college at ASU. We lived in the same dorm hall, joined the same fraternity, and were roommates for two years. If we weren't hanging out at home you could find us at Inn N Out, where David can notoriously eat 2 4x4's in one sitting(A 4x4 is a burger with 4 patties). My metabolism eventually slowed but he still enjoys the metabolism of a 12 year boy these days. Although he now lives in Seattle, he was a part of our proposal when we visited him for St. Patrick's day in 2018.
Adriana Hernandez
Bridesmaid
From high school StuGo partners, to world travelers. This girl went to the Dominican Republic with me on a whim and stuck around for another trip to Hawaii down the road! She is the sweetest and most caring girl I could ever befriend and I cannot wait for what the future holds for adventures. I have seen this lady grow from a shy and powerful being to a brilliant and sophisticated woman taking charge to create the life she wants. Adriana also played a vital role in Eric and I meeting, so truly, she is the reason we are getting you all together for this wedding!
Eddie Gonzalez
Groomsman
I have seen the Pacific Ocean and Sea of Cortez wash away this man's belongings too many times. His most famous question in these instances is always "Where's my glasses"? Although I am just an innocent bystander in these events, he has always found a way to blame me. Likewise, I always do the same when something happens to me and he is around. Our friendship consists of relentless antagonizing, to which some would think we are enemies but, it is a friendship that I value and compare to the likings of having a brother that is always there to be picked on and pick on you. He plans on moving back to Los Angeles when he finishes school but we all know he couldn't live without me.
Alexandra Bazan
Bridesmaid
From high school Physical Education and walking the mile, to college graduation, she has stuck with me through the ups and downs of educational stress! It's amazing to know my two closest high school gal pals are the reason I ever MET Eric! Our Senior year of college was a whirlwind of adventures, especially when she trusted me in planning a European getaway to celebrate our final Spring Break of our Undergraduate careers. From late night runs to Jack in the box to trekking across Paris to have lunch at the Eiffel Tower, I think it is safe to say this gal is amazing!
Sam Herndon
Groomsman
We have always teased Sam about being from Arkansas. Sam is quite literally the opposite of the stereotypical Arkansas native. He makes fun of country music and loves sarcastically yelling "Roll Tide" and "Pig Sooie". He also happens to be a great dancer and avid hype-man when the drinks start flowing. Be sure to look out for him on the dance floor at the reception because his appendages will by flying everywhere. This professional and motivated young man also happens to be my fraternity little brother. He recently moved to Chicago where he lives with David. Sam was also there when I proposed to Crystal in Chicago on St. Patty's day this past March.
