Wedding Party
Michael Mathews
Best Man
When I was about 8 years old, Michael was one of the first kids I met when I transferred to Quail Glen Elementary School. Ever since then we grew up together being on the same team or against each other in Baseball, Soccer, Basketball and Football. To this day in my opinion, Michael is one of the best athletes that I have ever seen and inspired me to always give my best effort in any sport. There was one sport that I enjoyed the most with Mike though and that was the sport of Paintball. Every weekend we would get some of our closest buddies and have our folks drive us up to the nearest fields in the Sacramento area. It was probably the best time of my life and I will never forget it.
Joelle Frechou-Vieira
Maid of Honor
I met Joelle 15 years ago in 5th grade. I was new to the Roseville area and she quickly became one of my closest friends and eventually a sister. Joelle is always there when I need to vent and is always ready to give advice when it is needed. I can always count on her for an honest opinion especially when it comes to Wedding planning. From our first concert (Jonas Brothers, don't judge!), to camping in Tahoe with my crazy family, and sitting next to each other on graduation day, she has been with me through it all and I am so honored to have her by my side on my wedding day! I'm so thankful to have her helping me through everything!
Eric Macias
Groomsman
Eric and I met around our Junior year in High School through some mutual friends. I was fairly new to computers around this time of my life and loved playing PC games. Once I found out Eric knew how to build one of his own....lets just say it didnt take long till we were making our parents mad that we were still up at five in the morning playing games and yelling at each other ! Putting the nerd gamer stuff aside, Eric has to be what I call the modern "James Bond", being very Intelligent, stylish and able to keep his cool/calm when times are rough. He has been one of the most loyal friends that ive ever come across of.
Nancy Baldwin
Bridesmaid
Nancy and I met about 5 years ago and I must say I'm so glad Eric met her because this allowed us to be really good friends! I was even more glad when she started playing games online with all of us and I wasn't the only girl anymore (Thank god!) even though she was so much better at every game (LOL). We became closer friends and I could trust this girl with anything. It also makes me feel a lot better knowing that I'm not the only one who gets crazy Disneyland withdrawals! I look forward to continuing our double date nights and nerdy game get togethers!
Mike Hartsock
Groomsman
Without Mike in my life, I wouldn't have a beastly Ford Raptor sitting in front of my house. This guy knows the inside and outs of trucks man its crazy... i mean hitting a jump at 90mph in a five thousand pound truck crazy! Mikes the brother I never had. I feel he has made me and my sister Deanna's relationship closer then it has ever been throughout our lives growing up together. We have gone on many offroad and camping trips and introduced me to there friends and family who I know also consider my own. Im so grateful to have you as my brother in law and hope to have more adventures in the future.
Deanna Hartsock
Bridesmaid
5 years ago I didn't realize that I would not only meet the man of my dreams but a sister as well! Deanna has felt like a sister to me from the start. She is always there to listen when I needed to talk and is always down for fun even if that means shopping until morning on black Friday (with Dutch Bros in hand of course). I love that I got to be apart of your big day and now she get to be apart of ours. I look forward to more off-roading adventures and even some more line dancing nights with this girl!
Brandon Mccombs
Groomsman
I first met Brandon at one of my first jobs out of culinary school, Gordon Biersch. Brandon basically took me under his wing when I first started out and we ended up becoming great friends. Brandon is always doing something though let me tell you. Almost everyday its something new, one day he hits me up asking if I want to disc golf, next day hey man lets hit the river and jump some rocks, next day lets hit up a metal show tonight! Without this guy, I would probably not have experienced more to life then playing some video games. He has definitely inspired me to do more in life than to work a 9-5 and repeat the same boring day over and over again. Also probably the best disc golf player ive ever seen!!!
Marissa Rindels
Bridesmaid
Marissa and I met in 5th grade. She is one of the most caring, kindhearted people I know and we instantly became friends. Through middle school and high school and of course college we've created so many memories, like camping in her backyard for her birthday (even though we struggled to actually put the tents up), watching the Bachlor like every week while drinking wine and talking about life, and celebrating her big day! She is always there when I need a friend and is always down for a girls night when it is needed most. I'm so glad to get to have you up there with me on my big day!
Cole McNamee
Groomsman
If it wasn't for Eric I would have never met his cousin Cole who has turned out to be a fellow Norwegian from ND. For the first couple years, I had never actually met Cole in person as he lived in another state but is now stationed here in Fairfield, CA. Since then, Eric and I have shown him a little of what its like down here in Cali! I love this guy like hes one of my own cousins and look forward to more adventures with him.
Brittany Shields
Bridesmaid
Brittany and I met about 9 years ago in World History sophomore year. We got to sit next to each other pretty much the whole year and it really developed our friendship. Over the course of high school we became best friends. I enjoy our mall trips, singing Celine Dion as loud as we can(we are amazing singers) and going to the lake on random days off during the summer. I'm so proud of her accomplishments and how far she's gotten through school! I'm glad she's able to stand up there with me on my special day!
Matthew Groom
Groomsman
Matt is what I like to call my best friend in our family. I have looked up to him ever since I was little and have always come to him when I need help and/or advice. Everything that Matt did, I wanted to do. If it was playing games all night with friends or riding skateboards off sweet jumps, to even making me think its a good idea to take a raft down a PG&E water canal with no consequences!!! Yea that was one for the books for sure. I love Matt to death and hope I can be half the man he is someday.
Celeste Trevino
Bridesmaid
I first met Celeste when working at Macy's. We both worked in the Women Shoes department. I must say working with Celeste made work actually enjoyable (even though it was still retail)! I'll never forget the random naps she'd insist on taking in the stockroom and randomly trying on shoes just because we could (though we probably spent way too much doing so). Though we don't work together anymore we still managed to keep our friendship going strong. I can always count on this girl for happy hour and or getting me out every once in a while!
