Wedding Party
Hannah Witenhafer
Maid of Honor
We met working at Chase Bank and bonded immediately which is rare for the both of us so we knew it was gonna be a special friendship. We both were in the growth/transition phase in our lives which solidified our bond even further and brought us both the love of our lives! She quickly became one of my best friends, someone i could always call and go to no matter what. We made it through the single life together, from dinner dates and wine nights/venting sessions to sneaking wine into the movies somehow wine is always part of our nights, that and pickle shots. She is always up for a girls night. She is the most selfless person i have ever met, always doing for others and never expecting anything in return. Just one of the qualities that make her such an amazing friend!
Melanie Torres
Bridesmaid
I got to meet Melanie (Michael's sister) when we flew to California. We went to to celebrate Christmas with his family who i was meeting for the first time. Being a younger sister myself i was nervous because i understand how protective i can be of my older brothers and just wanted her to like me. I remember being worried and hoping the whole way over there that she was going to like me. Thankfully we hit it off and I am so excited to have a new sister!
Siera Elkins
Bridesmaid
We met back in 2014 working at Charlotte Russe a clothing store in the mall. We bonded one evening when i had everyone over to watch the A&M football game. She stayed after the game was over and we talked for hours, that was just the beginning of a long friendship. We became roommates shortly after. I knew she was the only person i would ever move in with because we are so similar. She has been there for the highs and low's of my life and i don't know what i would do without her. She's always there even from miles away she has continued to make our friendship a priority. From flying out for 24hrs to surprise me and be there for my graduation party/engagement day to just calling to check in there is no one like her in this world. She's not just one of my best friends she's my sister!
Jennifer Garcia
Bridesmaid
Our families met 17 years ago thanks to our brothers becoming friends. I have considered her a sister for such a long time i tend to forget we're not actually related. We have been through every season of life imaginable together and made it through the other side. We have laughed, cried, shared fears and dreams with each other and been there for every special moment! Every Christmas and New years our families were together at some point during the day and iI remember one year us dancing in the living room to whoever was performing on new years rocking eve than having a sleeping over. We have so many amazing memories from standing on the side of the road cheering on our brothers football busses on their way to play-offs to standing next to her while she said "I do" to the love of her life!
Ryan Torres
Best Man
My brother Ryan is one of the hardest working guys I know. His persistence and patience make him a great man to rely on. My favorite thing about my brother is his loving heart and attention to detail. I am very proud of my brother and love him more than he will know. I'm blessed to have him standing next to me on my wedding day.
Jake Chavez
Groomsman
I met Jake in high school. It was Sophomore year in English class and I think we sat next to one another. We also played on the high school baseball team. Well he played and I sat on the bench, throughout the years Jake and I have been there for one another and when he moved to Texas we kept in touch. After about a year of Jake being in Texas I decided to come out and join him and through the years our friendship continues to grow. I am lucky to have a friend like Jake and blessed that he will be there on my wedding day.
Drake Bearden
Groomsman
I met Drake a few years back, we were both probationary firemen at the same time and worked on the same shift. Drake was the guy I went to talk about girls, working out, and issues and he never judged or made me feel bad. Drake is great friend and top notch firemen, his ambition and drive motivates me to be a better person. I am glad to have a friend like Drake and wouldn't want to get married without him by my side.
Michael Herrera
Groomsman
I met Michael while working at the county jail, he wasn't an inmate he was also a correctional officer. In a place that can be draining, negative, and lonely Michael always made me laugh. At first it was because he reminded me of a Mexican Justin Bieber, it was his hair. Michael could always get me to focus on the positive in life and allow me to be myself. I always laughed my hardest around Michael and he never judged me. I am blessed to have met Michael and glad to have him by my side.
