Sara & Derrick
Wedding Party
Kiara Aguillon
Maid of Honor
Kiara is Sara's Gemini twin - she couldn't imagine saying "I do" without this gem! Best friends for 11yrs+ and these two are inseparable, regardless or how far or close they live from one another. They talk every single day and have helped each other grow through adolescence, early adulthood, and now get to be apart of the biggest days of each other's lives. Kiara is truly a one-in-a-million kind of friend, and Sara feels incredibly lucky to have her standing by her side.
Lara Slipock
Bridesmaid
Lara is Sara's friend group's wild child; their little ball of sunshine. She makes them laugh, smile and always leaves them guessing what she will do next. Her hunger for adventure and travel is her chosen spice of life! Lara and Sara traveled to Europe together following high school and it's anyone's guess between the two of them who is better traveled.
Matt Rockey
Best Man
Matt is Derrick's brother and only sibling. If you absolutely, positively need someone to wake up the neighbors at 2AM, he's the man to call with his love of things loud and fast. Add him to your group text and he will send you pictures of cars that are worth more than most homes. Luckily, his girlfriend Bailey keeps him on the straight and narrow... for the most part. We're excited to have him standing with us in front of friends and family
Chad Sullivan
Groomsman
Chad is Derrick's cousin. A career fireman for Los Angeles County Fire Department and a part time comedian on the side (self-proclaimed), Chad is a proud new father to daughter Paisley with his wife Kaitlin and will surely bring his dance shoes to the reception. He's also actively seeking a partner in a helicopter flight school business *cough* Sara *cough*.
Rachel Cuthrell
Groomswoman
Derrick met Rachel while attending the United States Coast Guard Academy. She's the queen of snarky, but she'll have your back through thick and thin, even while traveling the globe. Pretty sure at some point Derrick will get left at home while Sara and Rachel go explore some foreign destination.
Michele Long
Mother of the Bride
Sara is Michele's only daughter and her first born. While Sara will adamantly deny being anything like her mother, her mannerisms, blonde hair and sass might suggest otherwise. Sara is excited to be able to share this experience with her mother and couldn't imagine planning this day without her.
Grant Long
Father of the Bride
Sara and Grant are truly two of a kind - their closest bond formed when Sara started marathon training with her father. Sara is the first of Grant's children to marry and is his only daughter. There won't be a dry eye on the dance floor or in the room during their first dance. Sara can't wait to be given away by her father on her wedding day!
Eileen Rockey
Mother of the Groom
Eileen is the mother of the Groom. A pillow and candle connoisseur, call her for your next interior design project (so she stops trying to decorate our house). We're so grateful to have her helping us through the logistics of planning our big day. Hope you're ready that mother of the groom dance Eileen.
Kevin Rockey
Father of the Groom
Father of the groom. Callsign "Jim". He's a master carpenter and Chef (just don't ask him to cook the garlic bread). Always the true family man, he has supported us through this whole adventure, even when the Porsche isn't back home before the street lights come on.
James Long
Ring Bearer
James is Sara's youngest brother. Despite their age difference they have a special bond - probably because his sister is marrying someone who flies helicopters (his first love).
Nancy Long
Officiant
Sara's lovely aunt graciously agreed to marry Sara and Derrick, and they truly couldn't think of a better person for the job. Nancy is always laughing, has been supportive without question from the beginning of their journey, and will make the vows short and sweet so that the party can get started! Be sure to ask Sara and Nancy about their matching tattoos!
