Wedding Party
Meghan Reineke
Bride
Meghan is the kind of person who will try just about anything once—which has led to some great stories and a few questionable decisions. She’s equal parts adventurous and go-with-the-flow, usually saying yes first and figuring it out later. These days, life mostly revolves around her 3 kids, who keep her on her toes and remind her what matters most. She still misses her dancing days, a good yoga flow, and riding her motorcycle whenever she gets the chance. The day she met Santos, Meghan was exactly where she’s happiest—riding the twisties up in Yarnell, fully in her element, loving the curves and even dragging a knee through the corners. It was pure bliss and the perfect way to forget about the August heat. Somewhere behind her was Santos, trying to keep up… though at the time, she didn’t notice. They met through riding, but it wasn’t until about 7 months after that first ride when things shifted (pun intended) and somehow everything fell into place from there. In this season of life, she’s learned to appreciate both the fast rides and the quiet in-between moments that make it all meaningful, especially as life continues to be built alongside Santos and their family. Meghan may bring the energy (and a little chaos), but she’s endlessly grateful to have found someone who balances her out and is always along for the ride.
Santos Martinez
Groom
Santos is more of the quiet, observant type—the kind of person who notices everything but doesn’t always say it out loud. The day he and Meghan first met, he was just another rider in the group… mostly because Meghan was too busy doing her own thing to notice him trying to keep up (and nearly wiping out in the process). To be fair, she probably wouldn’t have known if he had crashed or not—let alone who he was at that point. Over time, he’s proven to be consistent, thoughtful, and the kind of person you can always count on. He’s great at making adjustments—whether that means rolling with whatever life throws their way or quietly stepping in to keep things on track. He’s not exactly rushing to a dance floor or signing up for yoga anytime soon, but thanks to Meghan’s gentle (relentless) encouragement, he’s become a lot more open to trying new things (even if he won’t admit he enjoys it). As a dad, he brings that same patience and quiet strength, showing up as a steady, supportive presence for Aiden and the girls. And to Meghan, Santos is the dependable presence she didn’t know she needed—making life feel a little more secure and a lot more shared. He may not always be the loudest in the room, but he’s the one who keeps everything grounded—and the one Meghan is happiest riding through life with.
Paige Reineke-Fish
Matron of Honor
Meghan’s sister and Matron of Honor has been part of her life for most of it—just not all of it. As the older sister, Meghan had a few years of solo time before she arrived, but once she did, they quickly became opposites who balanced each other out perfectly: one leading the charge with endless energy, and the other happily going along for the ride. That spirit showed up early, especially during school spirit weeks, where she never just participated—she committed. Now she’s taken that same energy into adulthood, only she’s the one creating the themes instead of just following them. Now married, she brings a unique combination of talents to the world: part baker, part fitness coach, and fully committed to making life more fun than necessary. Always the “let’s make this fun” person in the room, she has a way of pulling people into the moment—and reminding everyone that if it’s not fun, we’re doing it wrong. She’s also quickly become part of Santos and Meghan’s orbit, bringing out laughter and lighter moments wherever she goes.
Hector Gonzalez
Best Man
Gonzo has been one of Santos’ closest friends since 2013, when they met while serving together in the Marines. Known for being absolutely hilarious, he’s the kind of person who can find humor in just about any situation—and usually does. One memory that stands out goes back to Pensacola, Florida, after a night of playing pool, singing "Tragos Amargos" on the way back to the barracks. That same energy has carried through the years—like another night when they ended up doing combat rolls in the backyard 12 years later and regretting it the next morning. Through all of life’s seasons, one thing has stayed consistent: his loyalty and deep love for family. Gonzo has seen Santos through highs and lows that very few have seen, and his heart toward him has never changed. As Best Man, he’s exactly what you’d expect—steadfast when it matters, hilarious when it doesn’t, and always present in the moments that count.
Olivia Martinez
Flower Girl
Olivia is our 2.5-year-old flower girl and the youngest of the crew—but definitely the loudest. She’s full of big feelings (and even bigger screams, both happy and not-so-happy) and keeps everyone on their toes. When she’s not stealing the spotlight, she’s busy hiding her toddler essentials—like her water bottle—in the most obscure places (check the linen cupboard). She has a personality that’s impossible to ignore and a curiosity that keeps life interesting for everyone around her. Honestly, we’re all just along for the ride—we can’t wait to see what she tosses down the aisle (hopefully just flowers).
Elaina Martinez
Ring Bearer
Elaina is our 4-year-old ring bearer and the calm, nurturing big sister of the group. She may be a little shy at first, but once she warms up, her sweet and caring nature shines through. She’s tough, too—if you happen to see her take a tumble, don’t make a big deal of it; she prefers to brush it off and carry on. She loves pretending to be just like Dad, grabbing her tools and getting to work “fixing” her bed like it’s her latest project car. Whether she’s taking care of her little sister or working on her next big “repair,” Elaina brings a quiet strength and a whole lot of heart to everything she does.
Aiden Bigalke
Junior Groomsman
Aiden is the oldest of the crew at 16 and keeps busy with baseball, friends, and being a huge help around the house. He’s always stepping in with his sisters, making life a little easier (and a lot louder) for everyone. Lately, he’s picked up an interest in engines—thanks to his soon-to-be stepdad—and is always eager to learn something new and then turn around and teach it to someone else. He’ll tell you he doesn’t like attention, but give him a minute and he’ll happily hold a conversation with just about anyone. A great friend, a solid teammate, and—if you’re willing to pay—your go-to guy for pulling weeds.
Mike Pastick
Officiant
Mike doesn’t just ride—he lives by his motto: “go fast.” An all-around good dude, he’s down to earth, easygoing, and the kind of person who instantly makes you feel comfortable. Back in the day, he even had long surfer hair that Santos definitely would’ve been jealous of. He’s just as likely to make turbo exhaust noises with you in the middle of the shop as he is to offer genuinely solid life advice when you need it. That balance of humor and wisdom is exactly what makes him who he is. We’re beyond excited he said yes to officiating our marriage—truly couldn’t have picked a better person for the job.
Misia Calugcugan
Bridesmaid
Meghan and Misia met at Target Optical when Meghan stopped in for a quick glasses fitting—and Misia immediately decided they should be friends. After exchanging numbers, they made it official a few months later, and the friendship has only grown stronger since. From the very beginning, Misia has been someone who truly takes care of her people. Whether it’s making sure Meghan got home safe after a night out, giving thoughtful gifts, or remembering the smallest details most people would miss, she consistently shows up with intention and heart. She has a steady, thoughtful presence that makes people feel looked after without ever having to ask. M&M since 2011.
Saul Martinez III
Groomsman
Santos’ brother and one of the three biggest motivations in life on why he has pushed so hard to break barriers. Strong-willed, fun-loving, and always pushing forward, Saul has played a major role in shaping the man Santos is today. From chaotic moments—like throwing black cats at each other and nearly flipping go-karts—to the way they’ve grown together, their bond runs deep. Just as Santos grounds others, Saul has always been his grounding point, whether he knows it or not. Whether it’s through life lessons or shared experiences, his influence runs deep. He’s not just family, but a constant source of drive, loyalty, and inspiration.
Kristen Ennis
Bridesmaid
One of Meghan’s newer friendships that quickly felt like an old one. They bonded over a shared background in gymnastics, a mutual love for holistic health, and a tendency to occasionally fall into conspiracy theory rabbit holes that may or may not deserve further investigation. What started as casual conversations quickly turned into a natural, easy friendship built on curiosity, humor, and a similar way of seeing the world. They also share a dream of one day owning all the fast toys—jet skis, boats, and bikes—but for now, they’re just enjoying the conversations, the laughter, and a friendship that keeps life interesting. Kristen brings a light, grounded energy that makes it easy to be herself, and Meghan is grateful for how quickly this connection has grown into something real.
Vincent Garcia
Groomsman
Though they met after their time in the Corps, their shared service created an instant connection. Vincent is someone you can always count on—no matter what he’s doing, he’ll answer the call (even at the movies). After some time apart, he came back into their lives at just the right moment and invited them to church, which felt like perfect timing and a meaningful turning point. Since then, he’s remained a steady presence—showing up when it matters and offering both support and perspective without hesitation. He brings loyalty, faith, and consistency in everything he does. Loyalty level: socks fully pulled up.
Marilyn Flores
Bridesmaid
Meghan and Marilyn met through their sons’ little league team, bonding over early mornings, long games, and life on the sidelines. What started as casual conversations quickly grew into a meaningful friendship built through shared seasons of showing up, cheering from the bleachers, and navigating busy family life together. Marilyn’s dedication to her family and the way she consistently shows up for others is something Meghan deeply admires. She brings a steady, grounded presence and a genuine warmth that makes people feel supported without needing to ask. She’s more than just a team connection—she’s someone Meghan is truly grateful to have in her life.
Lawrence "Junior" Mistal
Groomsman
A riding friend to both the bride and groom, Junior is always on the move but never too busy to stop in and catch up. Known for his love of Harleys and scraping pipes, he still balances it all with a “safety first” mindset. Although everyone came from the same riding circle, Junior quickly stepped into a more protective role when he found out Santos and Meghan were dating—famously telling Meghan not to break his heart, in classic Junior fashion. That loyalty has always shown through in how he shows up for the people he cares about. He became family just as quickly as he became a friend.
Tasha Everett
Bridesmaid
A mutual friend from the riding community, Tasha and Meghan connected over their shared love of bikes—both riding Raven Edition R6s at the time, which made the friendship an easy “twinning” moment from the start. She stepped in in a meaningful way during a pivotal moment, offering trusted support with childcare and bringing peace of mind during a time when it mattered most. Through her photography, she’s also captured many special milestones along the way, preserving memories that mean a lot to the family. Her quiet strength, steady presence, and genuine spirit make her a truly valued friend, and someone Meghan is grateful to have in her life.
Karen Mauer
Voice of Reflection
Meghan’s sister and a true ride-or-die in every sense of the word. Karen is the kind of person who will drop everything and make a multi-state trek without hesitation if someone she loves needs her. Distance has never changed that—it’s just part of the story. She brings a wild, unfiltered energy wherever she goes, paired with a sense of humor that can catch people off guard in the best (and sometimes most unexpected) ways. But underneath it all is a deep loyalty and love that never wavers. Having her as part of this moment is a reminder that no matter where life takes them, they’re still sisters—and always will be.
