Melysa & Justin
Wedding Party
Shalon Simmons
Matron of Honor
This woman was in the delivery room when I was born. My mothers lifetime best friends daughter, we were raised together, lived together and often had the same clothes. Ask Shalon how she felt about that. Haha. She’s gonna be stuck with me till the day we die! My ever constant friend, and sister. We’ve raised children, and gone through so much. And so often so far apart. I’m so glad she will be by my side for this. Sisters forever
Sarah Judge
Best Woman
A true friend and partner in crime. Always down for a trip to do fun things or a shoulder to lean on when life is changing. Our life styles and life goals are so in line. I know I don’t have to say much for her to get it.
Dan Beard
Bridesman
Dan is my boy BFF and I can’t wait for him to stand beside me on my best day. He is the person I talk to about everything and have the best time-fishing, camping, having drinks, or just sitting around doing nothing. He is the first person I invite to a party and the last person I let leave.
Fae Benedict
Daughter of the Bride
Have you ever saved someone’s life just by being born? Well, this girl has. If it weren’t for her, who knows where I’d be. Certainly not creating this wedding website! I’m so happy to have Fae, this person I never knew I wanted, but would never want to live without by my side for this. I am so excited for her to finally have the family she has always deserved.
Bruce Hammond
Best Man
My oldest friend. One of those guys that is just so effortlessly cool. Breakdancer, motorcycles, guitar, Ninja Warrior (seriously), tattoo artist.. whatever. If it’s cool, or extreme, he's done it, and is probably better at it than you.. haha. Actually, nevermind.. I hate him..lol
Blake Jiron
Son of the Groom
My oldest. Too much like his dad, in so many ways….content to be quiet in the background, but always handles his responsibilities with maturity a little beyond what he should have. I've never seen him drunk though, so guess we'll find out together in Belize!
Sierra Jiron
Daughter of the Groom
My beautiful youngest, but also my arch nemesis, haha. I'm very proud to see her growing into a woman, with all the teenage certainty and stubbornness that comes with it. She is definitely a sun & sand girl, and I'm glad she can be part of our future.
Anya Siebold
Groomswoman
Anya is one of my oldest friends. My friends circle tends to shift and move on, but Anya is one of the few that has been a constant presence in my life for a long time now. Shes counseled me, stuck by me, and put up with me through a few tough times over the years, and she deserves to stand next to me on this day-of-days!
Zach Ruiz
Officiant
Well, the day has finally come. And after many years of Zach insisting he was not only going to be the one to marry us, he was also going to sing “She’s your queen to be” at our wedding, we are calling his bluff. I am so happy that he will be the one to witness and confirm our legal and financially binding moment. Ha ha.
