Mikaela & Michael
Wedding Party
Michael Hernandez
Groom
Below are some of the best dudes you'll ever meet. Thank you for being along side me for this special day.
Mikaela Manion
Bride
The ladies below are my best girls! Thanks for saying "yes" to stand by my side as I get married to my best friend for life!
Graham Tenney
Best Man
The groom's best friend since college, but he's better known as the Legend of San Clemente. Arguably one of Cornell football's best receivers to have ever gone through the program. As a college roommate for three years they've shared some of the groom's favorite memories. Although he likes to give the groom a hard time about absolutely everything, he is one of the most loyal friends anyone could have.
Taleen Bechai
Maid of Honor
The bride's friend since middle school. This woman is the most caring person around and feels things so deeply. She's always willing to lend an ear and can empathize with anyone. Thank God for unlimited T-Mobile minutes in high school, because there were lots of hours spent discussing One Tree Hill and homework. She even let the bride live with her after college, and witnessed firsthand the bride and groom start building their relationship.
Paul Medina
Groomsman
The groom's cousin, but better known to the locals as the reigning undefeated 103 City Wresting Champ. He has always been like an older brother to the groom. The two grew up together playing Nintendo 64 all day and hosting living room WWF wrestling matches during the summers. When going to a family party, he was the cousin you always tried to find first to get the party started. He is one of the most fun people and every time he's around it's guaranteed to be a good time.
Kelsey Muir
Matron of Honor
The bride's friend since high school. This woman is loyal, strong-willed, says it like it is, and is never afraid to be herself. From sleep overs, football games, and liking two brothers in high school, to FaceTime shots with the bride before her first date with the groom, she's been by the bride's side through everything. Word on the street is that she's also the reigning darenight champion, so watch out people, this woman is daring!
Steve Castillo
Groomsman
The groom's oldest cousin of the cousin trio, but more importantly the leader of Team Greenlight's golf duo. When he's not dropping bombs on the course, he is serving up your next drink even though your "last one" was five drinks ago. He has always been someone the groom could always count on and is the type of person that will give you anything you need, no questions asked. Everyone who knows him will also tell you that he is one of the funniest people you'll ever meet, and he always seems to make anyone around him laugh.
Megan Espeland
Bridesmaid
The bride's friend from high school. This woman has seen the bride through all her ups and downs, and vice versa. She's the best binge eater and exercise partner, debriefer when something is going on, and cares deeply about everyone around her. The bride has never traveled the distance to go see someone as much as this woman (ND, SD, CO, AZ, NV, you name it!). But damn, it's always worth it!
Sidney Balman
Groomsman
The groom's college friend. Not only were he and the groom college teammates, but more importantly they were locker-mates. The views the groom got to see on a daily basis would make any woman jealous. Don't let that rugged mustache fool you, he is a big softy at heart and he is the type of friend that will open up his home for Thanksgiving and treat you like family.
Breanne Kiker
Bridesmaid
The bride's friend since third grade. Together, these two were the jump rope queens of Castaic Elementary. This woman has been a constant friend in the bride's life and is one of her favorite people to go on double dates with. The two have always shared similar values and make it a priority to celebrate life's milestones together. Anytime the bride needs a cheerleader, this woman is right there to cheer her on.
Emmitt Terrell
Groomsman
The groom's college friend/teammate but is better known around the fitness community as the former 2017 Burn Boot Camp Trainer of the Year and arguably the nation's top physical trainer. Although you might hate him after he makes you do a hundred burpees for a warm-up, you can't help love the guy after spending just a few minutes with him. He is one of the most kind-hearted people you'll ever meet, and he has a gift for bringing out the best in everyone around him.
Amanda Lauffer
Bridesmaid
The bride's friend since college. This woman knows how to party and have a good time. She's also in the same profession as the bride so they bonded over education. She's known to be the person who made the bride fun in college, but don't let this fool you. She's a boss babe, smart, and crazy sports lover (boo Broncos!).
Dominick Solley
Groomsman
The groom's high school friend/teammate but better known as one of Valencia Football's all-time quarterback greats. Although his passes were right on the money 99% of the time, he was known to hang the ball high from time to time and the groom has a scar to show for it. He is the type of person who will drop everything to help a friend in need with no questions asked and is never afraid of a good time. He is also guaranteed to be the king of the dance floor.
Taylor Moustris
Bridesmaid
The bride's friend since high school. This woman is not afraid to share her opinions. She is empathetic, good at checking in with people, and always asks how her friends are doing. She is thoughtful, hilarious, can create the most beautiful meal (hellooo, Betty Crocker), and has the world's best sense of style!
Christian Manion
Groomsman
The bride's brother, but known within his Goldman Sachs circle as Mr. Bad and Bougie. When he's not running marathons, climbing Mount Everest, or buying a new condo just to sell it the next week, he's being the most generous host and making sure everyone around him is having a good time. Although he works extremely hard, he knows how to party even harder so don't be surprised to find your empty wine glass suspiciously full in the blink of an eye.
Heather Wright
Bridesmaid
The bride's sorority little sis. If the bride were to ever have a real life sister, this is exactly who she'd hope it would be. This woman is gullible beyond measure, makes people laugh, is always down to have a good time, and is so thoughtful about those around her. She's in nursing school too, so shout out to those lifesavers!
Daniel Hernandez
Groomsman
The groom's brother, but better known as Valencia Football's upcoming star athlete. When he's not losing in board games and video games, or attempting to be the ladies' man of Valenica High, he is always making someone smile. He's athletic and smart, but more importantly he has the biggest heart. He's the best younger brother anyone could have.
Elena Hernandez
Bridesmaid
Groom's younger sister. This lady is quiet, but don't let that trick you. She is quirky, funny, witty, and smart(er than her brothers). She can also pull off a good sneak attack to bring home the Mexican Train championship during sibling game nights. She's the master of Pilates, bakes the best desserts, and can crack a good, unexpected joke in just seconds.
