Bride
Mikayla is a Speech-Language Pathologist and works primarily with preschoolers. She has a black Labrador retriever named Phoebe (named after a character on her favorite TV show - "Friends") who is 3 years old. Going on adventures with Kyle and Phoebe is her favorite thing to do. She also enjoys reading books on her kindle, going to A's games, trips to Disneyland and binge watching TV shows for relaxation. She commutes for work so she frequently listens to podcasts (mostly true crime) and audiobooks.
Groom
Kyle Bell is a Tire Mechanic and works in sales and service with Les Schwab Tire Center. Just like my future bride does, I enjoy going on adventures with her and her dog Phoebe. Also enjoys playing paintball and competing in tournaments as well as sporting events for baseball and football and spending time with family.
Matron of Honor
Chelsea is Mikayla's older sister (and is married to one of Kyle's groomsmen!). She is a patient care technician at Kaiser and has 2 AMAZING little boys, Lorenzo and Mason. Mason is the ring bearer! Chelsea and Mikayla have had their ups and downs in their relationship but reached their place in life where they consider each other sisters AND friends.
Best Man
Esteban Torres has been the best friend to Kyle for nearly 13 years and been on many adventures both positive and negative. He enjoys playing video games and hanging with friends. Always loves going on hikes and many outdoor adventures with friends. He has a chihuahua name Mickey. Kyle and Esteban first met back in middle school through a mutual friend at the time and their personalities were and still are so similar that they were meant to be friends forever.
Bridesmaid
Francesca and Mikayla have been friends since 8th grade. They often joke (but it's true) that they became friends because Francesca followed Mikayla around and didn't take no for an answer. And boy is it a good thing Francesca was persistent! Mikayla is very introverted and Francesca is her extroverted counterpart! They have been through so much together through the years, have helped each other get through the tough teenage times as well as the difficulties of becoming adults. They have been on trips, gotten through heart breaks, kept MANY secrets (so many secrets that they HAVE to stay friends!) and even shared some jobs (they have both nannied for the same families after high school). Francesca's daughter, Alyson, is the flower girl and calls Mikayla "Auntie May" (an old nickname).

Bridesmaid
Kyle and Mikayla probably wouldn't be together today if it weren't for Emily! Emily is the one who invited Kyle to Disneyland back in 2019 (a friend tried to set Kyle and Emily up before Disneyland but they immediately figured out that they were meant to be friends - they are such great friends that they consider each other long lost siblings!). Emily and Mikayla lived together from May 2020-August 2021 where their apartment was decorated with Disney themed decor and many funny quotes. They also hosted many fun game nights and got a cat named "Figaro" (Pinocchio). Emily has also taken most of the pictures you see of Kyle and Mikayla, she does some freelance photography!

Bridesmaid
Haley and Mikayla have known each other for as long as they both can remember! Their parents were friends and they lived down the street from each other for their whole lives. The spent most of their childhoods protesting because their parents tried to force them to become friends. During their senior year of high school, they both had the same yearbook class. After that, they gave in and became friends! Mikayla was a bridesmaids for Haley when she got married in 2019. Although life gets in the way and they don't get to spend as much time together as they want, their friendship is the type where when they get together, nothing has changed!
