Best Man & Officiant
From patient care technicians to nurses, we have had a close bond from the start. Working together in the hospital fostered a relationship built on values, communication, and reliability. Till this day, we remain best friends that are able to listen, support, and challenge each other to become better day after day.

Lyle is my not so little anymore brother. Like all sibling relationships, our experience was not always sunshine and daisies. We had our fair share of differences, have evolved into very different men, but at the end of the day, we will always share a deep, loving bond. Although I am older, Lyle possesses wisdom, maturity, and resilience beyond his years. I am proud of the man he has become and even more proud of the incredible father he continually strives to be.

My day 1 since day 1. We went from rivals to pare's in a heartbeat. Our 20's consistently tested our survival with long, crazy city nights, Sunday basketball scaries, river tubing adventures, or random chill sessions with the brothers. As we have gotten older our friendship still shines. Even though he is a surburban zaddy and I am a city boy, when we link up, we pick up right where we left off.

Duuuuude! Going to the Philippines in 2005 and bringing you back with us was definitely not on my bingo card. But I am glad we did. I had never experienced being a younger brother to anyone and am forever thankful for having a top tier kuya.

Here's the only foo I Eff with. Lupe has been a close family friend for decades and is part of another set of brothers from another mother. Don't let his smart mouth and tough exterior fool you. He can be a pain from time to time, but he is consistent, authentic and has always been dependable. Glad to have him in my corner.
Groomsman
Rafa-He is the second brother from another mother, and has always had a more calm, humorous, and mature aura than his two counterparts. We spent thousands of summer hours as kids playing outside and hundreds of hours as young adults inside the gym. It has been a journey watching him grow into adulthood and like an older brother, I am proud of his accomplishments and forever grateful for his support and spotting my bench.
Groomsman
Finally-the little foo. I've gone from holding him in my arms as a baby, to keeping him arms length as a grownup. As the youngest in our collective family, he has gone through the ringer as busboy, game set-up-er, and family butler. It has been crazy to see how much he has grown up and thankful for his support and equal love for Waka Flocka Flame.
Matron of Honor
Ashley is my cousin but has always felt more like the sister I never had. We've always had a close bond despite a three years age difference. Growing up we would spend summers at our grandmother's playing "house" and I think that may have set up for success considering we became roommates for a couple of years after college. She has seen me through many stages of life and I'm thankful to have her by my side.
Bridesmaid
Edith aka Ani (family nickname) is my honorary cousin through extended family. We've known each other since we were kids and connected more after college. We also were roommates for four years and have created so many memories over the years. She's loyal and someone I can always count on to be in my corner.
Bridesmaid
Mae Mae is my soon to be sister in law! She's honest, loyal, funny with a tough outer shell and a soft caring heart underneath. She's the first one to tell you like it is and is fiercely protective of the people she loves and I admire her for that.
Bridesmaid
I'm fortunate to gain another soon to be sister in law. Lesley is tough and means business but is also sweet and caring. She is the planner/organizer for almost all the Dellota events and I always appreciate all the effort she puts into everything.
Bridesmaid
I see Cindy as a bonus future sister in law (being Lesley's sister) and is at all the Dellota family events. She is the kind of person who immediately makes everyone feel comfortable with her kindness, warmth, and gentle spirit. We share a common love for books, podcasts, pop culture, and Karol G.
Flower Girl
Sugar, spice, and everything nice. These were the ingredients chosen to create the perfect little girl. But Lyle and Lesley accidentally added an extra ingredient to the concoction... Chemical X! Thus, Lillian Jade Dellota was born! She is a dynamite of charisma, energy, sass, fun, and love! We are so excited to have her as a flower girl!
Flower Girl
Joining Lily as a flower girl is Audrey (Stephanie's niece through Ashley). Audrey is fiery and sassy four year old once she gets to know you and a girly girl who knows what she wants. She is also a pro at being a flower girl with our wedding being her third gig. We are thankful to have her joining forces.
