Bride
Groom
aka Mikey
Maid of Honor
We met working the summer season at a tourist restaurant in Santa Cruz and bonded through the shared trauma of food service. Sophie is as ambitious as she is fun, loves a spicy bloody mary, and is always down to go on a cruise.
Best Man
"Fútbol is life" is his motto, a movie/show buff, and a video game aficionado (especially Pokémon). We're very similar and some may even say we look too similar. Known him all my life and share countless adventures together. He's the best teammate and best brother one can ever ask for.
Maid of Honor
We bonded in graduate school over matching taco cat socks and quickly realized we had more in common than excellent footwear. From backpacking adventures to supporting each other through grad school and beyond, she’s been there every step of the way.

Life long soccer player and fan (go Manchester United!), dog father of 2, a movie/show buff (especially OnePiece), and Pokémon aficionado. Known him all my life; biologically he's my cousin but in reality he's my brother.

Sports aficionado (especially football & fútbol), fellow DnD comrade, and father of Gigi. Long time close friend (17+ years) and soccer teammate. We continue being close friends on/off the field and while slaying the occasional dragon.
Mother of the Bride
From long drives to big sur, baking Christmas cookies, to crafting all my halloween costumes by hand, these childhood memories with my mom defined my greatest loves: food, nature, and DIY projects. Kim is a compassionate person whose greatest joys come from making those around her smile. She's taught me many lessons about love, patience, and celebrating the small wins in life.

Father of the Bride
From playing video games with me as a kid to taking me to 80s concerts as a teen, many of my interests were shaped my childhood memories with my dad. David loves to take walks by the ocean, analyze cat behavior, and appreciate unlikely animal friendships. He has taught me about the importance of always having a plan, and to ALWAYS bring a jacket whenever I leave the house.
Father of the Groom
Mi querido padre. Me enseñastes los caminos de la vida y sigues siendo el mejor papá. Miguel es un hombre muy cariñoso y respetuoso.

Officiant
Megan’s aunt and Kim’s sister, Marlene has always been like a second mom to Megan. Marlene got to know Mikey while we all lived in Santa Cruz, when we hosted socially distanced happy hours every Friday in the backyard in covid times. Marlene is the life of the party, a wine aficionado, and inspires everyone around her to make the most of life.
