Chelsea & Joshua
Wedding Party
Alyssa Thompson
Matron of Honor
This cousin is the next best thing to a sister that an only-child could ask for! My older cousin Alyssa has been such an amazing role model for me my whole life and asking her to be my Matron of Honor was one of the easier decisions while wedding planning! She is a super-mom to 4 beautiful children, an amazing wife, and manages an incredible home! We went to high school and college together where we were not just cousins but sorority sisters too! While in the library at Sonoma State, circa 2010, she was the one to introduce Josh and I, little did she know she was introducing me to my person! I am beyond thankful for her and couldn't imagine my wedding day without her by my side!
Cody Connal
Best Man
Started out sharing a room together sophomore year of college and turned into one of the best friendships anyone could ever ask for. It's true what they say...you really can meet your best friend in college. Cody and I have been through it all and I couldn't imagine anyone else up there by my side.
Chelsie Pina
Bridesmaid
My ride-or-die, my twin, my sister from another mister. We were introduced to each other in high school at cheerleading tryouts and I swear all the coaches had to say was, "Chelsea, this is Chelsie" and that's all we needed to be the best of friends! We quickly discovered we have the same first and middle name and have been twinning ever since. We have been planning this day since before there was even a groom involved so naturally I couldn't do this without her!
Anton Matulic
Groomsman
What can I say, college gave me multiple best friends. I met Anton when he came over to Cody and I's house for my bday party sophomore year; he fell asleep on the living room couch and never left. Another friendship I cherish from college, this guy has always been there for me during my good times and bad.
Jackie Ritter
Bridesmaid
I couldn't ask for a better supporter in a friend, this girl is my Hype woman! College roommates turned besties, then chased our dreams of living in NYC together the past three years. She is not only one of my best friends but one of Josh's too, so she's an extra special one! Being a New Yorker, she was privy to being the only other person to attend the actual proposal. She has been a part of many special moments in our lives and I couldn't dream of doing this without her with us!
Michael Booz
Groomsman
Michael, or "Booz" as we liked to call him in college, was the businessman of the group. He was our college fraternity president, brought two of the biggest Bay Area hip hop artists to Sonoma State, and threw some pretty good parties. I swear this man is going to be the future CEO of a Fortune 500 company. Good to have Mike in your corner.
Lauren Andres
Bridesmaid
Lauren and I met in college as young freshman just pledging a sorority. We became fast friends and were rarely unseen together on a night out. We bonded over hair, makeup, and all the girly things but we can probably agree our unhealthy obsession with our queen Kim K is what sealed the deal. She is the friend that will stick up for you and have your back but will also tell you the truth...a real one.
Tyler Cornish
Groomsman
Tyler and I met while pledging a fraternity in college. If you needed a good laugh to get your spirits up, he was the guy go to. Always bringing the best jokes to the party! I knew I wanted this guy to be a part of my wedding day when we were pledge bros and now that day is finally here!
Theresa Meyer
Bridesmaid
We met freshman year through a mutual friend and ended up living together for 3 years during college. She's my adventurous, spontaneous, down to ride friend that keeps things interesting! We have partied together, had countless movie nights and endless heart to hearts. I can always count on her for an ear to listen and to support me with Godly advise & knowledge. She inspires me to be myself by being uniquely her!
Tommy Mead
Groomsman
Another one of my roommates from college, Tommy was my go to music man. He always had new music on deck every time we got home from class. We even enjoyed a Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons concert together.
Danielle Roybal
Bridesmaid
This is my Lady! We met in college through Josh's fraternity and grew close quick. I guess we weren't spending enough time together because I then helped get her a job where I was working! She is currently living across the world in New Zealand and an accomplished traveler for such a young woman. We have been to several new places together and she's the best travel companion & house guest. We have many memories across the country & I look forward to taking them international in the future. She is an amazing friend that will ride 'till the wheels come off and I am so thankful for her!
Zac Chierici
Groomsman
Was the first friend I made Day 1 of Kindergarten and has had my back ever since. From getting matching face paint designs at the Fog Fest in Pacifica to being up there with me on my big day. Best friend for life!
Melissa Aguilar
Bridesmaid
My A1 since Day 1. Melissa and I have been friends almost our whole lives, our moms took us to the same daycare before we were even old enough to go to preschool. She moved away when we were in elementary school and our moms did their best to keep us connected. We went to every birthday party or special event of each others we could despite the distance. Now that we've grown and entered adulthood, we are creating new memories, like her creating and bringing life into the world! This is the childhood friend I don't have to talk to all the time but know she's always going to be one of my best best friends!
Aaron Diaz
Groomsman
Met this guy before college even started at freshman orientation where I dared him to go compliment this pretty girl who just so happened to be my future wife...talk about a small world.
Marissa Morin
Bridesmaid
Marissa was my neighbor freshman year of college in the dorms. We were instant friends and became roommates our junior year. This girl is the root of my absolute obsession with the t.v. show F.R.I.E.N.D.S. so you can thank her for that! She moved to the east coast and as I later lived in NYC, I was able to reconnect with her and create even more amazing memories with her on that side of the country. I am beyond happy that she is in my life and we have this understanding/forgiving, amazing & evolving friendship.
Ricky Solomon
Groomsman
Slick Rick was my pledge class president freshman year of college. He was the one that led my brothers and I through some tough times and is someone I could rely on in a difficult situation. He is another person you want in your corner.
Reese & Brooke Thompson
Flower Girl
Reese & Brooke are two amazing little girls Chelsea is proud to call her cousins. They are beautiful, smart and silly girls we are so thankful to watch grow. We can always count on these girls for a laugh or smile to brighten our day. We look forward to seeing how cute they will be on our special day and thrilled they are a part of it!
Aidan Benvenuto
Ring Bearer
Aidan is Josh's nephew and godson who will have the important job of delivering the rings down the aisle. He is funny, a good brother and loves Spiderman! This kid says some funny stuff & we can always count on a giggle when we facetime him. We cant wait to see him in his little tux and are so happy he could join us on our special day!
