Best Man
Jeff Johnson, my incredible older brother, will be standing by my side as my Best Man. Jeff has always been my go-to person for advice and support, especially when I need the hard, honest opinions of life (and the occasional dad joke to lighten the mood). Some of my favorite memories with him include crawling through rocks on the shores of Lake Superior, camping at Pigeon Flats, and countless hours of video games (back when our only worries were beating the final boss). I can always count on Jeff for a straight-shooting perspective on everything from life decisions to the best strategy for winning at Monopoly. His dedication and knack for solving problems shine in his role as a home warranty specialist for a leading home builder. Jeff’s unwavering loyalty and strong sense of responsibility make him the perfect choice for this special role. Plus, if anything electronic goes haywire at the wedding, Jeff’s got it covered (just don’t let him near the wedding playlist). If you run into him, feel free to chat about the 49ers, the SF Giants, or how to find great deals. I’m thrilled to have him as my Best Man, even if he tries to challenge the DJ to a dance-off.

Introducing Adriana! From the moment we met in Las Vegas, it felt like we had known each other forever.

If you run into her, strike up a conversation about Half Moon Bay (where she’s from), her favorite travel spots like Saulita, or her recent European adventures.

Introducing Brandon Nevarez, my brother-in-law and partner in crime (figuratively, of course—he’s a cop!). Brandon’s a proud UC Berkeley alum who swapped textbooks for a badge and now keeps our streets safe as an LAPD officer. When he’s not chasing bad guys, you’ll find him chasing waves on his surfboard or perfecting his strike at the bowling alley. Brandon’s sidekick, Miklo the dog, deserves his own badge for being Brandon’s loyal walking companion and occasional surfboard observer. Our late-night bowling adventures weren’t just about strikes and spares—they were crash courses in how not to embarrass ourselves in the presence of serious bowlers. With Brandon’s wit, charm, and ability to keep the peace (both on duty and on the dance floor), having him as a groomsman is a no-brainer. He’s not just family; he’s the guy I turn to for backup when the going gets tough (like choosing wedding cake flavors). Let’s roll out the red carpet for Brandon Nevarez!
