Wedding Party

Patrick O'Connell

Groom

Nita Evangelista

Bride

Sean O'Connell

Best Man

One of the easiest decisions I have had to make in a while was who would be my best man. I am lucky to have been born with a brother that doubles as a best friend. Sean and I have been as close as it gets throughout our lives. We have experienced everything from the very highs to the very lows together and will continue to do so. Getting married without this man next to me just wouldn't have been an option.

Krystel Vitug

Maid of Honor

I always called her "my soul sister" because we are kindred at heart- always on the same page and thinking the same thoughts. Krystel and I met at Vylani's Polynesian Dance group practice 11 years ago and have been attached since then. I cannot imagine life without her. Also, she owns a cricut machine and can custom make whatever I need for the wedding so that's a plus. Haha.

Derrick Fort

Groomsman

A soon to be brother-in-law... yes.. but much more than that. From co-workers, to golf buddies, all the way to roommates, a relationship that has been bonded for eternity. Derrick is currently residing in Vietnam, a distance that may keep us distant physically but could never effect the connection of family.

Joana Camacho

Bridesmaid

Jo-Jo, this is my older sister who is nothing less than huge bundle of joy. We did not grow up physically together however thanks to technology, we still are able to feel like we are together and more of a reason to cherish every moment that I can hug and kiss her.

Andrew Weissberg

Groomsman

Andy showed up as a freshman to our high school baseball team and I was the first beautiful face he was welcomed by. Andy and I grew closer after high school as we became travel buddies visiting Europe, Vietnam, and New Zealand spending countless hours together on planes, trains, buses, and vans. We have grown together and supported everything each other have done along the way.

Robyn Evangelista

Bridesmaid

Robyn...she's my baby sister. Not always eye to eye but forever heart to heart. Such an important human in my life and to have her by my side on my wedding day means the world to me.

Daniel Bodemer

Groomsman

Better known as "Bode". Our friendship started back in 2014 as classmates in fire academy. Bode and I spent our single years as roommates in Carlsbad until our house turned in to a constant double date with our now fiancé's joining the party. I will be having the pleasure of being a groomsman for Bode when he gets married this coming July and we will both be able to be a part of each others big days.

Jack Dugan

Groomsman

Jack and I were hired as firefighters together in 2015 at Escondido fire department. A little friendly competition in all of our training quickly led to a tight bond and close friendship. Jack joined Nita and I on a trip to Tahoe early in our relationship and has been a part of our growth throughout.

Ana Lozano

Bridesmaid

Ana and I have know each other for a short period of time but in the short period, I have gotten to know her inside and out and decided that she is stuck with me forever. Ana and I met in nursing school and if you can imagine how important it is to have your small circle of people that you keep close during all the rough times and the great times of nursing school- she is one of them.

Ryan Cooperstone

Groomsman

Ryan and I go back to high school as teammates on our baseball team. I spent countless days at his families home throughout our younger years and created so many memories. Regardless of how far we have lived from each other, Ryan is the kind of friend that will always be there to support Nita and I.

Roxy Driessen

Bridesmaid

Foxy Roxy and I also met in nursing school. It was effortless to connect with such a beautiful soul like hers. She's one of those people that you just know, when you know, that your paths were meant to cross when it did.

Josh Sanchez

Bridesman

Josh is my brother from another mother. He is as sassy as they come however on the same token, has the biggest heart. Just don't get on his bad side. Haha. I can count on Josh to make me laugh until tears roll down my face and this is one of the main reasons I need him by my side in wedding day.
