Catherine & Payton
Wedding Party
Gabriel Rodriguez
Best Man
Gabriel Rodriguez is a Senior Account Manager out of Tucson, Arizona. An avid crocs lover, he spends his time switching between leisure and sport mode. “Gabe” or “Gabies” as his friends call him, plans to spend the wedding with his best bro “Little PP”. Gabe is as some call a metaphorical “soldier”. He took the brunt of the Splash Mountain water at night in below freezing weather by taking the front row for Cat. At the end of the day, that’s the way to measure a true friend. Conversation topics for Gabe: Disneyland, Crocs, S&P 500, your taxes, Investment Opportunities, how politics and sports betting intertwine. Bonus Topic: Fantasy football line-ups, podcasts, and the original dance for his fantasy football team.
Elizabeth Richardson
Maid of Honor
Elizabeth is a Software Developer in Chicago, Illinois. She loves gardens more than she loves Harry Styles. Summer heat in Rome? Garden tour. 98% humidity in Hawaii? Garden tour. You tore a muscle in your back on a train? That’s life baby, time to garden up. Elizabeth has a “go with the flow but plan every possible outcome for the flow” outlook on life. She will make sure to have a direct route to Pirates or Matterhorn (depending on her mood) during Magic Morning. You want to sleep in? Peter Pan waits for nobody. She always gets the best food in the parks and will reluctantly share her meat on a stick with you. Conversation topics for Elizabeth: only positive comments on her (I mean the wedding) flowers, gardens, Disneyland, Harry Styles, Youth Lingo, how bad Malort is, why hot sauce belongs in the fridge, and why you’re wrong if you choose Indiana Jones first.
Kona
Dependent - Cannot be Claimed on Taxes
Kona will unfortunately not be in attendance at the event but her presence will definitely be felt as Payton and Cat will be paying for daily boarding in the beautiful Santa Clarita mountains. A location where the minimum home price is $500k. Only the best for this English Springer Spaniel. A blue roan, her breeder called her “spunky”. She bamboozled Payton and Cat into bringing her into their home while wrecking havoc on their lives but leaving her paw print on their hearts. After boarding school, she became a lot better with her behavior tendencies but on a my timeline attitude. After brief medical boarding stay because she felt no pain post-spay, she has come back to “rule the roost” but with “boundaries”. Or at least that is what Payton and Cat say to sleep at night. While we will be celebrating at the event, make sure to raise a glass for Kona, who will not be getting her goat milk, beef broth, or enhanced dinner menus while at boarding. Conversation Topics: N/A as she will not be in attendance
