Pablo & Tori
Wedding Party
Nate Helder
Best Man
Pablo took Nate under his wing despite Nate's overly preppy fashion sense and surfer hair in 2016... Little did they know how much they would have in common. Together they share a love (obsession) with Lakers Basketball and all things college football.. especially when their teams continue to break their hearts! (Heartbreak Hogs... Go Big Red!!) In college Nate was really good at persuading Pablo to go out on the weekdays-- repeatedly calling Pablo 'old man' until he caved. Lucky for Tori & Pablo.. Nate & Sam bought a house in North KC. Together they hang out at the pool or grab dinner and drinks, followed by more drinks at Nate's and against Tori & Sam's wishes.... WATCHING SPORTS!
Paige Clark
Bridesmaid
Paige and Tori have followed each other around since 2016. They ended up at a ‘quad kegger’ together sophomore year of college and have been inseparable since then! Together they have worked at Rib Crib, been Parole Officers and now are working in HR together.. see what I mean? Inseparable. Paige and Tori enjoy all the same morbid things, questionable humor & planning each others weddings!
Blake Heriford
Groomsman
When Blake rushed Sig Ep in fall 2013, Pablo knew this was a guy he could easily manipulate-- Boy was he right. Pablo was Blake's wingman, apparently he was good at it. Their most memorable, or not so memorable nights together were Sig Eps Stoplight Party, PCB Spring Break 2015 and the year Blake lived at the frat. (Don't hesitate to ask them about these things... they'll try to remember what they can) Fast forward to March 2019, Blake told Pablo him and Jayna were going on vacation.. Pablo said "don't do anything stupid." and he came back engaged. Then June 2021 Pablo told Blake him and Tori were going on vacation.... Blake said "I told you not to do anything stupid." ...When they got engaged. Despite being a Cowboys fan Blake is still one of Pablo's best friends!
Sabrina Terrell
Bridesmaid
Sabrina and Tori have been friends since their days in the sorority— before they got kicked out together (but that’s a story for another day) Sabrina is one of Tori’s most influential friends, together they became the planning duo of the friend group, from birthday trips to creating the infamous ‘unformal’ for their college friend group!
Graham Godfrey
Groomsman
Like all good things this friendship took time to mature and get to the point it is now. Pablo met Graham through the fraternity, Pablo's favorite memory with Graham was Spring Break 2016, in Gulf Shores. This was when Graham spent time in the slammer & met his future wife (but more on that later) After the week in Gulf Shores the influence and friendship Pablo had with Graham slowly grew. As the time passed Pablo gave Graham Date Party advice that would lead to so much more and talked Graham into having a little too much fun (on several occasions) Fast forward to 2019, Pablo's biggest influence on Graham was helping Kelsey convince him to move to KC. Now The Godfrey household is like our own, we often invite ourselves over without warning!
Taylor Proud
Bridesmaid
Taylor and Tori became friends in college— when Tori asked Taylor “when did we become friends?” Her response was “Legit I don’t know” Regardless they have been a reckless duo since about 2016, together they love to go to red dirt concerts where they drink Miller Lite (with a lime) and Patron shots.
Zach Osbern
Groomsman
Many people wont know this but Pablo was actually a Mentor to Zach in College through the fraternity so from Day 1 they had a great friendship. In their early college days Zach & Pablo were either taking it easy and not drinking or completely blacking out. On the days and nights where they would go all out you could usually find Zach with his shirt off while Pablo was pouring a beer into his mouth from the second floor of Sig Ep. From the Fraternity days, to both living in KC, to Zach's wedding (where Pablo accidentally caught the garter) and all the bachelor parties in between Zach is the kind of guy that if you need him he will be there! *not pictured* Pablo and Zach's "Dad" shoes, which will most likely make an appearance on 10/29 as well
Lauren Bever
Bridesmaid
Lauren holds a special place in Tori & Pablo’s life because without her we wouldn’t be having this celebration! Lauren (Karen) is the girl that gets the party going, Lauren and Tori spent every day together sophomore year of college at SigEp and every other fraternity on campus. They also created a home away from home at a local bar in Pittsburg called McCarthy’s… racking up a weekly tab that they’d use their Rib Crib tips to fund.
Dan Frazier
Groomsman
As is a common thread, Pablo met Dan through the fraternity when they both rushed back in 2012. They were so different yet so similar, that helped them click and be friends from the beginning, Pablo is still always welcomed to stay at the Frazier home. In the early years you could always find Pablo and Dan late nights on the Sig Ep deck, drinking, singing, and having deep heart to hearts with whoever needed them. Post College Pablo moved to KC and Dan moved to Detroit, that meant they had to travel to have some beers together. Like when Pablo was in Florida for 2-3 months for work, Dan and Cody came down and they scared the ocean side bars with how much they drank and how early they were drinking doubles. These days, Dan and Pablo are the party (planning) duo!
Mollie Currid
Bridesmaid
Mollie and Tori first met when they worked together at Rib Crib, Mollie would say Tori bullied her but there’s no proof of this. Tori and Mollie share the love of thrifting and talking about good deals they find with each other. After college Mollie moved to Florida and then Las Vegas.. needless to say she hosts Tori and Pablo often! If you walk in on a conversation between Tori and Mollie you’ll most likely hear them roasting each other, don’t be alarmed this is how they communicate.
Spencer McClung
Groomsman
CAN I GET A WOO PIG SOOIE!! In all seriousness the fact they were both from Arkansas and the same city was a huge reason Pablo and Spencer became so close. In Spencer's early college days you could always find him at the Union house where Pablo, Luke and Ben lived. At the Union house we played all sorts of drinking games but the one thing that was for sure was you would not leave sober. Pablo and Spencer have watched several football and basketball games together and are very lucky to have Fiancés that can put up with their craziness during Arkansas games.
Jessi Cusick
Bridesmaid
Tori and Jessi’s friendship began at Rib Crib in Pittsburg, KS! Jessi will claim she was Tori’s boss but we all know who was the leader of that place. Jessi and Tori lived in Tori’s college bedroom together for 1/2 of junior year of college and they spent every day together whether it was on or off “the clock.” They moved to Kansas City after college at the same time and lived within walking distance of each other for their first year in a city neither of them had lived in before.
