Selina and I have been there for each other through every bad and good time in each others lives, and I am incredibly blessed to call her my best friend! When Jason proposed, the first person I wanted to ask to be in my wedding was Selina because she is the best friend ever, and I wanted her to have the shining glory of being my maid of honor!"
Jacob Alvarado
Best Man
Meet Jacob! "Jacob and I have been best friends since 2012, and he has been like a big brother to me ever since.

I believe it is only fitting that he stands by me as I marry the woman of my dreams!"
Lauren Williams
Bridesmaid
Meet Lauren! "Lauren and I became best friends instantly a little over three years ago, and we have done everything together! Lauren has always been that friend of mine that "tells it like it is", and it has made me a stronger person! Without her support, advice, and encouragement, I would not be the person I am today! Lauren's family has welcomed me into their home as if I was part of their family, and I am forever grateful for that. She has a precious little girl whom I have known since she was 4 months old! I have one of the best people in my life, and that makes me feel so blessed!"

I am very thankful and honored to have his friendship and his support on my big day."
Meagann Cartwright
Bridesmaid
Meet Meagann! "Meagann has always been the person I look up to for anything that life threw at me. I will never forget when I was in her wedding as a junior bridesmaid, and how much I cried because I thought Blake was taking my big sister away from me! For years after her wedding, I dreamed everyday to have a big wedding just like hers; she has been my role model since I could walk. Meagann has always been the best big sister in every aspect of my life! I could not imagine this life without her!"
Troy McGann
Groomsman
Meet Troy! "Troy and I have been friends for as long as I can remember! We grew up together in our hometown of Hale Center. I like to joke about how Troy would have never made it through Spanish class without me! (We were quite the pair). Troy and I have some of the best memories from college, like being roommates! It has been a blessing to get to go through all walks of life with Troy! I had the privilege of standing by him as he married the love of his life; a woman that would put up with Troy's shenanigans! It didn't take a second thought about having Troy on my big day!"
Kimberly Goss
Bridesmaid
Meet Kimberly! "Kimberly and I clicked right from the start, and we have been friends for a little over three years! Kimberly is the sweetest soul you will ever meet, and she will do anything for anyone; heart of gold! I will never, ever forget how much she helped me get through my hard classes during college. We would spend so many late nights at our office together working on some of the most RIDICULOUS assignments. I will always admire the hard work she puts into everything that she does. She does not stop until the job is done, and done right! I am so blessed to call her one of my best friends!"
Wyatt Gwyn
Groomsman
Meet Wyatt! "Wyatt and I became best friends through work and throughout our college career. We have had so many times that we would laugh until we cried. Wyatt went to Oklahoma State University after his first year at West Texas A&M University, but this did not stop us from making the best memories! He has shown me the meaning of a strong, lasting friendship and the strength of family. Wyatt and his family have always been so welcoming and kind. Wyatt is the perfect example of a true friend!"
Kimberly Mercer

Meet Kim! "Kim has always been my go-to when I wanted to look at dresses, make-up, and all things pretty! My sisters are the people I look up to the most in my life, because they are the epitome of who I aspire to be one day! I wish I could have a fraction of Kim's creativity and looks; my sister is GORGEOUS! Kim has been and always be the best big sister ever! I will never forget searching for my prom dresses with her; she always made sure I looked the best! Looking at the shiny and sparkly things in every store will always be our thing!"
Andrew Ramon
Groomsman
Meet Andrew! "Andrew has always been a great role model to me because he is a very hard worker; he does everything with every fiber of his being, and that is inspiring. Andrew has been the greatest friend to me, and I am grateful for that. We have worked together in work and school to achieve our goals.

Bryce Chapa
Groomsman
Meet Bryce! "Bryce and I became the best of friends in 2014 when he first moved in with Jacob and I. Bryce instantly taught me all about having fun with life and the value of being a good human. I have been there to see Bryce grow from a young college kid, to a husband and father with a solid future ahead of him! He has always been the one that I can turn to for advice and encouragement through all of life's obstacles. Bryce continues to be one of the greatest examples of who to look up to! I am so thankful to have him stand with me on my wedding day."

I truly couldn’t be more blessed to call her my friend. Sarena is the person who will drop whatever she is doing, and come to the rescue; even for a drink at a restaurant or a makeup shopping spree! Jason and I are extremely happy to have both Taylor and Sarena in our wedding party together!”
Isaac Gallegos
Groomsman
Meet Isaac! "Isaac and I have been best friends since the fall of 2012, and we have grown so much since then! We have tackled so many challenges together in college, and after. Throughout those challenges, we have consistently supported each other, and I am grateful for that. Some of my greatest memories include Isaac! I have watched Isaac push himself to be the best that he can be in every aspect of his life, and this includes watching him become a father and a husband. I look up to Isaac and aspire to be as strong as him. I am and very blessed to have him by my side in life and on my wedding day!"
Aerilynn Farris
Junior Bridesmaid
Meet Aerilynn! "She is the apple of my eye, and my whole world! This sweet girl made me an "Auntie", and it is the best job I have ever had! I cannot believe the young lady that Aerilynn is turning into. I always wished that she would stay little, but I am so happy to have a front row seat to watching her grow up! She has the sweetest soul, most giving heart, and the cutest laugh! One thing that she has never lost is her happiness and bubbly personality. She lights up a room wherever she goes, and I am so proud to call her my niece!"
Cason Cartwright
Junior Groomsman
Meet Cason! "This boy is my only nephew, and he has my WHOLE HEART! Cason is the most handsome kid I know, and he has a heart of PURE GOLD! I love how much he loves his sister, and how polite he is to others. Getting to see the young man he is turning into is one of my greatest blessings. I admire how sweet he is to others. Cason has completely stolen my love, and I hope he never forgets that he has the biggest fan in me!"
Baylor Cartwright
Flower Girl
Meet Baylor! "Little miss B is my youngest niece, and she is the happiest, brightest, and lovable girl I know! The way that Baylor looks at the world amazes me every single day! Baylor lights up a room, and puts a smile on everyone's face that she meets. Much like Cason and Aerilynn, I wish that she would slow down on growing up. I will NEVER forget taking graduation pictures with her, as we were both effected by COVID-19, (in terms of graduation). Our pictures together is something I will always be able to look back on!"
Madelyn Williams
Flower Girl
Meet Madelyn! "This sweet little girl is Lauren's daughter. She is full of spirit, joy, and laughter. She doesn't know it yet, but she is going to take this world by storm one day! She is always stealing her momma and daddy's heart, and boy does she steal mine! I have known sweet Mae Mae since she was 4 months old! Any chance that I get, I am always trying to steal her attention. I want her to know that she will always have a number one fan in me for her entire life!"
Calvin Burkhart
Ring Bearer
Meet Calvin! "This is my cousin's son, and he is the CUTEST thing I have ever seen. I will never forget meeting him for the first time in 2018 with my mom and Jason in Dallas. He has the cutest face, and we are so excited to have him as part of the wedding!"
