Andrew Roman
Best Man/Brother of the Groom
“Ron has always been one of the smartest and caring people I’ve known. We’ve gone through a lot and seen each other grow throughout the years as well. I’ve always loved how we’ve always competed in soccer whether it was on the pitch or off the pitch aka FIFA. We both have never liked to lose and whenever one of us would we would always say “one more game” even tho we knew it was never just ONE last game. I wish I could go back to the days where we were just passing the ball as little kids with no worries or anything just enjoying something we both love.Thanks for always being on my side and telling Kitch MESSI IS THE GOAT, only people who don’t know ball choose penaldo but for you and I it’ll always be VISCA BARCA. Also I don’t know if you’d be here today if it weren’t for my amazing swimming skills because I saved you from drowning in the ocean just wanted to let you know that HAHA Love you Ron!”
Sydney Raschke
Bridesmaid
Sydney and I became close during nursing school after numerous study dates. Although, most of those study dates we really just spent in conversation!! Sydney has such a positive nature and is always up for an adventure, especially those that involve coffee and hiking! She is passionate about caring for others and works hard to show God's love to her patients!
Matthew Anaya
Groomsman/Cousin of the Groom
“Rony is only one year older than me so growing up we shared a lot in common. One of the fondest memories I have with Rony is buying the same FC Barcelona jersey because our favorite players finally played in the same club together. I remember we used to plan to wear them on the same day when our families would get together and we would take EPIC pictures HAHA love you Ron!!”
Celine Frey
Bridesmaid
Celine and I became friends during our first RN jobs. I still remember our deep talks over long night shifts and her waking me up one night when I accidentally fell asleep! Celine always has encouraging words to share and a calming presence. I was honored to stand by her side when she married the love of her life, and I'm so happy she gets to do the same for me!
Aaron Frey
Groomsman
We have become friends over the past two years through Bekah's relationship with Celine, Aaron's wife. We have enjoyed many adventures together as couples, including an escape room! Aaron was able to get us out of the escape room with quick thinking and time to spare. What a fun experience! Aaron has a friendly and welcoming personality in addition to a great sense of humor (and a competitive side). I am blessed to have him stand by my side on Bekah and I's special day.
Rachel George
Bridesmaid
Sister of the Bride Those who know me know that I was an only child until I was 10 years old. Throughout my childhood, I prayed for a sibling every day and would tell myself "I know I'll have a sister by the time I get married." Now here we are! It has been the greatest privilege to watch Rachel grow up. She is energetic and passionate about horseback riding and musical theatre. Find her on the dance floor at the wedding!
Julian Anaya
Groomsman/Cousin of the Groom
“Rony has always been one of the most competitive of all us cousins, if not THE MOST competitive. This would show most when playing Super Smash Brothers, and that's why beating him with Donkey Kong and seeing him rage is one of my favorite memories/times spent together, along with the rest of the siblings. >.< <3”
Alejandra Roman
Bridesmaid/Sister of the Groom
Alejandra and I are excited to be Sisters-in-Law! We have gotten to know each other well throughout the past few years. We have connected over our mutual love for trying new cafes and coffee! Ale is a sweet friend who is always willing to help and loves a good heartfelt romance movie! I have grown to love our deep conversations and I am so excited to connect more as official family!
Emmanuel Garzo
Groomsman
“I first met Rony through a mutual friend who brought so many great people together, and I'm grateful that our connection grew into a lasting friendship. We bonded over gym sessions, tropical smoothie runs, and eventually playing soccer on the weekends. Rony's passion for Messi always stood out - like the time in December 2022 when he asked me to "unlike the egg" post so that Messi could set the new Instagram liked post record. I'm honored to celebrate this next chapter of his life.”
Harmony Zimmerman
Bridesmaid
I met Harmony through church when I was about six years old. Harmony and her family served in the mission field growing up and it was rare that I got to see her in person! Nevertheless, we maintained our relationship through being pen pals! (I still have most of our letters!) And in the short times she was state side, we had epic sleepovers! Harmony is one of the smartest and sweetest people I know!
Wesley Anaya
Groomsman/Cousin of the Groom
“One thing Rony isn't afraid showing is his love for soccer. Which is why I'm so glad I got a great shot him scoring a GOLASO when we entered the fxa league in one of the first games of the season, and of course celebrating like the goat Messi!”
Isabella Burkett
Bridesmaid
I don't think I would've survived high school without Bella! I attended a private school up until 9th grade when I started public school. I didn't know anyone and Bella welcomed me with open arms. Over the years, I have watched Bella grow into a beautiful, independent woman and recently, I have had the honor of watching her become a mother! Bella's sweet spirit is evident in all of her interactions.
Christian Roman
Best Man/Brother of the Groom
“I’ve known my brother Rony for the longest time and he’s one of the most loving people. His passion for football is something else. He loves Messi and I love Ronaldo the GOAT. We have the craziest discussions of who is the best and honestly you just have to be there to understand. I love my brother and he’s always been there for me since day 1. SIIUUUU!!!!”
Amberlee Martin
Flower Girl
Amberlee is the first of my cousin, Hannah's, children! Amberlee is a bright, cheerful, and very smart young lady who enjoys helping out on her family's mini farmstead, especially taking care of their many animals! A special memory I have of Amberlee is when she introduced Rony and I to the family's new mini cow! She was so proud. She will be the most beautiful flower girl!
Alex & Maverick Weber
Ring Bearers
Alex and Maverick are the sweet sons of our photographer, Jess Weber! They get excited about anything related to superheroes, especially if it has to do with Batman and The Flash. They are very excited to have the very special duty of being the "Protectors of the rings" on Wedding Day!
Hannah Martin
Pianist/Music Coordinator
Hannah is one of my cousins and an incredible pianist among other things! I spent many years of my childhood going to her house after school and remember playing house and having fake weddings. I am very excited to have Hannah involved in our wedding! Hannah is a wonderful mother to her and her husband's four beautiful children, one of which is also involved in the wedding! Hannah is a talented homemaker and it makes me so happy to see how her and her husband's mini farmstead has grown over the last several years!
Jess Weber
Photographer
Jess and I (Bekah) have known each other since middle school youth group when Jess was my co-youth group leader! Since becoming friends way back then, Jess married my cousin, Landon, and now we're family! We enjoy coffee dates and hanging out playing super heroes with Jess's two sons who are also involved in the wedding! We feel so blessed to have such a talented and special person in our lives doing our photos and capturing the most special moments of our day!
Heather Nolt
Wedding Planner
I have known Heather since I was in elementary school as she is older sister of my very good friend, who also happens to be involved in the wedding! Over the last few years, Heather and I have become close as she has helped me through my Arbonne journey. I knew in seeing her business skills she would be well equipped to help with wedding planning and she has done just that! Heather's cheerful spirit and commitment are contagious and it has been a blessing to work with her in planning our special day!
Oksana Zimmerman
Cake Baker
Oksana has been one of my (Bekah) very good friends since the first grade. She is one of the most talented bakers I know, among other talents including horseback riding and training! I clearly remember her baking one of the best cakes I have ever had in 7th grade! Oksana is also one of the sweetest and funniest people I know. We have several hilarious (and probably embarrassing) elementary and middle school memories, which I wont get into now, but if you want to hear a funny story, go find Oksana at the wedding!
Helen Weber
Favors
My Aunt Henie is a very special person in my life. I spent many days with her and her children as I grew up! Aunt Henie has treated me as if I was one of her own children and throughout my life, has always been there with encouraging words and prayer. I have always known my Aunt Henie's chocolate chip cookies were the best ever. Now, maybe I am biased, but I'm not so sure because when Rony and I started dating, my aunt made Rony her cookies and he cannot get enough of them! We are so excited to share these delicious creations with our guests!
