Jessi & Rob
Wedding Party
Erica Saucedo - Chebuhar
Maid of Honor
Erica and I met while working together ... too many years ago to really count. She's been a big part of my life ever since, from annual girls trips to fight nights and sporting events. We also share a mutual borderline obsession with true crime, history and La Pinta. Also don't get us started on ghost adventures and staying places known to be haunted. Really it's all the things a great friendship are built on. Erica and her husband Joe recently brought their very own little minion into the world, during a pandemic. And I may be a bit biased but he is the cutest thing.
Tricia Scales
Bridesmaid
Tricia was a surprise friendship... built by our equally psychotic dogs at the dog park. When Goose was young we would take her and Beckham to Chaparral Dog Park to play fetch. On one of her many adventures there she discovered another crazy ball obsessed doggo, Maya. After a few times playing together, we met Maya's Mom - Tricia. It's been 5 years, multiple adventures with all of us and the dogs, weekends away and girls trips and Tricia going off to med school in Grenada. Adventure time may have slowed down but the video chats, texts and phone calls haven't. Can't wait to see where the next adventures take us.
Julia Brown
Bridesmaid
My sister Jewels and I may have different moms, but we're definitely related. Growing up our moms ensured we stayed close, and it's something I've cherished my entire life. I was an only child but I still had sisters, even if they were in OK. Jewels also has the issue with finding stray dogs and letting them stay forever, I'm starting to think this is a gene somewhere in our DNA. Her husband Ben will be flying her here for the wedding... and if things go right we might be able to wow them with the beauty of Arizona and get them to stay. Fingers crossed... it'd be a great wedding gift... hint hint. ;)
Lauren Blatzheim
Bridesmaid
Growing up visiting with my little sisters was always an adventure. Jewels and I did pretty much everything together when we saw one another, and Lauren always ended up with us too. With our crazy family dynamic it really is a miracle that we all managed to stay pretty close. Lauren is a little more like me in the organization department and has one of the biggest hearts I've ever seen. Lauren graduated from OU and moved to Florida, where she is currently based out of but like Jewels... I'm hoping to change that :)
Reilly Sehl
Best Man
As the Best Man during a pandemic wedding planning, Reilly has weathered the uncertainty along with the rest of us thus far. You might think that Reilly was chosen as the Best Man because he is my brother, but the truth is he has always been there when I needed someone for support. So it really only made sense that he would be the Best Man at my wedding, despite the craziness of 2020!
Kenny Starling
Groomsman
Kenny and I because friends through the gauntlet of college, being roommates from Freshman all the way until I left for student teaching as a senior. We have been extremely close friends ever since and continue to attend Phoenix Rising FC matches as well as enjoy a frosty pint or two on occasion. It was an absolute no-brainer to have Kenny join the Groomsman as an important member of the wedding party.
Anthony Cardinal
Groomsman
Anthony and I became close friends during Middle School, and even to this day a text message or phone call oriented around soccer or football is not out of the ordinary in the slightest. We have been roommates, traveled to Mexico multiple times, survived a couple cruises and even beat up on each other in fantasy football on the regular. Despite the fact that he lives in Austin now we still remain close and it was not even a second thought including him in the wedding party.
