Emily & Roy
Wedding Party
Jessica Valenzuela-Smith
Maid of Honor
Affectionately know to me as Jessie May, she is my best friend and “sister from another mister.” She is my human diary and knows me better than anyone. We have been friends since high school and consider each other family. She moved to Hawaii 14 years ago and even with an ocean between us, our friendship has remained strong. I appreciate Jess for always being there for me and I am so excited to have her stand next to me on our special day.
Victor Green
Best Man
My homie since day 1. We've run the mean streets of Martinez together since we were kids. Riding our bikes down to the Boys and Girls Club to play basketball, ping pong, pool and listen to Vic yell at little kids in his Rock voice. He is mostly full of shit, but always in good spirits. Nobody can get Emily more riled up after a few beers more easily than this guy. Glad to have him by my side.
Kelsey Malinowski
Bridesmaid
My sweet Kelsey boo, aka K-Dawg. We met working retail nine years ago and I quickly grew to love her infectious personality. She is a loyal friend and always has my back. No one makes me laugh more than Kels and we always have the best time when we are together. I am so happy to have her in my life and in my bridal party.
Ethan Brown
Groomsman
I met Ethan in little league, he was on the rival Marlins. It seems we only become better and better friends the older we get. He is the friend that will always help you no matter what you need, and always drop what he is doing to do so, no matter how inconvenient. Ethan is the friend I would call to bury a body.
Shana Seeley
Bridesmaid
Shana and I met at the gym five years ago and have been workout buddies ever since. She is the kindest and most selfless person I know. She is the Rachel to my Monica and always gets every ‘Friends’ reference I overuse. Whether we are working out or drinking girly beers, her presence is a breath of fresh, fun, delightful air. She is an amazing friend and will be an amazing bridesmaid.
Chad Black
Groomsman
I met Chad in high school. We immediately clicked on the court, and in real life. Whether we are running the Pick and Roll, winning golf tournaments or just chillin', we make it look easy. Chad is genuinely a great person and easy to talk to. We are different, but VERY much the same.
Carolyn Gomer
Bridesmaid
C-Lo and I met freshman year of high school and were instantly inseparable. Throughout our 21-year friendship, we've always had a special bond. The memories and inside jokes between us are endless. We text daily (I reply, you reply!) and are always making each other laugh. My bridal party would be incomplete without her.
Matt Gricius
Groomsman
Matt is my longest friendship, we have known each other since pre-school. We have played sports together throughout our lives, including him catching the majority of my touchdown passes. I appreciate Matt for his sub-par commissioning of our fantasy football league, his strong work ethic and ability to take a joke.
Stefanie Neidermann
Bridesmaid
Stef is my classiest and bougiest friend and I love her for it. We met through work and quickly connected. Although we could not be more different, we have so many random similarities and have always understood each other. Our friendship is easy and fun – “no, for real!” I am so glad to have Stef as one my beautiful bridesmaids.
Ian McGuire
Groomsman
I met Ian through work, quickly becoming fast friends. We have shredded mountains, jumped out of a plane and debated many topics together. One of my favorite things to do is share a beer with Ian and argue about anything and everything, we always hug it out at the end and promise to do it again soon, I am excited to continue that for a long time buddy!
Salina Serpa
Bridesmaid
Salina! Anything for Salinas! We’ve known each other since high school but grew very close in our mid-20s. We can talk about anything and everything. We share a love for ‘Beverly Hills 90210’, sipping tea, and sitting at the beach doing nothing but listening to the waves. Our friendship is so special and important to me. I am thankful to have her be a part of our wedding.
Jarred Henry
Groomsman
I met Jarred growing up playing baseball and after going our separate ways in our 20's, we have never been closer than we are now. We had countless virtual hangouts to get us through the pandemic, and he kicks my ass in golf on almost a weekly basis. He is always in a good mood... unless he just made double bogey... or unless there is more than 5 MPH of wind on the course... or if he has to wait 2 minutes on the tee box. Ok, maybe he is always in a good mood unless he is on a golf course...
