Wedding Party
Adrianna Gobin
Maid of Honor
Lyndsey met Adrianna at an interest meeting for their sorority, Delta Phi Epsilon. The two instantly hit it off and became inseparable. From the moment they met, it was like they knew each other for forever. They talked about anything and everything. There isn't anything that they couldn't discuss. For the past 3 years, Lyndsey and Adrianna have been attached at the hip, whether it is studying or having cosmo nights. Even when they are apart, they are together. Adrianna is always the first person Lyndsey calls for anything she needs. Lyndsey knows she could always rely on Adrianna to be her ride or die, partner in crime, and best friend. Meeting a best friend in your 20s is the greatest gift because you continue to heal and grow together. Lyndsey is so blessed to have Adrianna be her Maid of Honor, sister, future aunt to her children, and most importantly -- her best friend!
Alyssa Torres
Maid of Honor
Alyssa is Lyndsey's youngest first cousin. Lyndsey has always seen Alyssa as a little sister as they grew up together. Alyssa used to go to Lyndsey's house every single day for the first 14 years of their lives. It forced them to spend time together, but it worked because now Lyndsey and Alyssa are constantly together! Instead of Alyssa going to Lyndsey's house, now Lyndsey goes to Alyssa's house during her free time. They go to each other for laughs, cries, and rants about anything and everything. They love making memories together and talking about all things Taylor Swift, music, make-up or just life. Lyndsey could always count on Alyssa for a spontaneous and fun adventure, whether it be going on trips to Florida or to the mall. She is so lucky to have a friend and cousin in Alyssa!
Nicole Hernandez
Bridesmaid
Lyndsey and Nicole are first cousins and grew up together. Nicole, aka Coco, would go to Lyndsey's house all day, every day for the first 5 years of their lives. Even when they both started school, they would constantly hang out and be together. During their last year of nursing school and grad school, Coco and Lyndsey studied at Starbucks everyday. This turned into daily walks, going to the gym and constant yapping. Lyndsey enjoys Coco's company as they will never run out of things to talk about or do! Coco is such a bright light in Lyndsey's life. She is her voice of reason and delusion buddy. Lyndsey is so blessed to have her little cousin stand by her side at her wedding day and every day!
Brianna Puccio
Bridesmaid
Brianna and Lyndsey met their senior year of undergrad. They always had classes together but never talked to each other due to online classes. At the end of Fall Semester 2021, Brianna invited Lyndsey to dinner with their classmates. This was the first time they officially met in person! They talked about their boyfriends and how they couldn't wait to get engaged. In Spring 2022, they became co-clinicians together for clinic and became very close! She would have never thought that her co-clinician would become one of her closest friends! Lyndsey knows she could always count on Brianna to keep her grounded. From co-treating, to planning their weddings together, to being each other's future aunt to their kids, to standing by each other's side during their weddings, and beyond, Lyndsey knows she found a true and forever friend in Brianna!
Janella Flores
Bridesmaid
Janella and Lyndsey have been friends since 8th grade. Janella is Lyndsey's longest standing friend. Even though they don't talk or hang out everyday, Lyndsey considers Janella one of her closest friends. When they do see each other, they pick up right where they leave off. They lose track of time and talk endlessly about everything. It has been such an honor to grow and blossom with someone for 11-12 years! No matter what, Lyndsey knows she will always have a friend in Janella. She knows that she will always have someone cheering for her in her corner. From little preteens to planning their next adventure, Lyndsey is so thankful to have her as a bridesmaid and a forever friend!

Taylor Scheef
Bridesmaid
Taylor is Lyndsey's high school best friend. They met in freshman year of high school. Taylor introduced Lyndsey and Ryan through a mutual person in senior year. Lyndsey doesn't know what she would have done without Taylor in senior year. They were inseparable! Lyndsey knew that Taylor was always a call away whenever she needed her. To this day, Taylor is still someone Lyndsey would call if she needed something or someone. If it's someone to run errands with or get some ice cream and gossip about everyone, Taylor is her girl. Through their ups and downs, Lyndsey and Taylor will always find themselves back to each other. Lyndsey is forever thankful for her longtime best friend!
Christina Lougheed
Bridesmaid
Christina (Chrissy) is Ryan's sister. Over the past 6 years, Lyndsey and Chrissy slowly built such a beautiful friendship and bond. They are both so alike yet different, and that’s what makes their bond so special. She knows that Lyndsey is so thankful she has Chrissy in her life to lean on, laugh with, and send Gizmo memes to. Lyndsey knows that if she needs someone to back her up, Chrissy will do it without a doubt. Lyndsey is so blessed to gain a sister in Chrissy!
Nicole Lougheed

Ryan and Lyndsey walked Nicole to her friend's house and that was the first time she talked to Nicole. Over the past 6 years, Lyndsey and Nicole formed a sweet bond talking about mental health, Taylor Swift, music and all things hair related. She always viewed Nicole as one of her little sisters, and now she will become her sister-in-law!
Scott Lougheed
Best Man
Scottie is Ryan's younger brother. They grew up running around in the backyard playing war games with stick guns and used to stay up late playing Call of Duty Zombies in the downstairs living room. As Ryan and Scottie aged, their interests together faded and split into 2 different directions. However, as they turn into adults, they continue to bond more over video games, the NFL, and other interests. Being his only brother, Ryan knows that Scottie will forever be there for him in times of hardships and times of celebration. Ryan looks forward to continuing to build a strong bond as brothers. He is thankful to have a brother he can name as his best man!
Kyle Sommerlad
Groomsman
When Ryan first met Kyle, he didn't have many friends at all. Ryan is a keep-to-himself kind of person and struggles to build new bonds with people. Video games is what got Ryan and Kyle to talk in the first place. This is what brought them together originally to spend time with each other outside of their significant others. Since then, Kyle has grown to be like an older brother to Ryan. Ryan truly can’t put into words how appreciative he is to be welcomed into a friend circle that was brought to him by Kyle and how he was treated as one of their own. Ryan will always have a best friend in Kyle for as long as they live!
Jake Lesaca
Groomsman
Jake is Lyndsey's younger brother. Jake was always shy towards Ryan when they first met. Trying to bond with a 10 year old while being 17 was a hard task for Ryan at the time as one could imagine. Who knew that all it would take was some matches at Clash Royale and trash talking to properly break the ice and start a good relationship with someone. Living far away from each other is less than ideal, so Ryan always made sure to catch up on what’s going on with school and life during the short amount of time they can see each other. Ryan enjoys talking to Jake about how the 49ers are doing and clowning on whatever bad state the video game industry is in at the moment. Brother in Law is a big title, and Ryan is so happy to be a new big brother to Jake if he ever needs anything from him!
Jamison Lesaca
Groomsman
Jamison (Jamie) is Lyndsey's 2nd younger brother. Jamie was the most outgoing 10 year old at the time of meeting! Ryan remembers one of their first activities together was throwing a football around with Jamie at Lyndsey's aunt's house where Ryan was able to showcase his abysmal QB skills. Another great memory he has with Jamie was when they had to light a campfire inside of an unused fire pit, Jamie and Ryan squealed together in fear as they were brutally attacked by fleeing crickets. If Jamie is ever tempted to come back up north and crack open a beer over a football game (After turning 21!), he knows who to go to! Whether it is video games, football or eliminating crickets from a fire pit, Jamie is a lighthearted and funny guy who is a joy to be around and will be a cherished edition to Ryan as a new Brother in Law!
Daniel Valverde
Groomsman
Dan and Ryan bonded quickly after being introduced through Kyle. They shed blood, sweat, and tears during long nights of playing Valorant before even meeting in person. That online friendship easily carried over to real life with their first meeting being an all day bar-hopping experience in Manhattan. If Kyle is the big brother figure, Dan is definitely the fun uncle of the friend group! His unmatched ability to bring the fun to the party is irreplaceable in Ryan's life! No matter where the rollercoaster of life may take them, Ryan will be sure to hop on the seat next to Dan! Ryan is so thankful to have met Dan and now have him by his side at his wedding!
Shahnt Madalian
Groomsman
On the first day of Kindergarten, Shahnt was in tears not wanting to leave his parents for the first day of school. Ryan remembers walking up, taking his hand and bringing him over to his table. Ever since then, Shahnt has been Ryan's 1st and most cherished friend. Through every stage of life, Shahnt has been the ONLY person that has stuck with Ryan from the start. Through the awkward years through middle school and high school and changing as a person, Shahnt stayed by Ryan's side and made sure to invite him out of the house for events and help him through life struggles. As adults with busy lives, they don’t see each other as much as they would like, but Ryan knows, from years of experience, he will always have a fantastic cherished friend in Shahnt in his corner of the ring!
Brandon Matadeen
Groomsman
Ryan and Brandon properly met during a group trip to the Casino for Kyle's birthday a few years ago. Brandon had never gambled before and asked about the rules and strategies of Blackjack with Ryan. After getting the courage to try it out, he sat down and won the most money out of everyone that attended the trip! Overtime, the both of them began to bond over similar interests every time they would encounter one another at one of Kyle's group events! During a recent bachelor party, Brandon was even kind enough to take care of a sick Ryan starting at 4 in the morning! They both now always greet each other with a big man hug for every occasion! Ryan is so thankful to have a friend like Brandon and to have him standing by his side during the special occasion!
