Wedding Party
Wayra Schreiber
Maid of Honor
I met Wayra in California, and our connection was instant — effortless, natural, and rare. Wayra is incredibly talented in her voice-over career, but what truly stands out to me is her heart. She is gentle and deeply kind, caring for others with a sincerity that feels real and beautifully genuine. The way she treats people reflects a heart full of empathy and love. She’s also the most positive and hopeful person I know — quick to find solutions and always seeing the glass half full. Whenever she walks into a room, she brings joy with her. She has a bright, uplifting energy — always smiling, always warm, always excited to celebrate life. She makes people feel welcomed, seen, and truly cared for. Wayra is a living light — full of dreams, ideas, and a heart that believes in what is good. To me, she’s more than a friend — she’s someone truly special and deeply cherished. Having her as my Maid of Honor feels exactly right. 💛
Raquel Sala
Bridesmaid
Raquel is my older sister, and growing up by her side was one of the greatest gifts of my childhood. We spent most of our lives together — sharing everyday moments, inside jokes, and memories only sisters can truly understand. Those years were filled with laughter, closeness, and a bond that has always felt natural and strong. Intelligent, dedicated, and resilient, she inspires me with her strength, determination, warmth, and genuine kindness. She’s built a meaningful career and raised two wonderful children with grace and balance — a beautiful example of love and perseverance. Having her by my side on this day reminds me of home, family, and the love that shaped who I am. 💛
Laryssa Andrade
Bridesmaid
Laryssa is my cousin, and we’ve had a special connection since she was a baby. I’ve always felt a deep affection and closeness toward her — a bond that has only grown stronger over the years. Watching her grow into such a confident, courageous, and beautifully grounded woman has been a true joy and something I’m so proud of. She brings warmth, laughter, and a loving spirit wherever she goes. Having her here is a beautiful reminder of family, shared memories, and the bond we’ve carried through a lifetime. 💛
Gabriela Davis
Bridesmaid
Gabriela and I first met in Brazil when we were children, through Laryssa — who is her cousin. When Laryssa was born, our families naturally became more connected, and that’s how Gabriela and I first came into each other’s lives. At the time, we were familiar to one another, but not especially close yet. It was only later, in adulthood, that our friendship truly began to grow. Over time, shared experiences and meaningful conversations turned that early family connection into a bond that feels steady, genuine, and chosen. One of the things I appreciate most about Gabriela is the way she finds joy in everyday life. She notices the beauty in simple moments and reminds those around her to slow down, be present, and live with intention. To me, Gabriela is more than a friend — she is family. Having her here is a celebration of a connection that has grown naturally and beautifully over the years. 💛
Luana Caputti
Bridesmaid
Luana is one of the strongest and most grounded women in my life. She is determined and joyful, and she carries light with her wherever she goes. She loves exploring the world and embraces life with energy and openness. Above all, she is a devoted mother to Poliana and Fernando — raising them with grace, courage, and a faith lived sincerely and daily. Her relationship with God shapes the way she loves, speaks, and leads. Her wisdom is gentle and rooted in Scripture, and I’ve always admired the way she seeks to grow in faith, understanding, and closeness to God. Simply being around her is a reminder of what it means to live with purpose, peace, and trust. Over the past few years, we’ve shared many meaningful moments together — the kind that turn into memories I deeply cherish. Having Luana here is a blessing and an honor — a reflection of admiration, gratitude, and the beautiful friendship we share. 💛
Yescenia Esquivas
Bridesmaid
Yesci and I share a connection that is both deep and effortlessly fun — the kind that awakens our true essence when we’re together. She likes to say that she’s the ember and I’m the wind — when we’re together, things feel brighter, warmer, and full of life. We naturally bring out each other’s most spirited and joyful sides. Our friendship is rooted in truth, depth, and a shared way of seeing life. We both value sincerity, real conversations, and living with openness and heart. Our talks are full of enthusiasm and energy — the kind that lights something inside. Yesci is full of faith and full of life. She can be focused and driven when she needs to be, and wonderfully playful and lively when she feels free. She is intense, sincere, strong, and also deeply sensitive — a mix that makes her unique and unforgettable. Having her here means celebrating a friendship that is vibrant, supportive, and full of heart. ❤️🔥
Natália Cintra
Bridesmaid
I met Natália in California, and from the very beginning, she’s been someone I genuinely enjoy being around. She’s smart, confident, and has a calm, genuine presence that makes people feel at ease. She has a strong sense of who she is — grounded, balanced, and real. Being friends with her feels easy and fun, the kind of friendship that doesn’t need much to feel complete. Having her here is a celebration of the good kind of friendship — one built on respect, laughter, and authenticity. 💛
Stephen Rodriguez
Best Man
Best Man Stephen Rodriguez is a longtime friend and confidante of the groom. Stephen and Patrick were neighbors when they both first moved to Newport Beach 18 years ago, and they also worked together battling for top sales accolades at Apple Fashion Island when fresh out of school. They’ve experienced a number of peaks and valleys alongside each other- some might say outlandish enough to warrant a Netflix series. Suffice to say, Patrick could not be more proud of what Stephen has built in the most recent stage of his life. TL;DR: a friendship that mimics brotherhood.
Bennett Schweiker
Groomsman
Groomsman Bennett Schweiker is Patrick’s oldest brother of the seven sons of parent’s Malcolm and Kathleen Schweiker. He was the leader of the ‘older three’ that together navigated their early childhood years in the late 80s and early 90s. Patrick has fond memories of admiration of Bennett’s young artistic abilities- especially as an illustrator…think stick-figure fight-scene flip books and eyebrow-raising TMNT fan art. It can be said that Bennett’s early interest in boardsports also inspired Patrick’s lifelong pursuit of surf and snowboarding- something they got to enjoy together as the only brother’s living on the West Coast. Patrick appreciates Bennett’s longtime supprt, even letting him sleep on his Garfield-inspired sofa bed after first driving to California, and his presence is most-appreciated.
Ryan Schweiker
Groomsman
Groomsman Ryan is Patrick’s brother closest in age, only 2.5 years apart. This resulted in spending a lot of time together, with overlapping social circles in their early schools and neighborhoods. They shared a bedroom together multiple years, and spent countless hours exploring the woods, creeks, snowforts, and anything adventurous outside. During the teenage years, Patrick loved that whenever he was with Ryan, he enjoyed the indemnity of an older brother on whom the onus seemed to always fall. Ryan excelled in a lot that Patrick did not, particularly with anything mechanical or involving tools, and still does. Ryan also continues to inspire as an impressive and accomplished father of 4 and husband of one.
Kevin Schweiker
Groomsman
Groomsman Kevin Schweiker is the sibling that made Patrick an older brother, and is affectionately known as the kindest of the seven. Patrick enjoyed helping an inherently shy toddler come out of his shell on the playground in his elementary school years, but will never forget seeing little Kevin put up some oversized-hits on his ‘ankle-biter’ football team. Kevin and Patrick furthered their bond over years of backyard lacrosse. Kevin has grown into a remarkable entrepreneur and servant leader of a growing family as husband and father of three.
Collin Schweiker
Groomsman
Groomsman Collin Schweiker is brother cinco. Upon arrival, Patrick further stepped into his role of big brother, and even helped lighten the parental load of an increasingly large family. Due to a now infamous doctor appointment where an 8 year-old Patrick’s inappropriate attempt to inaccurately roast his mom to the nurse, he was subsequently volunteered to diaper-changing duty of the largest, “best appetite as a toddler” of the siblings, Collin. Thankfully, Patrick has been prepped for the messier side parenthood since 1992. In all seriousness, Collin has been a loyal younger brother, offering on-going encouragement and support all the way from NYC, and has also made a name for himself as young executive. Patrick takes pride in watching Collin continue to prosper personally and professionally.
Sean Schweiker
Groomsman
Groomsman Sean Michael is brother six and in a lot of ways Patrick’s fraternal counterpart. Even though 9 years younger, Patrick appreciated Sean stepping up for daily afternoon backyard lacrosse practice, especially when other brothers complained about passes ‘thrown too hard.’ The notable easy solution was Sean agreeing to merely stand in front of the goal as backstop, effectively becoming a backyard goalie with no pads nor helmet. Patrick appreciates the credit for these early experiences eventually leading to Sean’s All-American high school lacrosse accolades. Sean is currently following in his Father’s footsteps perusing real-estate and entrepreneurship, and Patrick admires his on-brand tenacity.
Garrett Schweiker
Groomsman
Garrett is the last of the 7, and also blessed with the most prominent facial-structure. Being the most organized and detail-oriented has served him well, from early childhood hobbies of robotics and electronics to his now impressive medical tech career. Over the years, watching Garrett grow physically and intellectually has been a joy and appreciated, as he is a reliable and supportive voice of reason, and wise beyond his age.

Things To Do
Baldwin Lake Stables
Early in their courtship, Monica and Patrick rode horseback over the sunset ridge experience with Baldwin Lake stables, which takes you up the local part of the Pacific Crest Trail.
Big Falls Trailhead 1E13
This rustic outing can be as beginner and child-friendly, or as adventurous and challenging, as you prefer it to be, all contingent on how far up the trail and eventual rock scramble you go. The initial trail out to the low viewing platform is tame enough for even the most trail-timid, but the ensuing water-crossings and bolder scrambles progressively ascend 500 feet of cascading pools and falls. Monica and Patrick made it to the top when visiting the area during wedding planning, and highly recommend, just make sure you have the right footwear.
Big Bear Off Road Experience
The trails around Big Bear Lake and the town of Fawnskin offer an off-road experience from wooded single-tracks to wide open canyons, mountain vistas, and everything in between.
Riley's Farm
This apple orchard and working farm is full of charm and seasonal offerings, with a strong harkening back to the founding of our country. In November the produce a interactive Thanksgiving celebration and live show in their historical dinner barn.

Travel Note
Airports
From Orange County Flying into Orange County’s John Wayne Airport (SNA) will include a ~90 minute drive or about 73 miles. from the Inland Empire Flying into Ontario (ONT) cuts the drive down to 40 miles or about 50 mins. Flying into Palm Springs (PSP) is similar but from the east, also about 40 miles and 50 mins. Flying into Los Angeles (LAX) definitely has the most flights, but the convenience stops there. Expect ~95 miles of heavy traffic that could easily exceed 3 hours of driving. God bless you all. Due to rush-hour starting mid-afternoon, please plan on getting on the road as early as possible.
