Samantha & Shaughn
Wedding Party
Cecilia Garcia
Maid of Honor
Cecilia and I met in 7th grade and instantly became besties! We’ve been on countless road trips, concerts, late nights out, and always laughing regardless of the distance between us.
Lauren Cox
Maid of Honor
I first met Lauren in a class we had together freshman year at UNR in 2007. We found out we were basically neighbors and as time went on, we stayed in touch, lived together, and learned that we are truly kindred spirits! Chicken nugget runs, Disney karaoke, crafting buddies, and I can count on her to always go with me to Target!
Megan Grimes
Bridesmaid
I met Megan in 2012 when I started working for WCSD. She helped bring my classroom to its fullest potential. Megan was like a mentor to me and she has always believed in me! We share a love of designing and arranging classroom environments. In 2019, Megan and I roomed together for our trip to Reggio Emilia, Italy! “Due cappucini!” We thoroughly enjoyed our daily croissants, cappuccinos, gelato, and affogatos!
Emilia Gonzales
Bridesmaid
I met this incredible person in 2018 when she joined the EC department and my PLC! We quickly bonded over our love of all things teaching, wine, and plants! Now we are changing the education game as Nevada Early Educator of the year finalists and usually have 90s R&B playing in the background.
Magdalena Kiejna
Bridesmaid
Magda started as the cool and kind nail tech I met through a mutual friend. She gets me in that she always does beautiful art on my nails and 99% of the time it’s something pink and glittery. We grew closer and closer. She has been there to listen to me through basically all of my 20s!
Nick Horning
Best Man
I've known Nick since our Freshman year of high school. In the almost 30 years since we've been fraternity brothers, roomates (twice!), and concert buddies. We've been on crazy adventures all over the west coast and celebrated 3 Giants World Championships together. Although the adventures are tamer these days, we still have fun whether being the best man at his wedding or being Godfather to his son Raiden.
Shannon Richardson
Groomsman
My A-1 since day one and original partner in crime. Although he's two years younger and hates when I call him my little brother, my Younger brother Shannon has been my best friend, nemesis, debate partner, and sounding board for all things in life.
John Trevino
Groomsman
Johnny and I have been friends for over 20 years. We met while working together in college and realized we shared a love for hip-hop music and the San Francisco Giants. Since then we've been to dozens of concerts and Giants games. We also taught at the same school together for 5 years where we coached the basketball team to varying degrees of success. Although we're much older now we still enjoy the occasional live show or concert, although now we're usually sitting further back and eager to go home as soon as the show is over.
Michael Allerdyce
Groomsman
Mike and I have known each other and have been friends since college when he was my older brother in our fraternity. Since then he's always been there for advice even when I don't want to hear it or to lend a helping hand. He's also the MVP of our never-ending group chat.
Cesar Lopez
Groomsman
Cesar and I have been friends for as long as I can remember. It seems at every concert or show I went to throughout our 20s I would run into him, whether it was in Reno, San Francisco, or Los Angeles. Eventually, we randomly became neighbors, and our shared passion for discussing and arguing about music, sports, and everything else led us to start our own podcast shortly after our radio show. Now we spend hours every week in my basement working together and still want to hang out afterward.
