Wedding Party
Evelyn Lalin
Mother of the Bride
A constant source of strength, love, and guidance, the bride's mother has been by her side through every milestone, every challenge, and every joy. Her care, wisdom, and unwavering support have helped shape the bride into the strong, self-sufficient woman she is today. The bride is forever grateful for all she has done- and for the countless ways she continues to show her love both big and small.
Johnny Diego
Father of the Bride
The bride's dad has always been her steady, loving anchor- equal parts wisdom and dad jokes. From teaching her life lessons to cheering her on through every milestone, he's been there with a smile ( and probably with a snack). She's beyond grateful to have him by her side as she steps into this new adventure.
Daphany Diego
Maid of Honor
Not many can say their mom gave birth to their best friend- but the bride can. From childhood adventure to heart-to-heart filled with laughter and made- up quotes, their bond has always been unshakable. People often thought they were twins- not just for their looks, but for how perfectly in sync they are. The bride truly couldn't imagine walking down the aisle without her sister by her side. Through every season of life, they've been ride or die- and that's never going to change. The bride's song for her sister? "Tattoo" by Jordan Sparks: "You're still a part of everything i do. You're on my heart just like a tattoo...just like a tattoo, I'll always have you." Even as she steps into this new chapter, the bride promises she'll always have time for her sister. Because soul-deep bonds like theirs don't fade- they only grow stronger
Axicalli Bernal
Bridesmaid
The bride's best friend since 3rd grade, Axicalli has been a cherished part of her life for as long as she can remember. Even when life took them to different high schools, their bond never wavered. Through every late-night phone call, college exam meltdown, and major life milestone, Axicalli has been a steady source of strength, encouragement, and love. Known lovingly as Grandma Axicalli ( a nickname gifted by the bride thanks to her claims of being "old and forgetful"), she brings humor, wisdom, and calm presence wherever she goes. The bride is beyond grateful to have her not just as a lifelong friend, but now standing by her side as a bridesmaid on this incredibly special day.
Jaynor Diego
Flower Boy & Brother of the Bride
The bride's chill partner-in-crime since day one. From plotting playful chaos with their siblings to endless laughs and inside jokes, he's always had her back. One of her favorite things? Discovering they both share a love for Steven Universe- a show that brought them even closer. Even as she steps into this new chapter, the bride promises there will always be time to hang out and binge their favorite episodes together. Now, he's bringing his sparkle to the aisle- styling and profiling as the ultimate flower boy.
Jayce Diego
Ring Bearer & Brother of the Bride
Also known as Chicken Nugget- a nickname the bride gave him and refuses to retire- this bundle of energy is the bride's youngest brother and the keeper of the rings. Though he may drive his big sister a little crazy ( and she proudly returns the favor), there's no one else she'd trust more to carry the rings down the aisle. It's a job fit for someone brave, responsible, and just the right amount of mischievous- and he fits the role perfectly. We're so lucky to have him be part of our big day... even if we both know the teasing will never stop!
Mark Gidley
Father of the Groom
Mark is the groom’s loving father, whose unwavering dedication and countless sacrifices provided a home filled with love and stability. Through life’s many unpredictable challenges, he has always shown remarkable restraint, patience, and grace. His quiet strength and steady support have been a guiding force in the groom’s life, shaping the man he is today. The groom is deeply grateful and honored to have his father by his side on this special day.
Cheryl Gidley
Mother of the Groom
Cheryl is the groom’s loving mother, always going above and beyond to help her children and grandchildren, even if her efforts aren’t always noticed right away. Her kindness, determination, and unwavering support have been a constant source of strength for the groom. Known in the family as a decorating genius, Cheryl has a knack for turning any space into something beautiful. Fun fact: she once broke her arm playing football with her brothers—proving she’s as tough as she is creative. The groom is blessed to have her love and support on this special day.
Joe Gidley
Best Man
Joe and the groom have been inseparable since childhood. From terrorizing each other as kids—like the unforgettable moment when Joe hid under the bed and grabbed the groom’s arm as he reached for a toy—to spending countless late nights talking, watching terrible movies, and battling it out in video games, their bond has only grown stronger over the years. Joe has been a loyal friend, partner-in-crime, and now proudly stands beside the groom as his best man.
Kaitlyn Gidley
Groomswoman
Kaitlyn has been a lifelong friend to the groom, sharing in many of the same memories as Joe—but with slightly less terrorizing involved. One legendary moment that still gets brought up is the infamous Pokemon Monopoly incident, where Kaitlyn and Joe’s shameless cheating drove Jacob to flip the entire table in frustration. Whether it’s been through friendly (or not-so-friendly) competition, late-night hangouts, or simply being a constant presence through the years, Kaitlyn has been an important part of Jacob’s life and is honored to stand with him on this special day.
John Gidley
Officiant
John is the groom’s uncle and has been a missionary in Puerto Rico for over 40 years, dedicating his life to building schools and sharing God’s word. His passion, perseverance, and countless stories have been a huge inspiration to the groom, even sparking his dream of becoming an author. One unforgettable story involves a giant spider that shrugged off a direct hit from a heavy book and casually walked away—proof that, much like John himself, some things simply refuse to back down. The groom is honored to have his uncle officiating this special day.
