Wedding Party
Sierra Smith
Bride
“Sierra is a wonderful lady, honestly, I didn't believe it was possible to find someone with a huge heart and down to earth like she is. When I first met her, I was extremely scared, I had already been through a few really bad relationships and was unsure if I could ever open myself up again, but I am really glad I did, not only did she show me what love truly feels like, but she also showed me what teamwork as a couple should be like. Knowing she had a son scared me a bit, it was a huge role that I would be filling in, and I didn't really know how to fill that role, thankfully Sierra has guided me through this new phase and I'm really happy with the bond I have with Jax. The two of them have been my world and I would do anything for them, and I am so happy to finally make them my family <3 Emilio”
Emilio Castro
Groom
"I never thought I would meet a guy like Emilio. He has made me a better person in so many ways. He has never given me a reason not to trust him, He puts into our relationship even when he has had an exhausting day and we just work so well as a team. I was giving up hope that there were actually good guys out there and then we crossed paths. He makes me feel loved every single day and I couldn't thank god enough for him. We have the same life goals and ambitions and we push each other everyday ( still waiting for him to tell me I can just stay at home and not work another day in my life... only kidding) I'm not sure if we actually have the same house remodel visions, or if he just don't want to tell me No. haha. I'm ready to make this official and to spend the rest of my life with you <3 Sierra"
Jaxtyn DeLisle
Man of Honor
The Sweetest boy has been in AW at having the best dad. Jax and I are both so thankful our paths crossed with Emilio and now we are a family. Jax really looks up to his dad and wants to be just like him when he is bigger. Jax says "its the most amazingest thing iv ever heard, I love my mom and dad and I'm super happy for them. I love our family and even our dogs Rex & Blu."
Caitlyn VanHouten
Matron of Honor
Caitlyn and I met in kindergarten and were friends for a couple years, as we got older we drifted away. Caitlyn ended up getting a job where I worked and we became so close so fast and have talked every single day since! She has been the shoulder to lean on through this whole wedding planning process and never put me to the side. I am so thankful for her in my adult life because she always shows up on the good and bad days. Our adult lives seem very similar these days, even though very busy... I never have to wonder if she will be there for me. She has taken this role very serious and I couldn't thank her enough!
Rob Young
Best Man
Rob and I met when we worked together at JW Hunt, the we learned that we had actually gone to school together and were part of the Laker graduating class of 2015. We always laughed about not knowing each other during high school, but I'm really glad I had the opportunity to meet him. We spent countless hours on the phone as we drove from state to state, and that's how we had the opportunity to better know each other, the more time went on, the closer our friendship got, to the point of seeing him like a brother.
Mariah Price
Bridesmaid
Once Mariah and I hit high school no one could ever believe I was older than her... only by 6 months but still. So many memories since we were super little but I will never forget the time we were staying at her grandmas house (probably 5/6 years old) and she asked her grandma Sue to make us tea. I took one drink and realized I DID NOT like tea, she yelled at me and told me I had to drink it because it was nice of her grandma to make it for us and I should be grateful. I thought she was so mean for the longest time! HAHA. We played lots of barbies/brats with Tiffani all the time, then we were teenagers who thought we knew better than our parents. We attempted to sneak out of her house onetime and her mom busted us and made us go to bed, we just wanted until she was sleeping and tried it again and that time we were successful. lmao Adulthood is very busy but I'm thankful for the times we are able to get together and LOVE seeing her live her best life and being so successful <3
Ryan Castro
Groomsman
Impossible to have my wedding without my little brother there, Ryan has been a great brother, even though we've had our ups and downs (like every sibling), we've learned to put our differences aside. We've both had rough encounters with each other, arguing and/or fighting, but as time went on, we see our disagreements as opportunities, something we can learn from each other rather than argue about. I know that despite anything that happens between us, he will always have my back and I will always have his.
Ashley Vincent
Bridesmaid
Our story started about 30 years ago, it's just... the both of us never knew it until we were in rooms next to each other having our babies 20 some years later. Ashley's grandma came into my room at the hospital and said, " your cousin is in the room next to you, she just had a baby girl" I just said "cool, I have no idea who she is." I go back to work after maternity leave and there she is, my new coworker. We have been super close ever since, doing all the firsts with our babies who were less than 24 hours apart. We have been through it ALL in the short 8 years of actually knowing each other. She helped me through some of the darkest times, more than once. We still loved each other after not listening to the advice we would give each other time after time. We had been at the same family functions when we were little, I knew who her grandma and dad was, I just never knew Ashley. But now I'm so thankful that I do. <3
Dylan Smith
Groomsman
Dylan was the first sibling I met, even though he's Sierra's younger brother, he would definitely step in to protect his big sister. He's a pretty laid back person, if you're nice he will be nice to you, but the moment you cross that line there is definitely no turning back. I know his heart is in the right place, and because of that I believe that we've created a brotherly bond. Dylan has been there for both Sierra and I, and I am very happy to call him my brother.
Tiffani Mason
Bridesmaid
Tiffani and I are the only girls out of 15 grandkids on our grandmother's side. That speaks for itself, I always looked up to her for everything. We played all the barbies you could think of and when we got sick of that we played the Sims nonstop listening to Nickelback on repeat and reading her brothers love letters we would find in his room. (Sorry Aaron) There are so many stories/memories that will stick in our brains that we still laugh about today, some of them we don't speak about out loud because I'm sure some people would question them, and well... we just don't have an explanation for you. I would always bribe Tiffani to help me clean my room whither it be with a goldfish from the Walmart fish tanks, or a roman noodle candle lit dinner (Scooby snacks for dessert) in my *now* clean bedroom. She helped me learn all things I needed to know when I entered motherhood and that itself will always make me thankful for her.
Johnny Hunt
Groomsman
I met Johnny when I started working for JW Hunt, he was always a very quiet and to himself kind of person, I figured just a bit shy like myself, but once I had a chance to talk to him and get to know him better we truly started a friendship that has lasted quite a bit. Him and I have seen and joked about a lot of crazy things you can see on the road, he's also taught me a lot of things that have made my job easier. When you treat him like an equal he too treats you like an equal, and that is probably his biggest trait, a down to earth person with a good heart.
Amanda Westrick
Bridesmaid
My future new sister! A stranger that became my big sister since the first day I met her! Seems like we have know each other our whole lives, so I'm so thankful that we get to share OUR big days (her wedding in October) standing by each others sides. Amanda can make everyone around her laugh with her personality and I'm very lucky to have someone like her in my corner <3
Ryan Smith
Groomsman
My soon to be brother-in-law, although he hasn't really seen me as an "in-law", but more as a brother. He definitely has been over protective of his little sister, but after meeting me, he saw the good in me and the good I was for Sierra and Jax. Multiple times after spending time over at his place he would always text Sierra and tell her that she seems happier since she's been with me, which is quite the compliment, he would also add that he's happy that we met each other because it seemed that we were meant for each other. I'm super happy to have Ryan stand up in our wedding, because he saw in me the value that I definitely lost sight of.
Heather Miller
Bridesmaid
Heather and I grew up as just acquaintances even though we shared many classes together. It wasn't until after we were moms we reconnected at Med care where she was my boss, then my boss again and again at other places. They say the friends you have since you were little were the most important friends you will ever have but I really think its the people that join you in your early adult life and help you figure out life and who you are and who you want to be. Heather has taught me that its okay to spend the money on fun outfit and go to any concert we possible can! (I will never say no, obviously) Heather also taught me how important it is to chase your dreams and to never stop until you are where you want to be and has been my hype girl through all the times I have changed my mind and changed my direction on where I want to end up. Honestly, we all need a friend like her <3
Jeff Miller
Groomsman
Jeff and I met after I started at JW Hunt. He's a straight shooter, doesn't bother beating around the bush, and is always willing to give you the shirt of his back. Jeff and I have spent countless hours on the phone as we travel across state lines delivering milk to dairies, we've had a lot of good conversations, funny conversations, but more importantly, we've had quite a few heart to heart conversations. I see Jeff as a father figure, always giving me advise and always there to help, I'm sure he sees me as a son
Holley Priemer
Bridesmaid
Holley and I have been through the ringer starting many many years ago in 5th grade. Holley was my friend from a different class and I was in the same class as her then boyfriend ( because we all know how serious 5th grade relationships are, duh!) They were too scared to pass their loves notes back and fourth to each other so I was their middle man, and that is LITERALLY the first memory I have of Holley. We were always together at each others houses and always getting into some kind of trouble together. We share sooo many memories good and bad. We drift apart and we always come back to each other like no time has passed, in adulthood those kinds of friendships are so important! Between school dances, softball, traveling volleyball tournaments, sleepovers weekend after weekend we could write a book about all the crazy, funny (now, cringe) things we have done over the years. Now our friendship consists of talking about our babies and dogs... our favorite subjects anymore.
Aiden Smith
Groomsman
Aiden and I first met at JW Hunt, he was washing trucks when I first started, I think we really got along because I was the youngest driver at the time, I guess you could say two young kids playing with big trucks. Since Johnny and Aiden are really good friends, I guess it didn't take long for Aiden and I to be good friends. Aiden is a down to earth person with a good heart, always looking out for others and helping out when he can, he's always a phone call away and will never turn down the opportunity to help a good friend.
Aubrey Ouellette
JR. Bridesmaid
Our dear Aubrey, she has become a huge part of our family ever since Emilio's sister stated dating her dad, so we're super happy that she said yes to being part of our big day. I'm sure you'll find her on the dance floor once her Jr Bridesmaid duties are over.
Brody Smith
JR. Groomsmen
Brody, Sierra’s first born nephew, agreed to take on this role because I’m pretty sure he’s trying to see how many weddings he can be a part of in one year (only kidding but he’s in 3 weddings this year!) You can probably find Brody on the dance floor most of the night dancing with all the girls. (He has a track record for it)
Brinlee Smith
Flower Girl
Sierra's sweet sassy cute little niece. She has been so excited for this role since the day I asked her! She did tell me she didn't want me to ask her to be the flower girl, she wanted me to ask her to be the Bumble Bee. I'm going to assume you are going to find Brin on the dance floor the whole night singing to every song and she will not want to be interrupted during her song and dance <3
Abigail Ouellette
Flower Girl
Sweet Abby girl has been asking forever if it was time for our wedding yet. Abby got her dress and had to make sure to video chat Uncle Emilio to show him, nothing could take off the smile on her sweet face because she was so excited!
Liam Ouellette
Ring Bearer
Sweet little Liam, Uncle Emilio's little twin, we couldn't exactly ask him to be a part of our wedding, but I'm sure he would have been overjoyed.
