Amanda & Stephano
Our Amazing Wedding Party
Janet Segura
Matron of Honor
We met in seventh grade while trying out for the volleyball team, keyword, trying. We realized immediately how awful we both were and fell to the floor laughing at our attempts. Our friendship blossomed through all the years; from letters back and forth in junior high, to drill team in high school, to fun visits in college, to each other's 30th birthday parties, to now, another life-changing year of events for both of us; Janet having Cami and me getting married. People come and go, but once in awhile, you meet certain people who you know are going to stay in your life forever. These people are your tribe.
Adriana Munive
Bridesmaid
We met in 6th grade in Reading class and quickly became inseparable. We're been through it all together; laughter, tears, love & heartbreak but we still manage to help each other pull through, no matter what! She can appear shy to people that don't know her, but once she opens up, she is the sweetest and funniest girl I know!
Barbara Edwards
Bridesmaid
We met through drill team in high school -- had so many fun memories growing up together. Through thick and thin, parties back then, constant sushi and late Christmas gifts, we will never give up on our friendship! And in our friendship, as she does as a mom, she always looks on the bright side of things.
Cori Reitz
Bridesmaid
We were college roomies later in life, but had known each other since junior high. Though it took years for us to become friends, God had great plans for these two together. She's the ying to my yang, the blonde to my brunette. Without this "BG" ... life just wouldn't be the same.
Jennifer McBee
Bridesmaid
We met through Cori just a few years ago and became fast friends. Both being in sales, we understand the balance it takes to take care of our accounts but as well as making sure we take care of ourselves. We hold each other accountable and make sure everything is going right in our lives. "There in a heartbeat!"
Maggie Sempe
Bridesmaid
When we were little, we used to dance in Maggie's living room, possibly the reason we tried out for drill team together! Through every step of our lives; elementary, junior high, high school and even college at A&M together, we have always shared a common bond! And though Maggie is a mom of 2 now, busier than ever, she is still the as genuine & kind hearted as she was, when we first met!
Maria Lugo
Bridesmaid
We used to be asked all the time in high school if we were sisters. Now, no matter the time that goes between us, we can always talk as if we haven't missed a day! Along with my other bridesmaids, we share an equal amount of love, border line obsession for "Friends." She's our Phoebe! With a million embarrassing moments together, and now a few cities a part, we will always be there for each other for anything.
Lucy Goldsmith
Mother of the Bride
Having grown up, I see it, as does Stephano, how much I’ve become just like my mom. We tend to dress the same at times, which he doesn't miss an opportunity to point out to us, not to mention all the funny quarks she has. My mom is a very caring person so I’m grateful that I have a large part of her personality.
Peter Goldsmith
Father of the Bride
My dad is quite the character, his British sense of humor never fails him. He has taught me how to be independent and strong. I owe a lot of my drive and determination to him and also for making me want to constantly work on bettering myself. Though he appears to have a hard exterior at times, those that know him, know he’s a ball of love on the inside.
Stephen Taylor
Best Man
We know each other from high school playing football together. Our relationship grew closer when we worked at Best Buy and started working out together. We used to workout at 7am, but would call each other beforehand to make sure the other was going, Stephen always tried to get out of a morning work out. Short after, we became roommates in college, was part of his family, and I was a Best Man in his wedding. I give him the credit to getting me into stocks/investing and remember when we sat on his couching thinking Apple was too expensive to buy at $80/share before it went to $750. We have both helped and influenced each other along the way and who knows what paths we would’ve taken if we didn’t know one another.
Dimitri Tsaganis
Best Man
He is my older brother! Growing up, we did everything together from lighting random things on fire to getting lost in the woods. Most of the time, we even had identical clothes and matched like twins. We always have had each others backs and always will.
Jeremy Brannon
Groomsman
We met each other through Crossfit and used to compete together. We used to work together at the same medical company (Jeremy would give me advice and teach me his ways) and grew closer and closer. We are both part Greek, have similar thoughts and similar interest. Jeremy and I talk about all aspects of life and I definitely wouldn't be where I am or who I am if it wasn't for him.
Nick Tsaganis
Father of the Groom
My dad is well known for his amazing cooking throughout the years. I remember hating vegetable and then he makes a dish with just green beans and to his day, is a personal favorite. He helped bring me into this world and like my mom, I wouldn't be the man I am now, if it were't for him. He has taught me many life lessons he learned from that are imperative today and has always been extremely proud of his boys. He always pushed education, doing the right thing, obeying the law, and great food. From the bottom of my heart, THANk YOU for your love and support. I love you, Dad!
Vivien Tsaganis
Mother of the Groom
Without her, I wouldn't be where I am today :) She helped raise 3 wild boys, and to this day, I'm not sure how they did it. She taught us how to be independent, tough, and to stick together as a family. I love you, Mom.
John Koukas
Groomsman
Our parents were good friends before we were born so we grew up together. We thought each other as family and helped each other a long the way. We were in the same grade, played football together, lived together, and played lots of Playstation. One of our favorite things to do back in the day was eat a big breakfast then throw the football in the street before an NFL game came on.
John Jones
Officiant
We used to work together back in 2015. When I first met John, I knew there was something special about him. He always has great advice with every subject and has a metaphor for everything. He is definitely a mentor, a great friend and someone I look up to.
