Wedding Party

Hannah Rivera

Maid of Honor

Hannah is Talia’a best friend of over 10 years. Meeting in elementary school, Hannah started off as Talia’s older sister’s friend. She slept over frequently, and as the annoying little sister typically does, Talia always tried to butt in on everything they were doing and ended up spending a lot of time with them. As we all grew up, Hannah and Talia’s relationship grew stronger as her and her sister started drifting apart. By the time they were in high school, they were practically inseparable. So, Talia didn’t have to give a second thought as to who would be her maid of honor. Over the years, Hannah has dabbled in many hobbies that have developed into passions. From keeping reptiles, fish tanks, and insects, to growing her houseplant collection, as well as trying every art medium she can get her hands on. Most recently she has been working on insect pinning! She loves all things oddities, so it only made sense for her to combine that with her love of art and creativity.

Amarie Hunkin

Bridesmaid

Amarie is Talia’s coworker. They both started within a few months of each other, and that along with how close they are in age, the friendship came naturally. Amarie is the embodiment of fun, the life of the party. She is always laughing and singing, it’s hard not to have a good time when she is around. She is one of the 7’s(iykyk), a huge sneaker head, and practically lives at the movie theater. They have done so many fun thing over the years, get togethers at home and work functions as well, some highlights being the work Christmas party, a trip to the county fair and, helping Talia pick out THE dress 🩷 It was a no brainer to add Amarie to the wedding party.

Rhoda Arredondo

Bridesmaid

Rhoda is another coworker of Talia and Brandon. Frequently joining in on our girls days, hanging out, she always has the best advice and definitely can match the vibe. She has been there through every phase with the Bride and Groom, moving in, engagement, and has been extremely supportive during the planning process.

Jennifer Alverez Flores

Bridesmaid

Jennifer also met Brandon and Talia at work, and although she has moved on, she still remains close knit with our group. She often comes out for girls days and drinks after work. She started at our work around the same time Amarie and Talia started so with all their training and timelines being so close they relied on each other a lot. During that time and all getting to know each other, they became quick friends.

James Brock

Best Man

Brandon and James met in high school in sophomore year. They became fast friends and James became an important part of Brandon’s life in the coming years. They are the kind of friends that can go months without seeing each other and pick back up like it’s been a week despite changes in both of their lives. The frog to Brandon’s toad, James has given Brandon guidance and someone to lean on over the years despite getting each other in trouble frequently as teenagers. James enjoys riding dirtbikes, hunting, whiskey, good food and the outdoors. He is a certified diesel mechanic and can fix just about anything with wheels.
