Wedding Party
Sarah Siems
Maid of Honor
"TJ and I first met through sports when we were younger, but what really sealed the deal for our friendship was when she gave me her tootsie roll one morning at church during youth group. We were inseparable from that point on spending every weekend we could together and any other extra time we could spare. TJ quickly became the sister in my life that I always prayed for. Kyle came into the picture when we were separated through college, and I was happy to see just how happy he made her. Now that we are both back in Yucaipa with our significant others, we enjoy spending time all together whenever our busy schedules allow it. TJ and I have been by each others sides through the highest of highs and lowest of lows of our lives and I am beyond honored to have the opportunity to stand by her side for what will be one of the happiest days of her life."

Matron of Honor
"TJ & I met in high school through soccer. Although I was a senior & she was a freshman, we instantly bonded. Through the years, TJ & I have remained close friends. She was part of my big day & now I cannot wait to be part of hers. Through TJ, Kyle has become friends with my husband and we all enjoy hanging out together. I’m so excited to celebrate two of our favorite people!"
Kelly Martinez
Maid of Honor
"TJ and I have known each other since we were kids, but her friendship is the true definition of 'you don’t have to talk every single day, but can pick up right where you left off'. After coming home from college in 2021, we were able to pick up right where we were before college. TJ and Kyle were able to help me through one of the hardest years of my life. They helped put a smile back on my face and let me know I was loved. Cheers to many happy years for the beautiful couple."
Maddie Verosik
Bridesmaid
"Being TJ’s cousin, we have known each other for a long time. But these past few years we have gotten really close. Honestly, she’s my favorite cousin! Getting to know TJ and Kyle has been the best. I’m lucky I have both of these people in my life, and I'm so happy I get to be part of their very special day!"
Marisa Perry
Bridesmaid
"TJ & I became the best of 'roommates' once she started student teaching down in Oceanside. Not only were Mike and I thrilled with open arms to have her live with us during this time of transition, but I was grateful to have her become such a rad friend. From late night talks, park dates with Meadow, or trying to find the best Christmas lights 20 miles away from our house… we always know how to have a great time!"
Cory Heggenberger
Best Man
"I'm Kyle's older brother, and I moved states almost eight years ago now, so unfortunately I've missed a lot through the years. However, I've gotten to know TJ during their trips to see me in AZ and my trips to CA, and I think that she's such a wonderful person and has made such a positive impact on Kyle. Kyle, I'm proud of you and the person you've become and I'm honored you asked me to be your best man. I'm also very happy to be welcoming TJ into our family. I'm looking forward to seeing the two of you grow for the rest of our lives!"

"Kyle and I became friends because our moms forced us to hang out. Even though it was embarrassing at the time, I can never thank our mothers enough for the lifelong friendship and countless memories that were created. Kyle has always been there for the milestones in my life, and I am glad I am here for the biggest in his. Congratulations to the amazing couple!"

"Back in second grade, I crossed paths with a kid sporting a rather unfortunate bowl cut, just like mine. Little did we know that this gnarly hairstyle would be the beginning of a great 15+ year friendship. We went from playing ball-wall on the elementary playground to sharing the experience of being on the same basketball team in middle school. Our high school years were a movie of shared experiences and countless memories. And now, as we've grown, I have the privilege of standing by his side, watching my brother marry the woman of his dreams, and I can’t wait!

"I’ve know Kyle for over 10 years, which has been one of my greatest pleasures. He has been a great friend and brother to me, and to see him find his forever partner and lover has been a beautiful thing. I am excited to see his and Tj’s future together."
Peter Nguyen
Groomsman
"Kyle and I met during high school and have been friends ever since. Whether it’s playing billiards, going to the beach, or hanging out at the brewery, it’s always a great time. I’ve been fortunate to learn more about Kyle through the years and witness his relationship with TJ grow and blossom with each passing year. I can’t wait to see Kyle and TJ on their big day. Cheers to the amazing couple!"

"I’m super duper excited for these two to get married. I’ve know both of them since high school and ever since, they've been inseparable. It’s an honor to watch my good old pals, Kyle and TJ take their relationship to an unbreakable bond. For I know these two have a special kind of love. The kind that shares the last bowl of cereal when there is only enough milk for one."
