Wedding Party

Shined Trujillo

Matron of Honor

Shined and Tatiana have known each other for a long time! They became friends junior year of high school and best friends senior year. Shined keeps Tatiana sane and Tatiana is always there to help Shined when she needs it. They make each other laugh uncontrollably while also being each others shoulders to cry on when life gets hard. They defend each other no matter what! If you see her at the wedding she will most likely be dancing the night away with Tatiana and her husband, Keanu!

Andy Herman

Best Man

Andy and Jamil's first encounter can only be described as follows: When the moon is in the Seventh House and Jupiter aligns with Mars, then peace will guide the planets and love will steer the stars... or something like that. In truth, drums and serving on the worship team together (despite both being drummers) connected the two, resulting in many sweet hangs, pizza nights, and eventually roommate companionship. However, all of these fall short to the connection they developed through a brotherly bond in Christ. The Jamdy is Real.

Tamara Herman

Matron of Honor

Tatiana and Tamara met in 2016 when Tamara and her husband Andy came back to New Mexico to visit. Andy is Jamil's best friend, so when they all decided to hangout, Tatiana and Tam quickly hit it off. Although Tam was only in New Mexico for a week, they kept in touch through texting, snapchat and it became real once they started calling each other; sharing 3+ hour phone calls some days. Tam is now Tatiana's best friend!!! They call each other "friendo" and its pretty darn great! Both of them are creative and vibe off of each others ideas! Tam is sure to keep Tatiana laughing on her wedding day. You can also catch Tam getting the party started with her fab goofy self. Make sure to check out the pie she's making for the bride and groom. Her creations are legit!!

Jelani Jackson

Best Man

Natalia Corwell

Bridesmaid

Natalia and Tatiana are sisters. They have definitely come a long way because when they were little I'm sure at least one of them plotted the other ones death. All jokes aside, they have grown to become super close even though they still annoy each other on a daily basis. Due to the whole sister bond, they can communicate with one another without saying a single word. This especially comes in handy when classified info needs to be shared. They balance each other out and are always there for each other. The love is real!

Jalin

Groomsman

Jalin and Jamil... what can I say about this friendship outside of that fact that the universe was at peace the day that God brought them together. Just straight stars aligning magic from day one. These two can be found making "All kinds of gains" and "Being some grown men." In addition you can find them serenading strangers with beautiful song, geeking over Dragon Ball Z, Manga and busting a quick move like the man dimes that they are.

Carmi Byrd

Bridesmaid

Carmi and Tatiana became close friends through attending the same young adults group called Rise. They became close super fast and were able to bond over so many things. They can talk for hours and their friendship only continues to grow in Christ. They have fun playing games together, shopping and going on double dates as they both are in a season of preparing for marriage. Catch Carmi at the wedding hyping Tatiana up while also glowing herself, as she will be newly married to Taylor.

Woodrow Sunderman

Groomsman

Woodrow and Jamil, all that can be said is at any given time Woodrow is catching a bucket or two on the court...the end. No, but really when Jalin, Jamil, and Woodrow were together magic was real. I mean it didn't matter what plans were already made, Jamil would cancel for these quality hangs. Woodrow is the kind of friend that has your back even when you deserve to get dropped. This is 100% one of those friendships that will last a life time.

Stacey Bronoski

Bridesmaid

Stacey and Tatiana first met when Stacey joined James and Camilla's couples small group. Their friendship was rooted in Christ and they have helped each other in "not taking the bait" as they would say and being there for each other through the hard seasons of life. Although they have not known each other long, they feel as though they have been friends for forever and Stacey can always make Tatiana laugh which is a plus because Tatiana happens to love funny people. Stacey is sure to help Tatiana have the most fun of her life as she steps into this new chapter of marriage.

Eric Morgan

Groomsman

Like all fated encounters, The meeting of Eric and Jamil was brought about be a girl... and the internet. However, not all stories have the smoothest beginning. Their first real meeting was truly awkward (cinematically so) almost tragic, but a friendship persevered through straightened hair, McDoubles and breakdowns in chemistry class. This followed itself to the nature and only progression of starting a band. Fast forward 7 odd years and you will still see these two on stage bouncing or in the studio writing phat beats like one unified person. Music continues to keep them connected from year to year.

Alyssa Poras

Bridesmaid

Alyssa and Tatiana are both in Jamil's small group on Friday nights. Besides both having a passion for serving and reading God's word, they also love talking about different things and "shading" annoying people. Only kidding!! At least only a litte, haha... They also enjoy going to the gym together when they have time. Alyssa and Tatiana have stood beside each other through anxiety battles and have both become stronger through the friendship that God has blessed them with. Alyssa is sure to make others laugh and smile at the wedding. Catch her and her boyfriend Ryan being couple goals at the wedding.

Ryan Castas

Groomsman

As mentioned before, not all stories have smooth beginnings... that being said Ryan and Jamil haven't always seen eye to eye. I don't think the word hate entirely misses their feelings toward each other, but God moves in mysterious ways! Thanks to serving on the same worship team and eventually joining a small group of accountability partners, these two were forced to put aside old feelings and unit as brother in Christ for a greater purpose. This sparked a life long friendship of accountability, encouragement and laughter, seriously if you haven't been around Ryan there is never dull moment. (Jamil should just keep his camera on him and make Ryan internet famous.)

Gabriella Culberson

Bridesmaid

Aside from being Tatiana's mentor in Christ, Gabriella is also one of Tatiana's good friends. They met through attending Rio church and their friendship quickly grew as they began to see more of each other. Gabriella has always been willing to lend a helping hand to Tatiana. Tatiana has grown so much because of their friendship. They have fun talking and laughing about whatever. They don't have to be doing something "over the top" to enjoy each others company. Gabriella is so kind and Tatiana is blessed to have her in her life. Catch Gubs at the wedding being a light to everyone there!

Nathan Culberson

Groomsman

Awe Nathan, what a guy! In the beginning, Jamil and Nathan had similar feelings for each other in that they had no opinion of each other nor did they care to gain one. That is until the inevitability that was, "Whitechapel" (very metal band) drew them together like hope drawing dreams to action! Now, I know what your thinking... that's a bit extreme also, is whitechapel christian?! Well to answer you Yes, yes it is and no... no they aren't. Anyway through the power of small group and metal these two became best buds and confide in each other. They spur one another to love and good deeds and share the stage leading others into worship often.

Emily Corwell

Flower Girl

Emily is Tatiana's little sister. Although they are 11 years apart in age they are still close. They enjoy watching Disney movies late at night and crashing out on the couch together. Tatiana can get on Emily's nerves when she always asks Emily to do "favors" for her around the house. But what do you really expect out of an older sister? Emily makes Tatiana laugh and they both stand up for each other. You can catch Emily being sassy and having fun with her family. She takes family very seriously and is happy about her new brother in laws.

Ansel Robertson

Ring Bearer

This little man is Jamil's youngest & cutest brother! For some Unknown reason we have tacked "pants" onto his name resulting in, "Ansel pants", "Cute pants", "Smelly pants" and pretty much any word with "Pants" added to the end. If that wasn't impressive enough, the kid knows/ has played pretty much any game you can think of, making him some kind of Online wizard. Truly something worthy of anyone's respect. They get along pretty well, except when Jamil has to guilt Ansel into giving him affection (what are you gonna do?) Brotherly love am I right?!
