Ryan & Kristen
Wedding Party
Kelly Apodaca
Matron of Honor
Kelly is my oldest sister. Mom to the cutest niece in the world, Zoe. Kelly taught fatty and I about all things softball and life. She is always there for me and is the best oldest sister. She also lets me barrow her clothes and curling iron and doesn't get mad about it, so that's cool.
Kaitlyn Hooper
Maid of Honor
AKA Fatty, is my twin sister. We've known each other literally our whole lives. We enjoy our phone calls to each other on our way to and from work. We truly are each other's best friend, but NO we can't tell what each other are thinking or feeling.
Hollie Rae Hooper
Bridesmaid
Hollie Rae is my closest cousin. Only 6 months apart in age, she has always been like another sister. Hollie now lives in Chicago and nothing has changed. She is a ball of sunshine and energy. You can count on her to split a carton of ice cream with you on all nighters with no shame.
Courtney Delano
Bridesmaid
Courtney is one of the my oldest friends. We grew up together playing softball with and against each other. We love to participate in "Car Talks" where we spill everything that has been going on since we last saw each other. She is super cool.
Melissa Johnson
Bridesmaid
AKA Dr. MOJO. Mojo is another one of my oldest friends. You can always count on her to claim your gum wrappers and stop by the house whenever she goes out on a run. Mojo is the best. My Square wouldn't be complete without her.
Maymay Barba
Bridesmaid
Maymay is Ryan's cousin and mom to the coolest Niece Keilani. You can count on Maymay to document every special moment and always bring the family together. She has always been the most warm, welcoming and joyful person.
Keilani Barba
Bridesmaid
This is the cool Niece. I first met Keilani at her 5th birthday and now she has grown into a beautiful, intelligent young woman. I finally get to go from "Hopefully almost Aunt Kristen" to "Aunt Kristen" and I'm pretty stoked about that.
Courtney Rae Pattugalan
Bridesmaid
Courtney Rae is like my long lost sister that I met on my trip to Oxford. We became instant friends and then all of a sudden knew everything about each others entire lives. We always share our crazy nursing stories with each other. She is always down for brunch, sushi , ramen, Kebabs, drinks, and trivia.
Justin Ugale
Best Man
Justin is my big brother, Player One, and the best dude I know. I've looked up to this guy for my entire life, and that's not because he's slightly taller than I am. I admire his commitment to our family. He's undoubtedly my Best Man. I love this guy and you should too!
Taylor Peck
Groomsman
If I wasn't wildly in love with Kristen, I'd probably be getting married to this guy instead.
Austin Jones
Groomsman
The coolest, most artistic, handsome muchacho this side of the Mississippi. Whether it's skating to get donuts at 2AM or going on thoroughly informative and educational field trips at Mission San Juan Capistrano, I always have fun with this guy. This is my buddy.
Kevin Smyth
Groomsman
The two of us dressed up as the Three Blind Mice once. This stud was Greek Athlete of the Year and he's not even from Greece. Kevin is the kind of guy who tells the coolest stories and truly appreciates good soup.
JP La Vine
Groomsman
This jabroni is the only man that appreciates Nacho Libre as much as I do. JP is a lover of the NFL Combine and is an amateur roller derby enthusiast. I am certain that our friendship, like a single box of Twinkies, will last a lifetime.
Joe Bell
Groomsman
Joe loves Mike Tyson quotes as much as I do. He's likely the only guy that has endured as many softball games as I have. When it comes to watermelons, Joe is very knowledgeable. I'm glad that this dude will soon be my brother-in-law-in-law.
Phillip Walker
Groomsman
If I counted the number of times that I've driven Phillip somewhere, that number would surpass the amount of attempts that Plankton has tried to steal the Krabby Patty formula. He's been a close friend of mine since high school. Phillip was somehow able to make working in a stuffy Amazon warehouse somewhat enjoyable. I can go months without talking to the guy and we'll pick up right where we left off. He'd even be down to spontaneously attend a Body Count show with me.
Jasmine Patel
Groomswoman
Jasmine was my first friend at Chapman University. What a mistake that was.
Kenny Nguyen
Officiant
We wouldn't want anyone else to officiate our wedding.
