Wedding Party
Whitney Ortiz
Bride
Whitney is proof there is such a thing as love at first sight. From across the classroom Megan would hear her comments and couldn't help but giggle. Through late night study sessions, long walks, multi-day road trips, and never ending experiments, she has filled Megan's life with joy, laughter, and peace. Whitney is incredibly thoughtful, funny, kind, and determined. Her passion for science is only outshined by her fierce love of her fur babies, Trixie, Jinxx, Katya, and Foggy. Loving Whitney feels like letting the waves wash over you on the beach. If their love was a Taylor Swift Era, it would be "Lover".
Megan Medrano
Bride
Megan's bright personality lit up early morning classes and lore debates about spooky gay podcasts over lunch sealed the deal. Since then, she has been the brightest sun to cut through even the foggiest day. Megan is intelligent, driven, creative, confident, and only slightly sassy. Though all the starry nights and early mornings, spontaneous trips and unknowns, silly jokes and serious choices, she is there. Megan is proof that soulmates exist. Most likely to be an avatar of "The Web."
Ana Hernandez
Maid of Honor
Whitney and Ana have been best friends for 20 years! Growing up together, facing life together, Ana will be right by her side, just like Whitney will always be by hers. Most likely to be an avatar of "The Hunt."
Jennifer Pecina
Maid of Honor
Megan and Jennifer have been inseparable since the 2nd grade. This August will make 24 years of magical, fierce, chisme-filled best-friendship. If their friendship was a Taylor Swift Era it would be "Red (Taylor's Version)".
Sam Tye
Bridesman
Nothing brings you closer more than the trauma-bond of a crazy lab. Sam and Whitney have been besties ever since. Vent sessions, Korean BBQ, and movie marathons. Most likely to be an avatar of "The Buried."
Rachel Robertson
Maid of Honor
Megan is incredibly grateful that Rachel held her hostage after swim practice and introduced her to Les Mis and coffee junior year of high school. If their friendship was a Taylor Swift Era it would be "folklore".
Chloe Troupe
Bridesmaid
Whitney and Chloe have been procrastinating and laughing till they can't breath since getting their Masters. The best part of some crazy years. Coffee runs, kitty cats, and book clubs. Most likely to be an avatar of "The Spiral."
Stefanie Hettwer
Maid of Honor
Megan and Stefanie met in medical school and immediately hit it off. They knew they would be best friends from their very first lunch at Nama Ramen. If their friendship was a Taylor Swift Era it would be "1989 (Taylor's Version)".
Emily Perez
Bridesperson
Whitney and Emily went from fast friends to found family. Through philosophical discussions, boba stops, beach trips, and oldest sister syndrome, their friendship is special. Most likely to be an avatar of "The Desolation."
Elizabeth Negron
Bridesmaid
Megan and Liz met in the Romo Lab and bonded over the mousepocalypse of 2022. They love getting boba and trading chisme. If their friendship was a Taylor Swift Era it would be "Midnights Til Dawn Edition".
Kendall Esparrago
Officiant
Kendall has been Megan's emotional support lab mate since she joined the Romo Lab. Whitney crashed their boba fueled vent sessions and they became fast (weird) friends. Kendall is a brilliant, kind, hilarous friend who has seen our relationship evolve into what it is today which makes him the perfect person to officiate our big day. If their friendship was a Taylor Swift Era it would be "reputation". Most likely to be an avatar of "The Flesh."
