Officiant
My oldest brother will be officiating our wedding, a role that fills my heart with joy. Not only has he been a devoted provider for his family, but his silly, fun-loving spirit has always made every moment brighter. I cherish our adventures together in Washington, where his humor and warmth turned every day into a treasured memory. Even now, he never misses a chance to FaceTime and check on me, reminding me that love and support are never far away. I’m incredibly grateful for his endless love and the laughter he brings into my life, and I couldn’t imagine a more perfect person to help us start this new chapter.
Matron of Honor
Meet my sister, Genaya. Together, we’ve shared so many memories from exploring the vibrant streets of Puerto Rico to enjoying quiet moments in Big Bear (even thought it ended with me falling off a ski lift). I’m so proud of all that she has achieved, and I can’t wait to have her by my side as we celebrate my wedding day.
Maid of Honor
Val has been my partner in crime since our college days as bridal consultants (#SimplyBridalCrew). We’ve shared the highs and the lows, from dealing with loss and surviving COVID to almost getting matching SpongeBob tattoos (still pending)! As fellow true crime lovers, we’re always on the same wavelength. She’s my shot gun rider (iykyk) and my forever best friend. I couldn’t be happier to have her by my side on my wedding day.
Bridesmaid
Meet my fabulous sister-in-love, Marissa. I was lucky enough to stand by her side at her wedding, and now every visit to Washington means dancing our hearts out and having jokes for days. She's the life of the party, always keeping the good times rolling, and she even blessed me with three handsome nephews. I'm so grateful for the joy and laughter she brings into my life.
Bridesmaid
Sheana, my sister in love, a true country music lover. Some of our best memories have been our time at Stagecoach together and going line dancing. Not only has she given me two wonderful nephews, she is a wonderful wife to my brother. I'm beyond grateful to have her.
Bridesmaid
Lauren, my soon to be Sister in Law! We met at CSULA (#BlackandYellow) during our freshman year of college. We've shared many good times together, Vegas trips, concerts, river adventures, and annual Christmas baking. Because of her, I met Chris, the love of my life, and for that I will always be thankful. I'm excited to begin the next chapter of our lives with new beginnings.
Best Man
I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Daniel for almost 25 years. We started out as childhood neighbors and became inseparable ever since. So many of our life experiences together helped shape me into the person I am today from terrorizing the neighborhood as kids, to eating way too much Domino’s pizza, to drinking Dr. Pepper until we were about to burst. I appreciate that he always makes time for me, even when it’s 5 a.m. and he’s just getting home from a late work shift.
Groomsman
We were originally enemies, he once accused me of cheating on the mile run and even told our P.E. teacher. Now he’s my Manga confidante. I can always go to him to talk about the latest anime or to keep me updated on all the “fat kid deals” on Twitter. P.S. … I did cheat on the mile.
Groomsman
I met “DD” sometime after Bree and I first started dating, and we instantly bonded over our love of anime. He’s an amazing uncle to our two dogs, Kali and Ichigo, and never complains when we ask him to babysit at the last minute. He’s also my go-to partner in Destiny 2, and and I’m grateful to be gaining him as a future brother-in-law.
Groomsman
Oh, the many things I could say about David that would definitely need to be censored or redacted. Many late nights of gaming and eating junk food at his house are some of my fondest memories. His patience with me truly knows no bounds which I have to give him credit for, because I know I annoy the daylights out of him on a daily basis with my long-winded storytelling.
Groomsman
The man with the plan, Travis has always been the one down to organize a trip or a hangout. Whether it was a house party or a weekend in Vegas, he’s the most literal guy I know, and I’m so happy to call him a friend. Even if he did judge me for ordering a peanut butter sandwich at a bagel shop.
