Maid of Honor
Alyssa (AKA Sissa)...Alyssa has always been my best friend. She has taught me so much over the years and I am so lucky to have her as a sister. Although she might be one of the most competitive persons I have ever met, she is also one of the most caring. Alyssa has always been there for me in my best and worst times and is never seen without a big smile on her face. Alyssa enjoys playing/coaching softball, reading, and competing in all sports. She gives me the best advice and is always there when I need her no matter what. I couldn't have my special day without my sister by my side as my Maid of Honor!
Best Man
The Brother: Jake is my big brother and has been at my side every step along my journey in life. We have had our ups and downs growing up as brothers but I can truly say that I am blessed to have such a wonderful relationship with my big brother. Jake is a personal trainer and currently attending school to become a physical therapist. He lives the healthiest of life styles and is someone who I stride to be like. Jake loves to workout, play Assassin Creed, play guitar, talk politics, help and teach people, and eat food.. Lots of food. Our relationship has grown so much over the years and I am ecstatic that he will be standing right next to me while I wed my wife.
Bridesmaid
Sophie (AKA Lizard)...the newest edition to the Reina family! I am so lucky to have gained a new sister as sweet and caring as Soph. She fits perfectly into our loud, athletic, and chaotic family! Soph is always down for a good time and willing to help me whenever needed. Soph and I are lucky enough to have our wedding very close to one another, so it has been fun planning out our big days together. Soph is currently in nursing school and she enjoys running, being married to Joey, and playing soccer. I couldn't imagine having my special day without her!

The Competitive One: If you need someone to go toe to toe with you, please meet Joey Reina. Joey is Kaitlyn's big and only brother and we kicked it off since day one. Joey is the most competitive person I know and can get in full blown competition mode over a game of "Sorry". Joey and I stride to better one another and he has helped push me into the person I am today. Joey is the most loyal, generous, and dedicated friend out there. Joey loves to play sports, play any game that has a hint of competitiveness, and loves/hates the stock market. He is an original blade bro and I am grateful that he will be by my side when I wed his baby sister.
Bridesmaid
Ashlyn (AKA Ash)...Ash has been one of my best friends since we played basketball together at Sierra College. We made a perfect pair because I could always count on her to eat all the raisins out of my trail mix and leave me with the good stuff. Over the years, we have stayed best friends and have made so many memories together. Ash enjoys working out, spoiling our pup Cooper, and playing basketball. She is the reason Sam and I met that night at a friend's house and so I couldn't have this day without her by my side. Without Ash, I wouldn't be walking down the aisle and enjoy becoming Mrs. Bennett.

The DJ: Travis and I met freshman year in college and joined the same fraternity. Our motto is to "establish friendships on a firmer and more lasting basis", and that is exactly what we have accomplished. Travis and I have always set our differences aside and he has been there along my side since we met. I placed him as "the DJ" because you won't see Travis on the dance floor dancing the night away or at the bar socializing with friends. You will see him in the corner by the speaker, on his phone, picking the next Michael Jackson song for us to dance to. Travis loves to play video games, knows everything there is to know about Star Wars, and has the patience to watch an entire baseball game. I love him as a brother and am excited to have him by my side while I wed Kaitlyn.
Bridesmaid
Raeg (AKA Ronald Reagan)....Raeg and I have known each other since we were kids. Although we were frenemies when we played against each other in high school basketball, we become very best friends shortly after. She and I were fortunate enough to be teammates throughout our entire college career at both Sierra College and CSU San Marcos. Raeg was my rock in college and has been, to this day, there for me every step of the way. We have some of the best memories from living together during and after college and is always down for a good time. She is the one who always gets the party going and keeps people laughing. Raeg enjoys playing basketball, being with friends, and cooking/baking. I couldn't marry Sam without Raeg by my side!

The Party King: Tommy and I met in college and where stuck like glue ever since. Tommy is one of the most resourceful people I know and if a problem arises he is the go to person. If you have been lucky enough to know about Tommy's "Jungle Juice" you know that everyone that has partied with us has had a blast. I know when Tommy comes to town that I am in for a whirlwind of fun. Tommy can never sit still just like me and has the energy and patience to keep up with me. Tommy is one of the most hardworking people I know and will sacrifice his own personal well being to get the job done. Tommy loves to golf, dance, socialize, be around friends, and Modelo Especial with a splash of orange juice. I am absolutely thrilled to have Tommy by my side while I wed Kaitlyn.
Bridesmaid
Jen (AKA Jenny Craig)...Along with Ash, I was lucky enough to meet Jen playing basketball at Sierra College. We knew we were going to be best friends when we both had our hair in buns, or at least that's what Jen always tells me. I have some of the best and funniest memories with Jen by my side. She is always able to keep people smiling and entertained. Jen has one of the sweetest hearts I have ever met and I am lucky to call her one of my best friends! Jen enjoys playing with her new pup Zephyr, working out, and being with her friends and family. I couldn't be able to do my big day without Jen by my side!
Groomsman
The Blonde: There was this one time that Chace pointed at the oven at the house we stayed in and asked if it was an oven. He has had many of those blonde moments over the years since I've known him but he is one of the funniest people I know, Chace and I knew each other through college but strengthened our relationship after college where we were room mates for a time. Even though we make fun of Chace's "blondeness", he is one of the most hardworking, respectful, and book smart people I know. Chace is an avid movie and show watcher and could tell you anything there is to know about Game of Thrones. He loves sports and his love and competitiveness for fantasy football in incomparable. I am blessed to have Chace by my side while I wed Kaitlyn.
Bridesmaid
Cassie (AKA Cass)... Cass and I began our friendship back in high school. We stayed friends throughout college even though she was up in Chico (along with Sam) while I was down in San Diego. Now that we both live in the same city, we hang out constantly. Cass is one of the most wittiest people I know and she is always down for a good time. She is always ready to get the party going and getting everyone involved. Cass is always keeping up with the fashion trends, and loves traveling with her friends and family. If you ever need a golf lesson, you can give Cass a call as she is the local golf pro. I’m so excited to have Cass with me on my big day!

The American: I grew up with Jackson & he is one of my oldest friends. It makes me so happy to have a friend that dates back to our early childhood and that we have continued to grow & build our relationship through the years. Jackson was a platoon leader for the army & has been deployed oversea where he was responsible for over 50 men during his time in Afghanistan. There is no higher honor I see in any person I know, to serve his country & protect what we hold dear & call our home. Jackson currently is a DevOps engineer, is in the army reserves as an engineer officer, & lives with his newly wedded wife, Michelle. Jackson loves to hunt, shoot guns, play video games, & be around his family & dogs. I am honored that Jackson will be by my side while I take Kaitlyn’s hand in marriage.
