The One Where They Get Married
Wedding Party
Riley Martinez
Maid of Honor
Chloe and I have been BFFs since she was born. Our parents brought her home from the hospital and I declared she was “my baby”. Being her big sister has been one of the greatest blessings God ever gave me. I cannot wait to watch her walk down the aisle and marry the love of her life. This big sister is going to bawl like a baby!

Ryan and I met at GCU during a campus wide competition, where Ryan had to come to terms with my athletic superiority. Later that week, we ran into each other again during move-in and a conversation was sparked by one of his tattoos (God, Family, Others - shoutout Plum Creek Church in CO). Chloe and my wife were also roommates that same year, so the four of us became inseparable. I’ve never had a friend like Ryan before and Chloe has a huge role to play in that. She brings out the best in him and I’m forever grateful to have them both as friends. Ryan and I have led ministry groups, won intramural championships, been on countless weekend road trips, and lived a lot of life together, but there is no greater joy and honor than knowing I get to stand by his side on his wedding day.

When Chloe and I first met freshman year, I thought she looked familiar. Then, I realized I had stalked her on social media while looking for a roommate. I’m still shocked she didn’t think I was a weirdo after I told her! Chloe has been one of my best friends ever since! I am so blessed I got to know such a genuine, kind, loving, beautiful, and God-fearing woman over the past 6 years. We have been through some of the toughest times together - breakups, family drama, intense classes, life transitions, and the in-between. Through all of it, her character and love for Jesus have shined through. Some of my most favorite college memories are with my friend Chloe. She is an incredible friend and will be an amazing wife. I am so excited to stand by her side as she marries the man of her dreams!

Ryan and I met working together at the Nike Outlet Store in Castle Rock, Colorado. We had a million things in common. But, what made us close, was our journey through faith. Ryan and I wrestled with scriptures and found belonging in Bible studies. We shared our hearts and thoughts together and we have seen TREMENDOUS triumph. He is a special part of my life, and may our friendship last from this lifetime to the next! All love!

Chloe and I first met junior year of college when we were set up as roommates by a mutual friend. After a week of living together, she thought she made a terrible mistake, but she let me stick around. I am thankful for that year of growth, love, and laughter that turned into the best lifelong friendship that I could have asked for. Chloe is the most compassionate, empathetic, and joyful human. While I’ve loved how our friendship has grown, it’s even more special seeing how her and Ryan’s relationship has strengthened over the years. I am so excited to celebrate you two on April 28th! Love you both so much!

Ryan and I go way back…Way back to the third grade, Ryan and I grew up playing sports together and eventually ended up being college roommates (the best roommate I could ever ask for). I have had the pleasure of growing up with him and being around him and over all these years Ryan has ultimately became a brother. I am extremely proud of the man he has become and is striving to be. He has a true heart after God and has a natural way of shining Gods light through everything he does. I can’t wait to continue to watch him grow with his beautiful bride to be! Love you and Chloe both!

I’ve always dreamed of having a sister and finally my dream is coming true. I couldn’t have imagined a better person to be my sister in law. I’m so grateful that someone as kind hearted as Chloe is going to be my sister! Chloe is truly the sweetest soul and brings joy to everyone around her. She’s the perfect new addition to our family and I can’t wait to celebrate Chloe and Ryan!

Ryan has always been someone I look up to. When I was little, we would watch sports together and I would ask, “What team do you want to win?”. Then, I would cheer on that team with him. When he’d play a song in the car, I’d use that song as a memory and a way to be connected with him deeper. When Ryan went to college our relationship grew significantly and our bond grew stronger. I always saw him as a big brother, and now I see him as a best friend, mentor, and someone with better shoe game. It’s remarkable the things Ryan has accomplished the past few years. To see his relationship with God bring him closer to people. To witness his relationship with Chloe is truly a blessing and I’m grateful to have been a part of their journey. I absolutely can’t wait to see what their future holds!
