Bridal Party

Meet Rachel! Rachel is my sister, not by blood but by choice. We have been best friends since the fourth grade where I attended her birthday party at John's Incredible Pizza. Ever since that day we were inseparable growing up, and from this day on I still can't imagine doing life without her. No matter where we have ended up, we have always been there for each other and stayed close through it all.  I'm so proud of the person she is and grateful of her love and support through all these years. I'm excited to have her as my right hand woman on my special day and can't wait for you guys to meet her too!

Rachel

This is my sista from another mista, Stephanie! Growing up, some of my favorite memories with Stephanie was sipping chocolate chip Frappuccino's from Starbucks, and blasting Black Eyed Peas like it was our own personal concert! She never gives up on creating an amazing life for herself, no matter what obstacle is thrown her way. I'm proud to call her my sister and even prouder to have her by my side on my wedding day!

Stephanie

Meet Sarah! Sarah and I met at SUI during our ultrasound program, and I knew right away that we'd be great friends. We initially bonded over our lunch breaks at Chick-fil-a, but our friendship grew over our shared love for cycle classes, acai bowls, and a good deal on happy hours! She's a friend who keeps me grounded and reminds me to persevere through the toughest of times. Her morning audio text messages of encouragement always puts a smile on my face, and I'm so grateful to have her by my side through it all!

Meet Natasha, aka Tashy Pop! Natasha and I met at SUI while studying to become ultrasound technologists. It didn't take long for us to realize we'd be instant friends, especially after discovering our shared love for amazing food and a good glass of cabernet! She's not only an incredible friend, but someone who continues to teach me so much about our career and life in general. I'm so thankful for her constant kindness, support, and laughter she brings wherever she goes!

Natasha

Meet Gurpreet, aka Gurpy! Gurpeet and I first met in high school when we played a 1v1 basketball game. She was on the junior basketball team while I was still on the freshman team, but that never mattered. From the very start, she treated me with such kindness and generosity. Since then, she's traveled the world and continues to inspire me to live life boldly and on my own terms. She's boujee, a matcha lover, and the best photographer I know, but most importantly someone I'm so lucky to call my friend!

Meet Morgan! Morgan and I met at Sierra College in our art history class. Since the moment we met, we have been nothing but giggles and smiles. Morgan always knows how to plan the best adventures to keep our outings fun, and recognizes when to listen and give the most thoughtful advice. I'm so grateful that we have remained close for 7 years now, and I am so proud of where both of our lives have ended up for us! Can't wait to have her by my side the day I say I do!

Groom's Party

Meet Chris!
Chris is my oldest friend and the brother that I never had. After becoming friends in kindergarten the two of us were inseparable for most of grade school. We shared hobbies, stayed up late playing video games and got up early to practice basketball and football. We both dreamt of playing college football for SoCal rivals UCLA and USC. Life took us in different direction but we both ended up becoming engineers and maintaining that same childhood friendship. Kobe!

Chris

Meet Sean! Sean missed the first day of health and wellness class in the summer before 9th grade and he was sitting in my unassigned assigned seat on the second day. We shared way too many classes through high school but I’ll never forget the English Sci-Fi and AP Art History fun we had. His infectious positivity and killer bass skills make him great company and someone you can always rely on. I go by Dominick, I can teach health. 

Sean

Meet Payton! Payton and I share a love for the LA Kings and the LA Dodgers, along with many hours spent playing Fortnite and Rocket League. This guy knows how to rock out on the drums and his vinyl collection is superb. He is one of the funniest guys I know and his friendship has meant a lot to me over the years. I’m honored to have him standing by my side on the big day. Our friend??

Payton

Meet Kyle! 
From first chair on the ski lift to last call at the bar, this guy is always down for a good time. Whether we’re skiing, snowboarding, running Warzone squads, golfing (sometimes well), or crushing a few beers, there’s never a dull moment with him around. Couldn’t imagine the big day without him by my side. Grab him a drink and he’ll easily be the life of the party! Revive me!

Kyle

Meet Tyson! Tyson and I met at UC Davis as we both pursued our engineering degrees. Many sleepless nights in the library and on G street in downtown Davis has made Tyson a friend I will always remember. While Tyson and I never officially lived together in college he somehow snaked his way into our house group chat and probably spent more time at my house than his own. I missed…

Tyson

Meet Matt! Matt was my roommate freshman year and 3 of the 4 years at college. We instantly connected over crappy CW tv shows and late night dining common runs. From memorable pregames at the shanty and mojito nights at Bistro 33, some of the most memorable days from college were shared with Matt. Wait for the rain!?
