Crystal
Maid of Honor
She knows where I dream to go, remembers where weve been & accepts me just the way I am. I met her before I even knew my own name & I couldnt be more grateful.Growing up she was the bookworm, I was the talkative one..go figure. We were opposites in every way but somehow managed to have an inseparable bond. She entertained my wedding fantasies as a little girl, running around in toilet paper veils & plastic high heels- to have her by my side as the real day approaches means the world to me. She lives with her awesome boyfriend, Nate, & their sweet pup "Chips". She is a top saleswoman/manager in her company nationwide. She is my motivation & challenges me like no other. She is a bundle of strength, witt, brains & beauty. I couldn't be more proud to call her my Maid of Honor & my big sister.
Travis
Best Man
Bro! Travis is the man, seriously enough said. Travis and I go back to middle school. Travis has constantly challenged everyones definition of possible. He is the “Travis Pastrana” of our group. The nitro circus team is short a cast member. We became best friends quickly as soon as we realized how much we had in common. Travis and I did everything together from trying to out-do each other snowboarding, longboarding, night street skating etc. to drinking our first malt liquor at Erick Mier y Terans party. Travis and I have a very synergistically beneficial friendship. He aspires to never stop improving himself physically, mentally and spiritually of which encourages me to do the same. Travis is an adventurous, passionate, amiable friend that will drop everything to help a friend.
Charlie
Bridesmaid
The first week I met Charlie, I was terrified-This was Joes big sister which meant extra pressure on making a good first impression. The knots in my stomach totally eased up when I was greeted with a huge hug. She was then sweet enough to invite me out for a spa day with her girlfriends in Reno&things just clicked! She is hilarious, headstrong, fearless, sweet, & the most amazing mom and nurse. I have Charlie to thank for playing a huge role in my fiancé having the best personality. Her & her PA husband, Dylan, have raised two beautiful daughters- Saylor and Leo &precious baby boy Hagen. (Our namesake!) I cant wait to continue making memories with this one-one day we WILL master 3 people to 1 paddle board. I’m the luckiest girl because I get to call her a sister soon!
Audrey
Bridesmaid
To say I’ve been blessed in the future in-law department is an understatement. Audrey is Joes little sister and is one of the most positive, optimistic and loving people I know. She is my wannabe blogger side-kick & is a bright light wherever she goes! She has the ability to make everyone she meets feel right at home. Audrey lives in Reno with her fire-fighting husband, Rylan, and their two pups. She will be graduating with her physician assistants degree this Fall and I couldn’t be more excited for her. I’m definitely marrying into a family full of super hero’s y’all. I’m so grateful for this girl & cant wait to call her family.
Claudia
Bridesmaid
15 years fly by when you’re having fun! I met this one when we were a bunch of dorks in middle school. We’ve come a long way, I must say. From running around in home made tie-died shirts and slick back ponytails and getting yelled at by our 7th grade Spanish teacher for talking too much to now. Claudia completed her accounting degree & now works and lives in Austin,TX along side her cowboy Prince Charming. She is chasing her pageant dreams & is in the running to be crowned Miss Texas this year! I couldn’t be more proud. This girl has been by my side through it all- prayed with me, laughed with me, supported me and kept me grounded. She is one of the most confident & caring people I know and I’m proud to call her a best friend.
Lyndie
Bridesmaid
My go-to girl! I met Lyndie on an oil rig location about 6 years ago, we were both calling on the same customer (she is also an outside sales woman)- I fed her BBQ & the rest is history! I’m pretty sure several of our customers still think that we are sisters. She now lives in Edna, TX with her awesome husband, Lane, & their pups and cattle! This girl is winning at life- she is a top producing sales rep in the oilfield, a kick ass golfer, a life coach and is working on her own podcast/book! She is one of my biggest inspirations and mentors. She is one of the smartest and most selfless people I know. Lyndie is by far the best advice giver and such a thoughtful friend. I’m so lucky to have her by my side throughout this wedding planning process, on our big day & in life!
Taylor
Bridesmaid
Taylor was actually my first Tinder success story! (We should really be sponsored at this point)When I moved to College Station, I went on a date off the app where I ended up meeting my dates friend, Taylor. A week after meeting her, she invited me to go with her to a mudding event in Louisiana. It was an instant friendship! We spent every day together when we lived in cstat- so many fun memories from boating, to mudding events and two stepping! We now live over 100 miles apart but our friendship has continued to stay so strong. Her&her loving husband,Josh, have the most beautiful baby girl, Rhylie. She is a realtor&the best mommy! She is one of the strongest yet one of the kindest humans I know. Tay is loyal, honest and trustworthy & I’m so blessed that this beauty is a part of my tribe.
Jordan (Jo jo)
Bridesmaid
Wild nights at UTSA brought her and I together. We eventually ended up being neighbors and getting into a whole bunch of college debauchery together. We may have grown up now but Jordan will always be my Jojo- she is one badass chick! She now lives in Austin with her 2 sweet kitties and is killing it as a pharmaceutical sales rep. She is one of the most optimistic, easy-going and reliable people I know! Jo jo is a total thrill-seeker and just as impulsive as Joe and I. From happy hours in the city to random Schlitterbahn and wakeboarding park adventures, there’s never a dull moment. Jordan can find the fun in any situation! She cares deeply & really knows how to make her friends feel special! So happy this little ray of sunshine will be by my side this November!
Lacy
Bridesmaid
Almost 3 yrs ago our career brought us together- we bonded fast! From wild crawfish boils, river floats, long conversations in the truck while driving to job sites, to bachelorette weekends in Fredericksburg- she became one of my dearest friends. Working in a male dominated industry, I couldn’t ask for a more solid female confidant. This girl is the definition of hard working. She lives with her new husband, Jordan- theyre the ultimate Caterpillar power couple. Shes been our #1 sales rep for forever. She inspires me more than she knows. She is competitive, strong willed, loyal, loving and wants the absolute best for everyone. She has given the most amazing advice during this whole wedding process and Im so blessed to have her by my side.
Addison
Groomsman
Addison is my big brother from another mother. Addison, has been over 6ft since our parents got married in 2000. I wanted to be just like him, I literally wanted to do everything and anything he did including wearing his old clothes which were 5 sizes too large, to wearing pukka shells, bleaching my hair and listening to the 504 Boyz from Florida. Addison's gregarious personality and adaptable characteristics makes him a true camelon. He can get along and talk to just about anybody. Although our parents may have not seen it this way, all the nights we snuck out of the hotel rooms on family vacation was so that I could learn to adopt this puissant characteristic of Addison. He has taught me more than he knows and has been immensely helpful in my growth.
Jacob
Groomsman
Sandi's, not so, little brother. We all know babies are the favorite in the family, Jake and I share this in common. Jake has a compassionate heart and a strong willingness to succeed. He is one of the kindest, most well spoken young men I have ever met. Jake lives and works in Austin with his dog Riku, where he does recruitment sales. Jake has one of the most charismatic, confident, personable personalities and is destined for greatness. He will make you feel welcome like family and is always willing to listen. I’m proud to get to call him a little brother soon.
Rob
Groomsman
Rob and I met in high school. Our friendship began while playing highschool football, but quickly grew with the adrenaline of extreme sports. Rob was always willing to push the limit from longboarding the round-abouts on Avenida De Landa to absolutely sending it across the Channel gap on the backside of Mount Rose. Rob lives in Reno with his wife Siera and english bulldog Boozer. Rob works in the world of logistics owning his own 3rd party logistics company Lavoy logistics. Rob is a true leader, he has been unknowingly influential in my pursuit of growth simply by setting an example. His commitment to success, balance of work/life and maintaining a witty, uplifting happiness has such a positive influence on me. Rob is one the most unassuming reliable friends you could have.
Tyson
Groomsman
Tyson and I met through a mutual friend of my parents while in elementary school. I shared a Third Eye Blind CD in the late 90s with him and the rest was history. Throughout high school and college Tyson and I shared the same ambition for success, creating a mutual respect for one another. Our friendship grew while living in Vegas from multiple fantasy football drafts, music festivals, backyard pool “HORSE” games to the roadrunner saloon. Tyson lives and works in Reno with his wife Lillian where he owns and operates a goldman sachs branch as a financial advisor. Tyson is the most intuitive resourceful person I know. Tyson undoubtedly wants what is best for his friends and family and is a truly sincere friend.
James
Groomsman
What a genuinely exceptional human. James and I have been friends for as long as I can remember. James was my roommate for the majority of my twenties, from living in that crazy old ladies house to 𝅘𝅥𝅲 moving-on-up, to the northwest𝅘𝅥𝅲 where we were neighbors with my parents. James is the king of random facts, and is a true dodgers fan. James lives in LA with his fiance Lily and dog Kyra. Jame's hardwork and perseverance has landed him his current "dream job" where he is working with the one and only DODGERS. One of the greatest characteristics about James is his infectious outlook on life. He has found the balance between living in the moment and planning for the future. It's hard to not be in a great mood when you're around James, he truly is the friend that everyone deserves.
Aaron
Groomsman
Aaron was born and raised a true TEXAN. I met Aaron through Sandi. He was a former neighbor of Sandis while at UTSA; he certainly played a role in ensuring Sandi didn’t get swooped up by a roper. If you know Aaron then you know, there are not enough words to describe him accurately. Aaron has solved the equation of work hard, play harder. Sandi, Aaron and I have shared a unique friendship from downtown Austin debauchery to a Thanksgiving in Austin to 100's of dollars exchanged in the game of craps. Aaron lives in New Braunfels where he owns a flowback company in oil and gas. Aarons untamed, original, benevolent character truly embodies the qualities of a friend. You can guarantee that if Aaron is around you're going to have a good time; he brings out the best in people.
Hagen
Ring Bearer
The most adorable ring bearer there ever was! Hagen Nash Linnell turns 1 this March & is our favorite (and only) nephew! He gives the best kisses & his smile and giggles will melt your heart! He of course has the most awesome name too! Get ready to be totally smitten by this little stud!
Leo
Flower Girl
Leo Linnell- the new SHINNING STAR, claiming the title from the reigning champ Joe. She is 3 going on 4 this year and has the biggest personality there ever was! She is the most creative little girl ever. She loves her family and picking on her uncle Joe Joe! She loves doing crafts and is so excited for the water slides in Mexico. She’s such a sweetheart and we’re so blessed to call her our niece.
Tim
Officiant
The minute you meet Tim you’ll realize how infectious and calming his personality is. The way he loves Jesus, De de (Joes mom), family and people is so incredibly inspiring. He pushes us both and encourages us to chase/attain our goals. He is the best advise giver, keeper of secrets and is a true example of great character. There is no one else we would rather have to solidify our marriage.
Kopen & Ruger
Best Fur Babies
Unfortunately these two won’t be able to make the trip to Mexico, but they are our two very best friends and the best brothers there ever was. They like to swim, wrestle, eat snacks, go for walks/car rides, destroy toys/bones and give sweet snuggles.
