Maid of Honor
My built-in best friend. To know her is to love her. Ever since we were little girls putting socks in our shirts and toilet paper veils on our heads, we always knew that we would be each other's Maid of Honor. This girl radiates kindness and is someone who I will always share such a special bond with. From working at Disneyland together to traveling the world together, I can't imagine growing up with any other sister. Alexis is the best sister a girl could ask for, and Easton's very first sister. I couldn't be more grateful that she will be standing by my side on the big day.
Best Man
"Because I have a brother, I'll always have a friend." -Unknown Bradley is my co-best man with my other brother Blake. I am lucky to be close enough in age to Brad that we got to play a lot of sports together growing up. We were the best pitcher-catcher duo in the league going undefeated in 12u baseball. Despite all the torture he received as the middle child, he is still one of the most kindhearted people I know. I am proud to call him my brother and best man.
Bridesmaid
I met Taylor during sophomore year at USC through our sorority, ADPi. Taylor is one of the brightest gems out there and I am so blessed to call her a best friend. We used to dream about living and working together (at KPMG) after college, and we did it! Living on Abbot Kinney was filled with blood orange cake, Twilight movie nights, and daily walks. Taylor and her boyfriend Will were the first of my friends and family to meet (and quickly approve of) Easton! I could not be more ecstatic to have such a strong and supportive life-long friend like Taylor stand by my side on June 30th.
Best Man
"The smarter you get, the less you speak." -Thomas Shelby I met Blake on October 21, 2003 and for some reason he didn’t stop crying. Blake is a man of few words, so it is even more impressive that he can always make me laugh. Being able to watch Blake grow up to the smart and driven man he is today, is one of the biggest blessings. I am proud to call him my brother and best man.
Bridesmaid
Elena has been my ride or die since 2013. We met by both playing soccer at SJHHS and have been besties ever since. I have learned a lot from Elena; she has taught me how to live confidently, be unapologetically myself, to always strive to be the best version of myself and to love on others. Elena and I have traveled the world together and she is the best travel buddy. This girl is so supportive, fun, and is a big fan of Easton (especially when he brings AMF's). I can't wait to marry Easton with Elena by my side!
Groomsman
“I say dance, they say how high?” -Michael Scott The night Gabriella met my parents was the same night that she met Robbie. I have known Robbie for a long time but we became close friends in college. We spent countless hours studying together in the library…which really means we did things like moved furniture into the elevator, airdropped random pictures to people, and Facetimed Owen to make sure he never missed out on the inside jokes. Robbie is such a supportive friend and I am so thankful to have him there with me when I get married.
Bridesmaid
Miss Amanda Rooker has been an incredible friend to me since 2015. This girl loves the Lord, is extremely talented, and has been such a consistent joy in my life. We have shared the love of dance, music, art, and going all out for SJHHS football games and spirit weeks. Amanda not only gives the best advice, but has been with me since day one of meeting Easton thanks to frequent Facetime updates. I am so thankful to have Amanda stand by my side when I marry Easton.
Groomsman
"You do the thing you’re scared of, and you get the courage AFTER you do it.” -Archie Gates I have known Austin since preschool. From my first memory of him running full speed into a metal pole while playing football and continuing to score a touchdown, to when I called him after my second date with Gabriella to tell him that she’s the one, he has always been a best friend to me. Austin is an adventurous, life-giving, and loyal friend. He always pushes me outside of my comfort zone in the best ways and I am blessed to have him by my side on June 30th.
Bridesmaid
Lily was one of my first friends at SJHHS, as we met during volleyball camp in 2013. Lily is probably the funniest person to walk this earth, in a dark, sarcastic, and hilarious way. We have shared so many memories together whether that is our recurring Shabu lunch dates, girls trips to Palm Springs and Big Bear, and 4 years of high school volleyball together. Lily is the type of friend who will never fail you. She is loyal, consistent, kind, and selfless. She also is the most fashionable person and has the cutest cat. I am beyond blessed to have Lily with me when I first tried on my wedding dress and to have her stand by my side on June 30th.
Groomsman
“Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.” -J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring I really got to know Eli in middle school on our youth group service trip to San Francisco. He is one of the few people that could get me to beatbox the rap song he made up in front of our whole group. Eli is definitely one of the most unique people I know but he has also always been one of my most loyal friends. I am so thankful to have him by my side on June 30th.
Bridesmaid
Phia Bellizzi is a ride or die. I met Phia at SJHHS during volleyball. We have a plethora of memories together, from being co-Captain's on the varsity volleyball team, to Disneyland trips, to watching Harry Potter marathons, to going to the beach every day in the summer. Even though she shoots her boba at me through her straw, she is one of the best friends you could ask for. Phia and I have spent so much time together eating bean and cheese burritos, walking our dogs, and playing volleyball. I am beyond thankful to have a friend like Phia, and can't wait to have her by my side as I marry Easton.
Groomsman
"That's right, Iceman. I am dangerous." -Maverick When I first heard about Will, I was so intimidated. The first time Gabriella invited me over to meet her friends for a Bachelor watch-party, she mentioned how Taylor’s boyfriend is basically a professional chef and he cooks gourmet dinner for everyone. Meanwhile, the only thing I had to offer was a bottle of wine. Turns out Will is actually really fun, easygoing, and we quickly built a friendship that I know will be long term. He has played such a big role in my and Gabriella’s relationship. I am excited to have him stand by my side on our wedding day.
Bridesmaid
Delaney and I met at USC through the club CRU! Anyone who knows Del knows that she is smart, a loyal friend, driven, and the type of person who is always there for you. We lived together our senior year and got super close through our shared outlook on life. Delaney loves on all she meets and beams of kindness from the Lord. From Bible studies to snowboarding/skiing and to our shared love of Harry Potter, I know that Del is a lifelong friend I can always rely on. I am so thankful to have Delaney stand by my side when I marry Easton.
Groomsman
"Don't follow the path, blaze the trail." -Jordan Belfort If you don’t already know, Elliot is Gabriella’s younger brother. Elliot is one of the most driven and creative people I know. He has been so welcoming and supportive to me and I am honored to call him my brother. He played such a vital role in our engagement and I am so glad he gets to be a part of our wedding.
Bridesmaid
Avery is the fiance of Easton's brother, Bradley, and has quickly become like a sister to me. To know her is to love her. From axe throwing to family game nights to long walks, she is a joy to be around and a true friend. I have loved every minute spending time with his girl and am so excited for many more memories as sisters-in-law! Avery is a gem and I am so honored to have her be a bridesmaid!
Groomsman
"You miss 100% of the Aerials you don't take." -R.L. I met Owen our senior year of high school. We bonded because we both made the varsity soccer team despite never playing soccer before. After my freshmen year of college when I transferred to CBU, we were roommates on campus. He is one of the funniest guys I know and I am excited to have him by my side on my wedding day.
Bridesmaid
Kayla and I met at USC through the club CRU, and lived together our senior year. Kayla is in the US Navy and is currently on a submarine somewhere in the middle of the ocean serving our country! She unfortunately can't make it to the wedding but she will be there in spirit! Since the minute we became friends, Kayla and I have shared such a similar outlook on life. It is definitely the telepathic-communication kind of friendship. Kalya and I both share a love of skiing (Kayla shreds) and have such fun memories together. Even though we live far from each other now, we always pick up right where we left off each time we see each other/call. I am so thankful to have such an amazing friend like Kayla and am so proud of her amazing work in the Navy.
Flower Girl & Ring Bearer
Sage and Gunner are second cousins to Gabriella and have grown up with her babysitting them (along with their sweet baby brother Thatcher). Sage will be 7.5 and Gunner will be 5.5 at the time of the wedding. Their mom, Karissa, was a flower girl in Gabriella's parents' wedding when she was 6. Gabriella and Easton have babysat them together and have taken them to Disneyland. Needless to say, these kiddos hold a special place in both the bride and groom's hearts.
Flower Girl & Ring Bearer
Addison and Jackson are the second cousins of Gabriella and are some of the sweetest kids you will meet (along with their younger brother Hudson and younger sister Kearson)! Addison (8) and Jackson (6) are the kids of Gabriella's cousin, Nicole, who was also a flower girl in Gabriella's parents wedding. It is special to have Addison and Jackson in the wedding, just like their mom was a generation ago! The bride and groom are excited to have them a part of the big day.
Ring Bearer & Flower Girl
Paxton (7) and Evve (6) are some of the smartest, kindest, and most adventurous kids you will meet! They are second cousins of Easton (along with their younger brother Luca and younger sister Alexei), and are loved dearly by the bride and groom. Paxton loves golf more than Easton does and Evve's smile makes everyone smile. Easton and Gabriella are so excited to have them both be a special part of the wedding on June 30th.
