Wedding Party
Connor & Trevor Smith
Officiant
Connor and Trevor are my twin cousins who were always so close with me growing up. We know it's unusual to have more than one officiant, however, if you know Connor and Trevor- you know it only makes sense if they're up there together. We are so excited to have them up by our sides on our wedding day.
Carley Yegsigian
Maid of Honor
Carley is my older sister. 75% of the vocabulary shared between us is quotes from shows like The Office, Parks and Rec, and many other popular shows / movies. The other 25% is memes and Tiktoks we send back and forth. Carley once convinced me to bury my allowance in hopes it would grow a money tree- Carley quickly dug it up and claimed her prize.
Rachel Zepeda
Bridesmaid
Rachel is my cousin. Rachel was basically an additional sister for Carley and I growing up. My obsession with dogs started early on and Rachel and I were convinced we would grow up and have puppies, but not children. We grew up walking our stuffed animal dogs together and performing the newest popular songs for our family, whether or not they wanted to watch.
Danielle Babiczuk
Bridesmaid
Danielle (Dani) and I met as kids on the same soccer team and honestly we weren't super close at first. My mom had to re-home one of our dogs (Olivia) and when I found out Dani's family took her in I took it upon myself to go over frequently to see Olivia. I'm forever grateful for that now because it has truly blossomed into the most amazing friendship. From taking embarrassing selfies in the back of a car, going to our senior prom together and to traveling the world together, Dani is truly one of a kind.
Samantha Orel
Bridesmaid
Sam and I met during our first week of college classes at Saddleback College. Sam was sitting at the same lab desk as me and asked to be lab partners with her. This would lead to 10+ years of friendship, late night study sessions, double dates and lake trips. If I were to go missing, Sam would be the first one to find me on find my friends before I'm even reported as missing.
Travis Metcalfe
Best Man
Travis and Jeff met during Jeff’s first year of college at UNLV, and in fact at his very first college party. They quickly found each other on the beer pong table and had great vibes immediately. Over the years they have shared passions of snowboarding, sports, and traveling together. In Jeff’s words “He couldn’t imagine having anyone else by his side for such a happy day”.
Chris Shoemaker
Groomsman
Jeff found Chris like you would find a used couch- good ol’ fashioned Craigslist. While looking at an apartment to move into, the two got along immediately and Jeff made the move to his first official place in San Diego. Both of them are the life of the party and together it multiplies into wild adventures and crazy stories, that Chris will most likely love to talk about at the wedding. After living together through a pandemic and playing hours if not weeks of games together, we still don’t know who the “Alpha” is (inside joke between the three of us).
Jerrick Prudencio
Groomsman
Jerrick and Jeff bonded on a night out where I took him to meet my fellow nurses and friends. Once again, these two bonded immediately! Jerrick being the ultimate hype man and their bond together often leads to them being the last two at a party. Over the years they have bonded over traveling, games, ping pong and of course a fun drinking game we like to call shame. Jerrick is a true friend to Jeff and the two love each other very much.
Josiah Harris
Groomsman
Josiah…. Oh Josiah, he is the quirkiest and funniest guy you may ever meet. This obviously drew in Jeff, and come to find out the two of them share their inner nerd together. From collecting cards and craft ciders, to shooting shot guns and chasing toads. They’ve traveled different countries and explored many different terrains, in what’s meant to be friendship that will surely last a lifetime.
