Jerry Press
Best Man
James' older brother and one of the main reasons James is the person he is today. Growing up together, James was basically Jerry's shadow. Whatever Jerry did, you know that James wasn't going to be far behind, which is the very reason for the nickname "Jerry's Little Brother", a nickname that followed James all the way to college. Playing soccer was a big part of both of their lives and continues to be something they stay passionate about, just less playing and more coaching now. He is the first person James calls after a big win or a tough loss. His knowledge, not only in soccer but in life, and guidance has been and will continue to be something that bonds them for life. He is truly the Best Man and continues to help make James a better man daily.
Amanda Quarles
Matron of Honor
A friendship that has latest the test of time, many continents and lots of very long phone calls. Amanda and Kristin have known each other since they were in 6th grade! You would occasionally catch Kristin throwing house parties at Amanda's house in high school but mostly they played softball together and were the best of friends. Amanda is a U.S. Air Force veteran. She has visited more countries and traveled across the world more times than anyone Kristin knows. They share a mutual love of traveling, Tajin (Tajin...if you see this sponsor her!) and 5 star meals. Amanda is a Doctor of Occupational Therapy and a wonderful mom to Kristin's Goddaughters, and flower girls, Gianna and Mila and ring bearer Maddox! She is truly super woman!
Kevin Chavez
Groomsman
Kevin and James' friendship began over 15 years ago when a "nerdy looking white boy" showed up to play college soccer with Kevin at Saint Gregory's University. After realizing that he was actually good, their friendship grew exponentially. Which lead Kevin to introduce James to DPG, something that changed his life forever. He was able to find a family while being away from his actual family and the main reason he stayed in Oklahoma after graduation. Whether it was playing soccer, hitting up the casino or chompin' on some good food, Kevin and James were always together. Through all the games, injuries, fights, foods and moves their friendship has withstood the test of time. Kevin is someone James can truly call a Brother!!!
Tasha Kotz
Matron of Honor
In law school, Kristin coerced a girl to become her friend by continuously asking her to workout with her and bothering her every day to share her study table in the library. Tasha finally gave in and they both knew this was going to be a friendship of a lifetime. Tasha isn't sure how to keep false lashes on or your go to balloon arch enthusiast...but she is very confident in her dancing! They share a mutual love of traveling the world, becoming bomb ass girl bosses, dancing the night away and champagne! She is a wonderful dog mom and a badass attorney!
Juan Hurtado
Groomsman
When you hear the term "Brothers from another Mother", that sums up Juan and James. He is without a doubt James' equal in all the best ways. James was introduced to Juan through Kevin while playing soccer. It didn't matter what was on the agenda for these two, you knew they were going to have a blast doing it, unless James was doing Juan's math homework for his Associate's Degree; if you were wondering, the payment was pizza. Their friendship grew stronger with cookouts, where Juan taught James how to cook asada, playing Toma Todo and hanging with the boys and drinking Coronas. Although they live states apart and most of their communication has turned to stupid TikTok's and gifs, their friendship is stronger than ever.
Martha Emery
Bridesmaid
Martha is Kristin's soon to be Sister-in-law. Their bond started over their love for Topo Chico and Taylor Swift and bloomed into a beautiful friendship.

By the time the wedding rolls around she will be a brand new mom to a sweet baby girl!
