Landon & Amanda
Wedding Party
Becca
Maid of Honor
Hi, I’m Becca. I am the sister of the bride! I wish I could give a entertaining story of how we met, unfortunately I don’t remember how it went down. I am a keeper of books (bookkeeper), I have a love for small rodents, rock/metal music, and books. You can probably find me either at a concert, taking care of my guinea pig, or practicing/learning crochet. At the wedding you will probably find me following Katelyn around making sure she isn’t stealing peoples mimosas. I am so excited to be apart of this wedding and watch Amanda and Landon take the next big step into their love story!
Taylor
Bridesmaid
Hi there! My name is Taylor, and I am honored and absolutely thrilled to be a part of this wedding. A little bit about me, I love to do anything creative (I’ve recently picked up woodworking, so if anyone has any tips, please come find me lol), go to concerts, and am lucky to say that I am super passionate about my work. I work as an organizational consultant and Professor at the University of Redlands, where I teach conflict & mediation, organizational behavior, and communication classes. I’ve known Amanda for 15 years, but it feels like I’ve known her forever. The first time we met, I remember her telling my mom that we were best friends now. When Amanda left, my mom asked if that were true, and I wholeheartedly confirmed that it was. It’s been like that ever since. From our love of Taylor Swift to our sometimes 4+ hour video/phone calls, I can say that to this day, she is still one of the best friends a girl could ask for. All I could ever wish for Amanda was that she would find someone who would support her, sweep her off her feet, and be the most amazing partner to her, because she absolutely deserves the best. A tall order, right? When I met Landon, I thought “she’s met her match.” Can’t wait to celebrate Amanda and Landon’s lover era!
Katelyn
Bridesmaid
Hi! Im Katelyn! I’m Amanda’s cousin and I’ve known her basically my whole life. I’m a stretch practitioner and a foodie who has a spending problem when it comes to 5 below and Ross. Watch out for me on the dance floor at this wedding, you might get hurt. You’ll also find me double fisting mimosas so watch your drinks! Im super excited to see everyone thank you for coming!!
Tammy
Bridesmaid
Dearest Gentle Reader, Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Tammy, Amanda’s esteemed cousin—though I jest when I say I am her favorite! I serve as a devoted Special Education teacher, and I must confess, I have developed quite the penchant for Amazon treasures. It fills my heart with joy to partake in the celebration of Amanda’s grand day. Our family is renowned for revelry, and I cannot wait to witness the moment she unites with her dearest friend. It shall surely be an occasion to remember! Yours affectionately, Tammy
Ximena
Bridesmaid
Hello there! My name’s Ximena. I’m a 31 year old child at heart. Lover of all things holiday (halloween and christmas mostly), Disney, video games, and food! I met Amanda while working at Disneyland and like most best friend stories, I have no idea where our friendship began! We worked hard and laughed harder, sticking to each other like velcro. She’s the fuzzy side and I’m the spiky. Over 8 years of best friendship and I am still blessed to have her in my life. I met Landon three years into working at Disneyland. Our friendship, I distinctly remember because I thought he was someone else and I scared the “living daylights” out of him trying to prank the person I knew. I’ve been apologizing ever since. I'm sorry again Landon! Our friendship blossomed like many others and I can’t wait to see my two best friends get married. I'm gonna cry. With tons of love, Ximena.
Lukas
Best Man
I am Landon’s older brother and I am so excited to see my little brother get married and to be his best man! We spent countless hours together growing up and would frequently make each other laugh until we cried. Landon is the best brother that I could hope for. I am also so excited to have a sister-in-law! Love you Landon! To God be the glory! ~Ephesians 5:22-31
Robert
Groomsman
Landon and I met in the Disney College Program in 2015, an internship where you live in downtown Anaheim housing and work at the Disneyland Resort, taking Disney business-type classes on the side for roughly eight months (Landon worked in attractions and I worked in food service). He was the second person who moved into the apartment after me, so he chose the best room with the best roommate. The rest is history.
Bryce
Groomsman
A reasonable time ago, in a state too far away, Bryce and Landon embarked on a journey together, through the halls of Elementary, Middle, AND High School. Along the way, they bonded over the glorious notes made from their trombones amongst a cacophony of lesser instruments, as they honed their musical powers in many school bands. But it wasn’t just music that bonded them; their time was filled with puns, movie references and an endless stream of silliness that could crack even the toughest onlooker while they faced the crazy developing world of grade school. Landon’s legendary sense of humor turned the mundane into the extraordinary. They laughed a total of, well, a lot of times. Like A LOT of times! Through all their expaculant trials and triumphs, two things remained constant: Landon’s unwavering kindness and thoughtful friendship. Together, they forged a friendship that would last across space and time, forever connected by the Force of shared memories.
Scott
Groomsman
Hello, friends! My name is Scott. I'm proud to call the bride and groom two of my best friends. I own a bookkeeping business, am a lover of music, dogs, cats, most things fluffy. I met Amanda and Landon through the Maid of Honor, Becca, and have shared countless late night laughs. If you see Landon and I together, we're probably talking about something that no matter how hard you try, you can't fathom how what ever ridiculous topic we're speaking about even got brought up (including, but not limited to an alternate reality where he sells pottery and livestock). Amanda and Landon have always been so great to me, and I look forward to meeting all of you and celebrating them together!
Matthew
Groomsman
Name's Mantel... Matthew Mantel. I tend to be the life of the party. I’m here for a good time, not a long time! I obviously know the bride because of legal reasons of course… (she’s my sister). I have the pleasure of getting to know the groom from Amanda of course. It’s been an absolute privilege to get to watch them grow in their relationship and I can’t wait to see where the future takes them. A little about me. I tend to have some kind of musical instrument in my hand at most times. That’s about the only cool fact about me. Other than that, I’ll most likely be the loudest person in the wedding party. And for that I do apologize beforehand.
Pedro
Groomsman
Hello I’m Pedro but you may know me as my other moniker, “The- person-who-was-at-a-loud-concert-working-a-merch-booth-so-they-couldn’t-pick-up-when-Landon-called-to-tell-him-that-he-proposed-to-Amanda.” I met Landon working at Disneyland Costuming around 2017. We bonded over our love of movies, namely Robin Williams flicks, especially "Mrs. Doubtfire." Eventually we started working on various video projects together. One of my favorites being our presentation for the Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge costumes. I’m blessed to have such a creative, empathic, and funny person in my life.
