Wedding Party
Ashley Vega
Matron of Honor
Jessica's amazing, beautiful, smart, loving sister. Jessica was always that "annoying" younger sister who followed Ashley around and needed to do everything Ashley did. Jessica continues to look up to her sister and aspires to be the amazing wife and mother Ashley is every day. Jessica could not ask for a better role model and friend to be by her side on her wedding day!!!
Alyson Landry
Bridesmaid
Friend of the Bride and former Crossfit buddy. St. Patrick's Day will always hold a special place in Jessica's heart. For years it was a dreaded day as the day she lost her grandmother ("Mama Bet"), until she met the brilliant, vibrant, generous, strong Aly. Aly's and Jessica's friendship has forever replaced St. Patrick's Day as their "Friendaversary". They may have initially bonded over green beer and four leaf clovers, but have continued to grow as friends through their love of food, Saturday champagne brunches, and throwing around heavy weights.
Krizia Landivar
Bridesmaid
The Best College Roommate! Krizia and Jessica met at UTSA where they were members of Phi Alpha Delta Pre-Law Fraternity. They bonded over their love of the law, wine nights, and many college shenanigans. They were such amazing roommates they have a signature pose for photos (see picture attached). Jessica could not ask for a better ride or die friend to stand by her side on her big day.
Sarah Jowell
Bridesmaid
Friend of the Bride. Sarah and Jessica have been friends for 15 years. They met and bonded over queso and tortillas while waiting tables at Alamo Cafe. Their love of DIY projects, wine, coffee, and Hallmark movies has kept their bond strong.
Jonathan Lai
Best Man
Jon-Erik's brother in arms since college, rHytHm has always had his back. They share an affinity for all things Marvel, Final Fantasy, and zombies. When the two weren't building Magic decks or leveling in Marvel Heroes together, they were probably serving at church or honing their skills on the worship team. Now they stand side by side for Jon-Erik's greatest quest yet. "We ride together, we die together. Bad boys for life."
Jonathan Mok
Groomsman
Mok and J-E played on the same baseball team when they were 5 years old, but really became friends in 7th grade. Mok enabled Jon-Erik's love of the Astros, Texans, and Captain America. More importantly, Mok shared the Gospel with him in the summer of 2003, for which J-E is eternally grateful.
Jeremy Lau
Groomsman
Jeremy has been a friend, small group leader, tech consultant, accountability partner, and overall inspiration to Jon-Erik for over a decade. As one of Jeremy's own groomsmen, Jon-Erik is honored to have such a giving and reliable man like Jeremy at his side on his wedding day.
Bradley Pitre
Groomsman
Though 5 years apart, Brad was the kind of older brother who let his annoying but cool little brother hang around him and his friends. Jon-Erik has always been impressed with how his brother found his passion at such an early age, and he will gladly try anything that Brad makes in the kitchen. Jon-Erik is excited to have his brother from the same mother standing at the altar with him on his wedding day.
Addison, Mireya, & Sofia
Flower Girl
Addison Cooke is a former student of Jon-Erik's, and both Mireya and Sofia Vega are Jessica's nieces.
Joshua, James, and Gabriel
Ring Bearer
Joshua Parker is Jessica's nephew. James and Gabriel Pitre are Jon-Erik's nephews.
Philip Houston
Officiant
"If you love her, she deserves to know." Advice like this is why Jessica and Jon-Erik value the friendship and mentorship of Philip and his wife Heidi (and why Jon-Erik had the courage to tell Jessica he loved her for the first time!). Jessica and Jon-Erik are blessed to have such a wise, faithful, and God-honoring man to officiate their wedding. The Houstons = #marriagegoals
