Wedding Party

Anthony Villarreal

Best Man

My twin brother, who also holds the esteemed title of my best man, has been an inseparable part of my life since the moment we entered this world together. From our earliest days, we shared a unique and unbreakable bond that has only grown stronger over time. Growing up side by side, we navigated the highs and lows of life as a dynamic duo, always there for each other through thick and thin. We gave our parents a run for their money, always finding ways to get in trouble. Growing up Anthony was the daredevil and any time we were going to try something, I always made him do it first. Our connection goes beyond the realm of mere siblings; he is my confidant, my partner-in-crime, and my rock. As my best man, he will stand by my side on the most important day of my life, symbolizing the unbreakable bond we share. I am filled with gratitude to have him not only as my twin brother but also as my best friend, and I am excited to embark on this new chapter with him by my side.

Jade Hudson

Maid of Honor

My best friend, but truly the sister I never had— Jade holds a special and irreplaceable place in my heart as my Maid of Honor. We have shared an incredible bond since we met when we were 12 years old and our friendship has only grown stronger over the years, transcending time and distance. We were fortunate to have grown up just around the corner from each other, experiencing the rollercoaster of middle school, high school, and even part of college side by side. We have been so fortunate that our paths have aligned so perfectly, living in Arizona at the same time and then again now in Texas, adding even more memories and shared adventures. We have witnessed each other's growth, celebrated successes, and stood by each other through extremely challenging times. As my Maid of Honor, she not only represents a lifelong friendship, but also embodies love, loyalty, and honesty. I am overwhelmed with gratitude to have her standing by my side, not just on the most important day of my life, but throughout all the chapters of our lives.

Nick Perry

Groomsman

Nick and I first met in high school and instantly became boys. Turns out that he lived around the corner from me and one of the funniest memories we have is when I pranked him and ordered one pizza from ten different pizza places and had them all dropped off at his house at the same time. I hid across the street and watched the deliveries happen one by one. Nick was so confused and pissed, but I thought it was hilarious. In high school we shared the gridiron as teammates and forged a friendship that will last a life time. Our journey together continued beyond those formative high school years as he made the bold decision to move out here to Austin, TX and join me. Through thick and thin, he has been a pillar of support, always there to lend an ear, offer guidance, and have my back in case things get a little crazy. I am so grateful that he agreed to join me as one of my groomsman on this special day.

Erica Villarreal

Bridesmaid

My soon-to-be sister-in-law, who also happens to be one of my bridesmaids, has been such an incredible addition to my life. While we initially faced some challenges due to her protectiveness towards her brother, our relationship has blossomed into something truly special. Over time, we have developed a deep bond built on mutual respect, understanding, and genuine friendship. Through shared experiences, heartfelt conversations, and a growing understanding of each other, we have become incredibly close. Now, as we eagerly anticipate the day of our wedding, I couldn't be more thrilled to officially becoming family. The thought of having her as a sister fills my heart with happiness, knowing that our connection will continue to flourish, and we will have each other to navigate life's ups and downs.

Scott Henningson

Groomsman

Scotty AKA “Scottie Pimpin” and I have been friends since our early childhood days when we played SCBA basketball together. We also went to high school and college together, and lived together as roommates after college. Because we achieved these huge milestones together we have an endless amount of stories and memories. Some of my favorite memories with Scotty are- when we turned 21 and started hitting the bars together in downtown SJ, turning up on Tuesdays at 4th Street Pizza & SJBG & Tres Gringos, skipping class to take the train from SJ to SF for the Giants World Series parade, and Santa Con and pajama bar crawls in SF. I am blessed to have him as a groomsman in my wedding and standing next to me as I take this next step in my life.

Taylor Weiss

Bridesmaid

Taylor and I have such an awesome and unique relationship. We often laugh about the fact that we can't quite remember how we met, but we do know it was during high school or shortly after graduating LOL. Our friendship took root and blossomed when we unexpectedly found ourselves working for the same company, and it was there that our friendship really took off. The shared experiences, challenges, and triumphs we have encountered together have brought us closer together and solidified our bond. Taylor's presence in my life is a constant source of joy and laughter. We share inside jokes, create unforgettable memories, and support each other through thick and thin. As I prepare to embark on this new chapter of my life, it means the world to me to have her by my side.

Shawn Henner

Groomsman

Shawn AKA "Chonnn"and I first crossed paths during middle school and immediately became Bro’s! We had very similar interest and a sense of humor. Through our childhood, high school and beyond, our friendship has withstood the tests of time, distance, and life's challenges. Over the years we have shared countless adventures, inside jokes, and unforgettable memories. Some of my favorite memories with Shawn are- house boating during the summer when we were kids, holding the football for him during field goals at practice when I tore my ACL and couldn’t do anything else and getting arrested when we’re minors for throwing water balloons LOL. Shawn and I also worked together side by side in tech sales for 5 years. We were wheeling and dealing database technology all across the Pacific Northwest. From our childhood to this momentous occasion of my wedding day, I am so grateful and honored to have him by my side as a groomsman.

Miranda is a one of a kind friend! Our paths crossed during the challenging times of the pandemic, through mutual friends, and since then, our bond has grown immensely. It didn't take long for us to realize how remarkably similar we are, particularly in our shared ability to sing and keep it REAL. Miranda's authenticity, genuineness, and honesty are qualities I deeply appreciate. She has become a pillar of support in my life, someone I can always rely on if I need anything. I am truly grateful to have her stand next to me when I take my vows, knowing that her support and friendship will continue to be a cherished part of my life as I navigate the next chapter ahead.

Braden Connolly

Groomsman

Braden AKA "Braden the Canadian"!!! Mine and Braden’s friendship began in a very interesting way….. network marketing. From the moment we met, our friendship flourished, fueled by a shared passion for entrepreneurship and a drive for success. We navigated the intricacies of the business world side by side, learning, growing, and overcoming challenges together. We traveled all over the Bay Area selling builder pack and cases of verve and throwing down the good gospel of Vemma. Braden and I became very close over the years and eventually became roommates along with Scottie. The three of us lived in downtown Campbell and had an absolute blast. As he stands by my side on my wedding day, I am filled with gratitude for the memories we have created and the bond we have forged.

Whether celebrating milestones or lending a listening ear during challenging times, she has always been there for me. Stefanie's friendship means the world to me, and I am grateful for the depth of our connection. She is not just a bridesmaid but a lifelong friend, and I am beyond fortunate to have her by my side on this special day and for all the days to come.

Ruben Rosado

Groomsman

Ruben AKA “The Man, The Myth, The Legend” has become one of my best friends since we met just six short years ago. Our shared love for Ron Burgundy, Anchorman and towers of shots from Tony make us a dynamic duo. He has transformed from a colleague into one of my closest and most trusted friends. We met through our shared profession in sales, where we discovered a mutual love for the art of closing deals and achieving success. Together side by side we cold called prospects, ran discovery calls and closed deals. Though our goals have changed from going out and shutting bars down on 6th Street to settling down and getting married. I couldn't be more excited to see what the future has in store for us and I am beyond excited to have him standing by my side on the big day!

Katie is someone that I am so lucky to have in my life. When I first moved to Austin, she was one of the first girls I met, and our connection was instantaneous. It's remarkable how our personalities align so perfectly, and from the moment we met, it felt like we had known each other for a lifetime. Our shared sense of humor and interests have formed the foundation of such an incredible friendship. Through laughter, tears, and countless adventures, Katie has been a constant source of support and understanding and I am grateful for the memories we have created together.

Jerry Jacob

Groomsman

Jerry AKA Jayda-Wada and I go way back to when we were just young, crazy, chubby, but extremely good looking 7 year old kids. From the early days of childhood until now, we have shared countless hours on the field, giving our all to the games we love. But our connection runs even deeper than that. Through victories and defeats, we have stood side by side, pushing each other to reach our fullest potential. Beyond the realm of athletics, he is like a brother to me. We have shared laughter, tears, and the trials and triumphs of life. His unwavering support, loyalty, and genuine care have made him an integral part of my journey. As he stands beside me on my wedding day, I am filled with gratitude for his friendship and absolutely stoked to have him as a groomsman. Together, we will continue to create memories that will last a lifetime!

Michelle Carozza

Bridesmaid

One of my closest friends and bridesmaids, Michelle, is a true testament to the power of unexpected connections. Our paths crossed while working at the tanning salon and it's amusing to think that our similarities initially kept us from becoming immediate friends. However, once we broke through that ironic barrier, our bond formed rapidly, and we have been so close ever since. We share endless laughter, heartfelt conversations, and a deep understanding of one another. Michelle's friendship means the world to me, as we have supported each other through thick and thin, celebrating joys and navigating challenges together. Our friendship has defied distance and proven that no matter how far apart we may be, our connection remains unwavering. I am forever grateful to have Michelle as a best friend and bridesmaid by my side.

Franky Palmer

Groomsman

Franky AKA "Frank the Tank" has been one of my life long childhood friends since I was 7! We first met each other on the field of sports, where we shared a passion for football, basketball, and baseball. From that moment on a bond was created that has stood the test of time. Together, we faced victories, defeats, and countless hours of practice and dedication. We pushed each other to new heights, always striving to be better both individually and as a team. Beyond the field, our friendship grew, as we supported each other through life's ups and downs, celebrated milestones, and offered a shoulder to lean on in times of need. As I stand here on the brink of my wedding day, I am honored to have him as a groomsman.

Madalina and I first met when I moved to Arizona. From the moment we met, we connected and formed a tight bond, and it became evident that we shared numerous similarities beyond our physical traits of dark hair and green eyes. Over the years, our friendship has grown stronger, and I cherish the countless memories and experiences we have made. Madalina's wit, sass, and unwavering honesty are qualities I deeply appreciate and treasure. I know that if I need someone to talk to or need advice, I can always count on her. No matter where life takes us or the distance that separates us, I am confident that we will remain best friends for life. I feel incredibly fortunate to have her by my side as I say "I do".

Suzanne Schmelzer

Officiant

Suzanne Schmelzer AKA 'Suzie Q' is one of my closest and longest friends. We have been friends since kindergarten and to this day are as close as can be. When Patricia and I first started talking, it was during the time Suzie and I were in New Orleans for Jazz Fest. We were at a bar together singing 'Sweet Caroline' when Patricia slid into my DM’s. It was a no brainer when it came to deciding who we wanted to officiate our wedding, Suzie was there from the beginning and has watched our relationship blossom to what it is today. We love her so much and are so honored she accepted this significant role.

Audree, our adored flower girl, is someone very, very special. As the niece of one of our bridesmaids (Stefanie), I have been a part of Audree’s life since the day she was brought home from the hospital.
