Wedding Party

Victoria Rios

Bride

Taylor Winslow

Groom

Kathy Depe

Maid of Honor

Kathy and Victoria met while working together at RES Success in 2015. Victoria knew after their first conversation, where she confirmed Kathy was in fact a Libra, that they would be friends (Even though Kathy adamantly did not want more friends - she has a huge friend group). After much convincing and Victoria throwing herself into uncomfortable social situations, Kathy finally accepted Victoria as a friend. After a very compelling 21 slide power point Victoria convinced Kathy to move in together, where they painstakingly decorated, baked cinnamon desserts, drank too much wine, and obsessively watched reality TV. Over the years, Victoria got to witness the additions of Moo and Ricky, Kathy's two true loves of her life. Victoria is so thankful to have Kathy in her life, as she is one of the kindest, funniest, and most caring humans she knows. She is both your hype man and the person that gives you a reality check when you need it. Kathy hates theme parks and hikes but has done all of the above because Victoria loves them and if that's not true friend love I don't know what is. Victoria truly believes that the trajectory of her life changed for the better through knowing Kathy and feels blessed to have her at her side through this important event.

Clark Winslow

Best Man

Taylor's older brother, Clark, the one who he both looked up to and despised at the same time. Clark was the one that introduced Taylor to his favorite sport, Lacrosse, various video games, and a constant barrage of painful punishments which included typewriter and suffocating Taylor in his own farts.

Nicole Rios

Bridesmaid

Nicole met Victoria the moment she was born and then proceeded to try to kill her on multiple occasions so she could stay the only child. Lucky for Victoria, Nicole was unsuccessful, and over the years they learned to tolerate, and then eventually enjoy each other. Though Victoria will never forget the time Nicole wouldn't let her Barbie camp at the "Greenwood" campground with her Barbie, and Nicole will probably never forgive Victoria for using her Crayola nail polish to paint the Barbie dream house roof, they still always have each others back and happily team up in roasting Keyan. Nicole has an impressive education in psychology and nutrition and will happily give guidance in any area of expertise the moment you ask. She has dropped everything on numerous occasions to help Victoria work through health issues and is always down to do a pet photoshoot.

Brooke Winslow

Best Woman

Taylor's twin and best woman! It wouldn't be complete without her by his side! She's funny, caring and all around a great person! They have their very own twin language and understand one another's weird humor and mantra songs they've been coming up with since pre-school.

Katie (Witwer) Rucki

Bridesmaid

Katie and Victoria met the summer of 2021 (Which is actually really sad because they could have met sooner if not for Covid) thanks to Shayne having the good fortune to be her partner and introducing her into everyone's lives. As soon as Victoria met Katie, she knew they would end up being friends. They bonded over their mutual love for Harry Potter, which grew into love for Christmas movies, reading, organizing fun parties, making potato dishes, and dogs. Oh ya, and did I mention dogs? Katie eventually jumped full force into the dog obsession when she bought her third dog, a half sibling to both Victoria's Aussies, and started training agility. Katie is an amazingly kind and fiercely loyal person that is happy to sit in silence grooming dogs, empathetically listen to your problems, or (probably) fight someone for you. Victoria can't imagine life without Katie, and is so thrilled to have her by her side on this important day.

Keyan Keihani

Groomsman

T: Keyan and Taylor are future brother in laws. Though only knowing Keyan for just a couple of years, he's made a big impact on Taylor, and he enjoy's his humorous stories, hospitable/welcoming personality, and expressive reactions to being scared! Not to mention, he's insanely talented with the guitar and writes his own music. V: Keyan is basically a brother to Victoria and has been in the family so long he may have stolen the role of closest sibling. He is an incredibly animated person, super welcoming and funny, and will drop anything to help you if you need it. He's currently reading Harry Potter for the first time so his likeability has raised exponentially. Having Keyan wholeheartedly welcome and befriend Taylor has been very meaningful to both Taylor and Victoria.

Celeste Yamagiwa-Trebino

Bridesmaid

Celeste and Victoria met many years ago, but really started to bond over summer of 2022 when Victoria tried to friend set up Taylor with Celeste's husband, Michael. Thinking that Michael and Taylor getting the same score on a personality quiz meant they were bound to be besties, Celeste and Victoria quickly started planning a backpacking and camping trip for the summer. Little did they know, they were actually setting themselves up to become camping, paddle boarding, and party planning sidekicks. Next thing they knew they were getting littermate Aussies together and are teaching their pups backpacking etiquette and agility foundations. If you ever need someone that's down to teach you how to pick up a new hobby as expensive as backpacking, or a yes man to throw a super cute party with Celeste is your girl.

Michael Trebino

Groomsman

Unbeknownst to Taylor and Michael, they were set up by Victoria and Celeste, who agreed they had a lot in common and should be friends. Michael and Taylor bonded over their mutual love for camping, paddle boarding, bbqing, and being awesome Aussie Dads. Michael is a great person to have around if you need any information about literally any topic, as he’s one of the most knowledgeable people Taylor knows. He’s always down to lend a helping hand, read the rules to a new game, and keeps Taylor in check when he’s getting a little too generous with the accelerant around the fire pit.

Camille Espinoza

Bridesmaid

Victoria and Camille met while both being employed as dog trainers in 2019. Though they both eventually left the company, they came out of it with a passion for training, an adopted dog each, and a lasting friendship. Their dogs are besties and coexist well during their frequent park hangs, long walks, hikes, and sometimes agility practice. There are very few people in the world Victoria trusts her dogs with implicitly, but Camille is one of them. When they’re not training dogs, one of their favorite shared pastimes is finding delicious places to eat and recommending vegan cheeses to each other.

Tyler Queenan

Groomsman

Tyler aka Tspotbigcity aka TQ! Taylor also met Tyler at Saint Mary's through lacrosse. Taylor and TQ hit it off as friends in college, sharing their weird humor, taste in music, and love of lacrosse. TQ has some insane dance moves, so if you see him on the dance floor, you better watch out!

Richard Rios

Bridesman

Richard is Victoria’s youngest brother, and though he is also now the tallest of the Rios kids he is still the little baby to his older sisters. Richard and Victoria bonded in adulthood over their mutual willingness to try anything and enjoy hiking, doing archery, paddle boarding, and bungee jumping together. Richard has always been super caring towards his family, loves collecting stuffed animals (Turtle might be his plus one), and is an insanely talented pianist. Victoria is incredibly proud of Richard for always excelling in school, pursuing his masters at Cal Poly, and staying true to himself. Luckily, Richard either forgave or forgot, that Victoria tried to burn him at the stake when they were kids.

Hayden Cook

Groomsman

Taylor met Hayden through the Saint Mary's College Lacrosse team, playing attack with one another. Hayden is a great friend with a heart of gold! Taylor has fond memories kicking it with him and Rico, Taylor's college roommate, at their apartment every day after lacrosse practice. Hayden is a great friend with a heart of gold, as it speaks for itself in the job that he does, running a non-profit lacrosse club in oakland for public schools.

Robbie Rios

Bridesman

Robbie was the first little brother Victoria had, and after getting over the initial shock of how breakable he was, Victoria learned to love having a tiny sidekick that thought everything she did was funny when in reality it probably was not. Robbie has always been super intelligent and driven to pursue higher education, which is reflected in his being accepted to UCLA for Law School. Robbie constantly impresses Victoria with how knowledgeable he is about anything and everything he’s interested in from World War 2, to politics, to Kanye West. He cares deeply for his family, friends, and family dog Zobear. Yes he may roast you mercilessly, but it will be with love...probably.

Nico Vanderkulget

Groomsman

Nico is yet another great friend from my college days at Saint Mary’s on the lacrosse team. He’s also a past roommate of mine as he crashed in my condo’s family room for a few months during his grueling SF fire academy training. Nico has a heart of gold and a soft spot for gingers since his son is one too!

Amber Winslow

Bridesmaid

Amber is Taylor’s sister-in-law, and has been in Taylor’s life for over ten years. She has seen Taylor grow up into the human he is today, and has been so supportive of his relationship with Victoria. Amber is always down for a cup of coffee, a hike, and being a listening ear if you need it. A perk of hanging with Amber is you often also get to hang with her perfect son Finn, who is the best nephew anyone could ask for. Victoria is so thrilled to have such an amazing person for a sister-in-law!

Spencer Terrien

Groomsman

Spencer was one of Taylor's first friends he met in college at Saint Mary's. They both connected and bonded over being on the lacrosse team and sharing the same classes. Spencer's a legend in our friend group, and he won't say no to a dare!

Shayne Rucki

Groomsman

Shayne has known Victoria since 2015 after being introduced through their mutual friend Kathy. Shayne and his partner Katie are both incredibly important people to Taylor and Victoria, and have spent so many holidays and special events together. They also own a sibling Aussie to Victoria’s dogs and their combined pack of six are like one big dog family. Shayne is the life of the party, loves his friends immensely, and is the best at convincing anyone to play any game he’s obsessed with at the moment.

Ricky Weber

Officiant

Ricky is a master rapper and by far one of the funniest people to exist, so he was the obvious first choice to perform the ceremony. He is also the life partner of Victoria’s Maid of Honor Kathy, which makes him basically family. Ricky is always welcoming to everyone, cares deeply about his friends, and is the king of shotgunning. When he’s not the life of the party, he can be found being a heating pad for their cat (and love of his life) Moo.
