Reception

Our Wedding

Kreli and I first met at the SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills. I was there for a friends birthday party and he was there on a guys trip. Our friends all met first and when we were introduced I thought Kreli was someones security. LOL. He said, "hi". And I said, "hi" back. I went back to my lounge chair and that was our first meeting. It wasn't until that night when I walked into 1Oak nightclub that we really connected. The birthday party I was at earlier in the day carried on into the night and this is how we ended up in the same nightclub. I remember Kreli was dressed so nice I said to myself, "wow, this man is so dapper". It was really crowed. I was so worried someone was going to spill their red drink on my all white dress. I looked up to him and asked if he would protect me from getting any drinks spilled on me. He put his arm around my waist and moved me in front of him. He assured me I had no worries. After all the dancing we headed back to the SLS. We stayed up all night talking and laughing. We had a lot of fun together. We spent the next day together before he had to leave back to Texas. He invited me to come visit him in Texas but I wasn't able to go for about a month. Kreli came back to LA just so he could take me on a proper date. He was such a gentlemen and really swept me off my feet. My first trip out to Texas is when I knew Kreli was someone really special. He rolled out the red carpet for me. He had everything planned out and wanted to really make sure I enjoyed myself. After a couple of months he told me I was going to be his wife. I thought the man was kinda crazy. He was very persistent with making me fall in love with him. I could no longer deny my feelings that were growing more and more everyday. We dated for months and he proposed on Christmas night of 2015. Kreli has always made me feel like I was the only girl in the world ever since I met him. He is so patient with me and loves me for me. He treats me with the upmost respect and he shares the same morales and beliefs as I do. I am looking forward to sharing my life with him and lil Kreli. I look forward to expanding our family, traveling, and being happy with my new best friend. We were two people looking for a lifetime partner and he gave me the kind of feelings that people write novels about.

Brooke's Story

The day I met my future was on a sunny California day, the boys and I were on a trip from Texas to LA.. Hanging out at the pool at the SLS. I was introduced to this tall good looking Amazon, but I thought she was stuck up, lol. She had stunner glasses
 on and a leopard one piece bathing suit, she fit it well LOl... But I went on about my business with my people... As the day turns to night, my life took a turn for the better and my future hired me for a lifetime job ... My boys and I are in VIP by the Dj booth , so it was crowded and the only thing I see is this gorgeous woman in a sexy white dress. I said to myself , "it must be meant to be"... It was Brooke walking my way, i said to myself ok I need to know her, then she said, "protect me, I'm scared someone is going to spill on my white dress." You know me, I replied, "I got u babe". Then after that we went back to the SLS and talked all night, then met up the next morning had brunch, it was just a good connection I thought, besides the fact she thought I was someone's body guard the first day we met lol..The rest is history in the making....

Amanda and I went to college together. I thought she was so interesting when we first met. Then I found out we were from the same town, so of course we had to be friends!!!!!  We got to explore Los Angeles together and be there as we grew into the women we are today.  Amanda is super stylish and has a keen eye for style and decor. She spends her Christmases with us at Uncle Mikes. She has her own stocking at the house that Santa fills it with candy every year. "Friendship is not about people who act true to your face. It's about people who remain true behind your back."

Jack Jack Is my ride or die. We have been friends for about 15 years and she would give me her last dollar if I really needed it. She holds a special place in my heart. We have been through ups and downs in our friendship but I could not picture my life with out her.  She is going to make a fantastic Auntie to my children.  She accepts me as I am. "A best friend is someone who you can talk to, who wont judge you, loves you for you, and, most of all, makes you feel like you are worth something."

Chanee and I met about 15 years ago. We went to school together in Long Beach.&nbsp;We have lived together and we have been there for each other over and over again. When Chanee and I get together you can expect lots of jokes and tons of laughter. She
    has truly inspired me these last couple of years. She is a mother of two and decided to leave her corporate job to follow her dream of being a chef. She is now running her own&nbsp;business and she is thriving. Not a lot of people have that type of
    courage or faith to make such a change and leave that security. She gave me the courage to do my own thing and work for myself. Chanee is also getting married this year and I get the privilege of walking in her wedding and being by her side. I look
    forward to our conversations as married women and helping each other in our journeys of being a new wife to our husbands.&nbsp;"A good friend is a connection to life, a tie to the past, a road to the future, a key to sanity in a totally insane world."&nbsp;

Chanee Thurston

I first met Erica when my brother brought her to the house as his new friend but she saw how cool I was and wanted to hang out with me :) ;&nbsp;this was about 16 years ago. We moved to LA together and we made a life there.&nbsp;&nbsp;We were each other's
support system. She has always been a huge supporter of me and she has always believed in me. She is so fun and is always happy. She thinks she is always right and&nbsp;can always change your mind to believe what she believes in, so she will challenge
you and argue her point til you either walk away or agree with her. Lol. She is super smart and walks on her own path.&nbsp;Erica has a beautiful heart and a great sense of humor. "Friendship isn't about who you have known the longest. It's about who
walked into your life, said, "I'm here for you." And proved it. "

Erica Kent

Lizzy is peace. She is not afraid. She takes chances and this is why she inspires me. She has grown into such a beautiful women. We also met through Chanee about 12 years ago. &nbsp;We have been there through all of our 20's together,&nbsp;LOL.&nbsp;&nbsp;(So
many stories and experiences.)&nbsp;Now in our thirties we are still able to grow together, hold each other accountable and cheer each on in this crazy life. Lizzy moved to the Islands of Turks and Caicos to follow her heart and I am so proud of her and
her beautiful life on the island. We&nbsp;don't get to see each other often but when we do we pick up right where we left off. Her laugh is contagious and her spirit is infectious. " friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity. "&nbsp;

Lizzy Rourick

Jaime and I have known each other since I was born :). I think Jaime and Mama D were my first visitors at the hospital. Our&nbsp;parents were very close&nbsp;friends but we grew up believing we were family. We thought we were cousins until we were old
    enough to figure out we weren't.&nbsp;I&nbsp;remember when Jaime got her own phone line in her room when we were in high school, so we forged notes&nbsp;to the school saying that our numbers&nbsp;changed. (To her room) so when we ditched school our
    parents never got the call. Lol, that didn't last very long because Mama D caught us. Jaime&nbsp;is such a inspiration. I hope to be as great as she is as a wife, a mother and a great person. I am so honored to have her by my side on my big day.
Best friend? Bitch please, she is my sister!
    


Jaime Guzman

Ms. Nikki Baby. She is very special to me. Her, Jaime and I were the Three Musketeers growing up. Jaime and Nikki are sisters and they always made me feel like their sister. Nikki and I were partners in crime. We were connected at the hip. Nikki knows
    me so well, we finish each other's sentences and can have a conversation through looks. Lol. Sounds crazy but it's true. It has been a fun road to travel with Nikki and we have endless memories. I can't wait to share my new life with her:)&nbsp;
"It's the times we're so crazy, that people think we're high. It's the times we laugh so hard, we can't help but cry. It's all the inside jokes and "remember whens". Those are all the reasons that we're best friends. "

I practailly lived at Pams house. Her moms cooking was tha BOMB. She always kept me in line and she was the one to introduce me to youth group. I loved being in her families home because there was so much love there. Pam and I first met &nbsp;in Middle
school at Vaca Pena. She has always been one of the most sweetest, truthful and down ass gal's&nbsp;I've known. &nbsp;I admire her dedication to her faith and her loyalty. Pam has 5 children with her loving husband. She is able to keep her self together,
work, run a youth group with her hubby, keep her relationships up with her girlfriends&nbsp;and take care of home all at the same time. I am so blessed to have her in my corner. She is an angel. " A faithful friend is a strong defense: and he that hath
found one hath found a treasure."&nbsp;

    


Pamela Delrosby

Aunt Steph came into my life when I was still in high school. She married my Uncle Mike and she has been such a huge inspiration to me. She stays true to herself. She has tremendous&nbsp;faith and always guides me by example. I am so thankful for her.
I admire her patience and her determination to be the best wife and mother.&nbsp;
"She isn't my mother. She isn't my sister. She's one of the family who's more like a friend. She has fun with me, laughs with me, listens to me, encourages me. She spends time with me, believes in me, shares with me, cheers for me. She understands me
    like a mother. She's there for me like a sister. And perhaps best of all, she loves me like a friend."&nbsp;

Aunt Steph Ruble

Mrs. St.Clair 👸🏻 we have lived together, we have had fights, we have cried, we have laughed till our cheeks hurt and we have had each other's backs. &nbsp;We don't speak everyday but it is&nbsp;never awkward when we do get to link up. I love her husband&nbsp;and
her&nbsp;children. I think she is&nbsp;beautiful inside and out.&nbsp;She&nbsp;knows&nbsp;how to listen and she&nbsp;gives&nbsp;great advice. Enji and I met about &nbsp;14&nbsp;years ago through Chanee. I knew as soon as I met Enji, she was going to be
a lifer. I have got to watch her bloom into a supportive wife and a loving mother. By watching her journeyI have learned a lot from her on how to be a wife and eventually a mother. " Friends are connected heart to heart. Distance and time can't break
them apart."

Enji St.Clair

My Kare Bear. Funny story, I didn't like Karen when I first met her. Pam befriend her and kept telling me how sweet she was and I wasn't buying it. It wasn't till I was at the high school basketball game and my pager kept going off that she turned around
and asked if I needed to use her cell phone to make a call. I was so impressed by her generosity that I felt bad for not liking her and we became so close that we would wear matching outfits , a lot ! Lol. I can talk to Karen about anything. She never
judges me, she only loves me.&nbsp;Karen&nbsp;and&nbsp;I growing up had the times of our lives together.&nbsp;"The only reason God didn't make us sisters is
because one mom couldn't handle us both." &nbsp;Karen is now a mother to baby Ace who you will see walking down the aisle. She is such a great women and I am so blessed to have her as my bestfriend.&nbsp;

Karen Andrews 

LoL! This was love at first sight. I met Sebastian while working at Sprint about 10 years ago. We would have so much fun looking through people's phones at work while he worked on them.&nbsp;We use to take our lunch breaks and go get our eyebrows done
every 2 weeks.&nbsp;After leaving Sprint we continued our friendship. I became a hair stylist and Sebastian shared with me that he would love to do hair. I encouraged him to go to school and today he is an amazing stylist in Orange County.&nbsp;(Almost
as good as me 😜) &nbsp;we don't get to hang out often but this guy is always on my mind and I love him and his partner Chad. " A true&nbsp;Friendship isn't about being inseparable, it's being separated and nothing changes. "&nbsp;

    

Xoxo love you&nbsp;

Sebastian Ray

I met Denee through a mutual friend and as soon as I met her, I knew I was going to be her friend. We use to go out all the time. We use to dance our nights away or have game nights at the house. We have become closer over the last couple years. I can always count on her to keep it real. She has really made an impact on my life. She is a very strong women who is a leader and go getter. Our long nights of going out have turned into mild sleepovers or days filled with shopping and eating. lol. We have spent the last 4 Thanksgivings together, learning how to become better cooks every year and trying to get dinner ready before 4pm, LOL.  Bestfriend, thank you for standing by my side when times get hard, thank you for making me laugh when I didn't even want to smile.  I love you and your friendship. 

Denee Stevens 

Nicole and I met at youth group and then became friends through Karen. We have built so many memories together. We have been friends for about 18 or 19 years and we have held hands every step of the way within those years.  "Sometimes in life, you find a special friend. Someone who changes your life just by being part of it. Someone who makes you laugh until you can't stop. Someone who makes you believe that there really is good in the world. Someone who convinces you that there really is an unlocked door just waiting for you to open it. This is forever friendship. When you're down and the world seems dark and empty, your forever friend lifts you up in spirit and makes that dark and empty world suddenly seem bright and full. Your forever friend gets you through the hard times, the sad times and the confused times. If you turn and walk away, your forever friend follows. If you lose your way, your forever friend guides you and cheers you on. Your forever friend hold your hand and tells you that everything is going to be okay. And if you find such a friend, you feel happy and complete because you need not worry. You have a forever friend, and forever has no end."
