Caralee is one of Bekah's besties and former roommate! They met at SIUe in Edwardsville, then roomed together in STL for two years. They always say their friendship was an "answered prayer." Some even think her and Bekah are scarily similar and mistake them for sisters! She is also close with the groom, as they are on nick-name basis with each other ("Care-Care" & "Car Car"). From the coffee dates to the "roomie nights," Caralee has been there for it all and the bride + groom are blessed to have her a part of this day!

Abby is one of Bekah's besties and a long-time Oak Bridge City Church friend! They met over 6 years ago on a church trip, and have never stopped growing closer.

She comes to nearly every one of Bekah's music gigs (#1 fan!), and also leads worship with Bekah on Sunday nights for the Youth Group. Abby has been a loyal friend to both Bekah and Carlos over the years and they are so thankful for her to be a part of this day!

Hannah is one of Bekah's besties and one of her Oak Bridge City Church pals as well! They've known each other for many years growing up, but became close when Hannah began attending Oak Bridge in 2020. The bride is so thankful that church brought this sweet friendship together. Fun fact: In Spring of 2025, Bekah moved a few doors down from Hannah and Nick and they became neighbors! Hannah is a fun-loving friend who is always down to laugh at memes and can make light of any situation. She is also the most supportive "hype-girl" ever. The bride and groom are thankful to have her energy on this day, but especially on the dance floor! ;)

It will be such a full-circle moment for Carlos and Bekah to have Jor celebrate with them on this special day!

Katelyn is one of Bekah's besties, also from Oak Bridge City Church (yes, another one!) They were in the same small group with Jordan, but Bekah and Katelyn really became close when they became small group leaders together! Bekah could not have chosen a better person to lead with, and has been thankful for how it has grown their freindship over the years. Don't make either of them laugh too hard or they will start snorting (one sets the other off). Katelyn is infectious to be around and so caring as a friend. The bride and groom are so honored for her to be a part of this day!

Alex is one of Carlos's longest friendships. They met almost 10 years ago and bonded over riding BMX and other shared interests.
