Beth and I met at CSU Channel Islands. We were both RA in housing and bonded instantly. She helped me survive being in charge of my crazy freshmen and provided a safe haven ( her on-campus apartment) for naps, home sessions, and dinners. Even though I had to transfer colleges, our friendship has remained strong and since then I graduated nursing school, she got her bachelors and masters in teaching with an emphasis in special education. She is currently in Las Vegas teaching and even though she is 4 hours away, we make the time to facetime, visit, and do whatever we can in between. I'm so thankful to have her in my life and beside me.

Kaylee and I met sophomore year in high school. We have grown up together, thrived on facetime calls, and going to Disneyland frequently when we both lived nearby. I went to my first concert with her at the Rose Bowl seeing One Direction and 5SOS. Kaylee and I would routinely do homework together at coffee shops, our houses, and Disney. Before moving out of state, I got Kaylee into reading and since then we spy on each other's Goodreads apps for book recommendations and seeing our reading goals. Since Kaylee has moved out of state, we have stayed in touch by any means possible. I am happy to have my long term friend beside me and can't wait to see what memories we can create through this process!

I met Kailey through Kyle's friend Alec. We were invited to his 25th birthday celebration at a winery outside Paso Robles. Kailey was dating Alec at that time and we hit it off the moment we met. We spent the weekend at their house and both of us found out Kyle and Alec work as engineers. We spent hours seeing where the boys were similar and that sparked our friendship. Since then we have spent multiple weekends switching back and forth visiting each other in SLO and OC. Kyle and I were able to surprise them the night they got engaged and spent the weekend celebrating them. They returned the favor and surprised us at dinner the night we got engaged.

I basically grew up with Jen. Her grandparents live next door and before her grandma passed, Jen and I would bake cookies with her. We went to different high schools, but would see each other on the softball fields when we played against each other. Jen moved out of state, but once she came back to California, we reconnected. We have spent Halloween parties together and I met Kyle on a surprised double date with her now boyfriend Logan. From getting our nails done, binging "Euphoria" together, to a trip to Havasu, Jen always knows how to have a good time. I'm so excited to have reconnected so many years ago and can't wait to have her in my bridal party.

Clarissa is Kyle's older sister. She has always been there for Kyle and has been so helpful throughout our relationship. She has had multiple jobs throughout her life and thrives in new opportunities. She helped create a beautiful engagement party for us and remains a great resource for us. She loves to snowboard and other adventerous hobbies. Even though I have only known her for a couple year, I am so thankful she is my future sister in law and I can't wait to get to know her more.

Jaelyn and I met at CBU's Nursing program. With study sessions, classes, and clinicals together we quickly became friends. With classes online due to Covid and living far away from each other, we have made time for each other.

Alec and I meet over 6 years ago at our first internship at Oakley. We have stayed close over all these years and have become like brothers. Cierra and I love to visit him and his wife up in Santa Maria as much as we can. I can wait to have him by my side on our special day.

Kyle am I meet at church and have gotten very close over the past few years with our common hobbies and love for hockey.

I met Josh at Friends church. We have become very close friends over the past few years with our love for the outdoors and sports.

Colby and I were roommates in college. Our time as roommates was full of fun memories and adventures. We have stayed close throughout all these years despite being far away from one another. I am excited to have him in my wedding party as I was able to be in his wedding party when he got married to his beautiful wife Grace.

I have know Levi for a very long time as we went to the same Junior High group at Ev Free Fullerton church. We both grew up playing soccer together and going on many backpacking trips. Levi and I did our first Triathlon together and have made many more memories over the years.

I have known Caleb for over 2 years now. He is Cierra's brother, but has started to become my brother as well. We have grown closer over our love of golf and everything engineering related. I am so excited to have him as my brother-in-law.
