I’m stoked to introduce Jake Cites, my best man and my younger brother. Jake is not just my sibling; he’s my ultimate partner in crime, and our bond goes way beyond blood. We’ve been riding the waves of life together for as long as I can remember, and having him by my side on this special day is a true honor.

Jake calls the beautiful island of Maui home, where he’s living the dream amidst those epic sunsets and the aina (land) we’ve both come to cherish. Out there in paradise, I've been lucky enough to spend time with Jake chasing birdies on the disc golf course. Whether we’re sinking a putt or just vibing in the aloha spirit, Jake’s been my rock and my go-to guy. His enthusiasm for life and his infectious laugh make every adventure memorable.

Jake’s not just my best friend; he’s my ohana (family) in every sense of the word. His aloha spirit and positive vibes have a way of making every moment brighter and every challenge easier to face. As my best man, Jake is a testament to the deep bond we share—a bond built on trust, laughter, and countless shared experiences. His ability to keep things light-hearted, even in the most serious of moments, is something I deeply admire.

So here’s to Jake Cites, my brother and best man. I’m incredibly grateful for his unwavering support and the countless memories we’ve made together. Having him by my side today means the world to me as we celebrate this special occasion and continue our journey together.

I am overjoyed to introduce Kelly, my daughter, as my bridesmaid. At just 20 years old, she has already filled my life with more joy and love than I ever thought possible. Kelly is incredibly artistic and insightful, possessing a wisdom beyond her years that continues to amaze me daily.

Megan, my sweet baby cousin and now one of my closest friends. I’ve watched you blossom over the last several years into an amazing wife, mother and human being. I am so happy to have you next to me. You and Brandon have inspired me in so many ways! I am watching and learning while the two of you have built a home- twice- endured so much and just powered through it all. I love you with all of my heart. I feel like we are growing up together now, and I like it. Most importantly- I love that you teach me things about myself that I never knew, and I am so lucky to have you as my cousin and as a best friend.
