Our Wedding

<p>It all started back in June 2019. Grace and I were working out at Crunch Gym one Saturday morning. During the workout I could feel the eyes of this blonde girl from afar. As I looked over, I thought we were making eye contact ( I was not wearing contacts at the time). This happened throughout the workout. I had never seen this cute blonde girl at the gym before. Figured this was my shot because I may never see her again (prior to what is about to happen next I was/am opposed to hitting on girls at the gym). After my workout I walked up to her, not knowing what to say or do and the words "Hey, I don't ever do this but how old are you?" came out of my mouth. She replied, "I'm 19, how old are you?" I was 25 at the time and asked if that was out of her age range. Relieving she answered, "No, not necessarily". Then, I asked for her name. In my mind I thought I was somewhat in the same age range because she couldn't see I had a nice head of grey hair under my hat. I asked for her number and about a week later we went on our first date. At that time she told me she looked at me a time or two but not as much as I thought she was. Thank goodness for my poor eyesight and random confidence that morning I found the girl I will always love forever. -Bobby</p>

Our Story

Ally and I met the summer before our freshman year of high school. We both were planning on joining water polo and had a strong background in swimming. As most of you may know, I am fairly shy around new people and seem a little stand-offish. Ally did not let that stop her from sparking our friendship. After multiple days of trying to get me to talk to her and laugh at her jokes, I gave in. We instantly clicked and have been best friends ever since. She always has my back and has given me great advice and comfort in difficult times. I'm so grateful to have her as a friend and as my maid of honor. -Grace

Ally Wilcox 

Sam and I have been friends since preschool at Beachpoint Church and we have been going to school together ever since. As kids, we would have sleepovers at Lauren's house almost every weekend. We share a love for baking and eating junk food. We also share a belief that if we go to the gym enough, it cancels out all the junk food we eat. Sam is an amazing person and shows it through her kind and compassionate actions. I'm excited to have her as one of my bridesmaids standing next to me on my special day. -Grace

Samantha Andrade

Lauren is another friend I made in preschool. We have always been very close and have never had a problem getting along. We could hangout for multiple days in a row and never get tired or annoyed with each other. She is one of my favorite people to hangout with. We both share a love for baths and a strong hate for math. Lauren has always been there for me. Her house was my second home growing up. Her family has always made me feel so loved and welcomed. I'm thankful to have Lauren as one of my bridesmaid and a lifelong friend. -Grace

Lauren Burney

Berkley and I have been best friends since birth thanks to our moms. Our families are very close and basically merge together as one big family when we are all together. We have gone on several family vacations and camping trips together. We spend a lot of time riding our bikes down to the beach in the summer or hanging out by the pool. We share a love for the ocean and have done countless years of junior guards and swim lessons together as children. I am so grateful that we are still such amazing friends and that we were able to grow up together. I am so lucky to have Berkley as one of my bridesmaids on my wedding day. -Grace

Berkley Flicker 

Morgan and I have been friends since preschool at Beachpoint Church. We have celebrated almost all of our birthdays together considering we were only born three days apart (and in the exact same hospital). Morgan has been a really great friend in throughout my life and I'm so glad we were able to grow up together. Despite going through a few different friend groups, we always came out together. From napping next to Morgan in preschool to planning our college schedules together to be in the same classes, I'm thankful she will be standing next to me for another milestone in my life.  -Grace

Morgan Gheno

Rusty and I became friends at church a handful of years ago. Rusty is a good dude who works hard and has a solid head on his shoulders. He is understanding and gets the way I think. We never hung out everyday, like Grace and some of her bridesmaids, but the friendship was always solid. Rusty is someone I can always go to and count on. He's definitely one of my best friends and I'm honored to have him be my best man. And ladies... he's single!

Rusty Rydjeski

Nathan and I first met while playing pick up basketball at church. We instantly became friends and he persuaded me to switch gyms to workout with him. While living in his extra room for about a year he taught me a lot. From doing floor jazzerize to clean his wood floors to being my personal tutor, I couldn't hope but to have him as one of my groomsmen. If Nathan could trust me , a scranny guy, to spot him while loading up over 300lbs, I could easily trust him as my groomsmen. I'm glad he is going to be in Grace and I's wedding. If you need to find him at the reception, check the dance floor. Ladies, he's single as well.

Nathan Despain

Bryson and I have been buddies our whole life. We basically fist bumped in the hospital when we were born. Bryson and I would walk home from school together multiple times a week. We played rec sports at school and in the front yard. Bryson has a mindset that I've always admired and strived for. When he wants something in life he will achieve it. Bryson has always been a super good friend to me. Although I am taller, I look up to Bryson and am glad he's part of my wedding. -Bobby

Bryson Mummert

Chase, also known as "Brotha" (said in a British Accent), and I became friends when he started dating my sister. At first I was a little skeptical of him but after hitting the club one night I realized he is a great guy. His style in clothing was matched unintentionally for quite awhile. After converting him to the best donut shop in La Habra and showing him the La Habra way of living he fits right in as one of the groomsmen in the wedding. -Bobby

Chase Mattsson

Alec and I met roughly 7 years ago while on a mission for our church. I looked up to him quite a lot. He has a sense of humor that gets me. After returning from our missions we would meet up on trips and continue our friendship through (without a doubt) getting a Portillo hot dog and chocolate cake shake, workout talks, and sharing music. Alec is just an all around good dude. I'm glad he's apart of this.  -Bobby
