"Kourt has been my best friend since the moment she was born. Even though I'm the oldest, I've looked to her in so many ways throughout my life. We’ve shared countless hilarious, embarrassing, and unforgettable memories together. I know without a doubt that I can count on her to fix my hair, my makeup, or my dress—no matter the time of day. I honestly can’t imagine anyone else filling her shoes as my maid of honor. She’s been there for me through it all, and I’m beyond grateful to have her by my side on this special day. Oh, and let’s not forget—she’s the one who basically set Carlos and I up!"

"My baby sister has the most infectious sense of humor and the kind of energy that lights up any room! She’s honestly the funniest and most outgoing person in our family, and I know she’s going to bring so much joy and laughter to this day. She’s also hands down the best road trip buddy, screaming lyrics with her at the top of our lungs is one of my favorite things to do! I’m beyond lucky to have her by my side as a bridesmaid, and I can’t wait to have her on aux while we get ready. It’s going to be so much fun!"

"From the moment I met Kish we were inseparable. Even after she transferred schools and moved away, we kept the bond strong with monthly facetimes, random visits, including an unforgettable trip to Hawaii last summer! She has a contagious glow and a carefree spirit that makes life both intense and so much fun! Through all the growing pains of adulthood, we have always had each other. She’s been a constant source of love and support. I am so grateful to have her in my life!"

"Maiah is someone I’ve always seen as a little sister. She was a freshman when I was an upperclassman at Highlands, and even though we’re complete opposites in so many ways, we somehow balance each other out. Through the challenges of college athletics and navigating life in small-town Las Vegas, NM, we helped each other survive it all. I’m so grateful for the bond we share, and her efforts to keep me up to date with new slang. I wouldn’t have made it through those years without her by my side."

"Charlie and I grew up just down the road from each other, riding our bikes for hot chocolate in the summer and playing endless games of hide and seek in her basement, to questionable roadtrips in the summer (lucky to be alive). We have shared countless memories and somehow, no matter where life has taken us, we’ve always stayed in touch. Whenever we’re together, it feels like no time has passed, and I’m reminded of those simpler days. I’m so lucky to have her by my side and I know that no matter what, we’ll always be there for each other."

"I met Alyssa at Fort Lewis College, and from the moment we met, she took me under her wing. She helped me survive physics and chemistry. Honestly, I couldn’t have done it without her (she is a literal GENIUS!). We share so many memories, from late-night McDonald's runs to laughter-filled moments that still make me smile. I’ve never forgotten the kindness and support she’s given me over the years. She’s such a sweet, genuine person, and I’m so grateful to have her as a friend."

"Over the years, Jorge has been like the older brother I never had. We played baseball together in high school—me as the freshman tracking his pitching with the radar gun—and later found ourselves on opposite sides in college. Now, we're in year five of coaching varsity baseball together at our alma mater. Despite all the rounds of golf we’ve played, neither of us has actually improved… but honestly, who even keeps score? There’s no one else I’d rather hop fences with to retrieve lost golf balls or be stranded in the mountains with when the truck breaks down (with no service, of course). Beyond being one of my best friends, he's been like a big brother to me. Oh, and P.S.—he definitely called that I’d be engaged to Jordyn before baseball season even started. Guess you could say he knew I was in love from the start."

"The way he carries himself, you’d think he’s the oldest brother. He’s definitely the most strict, time-conscious, and particular one of the bunch. Back in high school, he was the classic pesky little brother, but now, he’s hands down the best outdoor and spontaneous adventure buddy you could ask for. Whether it’s hiking miles through the mountains on our hunts, getting stuck off-roading, or heading out on fishing trips—he’s always up for it. That being said... cough cough I’m still the better fisherman. 😉"

"Abe isn’t a man of many words, and with his dry humor and deadpan sarcasm, you’d think he walked straight off the set of The Office. But when it comes to snowboarding, he’s the best partner you could ask for—always up for a trip, though somehow there’s always an excuse for why he can’t drive. Instead, he claims his spot as the designated passenger, usually sleeping the whole way. Like I said, he’s not the most talkative guy, and sure, he might throw in a complaint or two, but when it really matters, he’ll always be there—no questions asked."

"My little brother has been my best friend since day one. He definitely hit the genetic jackpot in the Ramirez family—blessed with the best hair, the brightest smile, a magnetic personality, and enough charisma for all of us. From a young age, he’s been my adventure partner, never backing down from a sketchy mountain ride on a beat-up bicycle. Whether it's fashion tips or life advice, he's the one I turn to for his wisdom. He’s the DJ on every road trip, always playing the bangers, and the undeniable life of the party. I couldn't ask for a better little brother."

"I’m so thankful that Drew, my little brother, could be part of this special day. Initially, I considered having him as a bridesmaid, but thankfully for his sake...Carlos let him be a groomsman. The day wouldn't be complete without having him up there. Drew’s humor is honestly one of a kind—his sarcastic remarks and witty comebacks never fail to crack me up. He has this effortless way of lightening the mood and bringing laughs to every moment, I’m so happy I get to share this day with him!"
