Almost 10 years ago, Kiera met Kailey at Buffalo Wild Wings in South Central LA accompanied by their now ex-boyfriends. Ever since that day, and their first actual hang out (when Kailey asked Kiera if she wanted a Stella at 9 AM for the Celtics game), they became chosen sisters. Kailey is the most fun, loving, and down-to-earth gal on this planet and Kiera's ride-or-die, and now maid of honor.
Kailey resides in Alhambra, living with her angel of a fiancé, Lloyd. Kiera is so excited that they are engaged/getting married and going through this journey together! Wouldn't have it any other way.
Nick Herron - Best Man
At the age of 5, Josh and his Aunt Mae Mae stumbled upon Nick playing around in front of his house. Their shared experiences from starting kindergarten, riding BMX, to the awkwardness of puberty, have shown they've been through every stage of life together thus far. He's a very genuine person who loves fishing, karaoke, and the Padres, but really if there is a Coors light in his hand, he's always having a good time. It's no surprise that Nick was asked to be the best man.
Natasha Schnell - Bridesmaid
Meet Natasha also known as Tatiana, Tot or Hottie Tottie!
Their friendship blossomed back in the city of angels. From hungover laughs on the couch, exploring Europe, Chris Lilly, countless shows and festivals, and an undying love for Michael Bibi it's safe to say their bond is something special.
Joelsph Thieme - Groomsman
Joel and Josh became friends in high school. From snowboarding, and getting their hands dirty at work, to convincing girls they were brothers on a night out, they've had their fair share of fun together. Joel accompanied Josh on his first meet-up with Kiera - turns out he's the best wingman he could have asked for.
Lindsay Masotta - Bridesmaid
From the Dirty Burg to now San Diego, Lindsay and Kiera's bond has grown over the years into a sister-like friendship. Lindsay is the ultimate travel-queen visiting 30 countries and has always helped to get Kiera out of her comfort zone. Whether it be vent sesh walks through PB, swiping on Hinge (mostly left), beach picnics, constant voice memos, and trips to Los Portales, Lindsay and Kiera have an inseparable bond.
Luis Ibarra - Groomsman
Luis and Josh started their friendship through racing and drifting their old BMWs around the city. Their connection grew even stronger during their time together in Sydney, Australia.
...And as far as Josh's car being faster, well, some friendly rivalries never die do they?
Paige Buschkoetter - Bridesmaid
Paige aka PB and/or peanutbuttavibez is the absolute life of the party! Ever since Kiera met Paige back in 2016 the good times have never stopped. Whether it be vibing out to MØ at Coachella, USD tailgates, sleeping at the Whaler, and all the times in between Kiera couldn't imagine life without Paige. Don't worry - Paige will write a book one day ;)
Matt Coskran - Groomsman
After some time of Josh dating Kiera he had the pleasure of meeting her brother Matt, one of the most down-to-earth, fun and cool dudes Josh has ever met. Matt loves anything outdoors, is a die-hard Tottenham fan, and loves a brewski (just like Josh). Josh can't wait to have Matt be a part of the wedding party - cheers to being brother-in-laws!
P.S. Josh always wanted to have two ginger brothers!
Joe Valdez - Officiant
Kiera and Josh wanted an officiant they knew and had a connection with. Given that Joe is Josh's younger brother, Joe-Joe Potato (the original ginger brother) seems like the best guy for the job. He's a fun, sarcastic, outdoorsy guy who wants to live life to the fullest.
Whether it be cheating at every game at family game night, or leaving dishes all around the house for his mother to clean up, Joe is a class act - which is why we decided to have him as our officiant - naturally :)
FYI -
He might even like the Padres more than Nick!
