Brett isn't just my older brother; he's been my partner in crime since childhood. From our mischievous adventures to our deepest conversations, I've always looked up to him, both as a child and as an adult. Brett serves as a San Diego Sheriff's officer, and I couldn't be prouder of him. His dedication to serving and protecting our community is truly admirable. Residing in Oceanside with his wonderful wife Sara and their two beautiful daughters, Avery and Zoey, Brett embodies the values of love, family, and commitment. I couldn't imagine anyone else standing beside me as my best man on this special day. Brett, thank you for always being there for me, and I'm honored to have you by my side.

Sean and I forged a lasting friendship during our high school years. Not only is he an exceptional friend, but he's also a devoted husband to Vicki and a loving father to their two incredible children. Their shared passion for making a positive impact led Sean and Vicki to Uganda, where they dedicated themselves to working with charities they deeply believed in. Now settled in Salt Lake City, they cherish family time, immersing themselves in the outdoors with their kids, and frequenting their family homestead in Colorado. It's an honor to have Sean as one of my groomsmen, standing by my side as we celebrate this momentous occasion.

Devin and I met on the high school football field. Despite my mom's initial concerns about his wild appearance, Devin proved to be an exceptional friend. With a big heart and an adventurous spirit, he's always there when you need him. From high school and college to studying abroad, we've shared countless adventures. However, our backpacking trip through Europe stands out as the most memorable. Devin has been by my side, making every moment unforgettable. Now, Devin resides in Irvine with his wonderful wife Maria, and their beautiful son Anthony.

Cort and I have been inseparable since the 3rd grade, exploring every nook and cranny of our school campus together after hours while our moms worked late. Despite attending different high schools and colleges, our friendship endured, and Cort has always been there for me. He embodies the true essence of a loyal friend. Cort lives in Santa Ana with his wonderful wife Amy, who is expecting their first child, Thomas Brandon Distanislao. I'm honored to have Cort as one of my groomsmen, standing by my side as we embark on this new journey.

They say when you get married, you also marry your spouse's family. Well, let's just say I couldn't be happier to marry Sam. He's an incredible and handsome man, and I'm eagerly looking forward to all the wonderful times we'll share together.

Bryan and I have been like brothers ever since our grade school days at St. Mary's. Through the years, he's been there for me through thick and thin, sharing countless unforgettable moments. From visiting him at Cal Poly to conquering my first half marathon together and even traveling to India, Bryan has always been my partner in adventure and laughter. Now, Bryan resides in Costa Mesa with his lovely wife Kelly and their adorable daughter Kora, embracing the joys of family life. I'm incredibly grateful to have Bryan as one of my groomsmen, standing by my side as we celebrate the next chapter of my life.

Lance and I have been close friends since our high school days, and our bond has remained strong despite life taking us on different paths.

Lance's friendship has been a constant source of joy and support in my life, and I'm honored to have him as one of my groomsmen.

Currently, Chase is pursuing his passion for music alongside his lovely bride-to-be, Alex.

Hunter and I met in grade school at St Mary's. Hunter attended UC Santa Barbra and now sells booze for a living. I am not sure what that school teaches its students but I'm told it's a real University. Years later Hunter would return to Santa Barbara to marry his bride Megan (officiated by yours truly of course) and together they live in Rancho Mission Viejo with their beautiful daughter Coley Baby!

Jeremy and I go way back, but it was during our time at the University of Colorado that our friendship truly solidified. As college roommates, we bonded over our shared love for snowboarding, often escaping to the mountains for thrilling adventures on the slopes. In the years that followed, our friendship only grew stronger as we embarked on countless adventures together. From camping trips under the stars to exploring breathtaking destinations like Lake Powell, Zion National Park, and even Mexico, Jeremy has been my steadfast companion through it all.

Patti Weaver holds a special place in my heart, not only as a great friend since high school but also as one of the two people responsible for introducing me to Mackenzie. For this reason, she has been chosen not only to be one of our groomsmen but also as our officiant!

Patti, her husband Kyle, and their two beautiful kids are some of the best people we have ever known. We are privileged to call them friends and look forward to many more beach days, camping trips, BBQs, and adventures to find Black Beard Weaver.
