My Grandma Moe is one of the most important women in my life. She is a role model, a guiding power, and a true friend. My parents, Debbie and Dan Gallardo, were married by my Great Grandpa Sim, my Grandma Moe’s father. My Grandma Moe and Papa Richard were both fundamental to the beginning of Elvis and I’s relationship. The only person I could imagine to guide us in unifying together as a married couple is the incomparable Maureen File.

The one, the only, Brooke Mountain. Brooke is more than a friend; she is a sister! Brooke and I met in Austin when we were just broke dog mamas. Brooke’s pup, Honey, is to this day Cruise’s (my dog) best friend. We have stories and memories all over Austin and a life time to make more.

Nicolas! Nico! Neek! My baby brother is my best friend. Through all of life’s ups and downs, Nico always has my back. One day, you’ll find us out on our ranch, livin’ it up. Special Note: Nico will be wearing the cowboy hat and boots of my late grandfather, Richard File, for the wedding

Griffin! Fiffy! Fif! My baby baby brother is my best friend! I have never met a more impressive man. Griffin has grown into a strong, hard working, skilled man. With New York calling his name, he has big things ahead of him. Special Note: Griffin will be wearing the cowboy hat and boots of my late grandfather, Richard File, for the wedding.

Kayley and I are notorious for shutting down restaurants, standing in parking lots, and being asked “y’all are still here?” because we NEVER STOP TALKING!! Kayley is the only person I would want by my side through the trials and tribulations of the University of Texas and the chaos of The Rise School (our first jobs after graduation). I’ll obliviously chatter and laugh with her until the restaurant staff begins cleaning up around us until the end of time!

I love this woman with all my soul. Suruchi and I instantly had a connection that is beyond words. No matter the powers of the world around us, I will always be drawn to her and the warmth, kindness and genuine energy she fills any room she is in with.

My adventure buddy til the end! Molly and I have worked together and adventures together. Molly is an amazingly trustworthy friend. She was one of my first confidants to know about THE Elvis Hernandez. Through all those talks with Molly, I think I made a pretty good decision.
