Lauren is the older sister of Megan! She's the mother of the cutest little almost 2 year old girl named Vincenza!! Everyone who knows Lauren & Megan, have known & still know them as the "Martinez Sisters" because the two of them have been inseparable since they were kids. They share the same group of friends, enjoy sipping on espresso martinis, vacationing together, having sister slumber parties with movies, matching pajamas, playing games, doing puzzles & indulging in delicious food while visiting about everything & anything! Being sisters doesn't mean they necessarily have to be close but boy, they sure are!!! They are each others best friend (sorry Rick & Ryan)!!

Lauren Loiacono

Miss Vincenza!! She is the light of not only her parents eyes but her Zija Mae Mae's too! She is full of spunk, goofiness, sweetness, intelligence, sass & so much more! She brings all of the laughter & joy to everyone the minute she enters a room! Just wait, you all will see for yourselves when she struts down the aisle with her basket of flower petals!!

Vincenza Alessandra Loiacono

Gina is the older sister of Talia, who is also a bridesmaid! Both Gina & Talia are Megan's first cousins! Growing up as cousins, they lived 7 miles from each other which meant they were always together with either Aunt Jane and Uncle Mex (Megan's parents) or Uncle Mike and Aunt Leah (Gina & Talia's parents) until they decided to leave Salinas behind & find a whole new way of living in Colville Washington! Gina is married to a wonderful man named Jed & together they share 3 beautiful children (James, Ella & Olivia). She is everything sweet, goofy, caring, hilarious, beautiful, kind, loving & smart! She loves cats (our whole family does LOL). She enjoys baking, cooking, creating unforgettable memories with her husband & kids such as cutting their own Christmas trees, playing games, camping, fishing, swimming, lake trips, watching childhood classics and so much more.

Talia is the younger sister of Gina! With both her and Megan being the youngest kids in their families, they were sure to cause lots of ruckus as the rowdy little trouble makers!! Both her & Megan's parents wanted to pull their hair out many of times because of the trouble they created (you're welcome family for all the funny stories that we have to laugh about now). Talia is a badass with a gun! Got a full ride scholarship to Lindenwood University in St. Charles Missouri for skeet shooting! That is where she met her amazing husband Jared (also a badass skeet shooter). They went on to lay roots down in Missouri & have 3 incredible children (Addison, John & Matthew). Talia is fun, silly, smart, patient, loving, supportive & beautiful! She enjoys shooting when she can, going for walks with her kids & dogs, traveling to visit family, reading all sorts of books, doing puzzles, sudoku, cooking & watching classic childhood memories!

Christina is also another cousin of Megan's! She is tiny but boy is she mighty! Her career at Nestle has taken her all around the world calling places like Switzerland home for a little window of time. She too lived close by to Megan (4 houses down to be exact) as they were growing up! They used to love riding up & down their street in Toro Park in Christina's little jeep car together. Christina is an only child and has been taken under Megan & Lauren's wing as a little sister! She is sweet, intelligent, stylish, hardworking, tiny (hence how her nickname "Little" came about). She's a fan of good espressos/teas, loves traveling any time her schedule allows, exploring new restaurants, sipping a good martini & spending time with family!!
