Our Story

Photos

Sister, best friend, and lifelong partner-in-crime. She’s been by the bride’s side since day one, always just a phone call away for a rant, advice, or a much-needed reality check. While their early years were filled with plenty of sibling arguments, those moments only strengthened the bond they share today. Now one of the bride’s closest friends, she brings laughter, honesty, and unwavering support—making her the perfect person to keep the bride grounded, smiling, and only slightly less dramatic on the big day.

Nicole Cabada Valle

The Big Sis & Bonus Mom. She naturally has a mom mentality—always caring, protective, and ready to show up in whatever way is needed. Known for her quick wit and constant jokes, she brings laughter wherever she goes. From the very beginning, she made the groom feel genuinely welcomed and embraced as part of the family. The bride couldn’t imagine doing life—or celebrating this wedding—without her by her side.

Yulissa Valle

Childhood best friend for the last fifteen years! The Natalies became friends in elementary school simply because they shared the same name—and honestly, it was the best decision two seven-year-olds could have made. From growing up side by side to sharing countless milestones, she has been there through every stage of life, feeling more like another sister than just a friend. She even gifted the bride her very first makeup bag, a small moment that marked years of growing up together. Incredibly funny, endlessly loyal, and a true day-one friend, it’s no surprise she’s standing beside the bride as a bridesmaid—there couldn’t be a better person to share a name or a lifetime of memories with.

Natalie Pizzuti

Childhood best friend for the last thirteen years! With her, the trio was complete—and they’ve been inseparable ever since. From childhood memories to grown-up meltdowns, she has been by the bride’s side through every season of life. She brings laughter, loyalty, and the kind of energy that naturally holds everyone together. Recently, she and her husband, Nikolas, began an exciting new chapter, and the bride and groom couldn’t be happier for them. Now living just ten minutes away, she remains a constant presence in their lives. Their family means the world to them, and having her stand beside the bride on this day is a true reflection of a friendship that’s for life.

Andrea White 

Their friendship started when she jokingly called the bride “Mom”… and then never stopped. Over the years, that playful nickname grew into one of the bride’s closest friends—built on inside jokes, mutual gym-induced suffering, and endless laughter. She is always there to offer advice, fiercely defend the bride, and bring unwavering support whenever it’s needed. A talented dancer with energy that lights up any room, she’s sure to make an impression on the dance floor. The bride is so grateful to have her by her side on this special day and all the days to come!

Sophia Sierra

What started as Chloe being the bride’s boss at work has grown into one of the bride’s closest and most cherished friendships. Over the years, Chloe has shared countless fun memories with the bride and has been part of so many important milestones for the couple—including helping plan the proposal. She is always up for a spontaneous adventure, whether it’s a last-minute outing, a fun date night, or just spending time together. Chloe’s unwavering support and genuine care for both the bride and groom make her someone they can always count on. From celebrating the big moments to simply being there through everyday life, she has proven time and again that she is a true friend in every sense of the word.

Chloe Campbell

What started with coffee runs and vent sessions turned into one of the bride’s closest and most meaningful friendships. Anna is full of wisdom, always ready with thoughtful advice, and the very best kind of hype woman. Her presence in the bride’s life has been steady, loving, and deeply encouraging. Through her kindness and faith, she played an important role in guiding the bride as she grew in her relationship with Jesus and navigated love, commitment, and the journey toward marriage. Now a wonderful mom to her beautiful baby boy, Dominic, Anna continues to lead with grace, warmth, and care. She is deeply loved and cherished, and the bride is endlessly grateful for her friendship.

Anna Crump

Older brother and one of his closest friends, he has been a steady and influential presence throughout the groom’s life. He’s always been there to offer guidance, encouragement, and honest advice—walking alongside the groom through many important milestones. From teaching him his way around the gym to sharing lessons that extend far beyond it, he has consistently led by example. His support has shaped the groom’s confidence, discipline, and character. When the bride came into the picture, he welcomed her wholeheartedly, making her feel included and truly part of the family. Having him stand beside the groom isn’t just tradition; it’s a reflection of the bond they share and the impact he has had in shaping the man that Michael is today.

Daniel Suffi 

Zach came into Natalie and Michael’s lives through working at Chick-fil-A and quickly became a steady and meaningful presence. He and his wife, Marina, served as mentors during an important season of their lives, even opening their home to Michael as a roommate. During that time, Zach offered guidance, wisdom, and encouragement that helped shape not only Michael’s personal growth, but also the foundation of Natalie and Michael’s relationship. Grounded in his Christian faith, he has walked alongside them with care and intention, making it especially meaningful that he is also officiating their wedding. They are deeply grateful to have him standing with them—and leading them—on this special day.

Zac Davis

He has been an important part of Natalie’s life for over ten years, beginning with their early days in student government, where their friendship was built through plenty of debates in high school. Over time, he became just as close with Michael, and their friendship eventually led to working together at Ritchie Bros. Loyal, dependable, and deeply loved by both Natalie and Michael, he brings his own unique energy into every room. Michael is especially grateful to have him by his side and fully expects his humor and dance moves to steal at least one moment of the night.

Jordan McDonald

Natalie and Michael met Johnson through a mutual friend and became close while working at Chick-fil-A, and from day one he fit right in. Somewhere along the way, he started calling us Mom and Dad, which stuck just as much as his place in our lives did. He shares a name with the groom (which is only confusing some of the time), is endlessly funny, incredibly dependable, and proudly the number one Orlando Magic fan. We love him dearly and couldn’t imagine celebrating this day without him by our side.

Michael Johnson

Michael and Caleb first met as kids through homeschool and were later reunited years down the road while working at Chick-fil-A. What started as homeschool buddies turned into a lifelong friendship built on shared values, good humor, and their mutual appreciation for their country-boy side. Loyal, genuine, and always good for a laugh, he’s someone we’re both grateful to have standing with us on such an important day.

Caleb Padgett

Jose met Natalie and Michael while working at Chick-fil-A and quickly became an important part of their lives. Through countless shared moments with “the boys,” he formed a strong and lasting bond with the groom—one built on loyalty, trust, and genuine friendship. Jose is the kind of person who shows up consistently, supports wholeheartedly, and brings a steady presence to every room he enters. His character, dependability, and sincere care for those around him make him an incredible friend, and we are so grateful to have him standing beside us as we celebrate this next chapter together.
