Kaitlyn, but as Katie as Sarah refers to her as because she couldn't pronounce Kaitlyn's name as a baby. Katie is Sarah's taller, but younger sister. Kaitlyn is very excited to be apart of this wedding journey with her one sister and her new brother in law. Sarah and Kaitlyn have gotten very close as they have gotten older and talk almost weekly even though they live on opposite coast. If you ask their parents they were not always the best of friends back in the day as Katie would get their little brothers to attack Sarah, and if you know their brother's Hunter and Dylan it was wild. Katie has always been there for Sarah and Sarah the same for Katie they have and always will have each others back's.
Dylan Helgren - Best Man
Dylan (Pictured above with Man Fries) is the fifth youngest of Tyler's six brothers. Tyler and Dylan have always been close despite their 6 year age difference. Dylan would often hang out with Tyler, Kyle and friends, Thomas and Dulio when Tyler was in high school. One of Tyler's favorite memories of this time is Thomas frequently forgetting that Dylan was six years younger than them and emphasizing Dylan's maturity level at ten years old.
Tyler and Dylan loved playing baseball growing up and still root for the Dodgers. They have a passion for cars, whether they're driving, fixing, or talking about them. Kyle remarked, "Those two could spend hours talking about cars in their matching mechanic suits." Surfing and golfing also top their to-do lists when they visit one and other. Tyler was privileged to be by Dylan's side when he tackled the Man Fries (Pictured Above) and he is excited to have Dylan by his side on this equally important day.
Gaby Zacuto - Bridesmaid
Gibby, Sister from another mister, g- unit. Sarah met Gaby when they were in the 6th grade in Mrs. Porter. English class. They ended up being assigned in a group project together, and another girl in the group was saying mean things about Sarah and Gaby stood up for her and this is where their friendship began. Gaby and Sarah would always try to get a class together in middle and highschool, but if not they would make sure to hang out on the weekends. Gaby even got Sarah to try softball, which lets just say Sarah failed. Then they went to high school and picked the same class of Sport's Medicine, which was when both of them determined they had passions for helping people. It turned out through this same class they would both find that they wanted to become PT's. Both Sarah and Gaby went onto become Doctor's of Physical therapy. Even though Gaby and Sarah went to different undergraduate and graduates schools very far away from each other their friendship has stayed as strong as it did back in middle school. No matter what Gaby and Sarah make sure to call, FaceTime or visit each other to make sure they have never not talked for too long. Sistas fo life
Kyle Helgren - Best Man
Kyle is the oldest of Tyler's six brothers. One of their mom's funniest memories of the two of them, was when they collided after running through the house leaving Kyle with a scar on his forehead inflicted by Tyler's braces. Now in this day, Tyler and Kyle share a love for both watching and quoting Star War, The Simpsons and countless movies and shows together. Kyle, of course, is the expert in the quoting department with his seemingly perfect ability to recall anything funny he's ever heard and deliver it in character. Tyler could not imagine getting married without his brother Kyle by his side.
Ali Barisone - Bridesmaid
Alijandra !! Ali and Sarah met right before their freshman year of college at Sonoma State University. Back in the day there was a Facebook group for the freshman class of Sonoma to be able to meet people and somehow Ali and Sarah figured out that they were basically neighbors as Sarah lived in Agoura and Ali lived in Oak Park and these cities are basically right next to each other. So although they had already submitted their housing for freshman year they tired to find a way to be roommates. It ended up to not work out, but luckily they were in walking distance from each others dorms. Then they got lucky enough to become sorority sister in Phi Sigma Sigma. They would always hang out no matter if it be sorority functions or just to chill. They did end up becoming roommates Sophomore and Senior year of college. Even after they have graduated and did not live in the same city or stated they try to make sure they keep in touch with each other and they have always agreed that they will always be the best of friends no matter how long they do not talk.

Gaby, Julia and Sarah became little group especially after softball which Julia was also on their team. Julia and Sarah have always stayed in contact since high school and Sarah was able to be apart of Julia's wedding back in 2019 in Pasadena where now Sarah and Tyler live.

Mama Kat, Dr. Kat, and the best Doctor you will ever meet. Kat and Sarah met their first weeks on DPT school and medical school. They both were attending University of South Florida for their separate programs, but luckily for them they were under the Same College of Medicine. Even in more luck Kat and Sarah got put into this small group class to work on inter-professionalism and this is where their friendship flourished. There was maybe 8 people in the group and Kat and Sarah got close on day 1 because they were both very extroverted. Although in their remaining years they were not in class together anymore they always made sure to hang out on the small chances they had time from not studying their curriculums. Now they are both Doctor's in each of their own profession and they live far apart, but they still make sure to talk and visit each other. Dr. Kat/ Mamma Kat is Sarah's primary doctor that Sarah text or calls for all her medical concerns, Tyler can even vouch for this lol!
