Natascha Gonzalez
Matron of Honor
Natascha and I met our 1st week of our Freshman year in high school. I didn’t know many people at the school I chose to attend, so when I met Natascha in Homeroom I knew we would quickly become one of my most cherished friends. Over the years we’ve experienced wins, losses and growing pains, yet she and I have always remained attached at the hip through it all. We joke about being soulmates, even though we all know it’s the truth. 18 years of friendship and onto forever. In the future, we plan to live on the same street and have our kids become best friends. ;) Besties for Life!
Becca Clore
Maid of Honor
As a little girl I begged my parents for a little sister. In October 1991, I was blessed with our little Halloween installation to the Clore family. Becca, my biologically built-in best friend, is my beautiful, kind, sassy little sister. She is always there no matter the circumstance. She is thoughtful and full of life. Im so lucky to have her stand by my side, where she’s been my whole life, on the most special day of my life.
Sinead O’Grady
Bridesmaid
Sinead, my lucky charm! Sinead and I met in 2014 when we had the opportunity to work for the same company in San Francisco. Sinead was the most wonderful surprise of a coworker and we quickly became the closest of friends. Sinead is one of the funniest, most sincere, kindest and loyal people in my life. She is smart, witty and charming and the most beautiful person I've ever spent time with. She fills my life with zest and excitement and I feel SO honored that she will be standing by my side on this most special day. I cannot wait for you to meet her!
Emily Zugnoni
Bridesmaid
Emily & I have been friends since 2002, our freshman year of high-school. Emily and I quickly bonded and became attached at the hip. From P.E. class to basketball, to birthday parties and matching outfits on Halloween, Emily is an integral part of my life and growing up. She is the epitome of beauty, always the life of the party and the truest of friends. She is consistent and one of the few sounding boards in my life. We will no doubt be friends forever.
Megan Gifford
Bridesmaid
The Giff! My wife for life! My concert partner and partner in crime. ;) Megan and I quickly became friends in 2002 at Emily's (another bridesmaid) 15th birthday party at Embassy Suites. While Megan and I went to different high schools, we remained in touch since that fateful day. She is actually who introduced Sam & I. We wouldn't be here without her! So when you see her at the wedding, make sure to extend your gratitude. She and I will be lifelong friends and I couldn't imagine our wedding day without her.
Katrina Horne
Bridesmaid
Katrina, the beauty! Katrina and I met in 2012 working in San Francisco. From the day we met, I knew she was someone I needed to befriend. She is glamour. She is grace. She is FUN!! Katrina has been with me through ups and downs. She has been a mentor, a partner. She has been a major support system for me and is more like a sister than a friend. I'm so thankful for this special, beautiful spirit and soul.
Lauren Aranador
Bridesmaid
Lovely Lauren! Lauren and I met when she came to work at the same company in San Francisco back in 2014. She has such a calming and even way about her, that makes me feel grounded just being in her presence. Lauren is a steadfast friend. She is there at any hour and one of the best listeners I know. She also knows how to party! She shifts energy the moment she steps into the room. She has been such a support system for me throughout the last 5 years and I couldn't be where I am without her.
Angela Wheeler
Bridesmaid
Angela, my beautiful friend. Where would I be without you? Angela and I met through Emily/Megan and quickly developed a very close friendship. Friendship with Angela was so easy. Through career changes, ups and downs, Ang was a major source of support. I think we had a year where we spent almost every weekend together? She is honest and kind, and one of the most understanding people I know. She is wise and has provided me with many advice sessions throughout the years. We celebrate each other every time we are together. I couldn't imagine my life without you.
Edward Deane
Best Man
Ed and I have known each other since freshman year of high school. Ever since I met Ed I have looked to him as the older brother I never had. There are those friendships you have that no matter how long its been, you can always pick up where you left off and for myself Mr. Dean is just that friend. From watching Ed get married (as his best man) to his beautiful wife Suddah, all the way to the birth of their first born daughter Carolyn. Ed has unknowingly given me a sense of what to strive for in life along with the best friendship a guy could ask for.
Ben Pina-Vertin
Groomsman
Ben Pina-Vertin is that one friend who you always want around. Kind, thoughtful and a wizard under the hood of a car anytime ben has always been there for me. Wether it was helping me fix my car or going camping in the woods, whatever it is were doing I know we were having a blast doing it. Ben has been a major support along with his lovely wife Danielle.
Jase Traylor
Groomsman
Jase and I met in Nashville TN during one of my trips out to visit Alexis. He had been dating one of Alexis's friends at the time and quickly be-friended me as I was the only other male in the group of 10 women. We quickly became quite good friends and the rest is history best told over an old fashion. Thanks for being part of this special day with me brother, it means the world.
Michael Benjamin
Groomsman
The photo above, describes Michael and Myself's relationship to a T. Michael and I met down in San Diego during our college years, hit it off and quickly became BFF's. Michael and I lived together for a few years and during that time we were pretty much inseparable. Loyal, honest, funny, and one of the most hardworking people I know Michael is everything you could ask for in a friend. Love ya Michael, no dolphin.....
Marty Martin
Groomsman
Mr. Marty Martin. Oh, where to begin. Marty and I have known each other for the better part of a decade now and I am blessed to call him a close friend and my brotha from another motha.... From living together down in San Diego during college, to hanging out in the Bay as Adults Marty have too many memories to count from. If anyone has supported my relationship with Alexis the most, it would be Marty. I couldn't imagine my life without Mr. Marty Martin. Thanks Marty.
Robert Fierro
Groomsman
Robert and I met while we both worked at Onfleet. Since we were the only two living in Marin at that time, we would often commute in together. During that time Robert and I grew quite close, bonding over our love of music, startups and the outdoors. Always pushing me to strive for more in life Robert is the motivational coach I never wanted but always needed. I am honored to have Mr. Fierro by my side as one of my groomsman as I start this new chapter in my life.
Zack Hamilton
Groomsman
Zack Hamilton and I met back in 2005 when we both attended boarding school in Montana. Because Zack and I arrived at the school around the same time, there was a natural camaraderie that form which remains to this very day. Zack is one of the funniest, humble, and loyal people I know. He is smart, witty and cleaver and is someone who I have been through thick and thin with. I feel honored that he will be standing by my side on this very special day. Thank you Zack.
