A devoted wife to her husband Chris and an incredible mother to her “gingey babes,” Mickey and Aly. Betty is also a talented hair stylist and business owner in Westlake Village in Cali. She is a shoulder to lean on, an ear to vent to, life of the party, and a one of a kind sister. Danielle considers herself blessed and honored to have Betty by her side on this special day.
Danielle first met Tracy in 2010 on a double date with their boyfriends on the way to a Magic game.

Tracy is a loving, thoughtful, supportive and care-free Mom-to-be. Tracy and her husband Aitor feel more like siblings to Jon and Danielle and not just really good friends. As the Narvaez' are beginning their family in 2018, there are sure to be more stories and good times ahead!
