Meet Our Wedding Party
Every great love story has an amazing supporting cast, and ours is no exception. These are the friends and family who have been there through the big moments, the little moments, and everything in between. They have celebrated our milestones, kept us laughing, offered unwavering love and support, and helped shape our story in countless ways. Many of them have seen multiple versions of ourselves throughout our lives, and we feel incredibly lucky to have our favorite people standing by our side, and we can't wait for you to meet the wonderful people who mean so much to us.

Lissan (pronounced like Nissan but with a L) is one of my (Krista) oldest friends, and we have been BFFs since 8th grade. We grew up together and have seen each other through almost every high and low in life (especially the milestones). Lissan is someone who has always been there for me, and she is basically family. I feel incredibly lucky to have grown up alongside her. Lissan is also a foodie and loves dogs more than people.

Angie is one of my most loyal friends and has shown up for me throughout many milestones. We met in church and bonded over music and coffee. We have been to many concerts and festivals together, she even waited almost 4 hours with me to be front row to J.Cole’s set. Angie is my travel friend and someone I love traveling with. She loves the Dodgers and Bad Bunny, is the sweetest person you will ever meet. Oh and she loves dogs too.

Amanda is one of my best friends and we met in grad school at Pepperdine University. Amanda was my first roommate and we got through our master’s/mid 20s together. Amanda has seen my relationship with Jared from the talking stage until now, and Jared actually ended up moving in with us in NoHo. Amanda is one of the most selfless people I know, she truly understands me and is the kindest person you will ever meet. I am definitely blessed to have her in my life.

Danielle or should I say Dr. Danielle Gomez, is a person who truly knows the authentic adult me. We met at Antioch University in 2022 and completed our PhDs together. She was my rock throughout the program and now just in life in general. She is someone I know I can text every day and randomly, and she understands how to emotionally support me (she’s a therapist go figure lol). I am so grateful to have met her. She is a momma of 3 and is a therapist/supervisor/professor.

Jamil and I (Jared) met in 3rd grade on a basketball team. We became quick friends and our Dads ended up coaching the team. His parents lived close to mine and we would end up walking to eachothers houses all the time to hang out. Since then we formed two thirds of the rap group the Young Wunz with Mike, attended undergrad together while living in the same apartment, and supporting eachother thoughout the years. Go follow Jamil’s buisness @raisedroots (Instagram) where he grows his own produce and makes his probiotic hot sauce.

Mike and I met around 5th grade when he and his Dad moved across the street from my parents’ house. Naturally, we decided to ding dong ditch his house and quickly he was added to the group. He in addition to Jamil were in the rap group the Young Wunz with me and we have made over 100 songs together. Growing up we were an inseperable group, and since Mike was the oldest he was the first to drive, go to college, and get an apartment which oppend up a pleathora of adventures and hijinks. Mike always wanted to move to San Francisco and have the family life and now he’s doing just that!
