Our Three Best Men & Three Maids of Honor

They say good things come in threes, so we’re doubling down! Because we’re anything but traditional, we’ve asked our three Best Men and three Maids of Honor to stand by our side. These six people represent our past, our present, and our future, and we couldn't imagine starting our next chapter without the whole crew.

Tali and I have been an inseparable duo since our days at Sandia High School. We’ve evolved from the teenagers who may or may not have skipped a few classes together into the women we are today, growing side-by-side through every season of life. Tali is the kind of friend who shows up at your door with flowers before you even have to ask for help—a steady presence who stood by me during my hardest days. She is the person I can be 100% myself with, knowing I’m loved through the good, the bad, and everything in between. Even if weeks go by without a call, we always pick up exactly where we left off. I’m so honored to have my longest friend and "person" standing right by my side.

I truly wouldn't have survived nursing school without these two by my side. From studying on the porch until 4:00 AM (to the point of hallucinating floating cotton in the air!) to celebrating our wins at wine festivals, Marissa and Vanessa have been my absolute rocks. I have always admired Marissa’s incredible ability to talk to anyone and make them feel instantly seen and comfortable. Likewise, I lean so much on Vanessa’s fierce heart and her "tell it like it is" honesty—qualities I’ve always looked up to in both of them. Our lives have changed a lot since those grueling days in school, but my love and gratitude for them remain exactly the same. I am so lucky to have this powerhouse duo standing with me as I say "I do."

One of the first times Ernest went to Old Town San Diego, he knew Amanda would love this shop. So he made her a black cat shaped candle! Ever since this has been a staple, Amanda loves the shower steamers and bath salts!
