Kendra Smith - Matron of Honor
Hi, I'm Kendra, the Matron of Honor. Knowing Mikaela has truly been such a gift. We first met working together in Laguna Beach, and I will never forget when our coworkers joked, "Your twin is coming up the stairs." From that moment, we clicked instantly. I still remember us on the starimaster at the gym, spilling out life stories and realizing how identical they were. I knew then I had found my bestie. Since that day, our bond has only grown stronger. I am so grateful for all of the years of friendship we've shared (and all of the ones to come!). I couldn't be more excited to stand by her side and celebrate this beautiful new chapter in her life. Cheers to Mikaela and Bryson.

Hi. I'm Alyssa! Mikaela and I met in elementary school. She's my longest and closest friend (over 20 years, crazy!!!). We've been through it all & you have NO IDEA how much it means to be able to stand with her on her wedding day while she marries a man who is so worthy of her love.

Mikaela and I first met in high school. Our friendship blossomed years later thru Surf Rodeo and then Arbonne and our friendship quickly grew through countless memories and adventures, into what felt more like a sister-type relationship. I’ve always been one of Mikaela’s biggest cheerleaders and am so excited to cheer her on thru this next chapter in life— marriage. I am so honored to stand by Mikaela’s side on her special day!

Amber Horton - Bridesmaid
Hi I’m Amber, where do I start?! Mikaela and I met in Costa Mesa. I immediately fell in love with her and her beautiful self from the start and had that “ Did we just become best friends” moment. Anytime we are together it’s the most amazing memories. Anytime I’m with her we are constantly laughing where your cheeks hurt. Her heart is pure GOLD! I can’t wait to be there and watch you marry your dream guy! Cheers to a lifetime of love and happiness.
Maggy Elsousou - Bridesmaid
Mikaela and I have been friends for five years now, and what makes our friendship so special is the mix of belly laughter, deep conversations, and genuine respect we have for one another. She’s one of those rare people who makes you feel seen, supported, and completely yourself. I remember being there the night she met Bryson- in true Mikaela confidence she shot him a sultry lil smile and naturally, that man was hooked for life! Watching their love unfold from that moment to now has been such a gift, and I’m beyond honored to stand by her side as she marries her dream man.
Jacob "Zo" Alonzo - Best Man
Bryson and I met in kindergarten in Ms. McLaughlin’s class. He was my first friend and my best friend, we’ve played baseball together and against each other our whole life. I’m grateful to have had him in my life for 25 years, and I can’t wait for our kids to grow up together.
Adisson Pelupessy - Groomsman
I met Bwall back in high school. He basically followed me around until I finally let him into our friend group — and honestly, the rest is history. We played JUCO ball together and even went to college together in Kentucky. He’s like the little brother I never asked for, but wouldn’t trade for anything. Can’t wait to celebrate the big night!
Dylan "DY" Coleman - Groomsman
When I first met BWall, he was actually friends with my little brother — so I’ve always seen him as my little bro too. We’ve been through a lot of life together, from me teaching him how to light a BBQ and cook his first tri-tip, to now celebrating his marriage. Can’t wait to celebrate you guys!
Jesse Montanez - Groomsman
I actually hated Bryson when I met him... He wouldn’t let me copy his math homework. Then I found out we were about to be on the same football team and had mutual friends. Got drunk together once, and it's been history ever since!
Tony Fonzo - Groomsman
What started as casual hangouts during baseball workouts in high school quickly turned into a friendship that felt like family. From long summer days in 2016 spent in the cages, the gym, and just kicking it with the crew, the “day ones” really came together. From Ventura College to chasing our baseball dreams across the country, we’ve truly done it all—and wouldn’t change a thing about the journey.
Ethan Wallet - Groomsman
"Being the youngest of the cousins, I have had the privilege of looking up to so many outstanding people in the family. With all of the great examples to follow, there are very few that I look up to more than B. Since day one, he has always been the big brother for me that I always wanted. He is THE MAN!! I cannot wait to celebrate with him on his big night.
Chris "Tat" Tatigue - Groomsman
I first met bwall when we played against each other in JUCO. Thought he was just a big dude who couldn’t hit. Fast forward to being teammates in Kentucky for college ball, my thoughts were still the same. Realized quickly that regardless of his lack of athleticism he was my guy and I’d do anything for him. Pumped for him to finally get married so my kids can have friends.
