I just want to take a moment to introduce the people who are helping us celebrate our wedding in a very special way, our wedding party. Although I could go on and on about each one of these people, I will keep it short and sweet.
Officiant:
Mason, a friend of ours and a former coworker of Paul's at the police department. (Thank you internet for allowing our friends to become ordained so that we may have them marry us!)
Maid of Honor:
Shelby, friends since kindergarten. 20 years of friendship and counting...
Best Man:
Brandon, friends and co-workers at the department. Soon to be partners again in investigations.
(the following are in no particular order)
Bridesmaids:
Jenna, friends since my sophomore year of high school.
Amaya, friends through friends. Always a wonderful way to have amazing people come into your life.
Kira, former co-worker and friends for almost 5 years.
Elena, we have gone to school together since 7th grade, and have become close friends over the past 3 years.
Groomsmen:
Jose, friend and former co-worker. Part of the Costco crew!
Efraim, friend. Once upon a time, co-workers at Costco. Crossed paths again at the police academy and now work for the same department!
Cliff, friend, and like Jose, part of the Costco crew!
Luis, like Cliff and Jose, all part of the Costco crew, and remained good friends for many, many years.
Its amazing how people come into your life, and those who stay and those who go. We are both so lucky to have so many amazing people in our lives, and wonderful people who we can say are true friends. Those friendships stand the test of time.
