Ashley Gaytan - Matron of Honor
Ashley is my younger sister, my original and lifelong best friend. She’s the first person I call when I need reassurance, a pep talk, a good laugh, or just someone to share a little nostalgia or girl chat with. She knows how to talk me down when I’m spiraling and always knows exactly what to say to make me feel grounded again. She understands me in a way no one else does and has been by my side through every chapter of life. I couldn’t imagine this day without her next to me—just like she’s always been.

Shannon Gaytan - Best Man
Shannon isn’t just my best man—he’s the brother I never had, and now, for better or worse, he’s stuck as my brother-in-law for life. From the very beginning, he welcomed me without hesitation. He made me feel completely accepted—no need to put on a face, just be myself, and enjoy our friendship and brotherhood. That kind of openness says a lot about who he is: a true family guy, generous with his time, and always there for the people he cares about.
We come from different backgrounds, but we’ve found our rhythm—laughing over dumb jokes one minute and having real conversations the next. He’s brought both laughter and lightness into my life, and I’m thankful to learn from him as I take this next step. And hey, let’s be honest—we make a pretty sharp-looking pair of husbands. I’m proud to call him family, and I know he’s just as happy as I am. I couldn’t ask for a better best man.
