Marisa is not just the bride's stepmom—she’s a true mom in every sense of the word. She’s smart, kind, and an absolute badass who’s taught Caty to be tough, independent, and always stand her ground. A true jack of all trades, she’s the kind of woman who’s always there for the ones she loves, no matter what. Over the years, Caty has come to see her as one of her soulmates in life, someone who’s shaped her into the woman she is today. Having her by our side today means the world, and we are beyond grateful to call her family.

Meet Eric, the best man and Phillip’s friend for 22 years. From childhood shenanigans to working together, Eric and Phillip have been through it all. When he’s not rooting for Barcelona or Club America, he’s with his amazing girlfriend Janely, and their adorable Frenchie, Miso—talk about a recipe for happiness! Eric’s patience, kindness, and trust are what make him an amazing person. We’re lucky to have him by our side for our wedding day!

From teaching Caty how to fix cars to "patiently" showing her how to drive, her dad has been there for every milestone, big and small. When she was a kid, they were inseparable—whether they were working on a project together, sharing a laugh, or just spending time side by side. He’s shown her what it means to be a hard worker, to never back down from a challenge, and most importantly, to be independent. His love, wisdom, and support have shaped the person she is today, and she feels incredibly blessed to walk down the aisle with him by her side.

Ruth is the kind of person who gives everything she has, including the shirt off her back, for the people she loves. A sweet, patient, and incredibly selfless woman, she raised two beautiful kids as a single mother, teaching them the true meaning of love, sacrifice, and strength. Her unwavering devotion to her family is unmatched, and she would do absolutely anything for her children. We’re beyond grateful to have her as part of this special day, and we are both so lucky to have her in our lives

Ashley and Caty became best friends after they started working together as ER techs. What began as a job partnership quickly turned into an unbreakable bond, filled with laughter, shared stress, and countless memorable moments. Now an incredible nurse, Ashley’s kindness, intelligence, and humor continue to make her someone you can always rely on. She’s the friend who knows just how to lift you up, whether it’s with a heartfelt conversation or a well-timed joke. We’re so lucky to have her standing with us today!

Christian has been a childhood friend of Phillip for as long as they can remember, and in that time, he’s proven that he’s always there when it counts—whether it's lending an ear, cracking a joke, or getting the dance floor really moving. With his silly nature, he’s the guy you can count on to keep the party going and the good vibes flowing. We’re lucky to have him standing with us today, and even luckier that he’s still around to witness all the ridiculousness that comes with this day.

Camille and Caty met while working as ER techs, and from that day on, they’ve been inseparable best friends. Camille’s not only one of the smartest people you’ll ever meet (she’s a science teacher after all), but she’s also an incredible runner and a dedicated running coach. Whether she's pacing someone to their personal best or loving on animals (she’s a true animal lover at heart), Camille approaches everything with passion, intelligence, and a whole lot of heart. She’s been an amazing friend to Caty through the highs, the lows, and every mile in between. We’re so lucky to have her standing by our side today!

Jimmy is not only Phillip’s cousin, but also one of his closest friends. With a heart of gold, a sense of humor that can light up any room, and an unbeatable love for his kids (he’s an incredible girl dad), he’s the kind of guy who’s always there when you need him. Despite the fact that the whole family bleeds Lakers purple and gold, Jimmy proudly represents the OKC Thunder like a true fan, and we love him for it (even if we don’t always understand it). We are lucky to have him standing with us today, and we’re even luckier to have him as part of the family!

We’re beyond lucky to have our dear friend Andrew officiating our wedding. Andrew isn’t just the groom’s childhood friend; he’s also become one of the bride’s closest friends over the years. Known for his sharp wit, incredible cooking skills (seriously, if you’ve never had one of his meals, you’re missing out), and endless love for his family. We’re so grateful to have him by our side today, helping us mark the beginning of this next chapter of our lives with his kindness, laughter, and outstanding officiating skills.
