Tania is Stephanie’s sister. While Stephanie was in school, she visited Tania and her husband Jorge wherever they lived - Bolivia, Brazil, and U.S. - and Tania loved having her company. They sneaked in horror movies once the babies were asleep, bonded over Christmas stocking, and shared a passion for creative projects. Those visits helped Stephanie sharpen her English and discover a love of crafting. Open to listen and always willing to help, Tania is the perfect Matron of Honor.

Austin is Craig’s best friend and the person Craig calls first for good news or bad. Their friendship started years ago and quickly became constant - countless road trips, late-night talks, and a shared love of cars that still gets teased: they still joke about Craig saying Austin should’ve gotten a Camaro instead of a Mustang. Warm, loyal, and always up for a laugh, Austin’s presence makes the day feel complete.

Gisela is Stephanie’s sister. Fiercely protective and deeply caring, she’s always the first to offer help and looks out for everyone’s well‑being. She can drive us a little crazy sometimes but her intensity comes from love and we can always count on her. She’s quick to smile, makes friends wherever she goes, and is the family’s unofficial photographer, documenting moments big and small - be ready to smile if you are standing next to her!

Danny is Craig’s little brother and lifelong partner in mischief. From shared childhood secrets and broken lamps to late‑night Xbox matches (and the occasional missing game disc), Danny has always been by Craig’s side. Craig and Stephanie loved cheering Xavier on during East Coast games and spending extra time with Danny and his wife, Peyton. Reliable, funny, and fiercely loyal, he’s being promoted from annoying sibling to VIP groomsman.

Thalía met Stephanie when she moved to Mexico and immediately took her under her wing—steering her away from a risky apartment and teaching her how to use the metro. She was the first to notice the new sparkle in Stephanie’s eyes after the Houston trip when she met Craig. Generous and welcoming, Thalía hosted Stephanie and Craig during their 2023 trip to Mexico for a Taylor Swift concert and has been a constant source of support and joy.

Will met Craig through his now‑wife, Kendall, and quickly became part of their close‑knit friend group. Always just a phone call away, Will is a loyal friend and a patient listener; they can spend hours excitedly talking about IT like kids with a new toy. Bonding over trips to youth conferences, from Miami Beach parties to late‑night Chicago hot dog runs, those adventures created the kind of friendship Craig truly treasures.

Paola began as Stephanie’s boss and quickly became a loyal friend. They bonded over late nights working on controls and celebratory McDonald’s runs. When Paola moved to Canada, Stephanie cheered her on for chasing her dreams, and their friendship stayed strong through regular video calls and shared life updates. A thoughtful listener who never judges, Paola always looks on the bright side and brings steady support to Stephanie’s life.

Craig met Kenton in 2018 when Kenton managed the property where Craig’s storage unit was. Their first interaction was Craig bringing Kenton a bottle of Jack Daniel’s to thank him for letting Craig stay past closing time to work on his 4Runner in the unit. That act of gratitude turned into friendship. Kenton’s steady, down-to-earth presence and easy humor have made him a trusted friend and a valued groomsman.
