Vanessa is Natalie's older (and wiser) sister. She has been married to her husband Eric for 11 years and is a mom to the handsome ring bearers, Eric and Logan! Although they didn't grow up in the same house, Natalie has always been very close with Vanessa and still looks up to her in many ways. Natalie remembers always feeling so cool when she brought Vanessa around her friends... the older, beautiful, trendy sister from OC! Some of Natalie's favorite memories with Vanessa were their family vacations which included camping and boating. As they got older, they much preferred that hotel life! Vanessa is not only an amazing mom to her two boys, but the best Auntie to Karsyn. If you have not met Vanessa, or as Natalie calls her, "Ness", please introduce yourself to her at the wedding! She is a beautiful person inside and out.

Andrea is Natalie's younger sister. She is married to her husband Don and they have a fur baby named Finn! As a child, Natalie was so excited to welcome her baby sister into the family. Natalie and Andrea were very close growing up and participated in many of the same sports and activities. As a family, they spent countless days at the Canyon Lake pool and cruising around the lake on their boat and in their golf cart. Natalie has always been very protective of her little sister, maybe a little too much at times haha! Andrea is an amazing Auntie to Karsyn and it has brought them even closer as sisters. Natalie admires Andrea for her academic intelligence, hard work ethics and dedication to fitness and nutrition. Please make sure you introduce yourself to "Andrea Pandrea"!

Natalie and Shelley have been friends for over 20 years. They grew up together, worked together, and basically lived together because Natalie spent most of her time at Shelley's house. Natalie has always considered herself a part of Shelley's family. Throughout their friendship they experienced the very best times and also the very worst, bringing them closer together. When Natalie's dad passed away Shelley was the first person at her door. Shelley has always been the most caring, loyal and supportive friend. Some of Natalie's favorite memories with Shelley are river trips, concerts, lake and pool days, Vegas, driving around blasting music and most recent, raising their babies together. Shelley is a devoted wife and mother to her husband, Daniel and her two children, Carter and Rylan. If you have not met Shelley, please introduce yourself. Her laugh is contagious!

Janell is Natalie's longest friend, knowing each other since kindergarten! Born exactly a week apart and both Taurus's, Natalie and Janell are more similar than they will ever realize. They grew up together in Canyon Lake and shared many of the same classrooms and friends. Natalie, Janell and Shelley always called themselves "The Tripod" because the 3 of them were inseparable at times. In 2013, Natalie and Janell made a spontaneous decision to move to Orange County together where they spent the next few years making unforgettable memories. The best thing they ever did was move to a new city and experience life together. Everyone who know Natalie and Janell know they love like sisters. Janell is engaged to her fiancé, Tyler and they have a fur baby named Larry. If you have not already, please make sure to meet Janell (she is also the funniest friend)!

Natalie and Kim met in 2007 when they were Charger Girls together and have remained close friends ever since! After college, Kim moved back to Newport Beach where Natalie would visit her often. Some of Natalie's favorite memories with Kim include their cheerleading days in San Diego, Vegas trips, Espresso martinis at the Cannery, Newport days out on the water, long walks on the boardwalk and the OC Fair. Natalie played a big part in setting up Kim with her husband Mark. Years later, the favor was returned when Kim setup Natalie and Chris! Something they will always be grateful for. Kim has always been a supportive friend and someone Natalie could go to for anything. Kim is an amazing wife and mom to her husband, Mark and her two daughters, London and Capri. Please make sure you introduce yourself to Kim. I promise you will fall in love with her kind soul!

Eric & Logan are Natalie's nephews who she has always loved like her own. Eric will share with you how much he loves Minecraft and Logan will tell you all about his Magnatiles and Hot Wheel cars. Like their Auntie Natalie, they also love vacationing in Mexico! These handsome boys are so excited to be apart of the wedding. We can't wait to watch them walk down the aisle and tear up the dance floor!

The absolute love of Chris and Natalie's life, their daughter Karsyn! She is the happiest, cutest, funniest baby ever and they cannot wait for everyone to meet her. She will be walking just in time for the wedding and will be the most perfect flower girl. Karsyn loves people and will probably give you a smile or wave while walking down the aisle!

Bryan and Chris have been friends for over a decade. They met at a bar on the water called Woody’s where he tried to walk on Chris’ boat and was promptly denied because of boating law #1 – No random guys allowed. Yet in only a few days they became the best of friends. While Bryan is a phenomenal father, Chris would be remiss to not mention his 2nd most impressive life skill - He is a consummate professional when it comes to dressing like he is boating 24/7 – even when he is not. Bryan will rarely will be spotted not wearing Sperry shoes and a nautical themed collared t-shirt - It’s amazing.

Tyler and Chris have been friends for well over 30 years. They played sports together their entire lives. Always wanting to chart their own paths (and mess around), they somehow convinced Newport Harbor High School to allow them to start a Senior Lacrosse Team even though they had never played the sport. The problem was, no other local schools had a Senior Team, so they were only able to play JV Teams and seasoned middle schoolers. Carnage ensued; it was legendary.

Like Bryan, David also met Chris while on the water Duffying around and having fun in Newport Beach. They both had the same immediate gut reaction after meeting each other: “Wow, that guy was so annoying!” Yet weeks later they both became great friends. Chris always says 2 things about David: His life advice had a huge impact on where Chris is today. And that when parking a Duffy no one can terrorize passengers more, while somehow never crashing and making it look like he had planned it that way the entire time.

While Chris has only known Marcus for about 3 years, he considers him a lifelong friend. A seasoned and frankly “too perfect” father of 2, Marcus has been there for Chris when he needed that Dad advice only a pro can dole out. Chris will admit he’s a better person because of his friendship with Marcus. Were he to ever take up writing self-help books on fatherhood he would become a billionaire. All the wives would buy his book to give to their husbands who unfortunately would never read it because they would feel too inferior.

Having known PJ for over a decade, Chris will attest to his friendship and wisdom playing a huge role shaping in his life. PJ is the type of person you can always count on, that will constantly go out of his way to make sure everyone is taken care of. Among his many admirable qualities, such as also being a great father of 2, there is one thing you should beware of: Never bring up Tesla’s being bad cars or iPhones being superior to Androids, because you will soon be educated, over hours, on why that’s not the case.

Not only is Marcus a Groomsmen, but we also asked him to marry us! We know he will be the perfect balance of funny and sentimental.
