Wedding Party
Joselyn Gomez-Malagon
Maid of Honor
My little sister. The one person that has been through it all with me since the very beginning. She is full of passion for those she cares about and that never goes unnoticed. The one person that always claimed the title "Maid of Honor", even though I always said I was not getting married lol. My forever best friend that was specially born for me! She might be my walking headache sometimes but I could not imagine life without her. Let alone my special day. <3
Thelma Gomez
Bridesmaid
My baby sister that I consider my first child. She is my stubborn earth sign that keeps me up to date and relevant. She is the version of me if social anxiety was not a thing. Watching our friendship grow has been a privilege in itself. Very grateful to have someone like her by my side.
Lina Vang
Bridesmaid
My bonus sister. Lina has come to be one of the closest people to me. She is full of radiating energy but also so caring. The helping hand that has helped me stay afloat in many situations. She has become one of my best friends and the best big sister I could ask for. Someone I would never question to be right by my side on this special day. So very lucky to have her!
Evelyn Vang
Bridesmaid
Sweet Eve, the calm in the storm. She radiates kindness with everything she does. Someone that remembers every detail and conversation we have ever had. I am so grateful to call her my future sister. She is someone I know will always make me laugh despite the circumstances. Looking forward to having her by my side on my special day.
Rhiannon Boyens-Luke
Bridesmaid
My one true friend that has stuck around despite everything. Rhiannon and I met in middle school cementing our friendship over a Shakespeare play. She is a friend everyone deserves to have at least once in their lifetime. Even though we do not speak every single day I know she would always be there for me no matter what. Fate has kept her in my life and for that I am more than grateful. Her friendship is a blessing.
Nitro Vang
Best Man
There are 10 of us siblings. Only two boys. Age wise, we’re separated by 11 years. This combination of 8 sisters and a decade separating us has led to Nitro being a fusion of many things beyond being my brother: a role model, a friend, and a father. From his youth, his marriage, and to him actually becoming a father, that time has allowed me to observe Nitro become his own man and in turn shape who I am. I wouldn’t be who I am without him.
Ricky Vang
Groomsman
I remember meeting Ricky. It was at church. He was dressed like a Target worker: red shirt, tan khakis, spiked up hair, looked like a chipmunk. I don't remember how but we ended up throwing a football in the backyard. I probably thought, "yeah he's okay". Little did I know, 15ish so years later and this little red shirt kid would be there for the entire ride. One of my closest friends for years, all for us to recently find out that we're related. Too good. Reliable, funny, too many dogs.
Javon Baccam
Groomsman
Javon is my brother from another mother. Every meaningful milestone, every tragedy, every step of the way he’s been alongside me. Even though his car broke down every other week in high school, he would still give us a ride. Even though he skipped school he would still give us rides! (actually happened). On a serious note, Javon is the model of authenticity. His circumstances never define his character.
Jaiden Haines
Groomsman
I met Jaiden in middle school. We had a brief two years together before we went off to our separate high schools, but those two years were enough to secure the future. Beyond having the exact same trivial interests, Jaiden has been a constant good for me in the gravity of life. He’ll always meet you where you’re at. The worst part about Jaiden is that we’ve always been separated by distance. That'll change on this day brother!
Andrew Reantazo
Groomsman
At the top of my head, this guy–good or bad–always has something going on in his life that will entertain me. Never a doubt. He’s the kind of guy that will lie about running through fire with you and end up doing it anyway. Through everyday life, you probably won’t hear anything too profound from the guy. Hardly takes himself seriously, always cracking jokes. But when you’re in the chaos, in the fire, Andrew will be there.
Susana "Nern"
Flower Girl
There's only been one lingering presence more eager for this wedding than Adamary and I... Susana. She is Susana to the world, but "Nernie" to me, she is my wonderful bundle of joy that I get to call my niece. She lives across the world and has still been keeping tabs on us, a true testament of her character. One of the only real princesses I've ever met. Nernie I promise you will love your dress!
GoGo
Ring Bearer
One of many many nephews. His legal name is "Anders" but around the time he began to talk, he named himself "GoGo" and it stuck. GoGo spoke only in third person for the longest time. GoGo kick. GoGo eat. GoGo car. He is actually the most unique personality I have ever seen in a child. I told him he was our ring bearer at the wedding, in response he told me he's gonna be the "bad boy" instead. That is GoGo for you. Even then, I'm absolutely sure he'll be on his best behavior.
