How We Met
Rosali and Adrian have seen each other around at several community events growing up. It wasn’t until May of 2015 while volunteering at a weekend youth retreat that Rosali captured Adrian’s attention. So much so, that he mustered up some courage and asked for her number right before she was about to drive home. At first, she was flattered by his approach but was quickly turned off once he explained that he was a knife salesman and was only seeking to gain more contacts to grow his clientele. Little did she know she was going to gain a whole lot more than just some kitchen cutlery. They met up for a few hikes, as they both love spending time in nature, and the rest was history. Rosali and Adrian live just a few towns away. The 20-minute commute from Chicopee to Westfield felt endless as the years went by. After graduating college, Rosali and Adrian spent some time traveling and exploring different countries. One of their fondest memories was flying in a hot air balloon overlooking the hills and valleys of Cappadocia. Their joy for traveling can be equally matched by spending time together with a bowl of ice cream in hand. Adrian brought Rosali to a Tiny Luxury Cabin deep in the woods of southern Vermont for their 7-year anniversary. This was no ordinary cabin, it was filled with rose pedals, lights, and candles that surrounded them. Hundreds of photos of memories they’ve shared were found in every nook and cranny. Could this be the moment that they had dreamt of? As their song played in the background, Adrian took a knee and a new chapter of their lives unfolded. We are so excited for you to join us as we say "I do" at our wedding in September of 2024. See you soon!
Wedding Party
Amadis & Danny
Matron of Honor & Groomsman
It is no surprise that my older sister Amadis will be standing beside me on my big day. She has been undoubtedly one of Gods greatest gifts to me. She has had my back ever since we were young little rascals driving our parents crazy. She is definitely the "life of the party" and I would describe her life motto as "have fun or leave" so don't let her catch you looking bored or she will change that very quickly! You can find her singing at the top of her lungs to any song by the incredible Celine Dion herself or can find her organizing things just for fun. She has seen and supported me at my best and has comforted me at my worst. It is an honor to share this special day with her. My brother-in-law Danny is the greatest hype man ever. He has been around my family and I for a very long time and it is only fitting that he joins us for our big day. He is truly one of the kindest, free-spirited, calm, cool, and collected people that I have ever met. He is always down to have a good time and start good conversations. He will motivate you to be your best self and challange you to not hold back on your goals and dreams. Not to mention he is a music encyclopedia and I can guarantee you that he will know the lyrics to almost any song there is - from Earth, Wind, and Fire to Ed Sheerhan. If you need a trivia partner, he is your guy.
Yezi & Daniel
Best Man & Bridesmaid
Daniel. Best Man. Oldest brother. If it wasn't for him letting mom and pops know that he wanted a younger brother, I probably would not be here today. He fits the perfect mold for what represents a best man. He is protective, wise, and down to earth. Not to mention, he is the greatest barber one can find -- shoutout to The Den Barber co. Yezi is the sister I never had. She has been a part of many milestones in my life and it's only right to have her by our side on our greatest day. If you need advice on how to make the perfect charcuterie board, she is the woman to call as she is a charcuterie extraordinaire. Yezi was even there the first time I went in to kiss my soon-to-be wife. Her ability to bring joy, humor, and laughter to our lives has truly been a blessing.
Christian
Best Man
Younger brother and best man. It would be impossible to not have him as my best man, sorry... best men at this point. We've shared so many great moments growing up. Whether it be riding the bus together to school, or going to each others sports events and cheering each other on. At first we all thought that he would make it far with his forever lost Vine Videos, but has become an expert in carpentry and in business before our eyes.
Carina & Gabi
Bridesmaid & Groomsman
I would argue that Carina and I are more than just cousins but more like soul-sisters. We have gone through life together and have shared some of the funniest, wildest, and histerical memories throughout our upbringing and throughout life really. She is a true comedian without even trying to be and a woman with many talents. You can find her doing arts and crafts, baking delicious desserts, singing, and tapping into her mixologist side -- best espresso martini's around! I can't wait to have her by our side on our wedding day. There is hardly a moment where you can't find Gabi with a guitar and microphone in hand. He is comfortable taking the reigns on DJ'ing and getting the party started as music runs in his blood. Not only is he a great friend but man can he cook up a delicious puerto rican dish that is too good to pass up!
Nadine
Bridesmaid
My childhood friend Nadine could become friends with anyone including a mouse because of their shared love for cheese! Her contagious laugh, kind-heart, and positive personality will leave an unforgettable impression on anyone she has the pleasure of meeting. This incredible and busy mom of 3 will always make time for those she loves. Whether it be a quick phone call to check in, or a simple text letting me know that she is thinking and praying for me, she is truly such a gift. We have shared so many incredible moments together throughout our lives and it means the world that she will play an important role as one of my bridesmaids on our special day!
Maddy & Gabriel
Bridesmaid & Groomsman
Maddy and I met shortly after high school and were introduced by my cousin Carina. It is always a great adventure with Maddy. She can make running errands, doing chores, or simply sitting in a car parking lot one of the best times you will ever have. We have shared more laughs than I can keep track of. Never tell Maddy that she can't do something because she can easily prove you wrong! She is driven, hard-working, and intelligent. I am so happy to have her by my side on our big day. I have always looked up to my older brother Gabriel. He inspired my interest in musical instruments and singing. I remember the good ole days when you could hear him playing the trumpet from all the way down the street. He is naturally talented at playing guitar, piano and is also an incredible song-writer. He truly is one-of-a-kind. Although him and I grew up picking on each other, he has always been there to help pick me up when things get tough. I'm very fortunate that not only do I get to call you my brother but a friend as well.
Adianez
Bridesmaid
Adianez is the ultimate hype-woman of a cousin. She makes any family get together a blast! She is someone who can always match your energy and teach you something new about yourself that you have not yet discovered. A woman of her caliber is something that you don't run into everyday. Adianez is always down for a great time. She will break out in a dance or in a song and can flip your frown upside down! Don't let her outgoing and vivacious personality fool you. Her empathetic heart and her love for helping others is unmatched. I'm thrilled to have her by my side to celebrate this milestone with us.
Isac
Groomsman
Everyone meet Isac, my funny and loving younger brother. Don't let his quiet and shy personality deceive you. He'll surprise you with his swag and can make anyone feel special. He is truly a stand-up kind of guy with a heart of gold. When it comes to making the most out of any situation, Isac has cracked the code. Can't wait to have you by our side little bro!
Oaklynn & Zion
Flower Girl & Ring Bearer
My neice and nephew Oaklynn and Zion bring so much joy and laughter to our lives! They will always keep you on your toes and feeling little again. Zion loves sports, board games, and video games. He may be young but if he challenges you to play any of these, I can 100% guarantee that he won't take it easy on you and will most likely win. Oaklynn's awesome imagination will transport you to an entirely different world. She will quickly correct you if you go off her script! She loves dinasours and can turn anything into a song! These two cuties make Adrian and I excited for parenthood someday.
Father Yerick
Officiant (Priest)
Yerick, my oldest brother with arguably the best beard I've seen, holds a special place in my heart. My brother and I have a 13 year age difference and growing up, he naturally acted like a dad instead of a brother. When he would tell me to do something, I would sometimes respond with resistence -- "No, you're not my dad!"... little did I know I would one day refer to him as "Father Yerick", talk about irony! He has embraced his call to priesthood at an early age. His love and devotion to God is beautiful to witness. He has always inspired me to be the best version of myself that I can be. Yerick is very gifted, when he is not fullfilling his priestly duties, you can find him in the mountains as he loves to hike and spend time in nature. Adrian and I are extremely blessed to have you marry us. It is with great emotion and honor to have you take part in our special day in such an immense way!
Yolanda & Osvaldo
Mother and Father of the Bride
Mami, the time is finally here and I'm not sure who is more excited... me or my mom! My mother Yolanda has mastered taking "selfies" so don't be alarmed if she approaches you with her cell phone in one hand ready to capture the moment! Mom, you have helped shape me into the woman that I am today and I am eternally grateful for all the sacrifices that you've made for our family. My mom could somehow whip up a 3-coase meal even when there wasn't any food in the house and make it taste like we were dining at a 5-star restaurant every time. I don't think I will ever be able to top her delicious cooking but I will certainly try -- I need to keep Adrian happy and one of the ways to his heart is through his stomach... wish me luck! I am so excited to celebrate with you on our big day, we love you very much. Papi, I am so excited and happy to be able to share the most amazing day of my life with you. You've been there for me through it all and have helped me become the person I am today. You have shown me unconditional love and you are the prime example of a hard-working, faithful, and dedicated father. We have a special bond that is unbreakable. I know you must be somewhat sad to see me leave the nest but at least you won’t have to endure listening to my whining for much longer. You can proudly pass that torch over to Adrian now! I love you😊
Alina & Lino
Mother and Father of the Groom
Mom, everything that one can describe as a mother, she is that and more. She is a woman of strong faith and service to her family and community. She loves to dance, laugh, and bring all friends and family together. We have both talked about this day for a long time. What an honor and blessing it is to have you here with me to share this moment together. I love you. Your son and future daughter-in-law. Dad. Hard-working, faithful, and loving father. He will make anyone laugh by his silly acts. At the same time, he is one to always listen and give great life advice. This moment with him is a milestone that we both share, and yes... I can't stop hearing of all the grandkids he would like for us to have. I love you very much. Love, your son and future daughter-in-law.
