Areli Villegas

Nidia Garcia Brassard
Bridesmaid
Nidia was Margarita’s very first college friend. Margarita basically forced super shy Nidia to talk to her and since then they’ve been friends. They were also roommates after college and even though they seem to be complete opposites, they have been there for each other across the years. Nidia continues to be one of Margarita’s lifelong best friends!
Hannah Nicole Gelbs Gadd
Bridesmaid
Hannah and Margarita met in the Trinity HCAD program and both ended up completing their healthcare administration residencies in Houston, TX. During their time in Houston, they became closer friends. Hannah gets full credit for Margarita getting married...she is Alex’s sister-in-law and introduced Alex and Margarita. They’re truly stuck together for life now!
Scott Michael Gadd
Best Man
As brothers, Scott and Alex are as close as it gets, and at only 29 months apart it was a foregone conclusion. With the amount of moving they did growing up, they were usually each other's only friend for the first six months in a new city. They grew closer when Scott followed Alex to WVU after high school.
Roderick Keith Friend
Groomsman
Keith is Alex's cousin on his father's side. The 3rd of the 4 member motley crew that was Alex, his brother, and other cousin, Craig. Born less than year after Alex, they have been close all their lives. He and Alex were active in the Boy Scouts together, so much so that Keith's Troop made Alex and his brother honorary members. Though they live on opposite sides of the country from one another, no distance is stronger than family.
Craig Michael Haden
Groomsman
Craig is Alex's cousin on his mother's side. Born just 4 months after Alex, Craig was the 2nd boy in the family and the two of them began the motley crew. They spent almost every summer and Christmas together at skate parks and various haunts around Charleston West Virginia. As they've gotten older, time together has been less frequent than either of them would like, but that's the way with these things - it sure hasn't diminished their bond.
David Carter Moore
Groomsman
Alex has known Dave since the Gadds moved back to Houston from London England in 2001. He was one of Scott's first friends after the move and a founding member of the Houston crew along with Robby. Alex has thought of Dave as an adopted brother ever since. From Memorial High School to Telluride, Galveston and Cabo San Lucas to Wilson's Whitetail Ranch, their friendship goes back almost 2 decades.
Robert Ross Van Paasschen
Groomsman
Another member of the Houston crew and one of Scott's first friends, Alex has also known Robby since the Gadds landed back in Houston. They were on the swim team together at Memorial, and had many good hangs when Scott and Robby were roommates after college. Another of Alex's adopted younger brothers - if you haven't noticed the pattern, Alex sort of collects them.
Cameron Bermudes
Groomsman
Cameron and Alex have been friends for the better part of 2 decades. A founding member of the Memorial crew and another of Alex's adopted younger brothers, their history includes trips to Cabo, West Virginia, and parts in between.
Derek Deems
Groomsman
Derek and Alex became friends in LA through mutual West Virginians. Both avid Mountaineer fans, and one time members of the gypsy/pirate industry of Film and Television, Alex and Derek's friendship reaches back almost 10 years.
Ricardo Gardea Jr.
Groomsman
In the spirit of collecting brothers, Ito is Margarita's younger brother. Though they haven't known each other long, they were fast friends from the moment they met. As their families come together, the future looks bright with fun and family gatherings...even if the Cowboys will be on TV from time to time.
Emilia Adriana Brennen
Flower Girl
Margarita is Emilia’s ‘Nina’ (aka Godmother). She is the daughter of Margarita’s cousin Leonor and Bill. Emilia was born SECONDS before Margarita had to jump on a train to get back to work in NYC. Emilia and Margarita will always hold a very special bond as Goddaughter and Godmother!
Sophia Marie Robles
Flower Girl
Sophie is Margarita’s first niece, daughter of Margarita’s cousin Leo and Stephanie. They share a special bond as the first child of their generations. Sophie is probably as sassy and bossy (maybe even more) as Margarita was when she was a kid!
Daniel William Brennen
Ring Bearer
Daniel is Margarita’s nephew, son of Margarita’s cousin Leonor and Bill. He is the cutest little chunky monkey and frequently gets bossed around by his big sister Emilia. He enjoys nothing more than eating. He is the first boy born into the family in over 20 years!
Jack Kruetzkamp
Ring Bearer
Jack is Alex’s second cousin and nephew to groomsman Craig. Jack’s mom (and Craig’s sister) Allison gets credit for kickstarting Alex’s life-long passion for Pearl Jam (his favorite band) and shaping his taste in rock music as a whole.
