Wedding Party
Debora Hernandez
Bridesmaid
I’ve known Deb for almost 11 years, and it’s wild to think about how many seasons of life we’ve walked through together. From the highs to the hard moments and everything in between, she’s been a steady, loving presence. I’m endlessly grateful for the friendship we’ve built and for the kind, beautiful soul I get to call one of my closest friends. Life is simply better with Deb in it.
Brenda Villegas Galindo
Bridesmaid
Brenda and I have known each other for over 20 years, a lifetime of memories, growth, and so many shared chapters. She is more than a friend; she is family. She has stood beside me through every peak and every valley, offering unwavering love and steady support. She is truly a sister to me, and I cannot thank her enough for the constant presence and loyalty she’s shown throughout my life. I am endlessly grateful for her.
Ina Patrascu
Bridesmaid
Ina’s story is one of my favorites to tell — I was her very first intern! From the moment I met her, I knew I wasn’t going to let her go. What started as a supervisor relationship quickly turned into something so much more. Over time, she became one of my very best friends. She is the peace in the storm, the voice of reason, and somehow the person who laughs more than anyone I know. She brings light, joy, and steady calm wherever she goes. She is happiness.
Karina Luna
Bridesmaid
Karina and I have been friends for five years, and I truly can’t believe how quickly that time has flown by. We’ve shared so much laughter, endless girl time, and countless heart-to-heart conversations. She’s been my sounding board, my safe place, and such a steady support. I’m incredibly grateful for her genuine heart and the loving, thoughtful person she is. I’m so lucky to call her my friend.
Zach Howland
Groomsman
Some of my favorite memories and biggest laughs have happened alongside Zack (or however you spell it, you still haven't told me) Life has been a lot more fun and meaningful with him as part of it.
Kevin Thomas
Groomsman
From kneeing me in the face in junior high to one of the biggest days of my life, Kevin has been someone who has been there through every season.
Papa Gee
Groomsman
He isn't just my best friend, he's family - his loyalty, encouragement and constant support help me to be who I am today.
Reuben Kapadia
Groomsman
Since moving to California, Reubs has been someone who has pushed me to be better, supported me when I need it most, and reminded me who I am when I forgot.
John Shoja
Groomsman
God brought John into my life during a time when friendship was needed and he quickly became someone who I could rely on, laugh with, and share tons of memes with.
Javier Galindo
Groomsman
I have been deeply grateful for how Javier has included me into the family, showing a level of kindness and grace I will never forget. He may be my cousin by title, but he has always been my older brother in every way that matters. The love I have for him runs so deep, and I hope I show him that every single day. He has been there for me through everything — the good, the hard, and all the in-between moments. No matter what, he has always made sure I know I can count on him. One of my greatest joys in life is being part of his family.
Alex Romero
Groomsman
From the very beginning, Alex welcomed me into the family with open arms, kindness, shots, Tio Amigo's burgers, and genuine friendship, making me feel like I truly belonged. Another cousin who is so much more to me. Alex always has a smile ready and a hug waiting. He has consistently been a safe place for me — someone I can open up to and feel completely supported. His kindness is unmatched, and his heart is even bigger. He deserves to feel loved and appreciated every single day, just as he makes everyone around him feel.
Carlos Galindo
Groomsman
Marrying into this family also means gaining Carlos as a brother, and I could not be more thankful for the friendship and bond we've already begun building. My little brother — I know Jesse already wrote about him, but I have to add my own words. Carlos is truly the light of my heart. He can make me laugh even in moments when I’m trying to be serious and “explain life” to him. Watching him grow into the man he’s becoming has been one of my greatest joys. I am so incredibly proud of him and the person he is becoming. Being his sister is one of my favorite roles in life.
