I've known Jovani and Drea for practically my whole life. Jovani has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. He is both a brother and a great friend to me, and I'm incredibly happy that he's found someone special. I wish the best for both of them!

I've know Jovani my whole life and I appreciate him always bing there. Seeing him grow up in church, being a leader in ministry, and a servant has really shown me a lot. He's a goofy brother and through the ups and downs, he's never given up on what God has called him to do. When Drea came into Jovani's life and seeing them together, I knew Drea was someone special to him. I can't wait for what happens next in yall's life together.

I've known Jovani my whole life, I want to first thank him for everything he's done! Growing up with him has been a blessing, he is an example to me not just in church, but as a brother. Seeing God move in his life is an amazing thing and now he's getting married to someone special to him. Seeing them together I knew they were meant for each other. I can't wait to see what God has planned for the both of them!

I was introduced to Andrea on April 19th, 2003. From that day on she has always been in my life. As her older brother, I have had the privilege to grow up with her and watch her overcome challenge after challenge in life. She has been the greatest middle sister in the world. She has always been supportive, funny, hardworking and strong. She loves God with all her heart and loves his people. I couldn't have asked for a better middle sister than Andrea, wherever she goes, blessing and joy follows. I was introduced to Jovani in 2006 when we lived in Oklahoma City. My father took over the church in that year and we were introduced to Jovani and his family. Even though we went to the same church in 2006, our friendship didn't really start until 2018 when we went to conference together with a group of friends. My family and I had left Oklahoma City in 2007 to pioneer other churches in multiple cities. When we went to conference in 2018, we were finally able to build a friendship. From 2018 on, our friendship has grown. The longer I know Jovani, the more I see how great of a man of God he is. Jovani is a very hard worker; he loves God with all his heart, and he treats my sister so well. I'm so happy for both, I know God's blessing and his presence will flourish in their home.

I have had the privilege of knowing Jovani for several years, and over time, our friendship has grown significantly. Since he began his relationship with Andrea, we have gotten closer some might even say too close. Jovani is a leader and a man of God, and I have no doubt that he will lead his marriage with integrity and in alignment with God’s will. I can’t wait to see the wonderful things God will accomplish through this amazing couple.”

Andrea and I are not only sisters but we're best friends! She's been there for me through the thick and thin. She's been my rock and my shoulder to lean on. I look up to my sister. She's truly an inspiration to me. I admire the way she's kind to everyone and is always helping somebody. I want to be just like her. I love her with my whole heart and I'm glad she found Jovani and is happy because she truly deserves it!

Hey! I'm Jackie Saavedra, and I'm so honored to stand with the beautiful bride on her big day. So, our origin story is simple, my first time meeting her was when we were both babies, so she really is my "day 1." Technically speaking, we're cousins but throughout the years a sister bond was created, and for that I'm so grateful! When people ask how we're related now, it's second nature for me that we're sisters. I met Jovani when they first started talking, and when their relationship began it was just a perfect fit. He showed her the love that she deserved (which is all the love in the world.) Me and Drea have been a part of each other's life's stages, and this is one that we've waited for since we were little girls, I'm beyond grateful to have watched their love story unfold right in front of me, and to stand next to y'all when your forever love story begins!

I can’t remember the exact moment I met Drea. I can only recall her always being a part of my life. From math tutoring sessions to traveling the world together, Drea has always been a little sister to me. One of my favorite memories of Drea was when we stayed up super late one night during Christmas break. We had gone to United and grabbed a bunch of weird, flavored sodas (like bacon & butter flavored soda!). When we got back to their house, we mixed all the flavors and everyone had to drink at least one of our “amazing” concoctions. The laughs and fun we had that night will always be a core memory! Drea has always been such an amazing young lady who loves God and strives for excellence! She is a friend who is kind, supportive, and always sees the good in a situation. She will be such a beautiful bride and I’m beyond excited for her & Jov! Marriage is such a wonderful adventure, and I can’t wait to see all that God has in store for you guys!!

Drea has been in my life since I was born, and growing up with her has been amazing. I look up to her like an older sister. She has always been an inspiration for how I want to be when I grow up. She is kind, funny, and smart. I'm so glad she found the one!

I first met Drea back in July 2012 when me and my little family walked into The Door Christian Fellowship church in Lubbock Texas!! Ever since then it’s been a big blessing to watch her grow into the woman she has become! From being a little girl learning the drums to learning the piano to someone my daughter looks up to in her walk with God! Drea has been like a little sister to me, and we can’t wait to see what God has planned for her and Jovanni! We love you, Drea!!

I met Andrea when my family and I first started going to church. I was just three years old, and from there, she became such a special part of my life. Growing up, she’s always been like a big sister to me, from teaching me new instruments, fun sleepovers, and traveling the world together. Those memories are some of the best parts of my childhood that I’ll never forget. The day she shared the news that she and Jovani were officially talking I was so excited for her! Now that they’re getting married, I couldn't be happier for them! I just know they’re going to have an amazing life together and I can’t wait to see what God has planned for them!
