Maid of Honor
Brittany and I met in 2020, and a year later, we somehow moved in together and have been inseparable ever since! If we aren't on Facetime doing chores and watching reality TV then we're binging a random video game together or doing random crafts. Brittany and I are so close that although Andrew won't admit it, I know he's jealous. Brittany is the most caring and considerate person and I am so grateful to call her my Maid of Honor and sister.
Best Man
Vincent and I have been best friends since essentially birth. We first bonded over our love for Bakugan in our neighborhood. Everyday we were together, exploring the woods behind our house, playing in the creek, or playing video games. I'll always remember and appreciate our "Midnight Walks" where we would talk about getting our first cars, being roommates, and being each other's best men. Although he can easily make me angry and is late to everything, I have never met someone more caring and patient then Vincent. To this day I have yet to meet someone who has a friendship as close as ours. I see Vincent as a brother, a brother whose been by my side through it all and to which I'm extremely proud of and grateful to.
Bridesmaid
In third grade, Nicole gave me a piece of her sandwich on the bus. That sandwhich was the start to a beautiful friendship. We lived in the same apartment complex on opposite sides so we'd come up with any excuse to see each other. If we weren't making pillow forts we were playing Minecraft and Barbie till midnight. Nicole is such a big part of my life with all the memories we share and I'm so blessed we are still as close as ever today.
Groomsman
I first met Faustino in 6th grade and I'd be lying to you if I said I liked him at that time. That next year, we shared a Spanish class in 7th grade and after weeks of me kicking his chair we somehow became friends. Come High School, Faustino and I were inseparable, we both worked at Discount Tire, ran in Cross Country, and swam together. During our senior year, we had the same work schedule and had two traditions, Wednesday was Pho night, and Friday was pizza night. After High School, Faustino joined the Marines and was stationed in North Carolina. Every time he came home we made time for each other and i am happy that he is home. I have nothing but pride and respect for Faustino and am blessed to have him in my life.
Groomsman
Sean and I went to the same preschool. The earliest memory I have of Sean was being Power Rangers for Halloween. Although Sean didn't live close to me, our moms (Who were best friends) would schedule play dates and sleep overs all the time. If we weren't outside playing Basketball we were inside sitting on his living room couch playing Mario Kart on the Wii or NBA 2k on the Xbox. Sean is my only friend I can talk sports with and I give him all the credit for my love of basketball and the Los Angeles Lakers. Now that we are older and can drive we always take time out of our busy schedules to see each other or call. I've always had so much respect for Sean's amazing positivity and intelligence and his ability to make powering through life look so effortless. Sean to me is like a twin brother, we're a month apart in age and don't look anything alike but regardless I see you as a twin brother.
Ring Bearer
Mother of the Bride
The most amazing and beautiful mother I could ever ask for. We are two peas in a pod who love spending time together and watching Disney movies. Most of our time together is spent laughing about things that are probably not even funny. I’m endlessly grateful for her love, strength, and the countless ways she manages to lift my spirits. I strive to be half the woman she is today.
Father of the Bride
Jose coming into our life was the biggest blessing in disguise. He pushes my mom and I to be better and to not regret trying. When you ask a question or need advice he will never tell you the answer, but what he will do is give you hints to push you in the right direction. He taught me to not regret trying new things, don't let anything or anyone bring me down, and to broaden my horizons. I don’t believe their could be anyone else best fitted to be my Step-Dad!
Father of the Groom
An amazing father to the groom, you couldn't ask for a better dad! My father taught me to be caring, patient, and work hard. He is always there in times of need and is the rock that holds the family together. He may seem like a silent type but take heed! When you get him going he can talk your ear off! Also, don't even think about challenging him to a dance battle.... because he will win!
Mother of the Groom
Jennifer was a mother to everyone. You couldn't enter her house without a hug and a smile. Although she and Diane didn't know each other for very long she loved every second of their time. Jennifer would always say Diane was the one for Andrew and boy was she right. She isn't here physically anymore but she is here in spirit. Rest In Peace August 27, 1961 - Feburary 23rd, 2021
