Bride
Hi, I’m Angie—the bride! I love God and cherish spending time with my friends and loved ones. I’ve been told I’m funny, loyal, considerate, and trustworthy—qualities I hold close to my heart. Whether it’s sharing a laugh or just being there for someone, I’m all about meaningful connections and staying true to the people I care about.
Groom
I’m Donnie, the groom. I’m a proud Chicago native and a lifelong fan of the Cubs, Bears, Bulls, and Blackhawks—Wrigley Field is one of my happy places. I have a deep love for nature, travel, and adventuring. I’m also a big fan of history and architecture, always curious about how things came to be. I come from a big family, the youngest of 9. I’ve got a big heart, and I try to live with compassion, thoughtfulness, and intention. God is first place in my life. I’m a critical thinker and I love thought-provoking and philosophical conversation. I’m good with words. I love to socialize. I feel most like myself when I’m surrounded by good people and good energy.
Father of the Bride
My name is Orlando. I’m a loving, loyal, and generous Puerto Rican dad who loves God and is devoted to his family. I’m proud to be the father of the bride—a role that fills my heart with joy and gratitude. I lead with my heart, stand by my values, and do my best to show up every day with love and strength. Faith, family, and being present—that’s what matters most to me.
Mother of the Bride
Hello, I’m the mother of the bride, and my heart is full of love and pride. Watching my daughter step into this new chapter is one of the greatest joys of my life. I’m a strong, hardworking, determined, and resilient Puerto Rican woman who feels deeply, cherishes family, and finds beauty in life’s most meaningful moments.
Grandmother of the Bride
I’m Abuela, the grandmother of the bride—and today, my heart is dancing. I raised my family with love, hard work, and a little bit of sazón, and now I get to watch my granddaughter begin her own journey. I’ve wiped scraped knees, mended broken hearts, and always had a pot of arroz simmering when someone needed comfort. Life tested me, but I never stopped giving, never stopped loving. Today, I stand proud—resilient, strong, and full of joy—because she carries my spirit into her future.
Stepfather of the Groom
I’m Joe, stepfather of the groom. Music has been the rhythm of my life for as long as I can remember—I started playing as a small child and never stopped. Over the years, I’ve taught and performed music, and I’ve had the joy of playing many instruments, though the guitar, saxophone, and clarinet are my specialty. I have a silly since of humor and like to keep things lighthearted. I’m a proud father of two sons, and through marriage, I’ve been blessed with four stepsons, five stepdaughters, and a growing number of grandchildren who lovingly call me Papa. Family and music are at the heart of who I am, and today I’m honored to celebrate with the people I love most.
Mother of the Groom
I’m Marvis, mother of the groom. Being a mom has always been my greatest joy—I knew from a young age that it was what I was meant to be. God blessed me with 9 wonderful children and over 30 beautiful grandchildren, each one a precious part of my heart. I’ve always tried to be a loving and nurturing presence in their lives, raising them with a deep love for God and a strong sense of family. I love to sing, and I’ve always had a creative spirit—whether through music, homemaking, or simply finding joy in the everyday. Today, my heart is full as I celebrate this special moment with my family.
Maid of Honor
Angie and I became fast friends. Within just a few months of knowing each other, we were already on vacation together (Angie doesn’t waste time when she finds her people lol).I may bring a little thrill and a big personality. Whether it's impromptu lunch dates, go-karting, or traveling, I’m down, but I may need to sneak in a nap first! I also have a need for speed, so while I may be small in stature, my foot still hits the gas pedal just fine.As maid of honor, I’m proud to stand beside the bride I now call my sister, and affectionately, my Twin.
