Wedding Party
Melisa
Maid of Honor
Crazy to think the one friend I made during a pandemic would become one of my closest friends and now my maid of honor. We met over a year ago and have enjoyed many shopping trips to Marshalls for candles. Our friendship is so special to me and when I was planning my wedding I could only picture Melisa as being my Maid of Honor. She's been nothing but a blessing since I've met her.
Brian
Groomsman
If there is one person that will have Frankies back no matter how wrong he is it would be Brian. Frankie met Brian almost two years ago when he joined his fraternity and they became fast friends. Soon we were all going on double dates and taking our dogs on walks. Brian has always been a positive light in Frankie's life in more ways than we can count.
Krista
Bridesmaid
I met Krista in high school and for some reason we always understood each other in a different way. Over the years our friendship has involved many parties, late night talks, and me almost throwing up cause if we buy a bottle it's only right to finish it in one night. Krista has many characteristics that make me love her, but some of the few I especially love is the way she will always validate my feelings and give me advice that will help me in any situation. I am so grateful to have her as a friend and part of my special day.
Jose
Groomsman
Frankie and Jose met in high school and have always remained great friends. Yes he is one of the "boys" that Frankie will stay up late playing games with and laughing way too loud. When these two get together there is no stopping them from talking for hours about everything and anything. The bond they have is so unique and rare, its so beautiful to see.
Taya
Bridesmaid
Picture a little Taya and a little Annmarie at 4 years old meeting at a pool and becoming close friends. We started at playing Bratz on her porch to laughing in her room for hours until her mom would knock on the wall (usually cause I laugh way too loud). There has been many all nighters watching movies and eating snacks to summer days swimming in her pool. Taya is my oldest friend and like she said our sophomore year in high school "I have the Taya disease and I can never get rid of it". I always pictured my wedding and having her be part of it is fulfilling that dream.
Oscar
Groomsman
About two years ago Frankie met Oscar through their fraternity and then he became his Big Brho. Whenever Frankie talks about Oscar he speaks so highly of him and the respect they have for each other in unmatched. Oscar is the friend he calls when he wants to get a late night pizza with some beer or when his tire pops and needs some help figuring it out. Even though they aren't blood related Frankie really did gain an older brother by meeting Oscar.
Angelo
Groomsman
Angelo and Frankie met a few years ago in high school with the other "boys". There has been late nights crashing at Angelo's house or staying up to play video games. Even though they live miles apart now they still have a unique friendship that is strong. I knew Angelo would have to be in the wedding cause I still haven't heard the end of it about the J. Cole concert, so your welcome Angelo.
Jayleen
Bridesmaid
I met Jayleen about 5 years ago when Frankie and I got together. She has been our third wheel on a few occasions but she loves it cause we buy her food. She is Frankie's little sister, so it was only right to have her be part of our wedding. When I was going to meet his family I was so scared his siblings wouldn't like me. Even though Jayleen may get on her brother's nerves we are so happy to have her in our special day.
Julian
Groomsman
Frankie and Julian have been friends for years and he is definitely one of his "boys". Even though Julian lives a busy life he still makes time to see his friends and now he's making time to be in our wedding. We both love Julian dearly and are so excited to have him as a groomsman in our wedding.
Caro Paz
Bridesmaid
So Caro is Frankie's cousin and I wanted her in the wedding cause she is just amazing. Even though she is two years younger than us we love spending time together and even having random sleep overs lol. Even though I tend to carry the conversations on with myself when I am with her I love the energy she brings when we all hang out. We are so excited to have her part of this next journey in our life.
Danny
Groomsman
Danny is Frankies cousin and long time roommate. They have been roommates since they started college at Sacramento State. Freshman year of college they shared a room and spend most nights up late laughing or talking about everything. By the end of Sophomore year they moved up in the adult life and got an apartment together. Through it all they have been each others support system with school or life in general. During their Junior year they gained another roommate which is me and it has been so easy living all together. Danny has always been a respectful and generous person and we are both so blessed to have him in our life.
Andy
Groomsman
Andy is Frankie's cousin and they have always had a great relationship. Now it is time to have him be part of a huge moment in Frankie's life. Through the years there has been many family parties, late nights, and little pep talks Frankie likes to give Andy. When you see the way they talk to each other you would think Frankie is his older brother. Whenever Frankie talks about Andy he always says how proud he is of the man he is becoming. Having Andy be part of our wedding is like the cherry on the top because he has always been the kindest person to us both.
John
Groomsman
Frankie and John met through the boys and have been good friends. Through the many different adventures they have all taken they always enjoy themselves. John is one of the guys Frankie plays games with into the early morning hours. If he says he's playing with John or Jose then I know they will be playing for hours and hours. We are so happy that John will be in our wedding.
