Maid of Honor
I met Jen in High school, we quickly bonded and have been going through life's moments together. Even when Jen moved to Michigan we have always stayed best friends. She has literally flown down to Miami because I simply needed a friend. She was there when I was thinking about getting into a relationship with Sergio, and she was there when I made the call to tell her he proposed. I can't think of anyone else to be by my side as I marry Sergio.
Best Man
Ronald and I hit it off right away after meeting each other, it was through him that I fatefully ended up meeting Ariana and he’s gotten me out of more jams that I can count. Because of his undying loyalty and support he’s my best man and I’ll always have his back, no matter how hairy. He’s our best friend and my partner in crime.
Bridesmaid
Where to start, Tati and I met in Elementary school and were neighbors. We can all say, that because of Tati and I, the Anna clan and Adis clan are 100% FAMILY. That's right we started it all! I can speak for Tati and I when we say you're welcome. We have endured our hardest moments like a family, from when I was sick to when Tati was sick and everything in between. We have been there for each other and I know we always will be. The best times have been when all the Balloons (inside joke you wont get it) are together and it all started with US! Tati is truly an amazing person with a heart of gold and a big part of our family.
Groomsman
Just like Danny and Ronald, Alex has been through the Comcast gauntlet with me. Through the years, he has been beyond worthy of the title of friend, he’s one of my brothers. Friendships are easy when they are convenient, and I have always had faith that he will do right by his people even when things get tough. Someone who, in-spite of having started a family of his own, found he time to integrate us into it. Just like we accept him as part of our own family as well.
Bridesmaid
Mimi is Tati's younger sister and my brother's twin. I know its odd but you will understand when we all get together. Mimi is the one with the big smile on her face and probably laughing and taping you on the shoulder saying "you're to funny" or something along those lines. It is ALWAYS a Broadway show when she is around, especially with her twin. When we were younger the Balloons (inside joke ask at the wedding if you really want to know) would make the best concert that all of West Miami would attended and even people from Westchester would come. The stars of the show were Mimi and Tato, as one of rest of the balloons I was honestly was very content that they were the stars because they were to funny to not be. I am happy to have a star standing by me like Mimi on my special day.

My brother in law to be, being friends with Tato feels like what being friends with a celebrity would be. There’s never a bad time or an uncomfortable silence. It’s always good vibes and high spirits. Everybody loves him. To be truthful; I didn’t get what the big deal with him was at first. However, the more I got to know him, the more I realized what made him so special. I feel incredibly fortunate to have him be a part of my clan.
Bridesmaid
Little Karina, the last of the OG Balloons (for real just ask us). Karina already knew that she would be a Bridesmaid because she, just like most people should know there would be NO way I would walk down the aisle without her. It would be unnatural to not have the Anna girls not be right next to me, because that's all we know. We were raised together. Karina being the youngest of us through our childhood, it is literally all she knows. I love having a little sister like her. She did have her grumpy little munchkin moments but to date it is still the funniest moments we remember. Karina is hard working and is not afraid of speaking her mind, which we all need to hear from time to time.
Groomsman
Other than my brother, Rafaelito has known me the longest and the most. We share a caliber of camaraderie that simply calling it a friendship feels like a disservice. No matter how much time we spend apart, we are always able to pick back up where we left off. His brutal honesty and sincerity have helped me ground myself. My closest confidant, my brother.
Bridesmaid
Lizet is my cousin and my go to for life questions. I can always count on her for the best advice. I have been able to talk to her about things that I would not be able to speak with my mother about (sorry mom). She has honestly been a big sister to me from day one. She has been helping me with the wedding planning aside of other things and reminding me that its all about Sergio and I. She also backs me up when saying no to certain people in the family. I had the privilege of standing next to Lizet as one of her Bridesmaid when she got married and now she will be a Bridesmaid in my wedding.
Groomsman
Danny arguably has the most energy out of our entire group, he works hard and he also plays hard. It’s inconceivable that after working as hard and as often as he does, he’s able to make time for his family and friends, and STILL come over to our house every other night and hang out with us. Though He has been and continues to be a great friend to us. His strong work ethic and family values inspires me to work harder on those aspects of my life and I admire him for it.
Matron of Honor
We have been friends for more than half a decade now and our friendship seems to only get stronger and stronger every day. I made her my matron of honor simply because I can't think of a better person for the role than "Turn up Tiff!!". Ever since we met we both have gone through all kinds of life moments together. I was there when she became a wife and when she became a mother and began a beautiful family. And speaking of family, She is part of ours as far as I’m concerned and without her, our group wouldn’t be the same
Officiant
My Tia, Godmother, friend and now our honorary Officiant; Aly has no shortage of earned titles. She's strong and kind and her fiery confidence has made her one of my biggest role models. She's the cool aunt every kid wants and she supersedes that by being the coolest at every title she has. She is the perfect officiant to our wedding because of these reasons and more. We're certain she'll kick ass on our day just like she kicks ass any other day.
