Atris & Joseph
Wedding Party
Amanda Giles
Maid of Honor
Picture this: it's the summer of 2007, two girls in middle school at the beginning of their awkward emo phases screaming My Chemical Romance lyrics 24/7 while messing around on myspace. That summer was when I knew Amanda was going to be one of the most important people in my life. We have had one of the weirdest and wildest friendships ever imagined, but there's no one else I'd rather call my best friend. She's been with me during the good, the bad, and the ugly. I can't imagine my life without her, and I'm so honored to have her standing by me as I marry the other most important person in my life.
Corey Bentzen
Best Man
Corey was my boss when we first met. He's always been very close to me, and has helped me through the hardest times, and been there for the best times since I've known him. When he moved on to no longer being my boss, it was the best thing that could have happened; not only because he was the worst boss, but I got an amazing mentor and friend out of it. I'm so honored to have someone I look up to as much as him to be my best man.
Gloria Rock
Bridesmaid
We met when we both worked at Steve Madden. She was one of the first friends I made there, and we have since had MANY drunk nights together. We always used to joke about how she'd be my bridesmaid when I got married, and I am so happy that that drunken memory is coming to life. I am beyond grateful for her friendship.
Michael Placido
Groomsman
We met working at Domino's together. When we found out we loved the same music, we became very close ever since. We've had a lot of great times and rough times together, but Michael's always been the ride-or-die any friend needs in their life. No matter what has happened, or what will happen, he will always be there for you and we've become brothers - I couldn't ask for a better one.
Irene Garcia
Bridesmaid
We also met while working at Steve Madden. We grew close very quickly, and she's always been there for me when I need her most. She is one of the funniest and kindest people I have ever met. There's never a dull moment when I'm with her. Her friendship throughout the years has meant so much to me, and I'm so thankful to have her as one of my bridesmaids.
Eli Ccoñas
Groomsman
Eli was a driver for us when we first met, and he was sincerely one of the most cryptic, oddball people I've ever met. Being able to get to know him more and more over the years let us become such great friends, even when we go months without seeing each other. I always know I can count on him to bring something funny and new into my life.
