Jessica & Michael
Wedding Party
Sofia Montes
Flower Girl
The first time Sofia met Michael she nicknamed him "Pineapple head" and it has stuck with her since. She has now become the most beautiful little girl in our world. She brightens up any room she walks into and always has a lot to say! She is beyond excited to take part in her "Tia Jessica" 's wedding.
Maia Legra
Flower Girl
Maia is a sweet loving little girl who isn’t so little anymore. Jessica remembers holding Maia when she was just one day old and now she’s a few inches away from being taller than Jess. We couldn’t imagine having this wedding without Maia playing a special part!
Naomi Cano
Flower Girl
Jessica’s little cousin Naomi reminds everyone of how Jessica was when she was a young girl. The perfect mix of sassy but also gentle at the same time adds to her charm. We knew Naomi would be perfect for the flower girl role because she is the most organized little girl!
Aiden Bourque
Ring Bearer
We couldn't think of any kid who would be more perfect for the task at hand. Aiden has more energy than most of us combined and he is always eager to help in his own special way. He loves hanging out and playing all sorts of punch and kicking games with "Mike!" We're all hoping that the rings make it to the altar!
Maribelle Ramirez
Matron of Honor
Jessica would see Maribelle in church conventions for many years before actually getting to know her. In 2009 they began interacting more as a youth group as their churches were moved to be under the same zone. Jessica and Josiah (Maribelle's best friend at the time - now husband) became friends and it was only a matter of time before her and Jessica also became friends... with time, the friendship grew and they became bestest of friends! Now they travel the world together and have countless memories made and to make! Jessica was there and helped plan for Mari's proposal and Mari was there and helped plan for hers... We still haven't found anyone who is more excited about this wedding than Mari is.
Ricky Bamrick
Best Man
Not too long after leaving the womb Michael met Ricky - his older and only brother. Along the way, big-little brother Michael has endured plenty of bumps, bruises and stitches that come along with being a little brother. Michael has forgiven Ricky for the time when his face accidentally met the surface of Ricky's wooden baseball bat. Even though he has tried to convince Michael that he is adopted, Michael still has chosen him to be best man. ...Ancestry DNA results pending...
Kelly Cruz
Bridesmaid
Kelly is Jessica's older cousin and is always there to encourage, support and speak her mind lol Shes protective and upon meeting Mikey she felt he made a great first impression and the rest of the family was sure to know it. Kelly is the sister Jess always wanted. It's always a great time when Kelly is around!
Jose Montes
Groomsman
Michael’s future brother-in-law and the life of any party. Michael knows that with Jose there’s sure to be countless sports debates and pickup basketball games to come.
Cindy Guevara
Bridesmaid
Cindy is another one of Jessica's cousins who she grew up with. She has the same exact sweet (sour) tooth and both love adventure and being spontaneous. She has such a great laugh and a beautiful soul. They both along with the other cousins love to travel together! I wonder where the next destination will be...
Ian Hannwacker
Groomsman
Everyone wants to be friends with a guy with a last name like Hannwacker. Ian and Michael met at UF through the Chi Phi Fraternity and bonded over sports and their average level of commitment to the Fraternity.
Lauren Rivera
Bridesmaid
Jess and Lauren grew up together as cousins they were but because of the age gap weren't really all that close. As they grew older their bond definitely grew after fun cousin trips and more gatherings. Lauren is one of the few people that Jess can count on for anything. Couldn't have this day without her!
Kevin Deckers
Groomsman
Michael and Kevin met in college through their involvement in the Chi Phi Fraternity. Kevin made one of the best decisions of his young adult life by selecting Michael as his “little brother” in the fraternity and from there the rest is history. In fact, as an honor to his Fraternity little brother, Kevin had his first child right around Michael’s birthday; well, you’ll have to confirm with him on how true that is but for now that’s what we’ll go with.
Janis Mercado
Bridesmaid
Jess and Janis met on the school bus in 9th grade became very close after being in Mr. Tillery's class together. Through the years they became and remained close friends. Janis made Jess an auntie for the first time with Maia. Jess has always counted on Janis to be real, genuine and a great friend.
Hawkins Onuigbo
Groomsman
Michael and Hawkins met through Michael Bouey and shared many experiences on the basketball court through their middle school and high school years. Michael describes Hawkins as an old soul who is from another time period but as someone who sometimes provides good advice, sometimes. Michael can always count on Hawkins to provide a contradicting opinion regardless of the topic.
Michelle Corral
Bridesmaid
If you have known Jessica for any of the past 13 years you have FOR SURE known Michelle Corral. Lived just a few houses down, rode the same cheese wagon and both Colombian - they were destined for friendship! First day they met they had the same exact pair of Jordans (who wears those anymore) on... Michelle's were white and gold, Jessica's were white and silver....the rest is history! They remained inseparable throughout high school and beyond.
Michael Bouey
Groomsman
Michael and Michael, as you can see having the same name and same initials made this a challenge from the beginning which is why both became known as their last names (or white Mike black Mike), became friends through their Pop Warner football days. As the QB and RB/WR duo, Bamrick likes to credit Bouey for being the one that made him look good out there. Bamrick and Bouey represent the exception to the rule of “birds of the same feather flock together.”
Michelle Ponce
Bridesmaid
Jessica met Michelle P through a mutual friend (Brendalin). At first it was just small talk at casual event gatherings and slowly a friendship grew between the two. Michy loves to talk about life, has a creative mind a beautiful soul, she is adventurous, loves Jesus and just plain kind -- this is what attracts the two. Jessica's favorite memory with Michy is driving after work to a Museum in Miami and driving back home to Orlando the same night.
Josiah Ramirez
Groomsman
Originally Josiah came as a package deal as one of Jess' best friends/best friend's husband.... Through the years of photo-taking bonding and significant other chaperoning a friendship was developed. Josiah aka "Yoshi" loves to offer a COMBO-nation of marriage tips and advice to lead a successful marriage. Adventures are something we (our ladies) love to do and we look forward to many more!
Brendalin Caceres
Bridesmaid
Brendalin and Jessica met Sophmore year of College in Algebra! GO KNIGHTS. Brenda came up to Jess one day after class and said 'you look very familiar' (Something Jess gets quite often). It was a small world afterall. They did have mutual friends. Their friendship grew through the years and it was through Brenda that Jess met a lot of her current friends. Brenda has been present through all the stages of Jess' life and counts on her for fashion tips, realness and always coming through!
Jonathan Cano
Groomsman
One of Jessica’s favorite cousins and one of the first cousins Michael met, Jonathan and Michael easily got along thanks to endless witty sarcastic humor and sports. From concerts to soccer games to family gatherings Jonathan is the go to for sarcastic, dry, and edgy humor.
