Maria Belen & Mauricio
Wedding Party
Logan Swede
Ring Bearer
Logan is my (Belu's) cousin and godson. He is sweet and funny. Defiantly, stole Belen's heart before the groom did. Therefore, no one better to take the rings up the alter than him! Our special wouldn't be the same without his YES!
Michelle Martinez
Bridesmaid
She is my (Belu's) cousin and first friend. She is one of my favorite people on the World! Michi and I grew up together like sisters. Michi has a huge heart and sweet personality. She has seen me in every mood and phase. She can predict my actions and accepts me like I am. I can always be one hundred percent myself and still feel loved, understood, and not judged around her. My childhood was amazing thanks to her. The bond we have is so unique and special. My special day wouldn't be the same without her. <3
Marianela Lasa
Maid of Honor
Mari is my (Belu) best friend. She is strong and down to Earth, funny, clumsy, distracted, honest, strong willed, determined ... and I can go on forever... She is basically fucking awesome! We meet in 6th grade, over 16 years ago. Since then, we have been inseparable. Mauri is the love of my life, but without a doubt, Mari is my soulmate. She is the best friend anyone can ask for. I would be lost without her guidance.
Maggie Lemus
Bridesmaid
Maggie is my (Belu's) best friend. We meet in high school and were know by everyone as M&M. We were always together...like always. After spending all day at school together, we hangout at each others house, and then spoke on the phone afterwards for another hour. We planned to attend the same college and we did. Maggie moved to CLU as a freshmen, and I followed as a junior. We were suite-mates and then roommates. The deal was she was going to find me a boyfriend. Therefore, she claims credit for my relationship with Mauricio, but I don't give it to her. I do have to say though, she told me Mauricio's idea of a hike class assignment make up was a date. She said he liked me and I called BS. You will hear more about that later...
Maya Rae
Bridesmaid
Maya was my random roommate at CLU. I was terrified of how crazy my roommate could be but, Maya was the best roommate that I could have asked for. After suffering through geology class (and field-trip) together I defiantly knew she "rocks!". She is hardworking, chill, and has a kind heart. Mauricio and her went to high school and commuted to CLU together. I was formally introduced to him by her. She brought him to our room to show him 'beautiful' Krammer 5. The 3 of us hung out a lot at CLU. We give you, Maya, a little bit of credit for this love story... thank you for unknowingly being our wing man-woman. <3
Camila Gonzalez
Bridesmaid
Camila is my sister in law. The first time I met her was when I went to Argentina with my family and Mauri in 2017. She has shown to be sweet, caring. and fun. She is very patience and has willingly become a part of our crazy family! She is obviously, also, very brave! Thankfully, she married my brother and now there is another girl to deal with all the men at the house... #foreverthankful... But all (non)jokes aside, it is fun to have her and I love that she can join us in a special way for this big day for us.
Agostina Lasa
Bridesmaid
Ago has become one of my (Belu's) closest friends. She is Mari's sister and therefore met her when she was very young. Although she is younger than me she has always been protective and supportive. We have been at each others big, sad, happy, exciting, and difficult times. She makes me believe nothing is too hard to accomplish; she motivates me.
Jaqueline Guzman
Bridesmaid
"Jacky" or "Jacks" as I often call her is my little sister and I am really proud of her. She grew up with two brothers for one thing....brothers who sometimes maybe teamed up against her back in the day. But from that, I like to think she got her fierce independence and her drive to do better than her two brothers. We are closer now more than ever and I will always be there for her for anything she needs. Today she is working towards her Bachelor's degree and is planning to be the first of the family to get that Ph. D. She is an awesome human being who is driven to combine her love of medicine and engineering. If you see her around be sure to say hi and you'll see why I love her and am protective of her so much!
Sergio Stoll
Father of the Bride
My dad has shown me what love looks like. He's the most caring and loving person ever. He taught me self value and to not settle for less. I know that there isn't anything in the world that my dad wouldn't do for me. In fact, two times in my life I told him I had a dream and he made sure both of them became true. I grew up seeing him helping others and being there for people. If people cared for people the way my dad cares for his loved ones, we would live in a much better place. He gives great advice and always make me feel at ease. Any problem I think I have goes away when I talk to my dad. I hope to be as loving and caring as he is and I hope one day my kids admire me the way I admire my dad. I can't wait for him to walk me down the aisle. Proudly, forever daddy's girl!<3<3
Veronica Stoll
Mother of the Bride
It is so hard to write about my mom because there aren't enough words to describe how much I love her and all the love she radiates. My mom is the definition of unconditional love. Her immerse thrive to make us feel happy makes you end up believing that everything will always be OK. One of the things I miss the most about living with my parents is spending day to day with my mom. We love shopping, traveling, and going to concerts together. With mom at the house you will never be bored, she will always bring up a controversial issue to the table or a conspiracy theory to make us all mad or laugh. The day I am a mom, I hope my kids love me as much as I love her, and know I love them as much I know she loves me.
Guadalupe Dominguez
Flower Girl
Guada is my cousin and she comes all the way from Argentina. It is very special for me to have her with me on such a special day. I am very excited to have her experience our wedding through the eyes of the wedding party in our own version on American/Mexican/ Argentine wedding. I hope that as we both grow older we continue to be there for each others big days as much as distance allows <3 Can't wait to see you <3<3
Armando Guzman
Father of the Groom
My dad and I go waaaaaaayyyyyyy back, like since my birth! He's always been there for me and has been a strong role model for me and the rest of our family. He loves to instigate...much like me and I know that he always has my back. From simple life advice to helping me through the tough times of college, he is always there. He's awesome! Swing by and chat with him if you get a chance, it will be fun....oh and if you're not having beers with him you'll probably be taking shots!
Lourdes Guzman
Mother of the Groom
Where to even begin, my mom would move mountains for me if she could. She is the best mom that I could of ever have been blessed with and I love her so much. "Very hardworking" is just the start, she's not only worked multiple jobs, been in many committees but still made the time for me and my siblings with anything we needed. She makes the best Mexican food and is invaluable to me. She is Wonderwoman! If you get a chance, swing by and say hello...just be prepared to for a few selfies/pictures.
Nicolas Stoll
Groomsman
Nico is everything you expect an older brother to be; protective, caring, fun, and at times, my biggest pain in the ass. I am very lucky to have him as my older brother, though. He definitely understand me, and knows me well. Nico was always the creator of games and the one that would get us in trouble. He has a free spirit, and I love that he isn't scared of anything. Growing up with him made me feel like I would never in the world be alone. We shared perspectives on particular situations that were lived through as kids. Although we always fought like cat and dog, I always knew that he would kick ass for me... and you better bet I would for him too. I love him so much more than what he thinks.
Agustin Stoll
Groomsman
Agu is sweet, funny, and caring, although he can be your worst nightmare if he is “bored”. But, he is loveable. When we were children Agu and I had a deal. We would play teacher if then when he played soccer (alone) I would act as his soccer fan and photographer. This is how we got to be each other’s greatest fans. We learned to trust each other and share too much with each other. I don't think he knows how much he motivated me to become who I am. I hoped that following my dreams would give him the courage to follow his.
Edgar Guzman
Groomsman
My best bro....no seriously, even if he is my only brother. He is the creative mind and artist of the family. While I draw stick figures, he does portraits, sketches and creates awesome works of art. He definitely brings the creative side of thinking and brainstorming of ideas when we are together. I can rely on him for interesting reads, posts, videos or anything really. From playing board games, video games, hiking to watching movies, he is the best younger brother I could ask for. He'll definitely be someone you want to talk to for a good laugh and or witty exchange.
Joseph Escudero
Best Man
Have......you met Joseph?! ("The man, the myth, the legend")...Joseph is my best friend and the best man at our wedding. We met in high school, through our Upward Bound program. He was just someone who naturally became close to me because of our similar interests and love of playing futbol. I always have a good time hanging out with him. His upbeat nature and optimism definitely shine off on the rest of our group when things are not going as planned. He was my right-hand man for coordinating my beach proposal and we've been there for each other countless times. In our group, he definitely brings the energy and keeps us to all have a good time.
Jose Garcia
Groomsman
Jose ("the electrical engineer") is a good friend that has been there for me since the upward bound days. I have him to thank for his constant drive and for the added experience of working on technical projects with him. He is someone I can trust to go to for building out my ideas, getting constructive criticism. Without him, our band of merry friends would be much more plain, as he helps bring out the sense of humor in all of us. He can be random at times, but it helps things be fun. If you are passionate about engineering, DIY projects, Lil Wayne or Vicente - definitely swing by to say hi!
Rene Soto Garcia
Groomsman
Rene ("The social engineer"), he's part of our merry band of upward bound renegades. In our group he can be considered our social influencer, he is always networking and connecting and exploring new places. You can always strike up interesting conversations and learn new cooking recipes from him. He's my go-to guy for anything trending, hidden gems, chats, cooking, bars...etc. In our group, he is a good conversation starter and can keep us engaged with topics for hours. Don't be afraid to strike up a conversation with him, if he hasn't already started one with you!
Eduardo Arellano
Groomsman
Eddie (the flying ace of hearts), is an all-around great person to be around. He's not just the glue of our group, but he keeps us all in check and is a great caring compassionate human being. Eddie is the guy you want at your side when things are great and not so great - he is uplifting and is always there when you need him. He's smart, passionate about aviation and the definition of hard-working. If you have a chance, get to know him - he's a great friend.
