Wedding Party
Adan Ortiz
Father of the Bride
Dad—where do I even begin? First off, there’s no one I’d rather have at my side, walking me down the aisle on the biggest days of my life. God willing! You have molded and shaped me into the woman I am today and I couldn’t be more grateful. The sacrifices and obstacles you’ve had to overcome as a single dad did not go unnoticed. It helped me handle single-mom life all these years, taught me patience, understanding and strength. Thank you for continuing to be the rock in my life that keeps me grounded. Thank you for always reminding me of my faith and for being an amazing grandpa to the boys. William and I are forever grateful for your love and support.
Manuela Pasarya
Mother of the Bride
Mother—thank you for all you do and have done. That hard shell like exterior you have may be a façade for others, but deep down we know how sweet, loving and caring you can be. You’ve shown us by your continuous support of not only the family we’ve created but also of William and I’s relationship as a whole. Your strength to endure all that you have, still amazes me. You would be my first jail call (god forbid) and the person I’d have with me at the boy’s school when there is an issue. As I enter this new chapter in my life—your love and support means everything.
Alina Salazar
Flower Girl
My first niece! She's waited 4 years to be our flower girl and she is READY. The most sassy, intelligent, sweetest girl ever. Tia and tio are happy you agreed to walk down the aisle with us.
Liam and Brayden
Ring Bearers
OUR BOYS. THE LOVES OF OUR LIVES. The reason we do what we do and always strive for better.
Rey Salazar
Co-Matron of Honor
Rey, you are the most selfless and supportive person I know. Through thickkkk and thin (literally) we’ve had each others back. Even though you’re younger than me—it feels as though you’re my older sister, always showing me grace. How could I do my wedding without you? I can’t. Period.
Carlos Jimenez
Co-Best Man
Our friendship began in high school and has only grown stronger with time. Carlos has always been someone I can rely on; steady, supportive, and sincere. Having him as a co-best man is a privilege. Thank you brother.
Stephanie Lozano
Co-Matron of Honor
Gurrrrrrr. The moment our parents met—we bonded so quick. From singing “Fall for You” during the middle of the night at the top of our lungs (iykyk) to you throwing nail polishes at me during our first fight LOL (memories) thank you for loving every version of me and for being the little sister that keeps me and everyone else on our toes. Honored to have you by my side on my big day & in life <3
Andrew Warnica
Co-Best Man
Andrew has been my brother in arms that I could always rely on without question. He's stood with me through every high and low, and has always been a trusted friend. Having him as a co-best man means more to me than I could express. My fellow Marine, I appreciate you.
Maricruz Luna
Mother of the Groom
El amor de una madre no se compara con nada. Siempre estuviste a mi lado, en las buenas y en las malas. Los sacrificios que hiciste como mamá soltera para sacarnos adelante nunca se me olvidarán. Desde que entré a los Marines hasta ahora que tengo mi propia familia, tu amor ha sido mi guía. Gracias a Dios por tenerte a mi lado.
