Briana & Arsenio
Wedding Party
Alex Lazo
Maid of Honor
There are too many memories of you two that literally make my heart smile. At first I was recalling the night you guys got engaged but we recently went out and that moment trumped it all. We were all dancing and singing our hearts out. You two got stuck in a little bubble singing Superstar by Usher. I held back the tears because I knew in that moment that my baby cousin truly found her superstar! I know Junior would hang the moon for you to make you shine brighter.

Best Man
Junior and I met the summer of ‘07. We met during summer school of our freshman year at Amat. We had a class together and we started talking because I was the only freshman with a car. We have been friends ever since. Even though most people go their own ways after high school, we have managed to stay in touch. And that is the definition of Junior, a real friend.

I have known Briana since she was born. I would have to say, even though we have much more traveling to do my favorite memory with the couple is our travels so far! Nashville is probably my favorite so far because we did so much, from going to White Limozeen, Jack’s Daniels, the donut distillery, a walking ghost tour, and Broadway. We always make the best out of a situation whether it’s being 1 hr away from our air bnb and finding out Briana is lactose intolerant to having a rundown hotel in Cabo. It’s always an adventure with Briana and Junior…: “Will you be my friend” 🤣❤️

Hi, I have been Briana’s bestie since high school! In our 13 years of friendship, the first 2 months we did not know each other names. And from not knowing each others names we have now traveled to over 16 cities and 2 countries. One of which we went on a cruise and almost got left behind because we decided to have massive margaritas in the city. It was about a 15-20 minute drive back to the dock. Leave it up to us to confuse boat time and land time! We have maintained a beautiful friendship thousands of miles apart. I love you forever and always.

Bridesmaid
Hi, I’m Jazmin and I’m Junior’s sister. My favorite memory with Bri will always be the first day I met you♥️ I completely embarrassed myself by saying “hello b******”. I didn’t know you were there or else I would have just said, “hiiiiiii” or something not so crazy lol But you did not mind and from then on it became our thing! And from that moment on, I knew you were going to be my sister💕 I love our random adventures, whether it’s meeting up for chisme and lunch or venting sessions and happy hour.

Jr. Best Man
Thanks to our mother, Junior and I have known each other for my whole life, 20 years as of right now. To those that don’t know me, I am Nathan, arguably the favorite but for today, I’ll let Junior say otherwise. One memory that comes to mind that always makes me smile is when Junior was working out in Austin, Texas for In-N-Out and he brought me out for a couple of days to spend some time with me and get me to see something other than California. So, for one of the days we were going to go to this water park, but Junior told me to be in bed early so we can leave at 8 am or so. However, the night before, Junior and I, along with his roommate, decided it was a good idea to stay up to almost 2:30 walking around UT Austin playing Pokémon Go. As you may assume, we weren’t up by the time we had planned to be. It’s not the funniest memory but to a little boy that I was, this was one of the most fun nights I got to spend with my big brother.

So I’m really bad with memories. And don’t remember the exact first time I met Junior but I know it was at The Cove… But he did his “I love turtles impression” and the fact that Briana laughed and didn’t leave him then…That was good enough for me. All our best memories happen at The Cove. The ultimate memory has to be leaving The Cove and getting in the car. Junior is putting on his seatbelt and I ask him where the people in the back seat went. At that moment Junior freaked out because there was no one in the backseat…

There’s countless memories shared with these two, the one that stand out from all the others. Is the evening we had at Knott’s eating dinner and Briana had a Briana moment, while having a conversation about recently passed celebrities. We mentioned the passing of Vicente Fernandez, with a stone cold straight face she asked “he died”?!. It had us dying of laughter at the table for rest of the night. This night also stands because even after all that, that was the night Junior told me he had bought her ring and was going to propose.
Isabella Gonzalez
Jr. Maid of Honor
I’ve known Briana since I was born and she was 17 years old so that makes us 17 years apart. My favorite memory is when her and junior took me to Disneyland for my birthday it was so much fun because I got to meet goofy and Minnie Mouse. I like that we get to do things together and have a spa day, get Street tacos, or going shopping. I love when we get to to things together. And she gets me things for my birthday that I want !!! P.S. She still thinks she is 26 years old but she’s really 27 (don’t let her fool you). She is the best sister/Best friend I could wish for.💖

My favorite memory is of them spoiling me at Disneyland! They were brave enough to take me and give me everything I want. My nino even let me steal his most favorite meal- Mac and cheese. My Nina let me get down from my stroller and was chasing me around because “I need to walk”. They almost spilled their drinks because I decided to throw a tantrum and yet they still bought me toys and snacks! I love when my Nino comes over and plays with me because he lets me drive his car and wrestles with me!
