Margie and Carlene have known each other the least amount of time and you would never be able to tell.

There honestly cannot be enough said about Kelly. She has known Carlene since 2016 they use to work on the same floor at the hospital and Kelly is Carlene’s second mother. She has been there for Carlene always and is one of the most beautiful souls Carlene has ever had the privilege of getting to come across in this crazy world.

She is truly a blessing to come and stay in Carlene’s life and the couple couldn’t be more honored than to have Kelly be their officiant!

Dana has been a loving mother who has had to take on both of the roles for all of her kids, if anyone could do it though it’s her. Everyday Carlene becomes more and more like her mom and that’s not a bad thing. Dana is known for being one of the kindest people you will ever meet and she knows how to make anyone laugh without even trying. Carlene is so blessed to have her for a mother and can’t wait to have Dana walk her down the aisle to give away her “little stinky jelly bean” what she has called Carlene since she was born. Joseph is a lucky man getting this woman as his mother in law!

They are so excited to make Joseph their dad officially on the big day and make the family complete!
Billy
Father of the Groom
Joseph’s father and role model in life. Billy Granado took the responsibility of helping in the raising of Joseph. In the 27 years that Joseph has been on this earth Billy is one of the few people that stood by him thick and thin. While although not biologically related, Billy has given Joseph the privilege that not many other boys grew up have had. Which was the privilege of having a father, Billy taught Joseph the value of hard work, respect, and integrity. It is both a honor and privilege for Joseph to call this man his Dad.
Jonathon
Best Man
Jonathan and Joseph met at the hospital one day and they started talking about anime and hit it off ever since and became family. Jonathan is a great confidante and always knows how to lighten the mood at the right times. The reason why Jonathan was chosen with the responsibility of being the best man is that amongst the three chosen for the title of best man, Jonathan is literally Joe but tall.
Maria
Mother of the Groom
Where to even begin with this woman… if there was such a thing to refer to as a foundation it would be Maria. If there ever was to be a standard it would be Maria. Everybody has a mother but not everyone has a Ma. Someone who never gave up on you even when all else thought you might fail. Someone who always made sure you tried your best even when you wanted to give up. There is no one else on this earth like Ma. Often imitated but never duplicated, this woman is why Joseph is who he is.
Yadira Roman
Mother of the Groom
Ma Yadira is the amazing woman that gave birth to Joe. They share the exact same sense of humor and as she likes to say have the same nose. Ma Yadira is also where Joe gets his stubbornness from and his good looks. Joe wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for Ma Yadira. We are so happy for her to be a part of our big day.
Hank
Groomsman
Joe met Hank at the hospital where they both were working nights. The two became great friends while enjoying game nights with the rest of their commander crew on a regular basis. Joe is so very lucky to have this guy as one of his groomsmen to help him during his big day.
Tony
Groomsman
Tony and Joe met through Hank during game night, they quickly found out they share a lot of similarities in interests whether it’s their love for movies and anime or art. Joe can’t wait to have Tony by his side oh his wedding day and call him a dear friend.
