Cristina & Marvin
Wedding Party/ Cortejo Nupcial
Georgina Galindo
Maid of Honor
Cristina might not remember when Gigi was born, but all of a sudden there was this chubby baby following her around everywhere. Although Cristina always wanted to play sports and Gigi was always playing with her dolls they we're always together. Maybe not because Cristina wanted her around but because their mom always made Gigi go with her everywhere she went! Punches were thrown. Bodies were pushed. But no matter what, Gigi was strong and confident and everything in between. Gigi is funny, artistic, and is always there when you need her. Cristina might not have wanted her annoying little sister around when they were younger; but now she cannot get enough of her whenever their together. She's the best bridesmaid Cristina could have asked for.
Alex Palacios
Best Man
Alex is Marvin's big brother and best friend. Marvin always followed him around everywhere when they were younger and has always looked up to him. Alex is outgoing, funny, and he's someone Marvin can confide in when he needs someone to talk to. He's got the biggest heart and will always go out of his way to help the ones closest to him. Although they always fought growing up, their relationship has grown in so many ways. Alex is a brother, father, best friend, and his best-man at the wedding.
Daniela Aleman
Bridesmaid
Daniela is Cristina’s older sister and an amazing human. She's caring, understanding, and has always valued their relationship since they reconnected. Although they didn't grow up in the same house or even the same city, Cristina loves her as if they've known each other all their lives. They might not have been there for each other in the big moments. Graduations. Proms. Her Children's first moments. It's OK though because the seemingly big moments are never really that important. It's the small ones that really stick.
Nelson Palacios
Groomsman
Nelson is Marvins little brother. He's smart, a hard worker, and independent. Nelson enjoys the "good life" and is always up for new adventures. He never stops moving and is always up to something; whether its school, work, or going to Coachella. He's short and spicy! He's always loving and always puts family first. He's a great brother, a loving son, and a fun uncle. He's always making everyone laugh and doing it in style.
Maya Bautista
Bridesmaid
It’s hard to find friends like Maya. She’s someone that will listen to everything you have to vent about and then tell you like it is. Cristina and her can go stretches without talking and it won’t damage the relationship. Maya is the person you want around when you want to binge watch Netflix with for hours at a time and have fun during it. She is laid back, funny, and a great friend. She's the person Cristina can count on for a 'Treat yo self' day with some wine, steak, and just chatting about life, politics, books, and everything in between. Everyone needs a Maya in their life!
Javier Rodriguez
Groomsman
Jav and Marvin initially met at work when they started their journey as Linemen. Right off the bat they became friends and it has evolved to becoming part of each others family. Jav is independent, the life of the party, and a loving father. They might fight like brothers but they always have each others back.
Sara Granata
Bridesmaid
The first time Cristina saw Sara was freshmen year in college when she performed "Solo Tu" by Selena at the Latino Student Unions talent show. Sara is the most lovable, understanding, adventurous person with the biggest heart! She's been a roommate, a confidant, and a best friend. Sara is the best of both worlds wether you want to just stay in and watch documentaries or go out and have a great night with! Sara has a beautiful heart and soul and Cristina is lucky to have such a great friend!
Ramon Guzman
Groomsman
When Marvin moved to Lakewood he met his upstairs duplex neighbor, Ramon. They bonded over their love of video games and smoking Hookah. Their friendship progressed to the point that they would hang out every single day! Making both Cristina and Ramon's wife jealous of their bond. Ramon is shy, funny, smart, and always quotes Family Guy. Marvin can always count on Ramon when he needs someone to talk to over some coffee or rum and coke. Ramon started off as a neighbor but ended up becoming a best friend.
Melanie Muñoz
Bridesmaid
Melanie and Cristina met freshmen year of college when they were both still undecided on their major. Why they both decided later on to major in Political Science is still a mystery. Mel and Cristina's personalities are polar opposite - but thats what makes it fun! Melanie is outgoing, funny, and is always doing something extraordinary! She's always out and about and definitely hard to keep up with but Melanie is the type of person that will do anything for her friends.
Alex Alicea
Groomsman
Ever since Marvin met Alex, they have been tight since day one. Alex is the person you can call to really have a good time with. Whether your trying to have a deep conversation or drink margaritas with at a Mexican restaurant at 9 am. He's loyal, supporting, outgoing, and always there for you. He's challenges you to be a better you with how goal oriented he is and always so optimistic.
Luis Galindo
Officiant
Cristina met Luis when she was 5 years old, one day before her birthday, and he had the audacity of getting all the attention because of his birth. Although Luis was an annoying little brother who always charged money with interest if you asked a favor; Cristina will always have his back. He is an entrepreneur, a go getter, dreamer, and can make everyone in the room laugh at his random comments. Because of all his crazy personality traits, he was specifically chosen to be the officiant at the wedding and he’s not charging any money!
