Wedding Party
Gabrielle Lopez
Maid of Honor
Gabby and Claudia got paired up in high school for a drama production of Scene Fest. Later in Spanish class, Gabby turns to Claudia asking, "Do you know who Claudia Lua is?" The rest is history.
Alejandra Rivas
Maid of Honor
If you ask around, you'll find a photo of Alejandra and Claudia in preschool raising their hands for Jesus. They reconnected in second grade and went through emo phases together. And well, the rest is history.

Me and David. Me out 1st year of college, I was struggling in the class and he was killing it to say the least. I finally asked for help and from then on we have become brothers, "Brothers by choice not by blood."

When I think of Claudia and David my first memory is always Claudia off traveling through Europe & David showing up to our house for my grandmas 80th birthday party alone with a gift and a bottle of liquor. I said damn he must really love her to come alone, he must be Hispanic YAAYYY he’s the one !!!!!

David and I met in middle school about ten years ago, since then we have been very close. I consider him one of my best friends, he's like a brother to me. We have unforgettable memories and I am grateful to life for our friendship.

Hi I’m Natalie Claudia’s cousin. I remember on Christmas 2017 Claudia was texting and smiling at her phone and it ends up being this guy that she was talking to named David. And look at them now. Congrats to the couple. I can’t wait for the wedding!

David and I first talked back in middle school then in high school. We became friends into brothers. He and I spent our entire high school years sitting next to each other due to our last names. Leal and Le. Im grateful to have been a Le because I got to meet a new brother “David Leal”. Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity. by Khalil Gibran

Here's my memory's of David I would like to share I met David my first year of highschool & I've been fortunate to see him grow & succeed in everything that he does. My favorite 2 memories would have to be when we would go to jack in the box after school & basically buy as many tacos as we could afford & feast up. It was so unhealthy but we enjoyed ourselves. Another memory would have to be when we went camping with a group of friends. I remember David had this idea that we should go semi off-roading in his truck. But since there were so many of us, some would have to sit in the truck bed & of course I was one of those people, voluntarily I should add. We didn't know how bumpy the road was and with every bump we were lifted higher in the air. It went from initial laughter & joking to everyone looking serious and terrified. We were holding on for dear life! David said that he felt really bad that he put us in danger like that, but honestly that was one of the best times I've had and I'll never forget it.

David and I met through the fraternity when i attended cal state Fullerton. Through the fraternity he became my big bro. I've always looked up to him and he's always been that true bro to me through the fun and tough times.
Claudia Lua
Bride
David and I were set up on a blind date in college and although that date went extremely well and we hit it off, I never thought we would end up here 4 years later. I am so happy and grateful that it ended up working out and I am with the man I love. He has gone above and beyond supporting and loving me. I knew he was a keeper when he showed up to my grandmas 80th birthday party when I was unable to go due to studying abroad. I still remember creating our guest list for our wedding together a year before he even proposed to me. We knew we were meant for each other. I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with him and be Mrs. Leal ❤️
David Leal
Groom
Claudia and I met on a blind date to a dance for my fraternity. We kicked it off really well that night and would invite each other to all our parties/events. Before I graduated from college I got a job offer from a big company but it was a 2 year rotational program meaning every 6 months I would work in a different state. She unselfishly supported my decision if I wanted to take it. Understanding that she was willing to sacrifice our relationship for my future was something only my family had ever done when I decided to go to college away from home. Ever since then, I knew she was the person I wanted to spend the rest of my life with, regardless if I decided to accept the offer or not I wanted to propose to her. So I decided to do so for my graduation.
