Wedding Party

Christopher Armas

Best Man

Chris is more than my brother - he’s my lifelong teammate, business partner, and best friend. We’re three years apart, but we’ve always been in sync. From sports and cars to fitness, and fashion. We’ve shared the same passions and drive. We’ve built things together - literally and figuratively - whether it’s a brand, a business, or a homemade squat rack in the garage. What makes our bond special is how we communicate. We know how to talk through anything, keep each other grounded, and push each other to be better men every day. We hold each other accountable and always show up. We’re true brothers in every sense, and we set the standard for what brotherhood should look like. Having Chris by my side means everything to me, and always will.


Karen Arias

Maid of Honor

My sister, my second mom, my best friend. There are no words that fully capture what she means to me. She has been by my side through every chapter of life, always loving me fiercely, protecting me without question, and knowing me better than I know myself. My sister has been my role model, my favorite concert buddy, the person who I’ve shared the most memories with. She’s seen this love story from the very beginning and has supported us every step of the way. Having her stand beside me on this day means everything because she’s stood beside me through every other special day in my life.

Josh Almonte

Groomsman

I met Josh during the final stretch of my own journey toward becoming a professional baseball player. From the moment we connected at Five Tool, there was mutual respect and a shared hunger to level up. Josh was always bigger, stronger, and more advanced than I was but that never created distance between us. If anything, it pulled me in closer. I knew that if I wanted to reach the next level, I had to surround myself with people like him. Driven, focused, and relentless in their pursuit of greatness. Josh never accepted mediocrity, not in himself and not in anyone around him. He always pushed harder, dreamed bigger, and led by example. That ambition hasn’t faded, it’s evolved. Now, as a father to his beautiful daughter Olivia, I see him pouring that same energy into her. The way he loves and guides her is a reflection of the man he’s always been. Having Josh by my side on my wedding day means having someone who’s inspired me, challenged me, and grown with me. He’s a brother in every way that counts and I’m proud to have him stand with me.


Alexa Dietrich

Bridesmaid

Weaz, the girl I met on the basketball court who quickly became my forever teammate. From day one, Alexa has been someone I can always count on to lift my spirits and make me laugh (usually for no reason at all). Our friendship is full of unforgettable stories, inside jokes, and memories that I’ll cherish forever. What started as a bond built on the court has turned into a sisterhood for life. I’ll never forget how we used to say we didn’t want to grow up and somehow, here we are, all grown up and still side by side. Having Alexa with me on this day means everything, because it wouldn’t be complete without her.

Brandon Armas

Groomsman

Brandon isn’t just my cousin, he’s a role model and someone I deeply admire. As a devoted family man, entrepreneur, and an investor, he leads by example in everything he does. His commitment to his values, his word, and the people he loves is unwavering. Brandon is the kind of man who inspires those around him to level up. Whether through his wisdom, his discipline, or the way he shows up as a father and leader. He doesn’t follow the crowd; he knows when to trust his instincts and take his own path. Having him stand by my side is an honor and a full-circle moment I’m truly grateful for.


Melissa Galarza

Bridesmaid

Melissa has been by my side since Pre-K, the kind of friend who’s more like family. From cheerleading to basketball, dance to softball, we’ve grown up together, step by step, phase by phase. We’ve shared laughter, tears, inside jokes, and so many self-love days that have become some of my favorite memories. She’s the one I’ve done life with and having her stand with me on this day is such a full-circle moment. I couldn’t imagine it without her.

Carlos Balmaceda

Groomsman

Carlos and I go way back to freshman year of high school, where our bond was built on the baseball field. I was the starting pitcher, and he was my catcher - the guy who called the shots behind the plate and caught a no-hitter I threw against our rivals. That moment says everything about who Carlos is: dependable, sharp, and always locked in. He’s a confident man who stands tall in the face of adversity, and he empowers others simply by being himself. Whether he’s leading with quiet finesse or raw intensity, Carlos knows how to set the tone. He reads the room like a pro, feeds off the crowd, and somehow always brings humor and energy wherever he goes. Outgoing, observant, and real - Carlos has always had my back, and I couldn’t imagine this day without him.


Michelle Deossa

Bridesmaid

Michelle was the first little cousin I ever grew close to.. she was my tiny shadow, always followed my lead and looked up to me. More than my cousin, Michelle is my sister. No matter the distance, our bond has never changed. We’ve shared everything from deep talks to singing our hearts out, party nights to TikTok marathons, and enough laughter to last a lifetime. Having her by my side on this special day means the world to me, because she’s been beside me for so many unforgettable moments already.

Josh Cruz

Groomsman

Josh and I go way back, literally to the same two-family home in Bellerose Terrace where we grew up together. Even though we’re eight years apart, Josh was always the guy I looked up to. The cool cars, the fresh Jordans, the whole vibe. He was already living the life I dreamed about as a kid. He showed me what was possible, and in many ways, he shaped the man I wanted to become. In 2012, when Josh chose me to be the godfather to his daughter Jaylynn, I was elated and truly honored. It was a moment that told me I had earned his respect, and that meant everything. Today, Josh is the definition of a family man. Hardworking, present, and proud. He sets the tone, not just for his kids, but for everyone who looks up to him. Watching him pour his heart into coaching Jacob on the baseball field reminds me of all the things I look forward to doing with my own son one day. I love Josh for who he is and for all that he does. A great cousin, a great man, and an even greater human being. I’m proud to call him family and even prouder to have him standing with me on one of the most important days of my life.


Carolyn Gallagher

Bridesmaid

I met Carolyn in high school, and from basketball games to shared classes, our bond grew into something truly special. Carolyn is the one person I can always turn to for deep, honest conversations . The kind that leave you thinking and feeling seen. She has the most beautiful soul and the rare ability to listen with her whole heart. One of my favorite memories is how we’d somehow end up on the same train cart at the same time every single day of High School..never planned, just perfectly aligned. That’s Carolyn: the kind of friend who enters your life like magic and reminds you to live it with joy, and no regrets. I love her with all my heart, and having her by my side on this day is a blessing I’ll never take for granted.

Kevin Lao

Groomsman

Kevin and I go all the way back to when we were just 4 or 5 years old, playing in the Queens youth baseball league, Asopec. Funny enough, we didn’t even realize we were neighbors until we first met on that baseball field. From the very beginning, Kevin has been more than just a friend - he’s been someone I could trust, confide in, and count on. Kevin is a true visionary and natural leader, grounded by strong core values and an unwavering dedication to his family. Over the years, he and I have shared countless conversations - whether about theology, politics, or life itself. We don’t always see eye to eye, but that’s what makes our bond so strong: the ability to talk about anything with respect, openness, and honesty. Kevin is the kind of friend who challenges me to think deeper, reconsider perspectives, and stay true to myself. I’ve always admired his well-rounded outlook and his ability to balance conviction with humility. More than anything, I know he’s someone I can always depend on - and I’m honored to have him standing by my side on this day.


Wendy Deossa

Bridesmaid

Wendy came into my life as an older cousin, but quickly became a role model and someone I deeply admire. She’s the one who first opened my eyes to my feminine energy, always reminding me of my beauty, my power, and making me feel truly seen. We’ve shared more holidays and birthdays together than I can count, and she’s always brought love, light, and unforgettable memories to every one of them. Whether we’re being silly, laughing until we cry, dancing until sunrise, or singing our hearts out at Karol G concerts, every moment with Wendy is full of joy. Our relationship is something I hold close to my heart, and I couldn’t imagine this day without her by my side.

Justin Ramos

Groomsman

I met Justin in the early years of my adult life, not knowing how many mutual friends we already shared. But from the very beginning, our connection was real. What drew me to Justin was his love for fitness, his loyalty to his family especially his mother, and the beautiful bond he shares with his stepfather, Angelo. That kind of love and respect is rare, and witnessing it has always stayed with me. Justin is selfless at his core. He’s thoughtful, intentional, and always looking out for the people around him. He loves to host, to bring people together, and to make sure everyone’s having a good time, a trait we definitely share. We’ve played just about every sport together - baseball, football, softball, basketball and made countless memories jet skiing the Hudson or spending summers in both Queens and Miami. Through it all, Justin has always shown up as a role model and a positive force. He’s conscious of the energy he brings into a space, and he refuses to let his presence drag others down. Instead, he lifts people up, and that’s something I truly admire. Having Justin stand with me on this day is having someone by my side who brings light, loyalty, and love everything you want in a brother, a friend, and a groomsman.
