Officiant
Some question our friendship. It's understandable. Having met at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University our friendship began to flourish shortly after freshman year. Through numerous camping trips, riding four-wheelers throughout the Arizona mountains, we have been through a lot. From the college days to living together in Chicago, Joseph would be the one to introduce me to Paige over breakfast one summer morning. It is only fitting that he be the officiant to the big day.
Maid of Honor
My one and only sister, Kate tortured and teased me our whole childhood. Despite it all we somehow ended up as best friends and partners in crime. Whether its a Saturday morning breakfast, gym time, or climbing up Kilimanjaro, Kate has always been there for me and I couldn't imagine having anyone else by my side. I mean that pretty literally, we only live .5 miles from one another and talk every single day.
Best Man
My good ol' brother Esteban...aka..Steve. While we argue a good majority of the time, he has always been the guy I can count on for just about anything. For now he is following similar footsteps and studying in Arizona. Someday he may very well be my next flight student learning to cruise the skies. He is just the guy I want next to me on the big day.
Groomsman
Well what is there to say...Travis checks all the boxes. From being a proud Texan, to operating airplanes somewhat safely, but most importantly...he is the proud owner of an SRT4. Ok, scratch that last one, thats just unfortunate. All kidding aside, Travis has been a standup guy Ive been able to confide in going back to the early college days before we were licensed to fly.
Bridesmaid
Whether road-tripping while “jamming” to coffee house radio or separated by states, Jackie has remained by my side since the start of high school. A true friend I can always count on, she’s been around for every milestone of my life since our friendship began. Through tears and laughs from the last 16 years I’m so blessed to have her with me on my wedding day.
Groomsman
Jose and I go back to the pre-school Los Pepitos days. My OG best friend from the start. From pre-school competitions, playing basketball against each other at the Alamodome, to me being the fortunate subject of his senior film project...its been quiet the journey thus far.
Bridesmaid
Jess is truly one of those people I can always count on. We didn’t know where life would take us during those high school days but I am so grateful we have been able to stick together. Although Josh stole her away to Iowa she’s still one of my best friends to this day. No matter what craziness could happen on my wedding day, I have no fear all will be solved with with Jess at my side!
Groomsman
Kike and I go back a ways. From picking the guy up for school in the morning, to some serious relationship advice (which was needed often)..he has always been one of the most reliable, loyal friends I got. He's one the first people I call when I visit home and proud to call him up to be with me on the big day up there.
Groomsman
Avedillo and I go back to the high school days. Undoubtedly, one of the smartest guys I know...without him passing Calculus AP would have been an impossibility. He's always been a reliable friend I can reach out to day or night with any concern I come up with. Proud to have him up there with me on the big day.
Bridesmaid
Not only has Monica been by my friend since we were kids but she was also by my side on my engagement day. We grew up every summer together - swimming, eating ice cream and avoiding all the scary things Montello has to offer. Just look at us now...sometimes we sit outside in the dark! Boy have the times changed!
