The Besties & Co.
María Carvajal
Bridesmaid
Eli and María have been inseparable since they were 13 years old in Venezuela. From their school days to building their lives here in the United States, María has been Eli's unconditional support through every step and challenge along the way. More than a bridesmaid, she is a sister by choice an essential presence who has been there for every milestone and whose place by Eli's side at the altar was simply meant to be.
Sean Sinn
Groomsman
Sean and Nick have been friends since the 3rd grade. Since then Sean has witnessed everything, the highs and lows. Even though Nick has been incredibly stubborn and has only taken 10% of his advice in the moment, his information was (almost) always valuable and he stuck by his side through it all.
Arianna Tablante
Bridesmaid
A lifelong friendship that began when they were just 11 years old. From growing up together in church to being inseparable classmates in school, Arianna and Eli have grown up side-by-side, supporting each other through every season of life. Having her as a bridesmaid today, after so many years and life-changing journeys, is a testament to a loyalty that knows no borders and a truly priceless gift for this special day
Jacob Richardson
Groomsman
Jacob and Nick met in college and after somewhat randomly crossing paths in a friend's dorm room, they have been friends ever since. After many late nights in serious (and not so serious) discussion they are truly inseparable and have become men together.
Josmary Salazar
Bridesmaid
Josmary is a gift that life gave Eli two years ago in this country. Beyond her support through tough times and the joy she brings to every adventure, she came with a wonderful family included. She and her parents have become Eli’s chosen family, a constant reminder that home isn't a place, but the people who walk the path with you.
Jeremiah Simerman
Groomsman
Jeremiah and Nick have been friends since kindergarten and after many many long nights of playing call of duty through middle school and being 7 hours apart, they have forged a lifelong friendship that has been tested time and time again.
Madi Springer
Bridesmaid
Sister of the Groom: Madi is not only Nick's sister, but a true sister to Eli. Her sweetness and empathy made Eli feel welcome from day one. Eli is grateful that Nick is her life partner, but also that he gave her a new family and the gift of having Madi as a sister
Cade Watson
Groomsman
Cade and Nick met just over 2 years ago at Covenant. Cade and Nick spend a lot of time debating theology, dreaming about buying land in rural middle Tennessee, and solving all of the world's problems (conceptually).
