Our Parents As we stand here today, ready to begin this new chapter, our hearts are filled with overwhelming gratitude for the people who have shaped, guided, and loved us unconditionally our parents. You have been our strength, our safe place, and our greatest teachers. Through every sacrifice you made and every moment you stood by our side, you showed us the meaning of true love. Your patience, resilience, and belief in us have left a mark on our hearts that we will carry forever. It’s because of you that we understand the beauty of commitment. Love is not just in grand gestures, but in the quiet moments laughter around the table, late-night talks, and the way you held on through life’s storms. You taught us that love is a choice we make every single day. Today, as we promise to walk this path together, we do so with the lessons you’ve given us. Your love has built the foundation of the life we are creating. We hope to reflect even a fraction of the kindness, dedication, and strength you have shown us. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. Thank you for showing us how to love deeply, forgive fully, and stand by each other no matter what. We love you more than words can say. With all our love and endless gratitude, Esmeralda & Rene

Nuestros Padres Hoy, mientras comenzamos este nuevo capítulo juntos, nuestros corazones están llenos de una profunda gratitud por las personas que nos han formado, guiado y amado incondicionalmente: nuestros padres. Ustedes han sido nuestra fortaleza, nuestro refugio y nuestros mejores maestros. Con cada sacrificio que hicieron y cada momento en que estuvieron a nuestro lado, nos mostraron el verdadero significado del amor. Su paciencia, resiliencia y fe en nosotros han dejado una huella imborrable en nuestros corazones. Es gracias a ustedes que entendemos la belleza del compromiso. El amor no se trata solo de grandes gestos, sino de los momentos más simples: las risas alrededor de la mesa, las charlas hasta tarde y la forma en que enfrentaron las tormentas de la vida. Nos enseñaron que amar es una elección que hacemos cada día. Hoy, al prometer caminar juntos por este camino, lo hacemos con las lecciones que nos han dado. Su amor ha sido la base sobre la cual estamos construyendo nuestra vida. Solo esperamos reflejar una parte del cariño, la dedicación y la fuerza que ustedes nos han mostrado. Desde lo más profundo de nuestros corazones, gracias. Gracias por enseñarnos a amar de verdad, a perdonar con el alma y a permanecer juntos sin importar lo que venga. Los amamos más de lo que las palabras pueden expresar. Con todo nuestro amor y eterna gratitud, Esmeralda & Rene

Best Man
To My Dad, My Best Friend As I prepare for one of the most important days of my life, I find myself thinking about how lucky I am to have you by my side. You’ve been so much more than a father you’ve been my confidant, my role model, and my greatest supporter. Your guidance has shaped me into the man I am today. Through your words and actions, you’ve shown me what it means to love deeply, stand strong, and face life with courage. Some of my favorite memories are the simplest ones the laughter we’ve shared, the lessons you’ve taught me, and the quiet moments that needed no words. Now, as I step into this new chapter, I carry those lessons with me. Knowing I have your support means everything. You’ve shown me how to be a good partner, a loyal friend, and a kind-hearted man. It’s an honor to have you standing with me, not just as my dad, but as my best friend. Thank you for your endless love and the unwavering belief you’ve always had in me. I will cherish that forever. I love you, Dad. With all my heart, Your Son

Maid of Honor
To My Sister, My Maid of Honor Isabel, having you as my maid of honor is one of the greatest joys of this day. You’re not only my sister but also my best friend the person who has been by my side through every chapter of my life. From our silly childhood adventures to the late-night heart-to-hearts, every memory with you is one I hold close to my heart. You’ve always been my source of strength, laughter, and unconditional love. You know how to lift me up when I’m down and celebrate with me when life feels beautiful. There’s a comfort in knowing that no matter where life takes us, I’ll always have you, my constant, my sister, my forever friend. Thank you for being my rock, my support, and the beautiful soul that you are. It means everything to have you standing by my side as I take this next step. I couldn’t imagine this day without you. I love you more than words can say, and I’m endlessly grateful to call you my sister. With all my heart, Esmeralda
