Yahaira & Ethan
The Wedding Party
Jessica Hornedo
Maid of Honor
Yahaira and Jessica are cousins, but more like sisters and have been the best of friends since birth. Without a doubt Jessica is Yaris greatest confidant. Her loyalty, strength, and passion are second to none. Yari wouldn’t trade her even for the finest pearls in the world (they both love pearls). Blessed are the ones who have someone by their side their entire life. They live thousands of miles apart now, but their bond is forever strong. Yari is estatic to have her number one cheerleader be the Maid of Honor on her Special Day.
Cody Cottingham
Best Man
Ethan and Cody are cousins by blood, but they share a bond like brothers. They have always stuck by each others side since they have been in diapers. The brotherhood they share is unbreakable which definitely makes Cody the "Best Man" for the job.
Jessica Alejandro
Maid of Honor
Jessica has been a light of happiness in Yahaira’s life since the young age of fourteen. Yari once heard, we all have a living Guardian Angel, and she truly believes that because Jessica is heaven sent. The Bride could not have made it this far without someone as special as Jessica Alejandro by her side, truly one of a kind! Jessica holds a big place in Yaris heart.
Scott Patterson
Groomsman
For 22 years, and counting, the thrill of adventure is what fuels the flames of Ethan and Scott's companionship. Scott is as genuine as they come, and his passion for the outdoors rivals Ethan's. Whether it's catching hardheads down on the Texas coast, dirt biking in the country, scuba diving in the Caribbean, snowboarding in the Rocky Mountains, or another classified Ranch trip, Scott is always on the ready. Hunting/Fishing buddies for life!
Erika Chavez
Bridesmaid
Yari & Erika met in 2015 when Yari first moved to Texas. In the beginning they were just bypassing friends, but after some time of getting to know one another their relationship blossomed into something beautiful. Their love for Jesus Christ is unmatched. They have the best of times together, from traveling down to Corpus Christi, Texas for some fun, finding an open pizzeria at 12 AM, to Erika introducing Yari to her Mexican culture. Erika doesn’t skip a beat when it comes to being there for the ones she loves. She is a lovely wholehearted friend and Yari feels special to have found such a wonderful amiga here in Texas.
Sergio Ruiz
Groomsman
Goofing around in 6th grade band class is when Sergio and Ethan first met, and their friendship flourished from there. Sergio is a true bro and the epitome of a best friend. If your in need of a good laugh, or just someone to talk to Serg is your man. Gathered around a fire on The Ranch with a beer in hand laughing at only God knows what is the perfect setting for these two chums.
Isabel Culpepper
Bridesmaid
Before officially moving to Texas Yari came down to visit Ethan, naturally this is when she became acquainted with his family. Isabel is the Groom's one and only sibling, and a beautiful person inside and out. She is a stunning young lady with lots of love to give to those who love her back. Yari is more than excited to have Isabel as a sister now (shes always wanted one). Here’s to being the best sister-in-laws anyone has ever seen 😊.
Vincent Hu
Groomsman
Sports are the reason for the start of Vincent and Ethan's friendship. They met at Hobby Middle School and played football and basketball together. Vincent's hard work ethic and competitive nature show in every aspect of his life, nevertheless he is not a stranger to having a good time. Now, as a successful businessman, he finds little time for himself, but still manages to maintain a solid connection with close friends.
Sara Gucciardi
Bridesmaid
Sara is Yahaira’s brother's Fiancée, and also the mother to her sweet handsome nephew Mal’akhi. The bride has known Sara for eight years now and since the first time they met, Sara has always been so bubbly, kind and supportive. Her enthusiasm for seeing others happy is comparable to Yari's. Sara is a kindhearted soul and a great friend.
Bobby Rubin
Groomsman
The first true friendship Ethan made was with Bobby. They lived on the same street a few houses apart from each other, and met on the bus in first grade. Everyday after school they would always make plans to meet up at the cliff on their street after the bus dropped them off. With snacks in hand they would hop on their bikes and ride to their "secret clubhouse". Nowadays Bobby is thousands of miles away in The Big Apple, but that matters very little because Bobby's allegiance will stand the test of time and distance.
Sofia Ramirez
Flower Girl
Daughter to the bride, Sofia is undeniably the most important person in Yari's life. At 8 years old Sofia is super sweet and has a genuine heart just like her Mamas. She is full of personality, spunk, and doesn't miss out on an opportunity on the dance floor. Life of the party! Sofia and her mom are inseparable! Watch out because this beautiful flower girl might just steal your heart.💐
Mal’akhi Ramirez
Ring Bearer
Mal’akhi is Yahaira’s four year old nephew who is tiny and adorable! Mal’akhi is full of life and charisma. He’s got the coolest hair and all the charm in the world. Bold and bright Mal'akhi is always ready to talk your ear off ☺️. He brings lots of joy to your heart and a smile to your face.
