Wedding Party

Stephanie Rivera-Beltre

Matron of Honor

While we don't always see eye to eye, I couldn't be more blessed to have an older sister like Stephanie. She has always looked out for me, been there when I didn't even know I needed her to be and has always been one of my biggest supporters. By far, one of the the most selfless people that I know, thank you for being my Matron of Honor and being by my side when I say I do to my soulmate.

Desiree Luna

Maid of Honor

My best friend of 10+ years, I love you. Although distance has often kept us apart, you are my rock and keep me grounded when I need it most. While Cameron is my soulmate, it's surely a title he's going to have to share with you! We've shared tears, laughter and accomplishments throughout the year and I know in a few decades, you'll still be right by my side. Thank you for always being my biggest supporter and being there for me when I need it the most. Grateful to have you in my life!

Yizary Polanco

Bridesmaid

Since the day we met, I've loved Yizary like the little sister I never knew I so desperately wanted. Like relationships, some friendships (like ours) are just meant to be. I honestly don't know if I would've made it through college without you. You've always kept me grounded and pushed me to be my best self. When we're together, it's just pure laughter and joy. Regardless of how much time has passed, it's as if we've never missed a beat. I couldn't picture saying "I do" without this amazing woman by my side.

Jelissa Toro

Bridesmaid

A friendship that's spanned over 12 years, Jelissa's friendship and guidance has truly been a gift. Jelissa has always been like an older sister to me, since meeting her my freshman year at Cornell. From our weekend car rides to Ithaca Mall to living together in the South Bronx, her love and unwavering support is like no other. Jelissa is one of the truest, kindest and funniest women I know and I am so blessed to have her at my side.

Celinet Duran

Bridesmaid

How many of us can say we have a friendship that's spanned 20 years? Celinet and I met at MS 51 in 2000, two Dominican girls in a Performing Arts school just trying to get through middle school. Though time and distance has sometimes physically kept us apart, two decades later you are and will always be the Thelma to my Louise. I love you amiga and am thrilled to have you by my side as I say "I do".

Stephanie Guzman

Bridesmaid

Stephanie is one of the sweetest and most down to earth women that I know. Since the time we met, I knew that she would grow to be one of dearest friends, and I was right. Stephanie has always been there for me throughout the years and I couldn't imagine walking down the aisle without someone that has always made me smile, laugh and consistently reassures me that everything will work out. I appreciate your love and friendship more than words could ever say and I am so thankful to have you in my life!

Ken Clarke Jr.

Best Man

Three words...my big brother. Our families reluctantly moved us to Ithaca, NY around the same time and we've been friends ever since. Met on the basketball court, bonded through Madden, moved to Miami and have supported each other every step of the way. We've got stories no one will ever know, and more that people do know but will never understand (e.g., Abe Lee's history class, my support of DJ Augustine, choosing my jersey numbers after Jameer Nelson and Andre Miller, late nights in Kendall, etc.). Happy to have you by my side on this big day bro. We've made a lot of big decisions with the support of one another, so I couldn't imagine doing this any other way.

Ruben Abramov

Groomsman

I swear Kenny tried to keep all his friends separate but we bonded anyway. You made my senior year of college fun, driving around Ithaca, drinks with Matt and hooking us up with VIP treatment at Sheldrake. You made my first consulting assignment in Boston enjoyable, even though we weren't able to hang out as much as we would have liked. You've challenged me on just about every worldview I've ever had, and I'm probably better off for it. You introduced me to the sneaker game, explained what discord was and even helped me make a few dollars in the process. I appreciate you Roob (swear it was spelled Rube this entire time...smh), happy to have you with me on this big day.

Emani Fenton

Groomsman

Literally no one can give me solid professional advice, make me laugh and then piss me off in the span of 5 minutes like you can. All jokes aside man, we became closer after college (through fantasy football and madden of all things) and bonded through unwavering support of the Washington Redskins and your fairweather support of the Wizards. Your recommendation opened up a career path that I will always be thankful for, and your advice / guidance has helped me succeed. From NYC, to DC to Vegas to Montserrat we've had some good times with plenty more ahead. Also....thank you for agreeing to be in this wedding even though you couldn't use your Marriott points.

AJ Rusk

Groomsman

What can I say about Bane man.....sorry I meant Kimbo, Jr.....damn...I mean AJ. At the time of writing this I've yet to make it to his home of Houston, TX but I'll get there before the wedding and this blurb will probably change drastically as a result. We met in a fantasy football league, partied in Vegas and now argue with each other daily in a group chat. He is truly one of the most motivated individuals I've ever met, who will always find a way to make the best out of any situation. His drive and grind are truly unmatched by anyone I've ever met and I'm honored to have him be a part of this big day.

Chris Dennis

Groomsman

The greatest fantasy football commissioner of our lifetime. Also slept in my living room for a few weeks one summer, and may also have been the world's youngest Vice President. We crossed paths in a variety of ways during college and then started talking more through fantasy football, madden leagues and Call of Duty. This man managed a whole league, got an MBA and held down a full-time job at the same damn time. I appreciate you being apart of this whole thing man!

Andrew Rivera

Groomsman

Vanessa's older brother who she looks up to and admires greatly. He's probably the most intimidating individual that I've met at my same height...so probably a good thing we've only met in person twice haha. Happy to have you as a part of this wedding, as I know you've helped make Vanessa into the amazing person that she is today.

Sabai Fenton

Flower Girl
