Gabriela & Andrew
Wedding Party
Andrea Gaitan
Matron of Honor
Andrea, the Matron of Honor and the older sister Gabriela always wished for. They both have been stuck together like gorilla glue since the day they worked at Monterreys. The memories these two have created in the past 8 years have been some that will linger on forever. Andrea now lives in Louisiana with her amazing husband, where together they own a jewelry store, Cali & Co. Andrea is the life of the party. So if you’re not out dancing - watch yo’ self!
Cristian Ayala
Best Man
Cristian, who also goes by Chichan, is Andrew's best man. While they may be cousins, they're more like brothers. They share many fond memories together from summers in San Jose to random trips to Atlanta/Charleston and other cities. They're also festival buddies who have attended EDC twice and enjoyed shows every year since they could! Can't wait to see this man dance his butt off for the wedding with his signature moves!
Stephanie Salas
Bridesmaid
Stephanie is Gabriela’s younger sister and her best friend for life. If y’all didn’t know, Stephanie and Gabriela work together, after work they call each other, and on the weekends they are always hanging out. Clearly inseparable!! She’s a student at KSU following her business dreams. One of the things Gabriela admires from her sister is how dedicated and hardworking she has been from such a young age. She is a complete party animal who will most likely be the first one on the dance floor as soon as she hears Bad Bunny!
Alex Magaña
Groomsman
Alex is Andrew's older brother and quite possibly his closest friend in life. Though they may be 9 years apart, they sure act like they're only a couple years at most. They share nearly the same interests in every way and have been inseparable for a long time! From Andrew attending Kentucky to be closer to Alex to Alex's return to Atlanta - they have lived together and stuck through for many years. Alex's motivational speeches are a treat, maybe he'll give one at the wedding!
Alaina Brumley
Bridesmaid
Alaina, the girl who will make your hair go from 0 to 100 real quick! Gabriela and Alaina met while working at the same hair salon when Alaina made the first move and introduced herself. The best memories are at Starbucks every Friday morning before work and sharing their hair knowledge to grow bigger and better. She is creative, supportive, and hardworking although the list could go on. She is also an incredible wife and not to mention the best dog mom ever to her sweet Big Luke, aka Hammy Boy.
Austin Anderson
Groomsman
Austin and Andrew have been friends for over a decade. From playing basketball, taking AP classes together, to being college classmates, and more. They both have an insane passion for all kinds of music! Austin is the absolute life of the party and will be the first AND last on the dance floor without doubt. Austin loves to DJ on his free time, and while he won't be performing this wedding he will definitely be submitting suggestions to the DJ!
Elvia Zayas
Bridesmaid
The lovely Elvia is Gabriela’s high school friend. Some of their most memorable memories are from trying out for the girls soccer team, and after the first round they called quits lol. She is a nurse, so you best believe she’ll make sure everything and everyone is ok and under control! But not just because she’s a nurse doesn’t mean she doesn’t like a good Margarita and party time! She is super sweet and loves a good joke. If she doesn’t cry it wasn’t good enough and you better tell a better joke!
Fredy Gomez
Groomsman
Fredy Gomez, better known as Gredy Fomez! He and Andrew have been friends for as long as they can remember thanks to the restaurant business. Andrew has always seen Fredy as sort of a big brother even if their age difference is only a year. Fredy has always been a real one for visiting Andrew even though he lives in Michigan. Beware; this guy will make sure your belly is full... of alcohol and questionable decisions! Cannot wait to celebrate with Fredy!!!
Vanessa Reyes
Bridesmaid
The amazing Vanessa, the one who goes above and beyond for her kin. Gabriela and Vanessa met at a quinceñera a little over 2 years ago when they decided to take a shot together because why not. She is a genuine soul who loves making friends and getting to know everyone she meets. Every time Vanessa is in town it is tequila time, although one of them always ends up falling asleep lol. Tequila time means everyone is taking shots! Sooo for the wedding you better get ready for some tequila time, she’ll be watching!
Jony Ayala
Groomsman
Jonathan. Jony. Chony. But most importantly, El Chonaise. This is a man of many powers, but his most special power is the ability to reference a ridiculous amount of vines / tiktoks / reels. While Andrew and Jony weren't the closest growing up, the past few years have solidified their cousin-ship to another level. They are now inseparable when together and constantly pushing each other in their careers! Jony has a way with words and always has the perfect caption to describe the night.
Ruby Leon
Bridesmaid
Ruby and Gabriela met through Andrew, and became friends since. Through hot summer days at the pool to 7 drinks later at Dos Margaritas every Friday night. She has become another amazing friend in Gabriela’s life. Gabriela had the chance to be part of Ruby’s wedding day and is super excited for Ruby to be part of her big day as well. Ruby is a personal trainer and her passion for fitness and health is beyond belief. There is a slight chance she might be dancing till the end since she was also a Zumba instructor! Ruby is also an amazing wife and dog mom to her little Mango.
Abel Leon
Groomsman
Abel & Andrew have been best friends since infancy. While Abel may be younger, they treat each other like true brothers of the same age. From the jokes, to the serious talks, they're always at each other's side. These two have many memories as kids, but those memories haven't stopped. Since Abel moved closer to Atlanta, they've now been hanging out like they are kids again! You can rest assure Abel will do his best to make sure Andy is having the time of HIS LIFE.
