Our Wedding
Wedding Party
Ashley Velazquez
Maid of Honor
Ashley is my middle sister, there is no one that can make me laugh harder than her. She is the clown of our family and has the best dance moves. I wish I could say that I loved her since the day I knew she was coming into this world but the truth is I did not want another sibling. Once I eased up about the idea of having a sister I was obsessed with her. We are always wrestling or taunting one another in the most loving way. I appreciate her so much and am truly blessed to have a sister like her. Our family would be so boring without her even though she is the typical annoying little sister.
Geronimo Tonchez
Best Man
Geronimo is my older brother, he got the best man role by default only because dogs are not allowed at the Church. In all seriousness i'm grateful to have my brother as my best man. We may not always see eye to eye but we share our love for football, beer, and tejano music. I couldn't give him the best man role without him having to work for it so I planned a trick on him and said my best man was Ray. That did not go over well as expected but I had to give him a hard time. When I finally told him he was my best man he was excited.
Brianna Velazquez
Maid of Honor
Brianna is my youngest and coolest sister. Even though we are 10 years apart we still have the best relationship. You can always find her smiling or laughing her way through life, something I really admire about her. Even though she is my little sister I always rely on her to keep me cool and in the loop of all the trends (she will cringe reading this.) I am so blessed to have her by my side on one of the most important day so my life. I cannot wait to see all of the dance moves she busts out on the dance floor.
Ray Guerrero
Groomsman
I've e known Ray since he sold watches back in the day. Ive known Ray since Kat Williams made fun of him at a gas station. I've know Ray since before he was a balla, shot caller with Q's 22inch rims on his impala. I've saved Rays life multiple times and he owes me. Ray and I have been hanging out for awhile now and nothing changes, well I don't think hes about that life anymore. I still remember the time that I found out that that we share brain waves and he thinks what I think. One time I was poking him and he grabbed my finger and and I told him "Shifu didn't teach you the Mushi finger," he laughed really hard before he said "I figured it out skaaduussh." Now for those of you who don't know where that comes from, its from movie called Kungfu panda look it up good movie.
Erika Velazquez
Bridesmaid
Erika is like my third sister, really! We are only a month apart and grew up doing everything together, so much that when we were not together people asked where the other was at. She is like another little sister to me who I always took care of and wanted to protect. I was truly blessed to have a cousin that I was so close to. You could often find us wearing the same clothes, finishing each other's sentences, ordering the same food, and being attached to the hip. In high school teachers would call us "the Velazquez sisters.' I am so happy to have her stand next to me on my wedding day.
Ivan Velazquez
Groomsman
Ivan is my soon to be brother in law. He has always been our supporter since day one and we really appreciate that about him. He always has a great outlook on life that is admirable. I enjoy talking Eagles football with him and glad I can share the first Superbowl win with him. Ivan is like my little brother and I always look out for him. I'm honored for Ivan to be by my side and I'm happy he will be my brother in law.
Wendy Lowe
Bridesmaid
Wendy is one of my older cousins who is like a big sister to me. She is one of my closest cousins who I talk fashion with and where to get the best deals (more like I tell her where to get the best deals). One of the most distinct characteristics of Wendy is her laugh, a Wendy laugh can make anyone laugh. I am glad she gets to see her little girl as she calls me, walk down the isle. I am also glad she let me borrow her entire family to be part of our wedding.
Jeremy Alderete
Groomsman
Jeremy, if that is his real name. He is one of my first friends I met when I moved to San Marcos. We always had a good time at work and at the square. He's always been there in my time of need, he's about that life. I once caught him dancing at work and it was awkward . He also cut me off the road once and didn't even know it was me so I got behind him and kept hoking at him for half a mile. We then pulled up to the light and much to his surprise it was me laughing hysterically. The point is never a dull moment with Jeremy (if that is his real name) even in the most awkward situations.
Lorena Ashinhurst
Bridesmaid
Lorena and I met when she moved to Schulenburg our freshman year. We didn't become instant friends but when once we started hanging out we immediately became great friends. Until this day she is still one of my greatest friends and I truly appreciate her friendship. She is such a caring friend and always makes time to chat and catch up. We always have such a great time together and I can't wait to share all the festivities with her. Friends like her are hard to find and I am so happy to share this life event with her.
Trever Roberts
Groomsman
I've known Trever for 11 years now and he gets grumpier every year. He even reminds me of grumpy cat. All kidding aside Trever has been a great friend throughout the years. We have become such good friends that even his family treats me like as part of their own. I am known as Uncle Juan to his kids and nieces and I really enjoy spending time with his family. I am so glad that he can be a part of our special day.
Rebecka Gartman
Bridesmaid
Then there is Rebecka, oh Rebecka! We met when she moved to Schulenburg in the 5th grade and she has been one of my funniest and entertaining friends. I have so much fun when we hang out and we laugh at anything and everything. I always have Rebecka stories to tell that have been so crazy that they are unforgettable, that is the kind of friend she is. I appreciate that our friendship is so easy and we can always pick up where we left off. I'm glad she'll be by my side so she can continue to make me laugh.
James Schindler
Groomsman
James literally befriended me from the minute that I met him. James is the first friend I met when I moved to San Marcos which is funny because are from the same area but never met him. There are many great qualities about James but one that I appreciate the most is that he goes above and beyond to help anyone in need. James and I clicked when he told me he was an Eagles fan and I was also able to share the first super bowl win with him. Hey...do you remember the time when James showed up at half time and the Eagles won the Superbowl?
Perla Taylor
Bridesmaid
My friendship with Perla is one of the longest since we met when we were little. She was Erika's neighbor and always came over to play. When she moved to my school we never had the same classes until freshmen year and then she asked me to go to lunch with her. From that day on we have had so many fun and crazy memories some that I cannot talk about, actually many I can't talk about. Anyway, when I think about our friendship I think about all the hard laughs.
David Romero
Groomsman
I have been friends with David since I was 15 years old nothing has really changed between us since then. We still love to kick some back even though he was punishing himself by drinking miller for awhile I'm glad he got out of that stage. Too many memories to share with David, the one that my fiance likes to remind me of is the one where I went to help David put up Christmas lights and I showed up to his house at 9 in the morning. This dude is already on the roof with an 18 pack and long story short the lights never got put up that day. I have a tendency to be late to things so when David got married he went out of his way to make sure I was there on time. Well David or Hot Bod as they call him now its your turn to be on time.
Miyah Tonchez
Jr. Bridesmaid
Miyah, Miyah Monkey, Monkey, Monk, Brownie, Pizza Miyah, Miyahmoto, Weirdo, are some of the nicknames for my monkey, She is my only niece and I love her very much. She means the world to me. My favorite memory with monkey is when she was a baby she would call her daddy( my brother ) by his first name Geronimo... funny stuff. I look forward to being a part of her life and love watching her become a beautiful young lady. -Tio I have known Miyah since since before she was even born and now she is a little lady. I would always call her monkey and we shared friendship bracelets. She never ever ever failed to make me laugh whether it be that she stepped in dog poop or called her dad Geronimo. I knew she had to be part of this day. Love you Mimi -Tia
Jacob Tonchez
Groomsman
Jacob or Cake Boi as we call him is my only nephew. The story behind the name is when we has younger he used to say his name was Cakeob so we just called him Cakes and Cake Boi when he got older. Jacob is very smart, loves to laugh and always has a positive attitude for a young man. This year Jacob goes to high school, where have the years gone. I have know Jacob since he was a little boy and he has always been the best big brother. Most of the time he is quiet, calm, and reserved but is very intelligent. He really is the best kid and the best nephew. I loved coming over and watching him and his Tio both asleep while watching cartoons. He is the sweetest young man.
Almaleigh Lowe
Jr. Bridesmaid
Almaleigh is my little Scout Finch because she is a spunky, sassy, and rambunctious. She almost lives at my parents house since she is over at 1-2 times a week. We love when she comes over because she is always making us laugh. When I asked her to be in my wedding she was SO excited! I am also so excited to have her as my junior bridesmaid because she makes also makes a great assistant. Also, she has the best dance moves.
Analeigh Lowe
Flower Girl
My little Analeigh is such a ray of sunshine!! I love her so much and is so adorable she will make the perfect flower girl. Like her sister she is also sassy and strong willed. I swear she will grow up to be an actress because she can change character in heart beat. She often asks when i'm getting married so I know she is excited to play her role. She also always asks if I have a boy and I always explain I have a boyfriend who will be my husband. I can't wait to see her in her flower girl dress.
Ethan Roberts
Ring Bearer
Ethan Roberts is our handsome ring bearer who I'm sure will do a great job. We remember going to visit him when he was just born and now he is such a big boy who has a lot of energy. Uncle Juan could have do such an important job without his assistant. We cannot wait to see him all dressed up and looking handsome as always!
