Gian & Gabriela
Wedding Party
Veronika Zavalaga
Maid of Honor
Veronika is my second and only sister. She pretty much exists thanks to me lol. When I was 9, I begged my parents for a sibling because I felt lonely, and boom there she is! But seriously speaking, even though we are 9 years apart in age, we get along so well and have shared special moments in life together. She is not just my baby sister, she's someone I know has my back and will be there for me no matter what, as I will be for her as well.
Katya Carrillo
Bridesmaid
Katya is not just my fiancé's sister. Katya has become part of my family, and we have gotten closer and closer through the years. Our friendship began when we started playing soccer together back in the summer of 2014, and though I haven't played again ever since, Katya keeps playing and has become a great soccer player. We have shared a lot of moments together, from partying and getting drunk together to watching Netflix in the couch together. Katya is like my sister from another mister. I love you girl!
Angela Carrillo
Bridesmaid
Angela is not only my future sister-in-law, but has also become like an older sister for me. She's so caring and is always making sure we are doing great. We first met through mutual friends at a latin party in Kentucky and our friendship grew when Gian and I started dating. Some great memories we have together (besides going out to dance lol), were watching scary movies and sometimes just talking about life. We love you cunis for your kindness and your huge heart!
Vicky Avila
Bridesmaid
Well, we shared half of our lives together! haha! There's so much to talk about girl! Well, let's start from the beginning. We pretty much met when we were both 14. I can still remember the very first time we met, I was a transfer student halfway through my freshman year in high school and didn't know anyone in the new school. We had the same computer class and after being introduced as the new kid, Vicky approached me and was the friendliest of friends I could ever ask for! Our friendship grew bigger and bigger throughout the years and even though we both have very busy lives, (especially Vicky with now three kids and working a full time job) when we talk it's like we never stopped talking since high school! I love you girl, and I am so happy you get to share this special moment with me!
Walmys Leon
Bridesmaid
Walmys! My first cuban friend ever! And the second cuban I ever met in my life lol! I am so thankful we crossed paths especially when I didn't know anyone in South Florida. Though we have a short friendship, it feels like we had been friends forever! Walmys and I first met on May 2018 at the beach. Her boyfriend Alexis and my fiancé Gian were childhood friends and reconnected once Gian moved to Florida. I am so thankful for our boyfriends being friends otherwise we would've never met! Walmys is a teacher at a catholic school and she rocks at everything she does. She's smart, beautiful and is always reminding me to stand up for myself in life. Girl, you rock!
Joel Mendoza
Best Man
Joel! One the first latino friends I made when I moved to the US. I met him through mutual friends from high school and we became really close friends since then. He is the reason how I met the love of my life. Joel is a very caring person and I always consider him as a brother. Very hard working man and he has my respects!
Manuel Mujica
Best Man
Man.. where do I begin? I met Manuel back in my junior year in High School through a mutual friend. He thought he was a tough guy but he's always been SOFT! He was the DJ at every party we had. We worked together for 2 years and we always had each others' back for anything. One thing that I always remember about him, is that he has been punched and knocked out so many times that I lost count lol but he is a real brother and has always been there for me no matter what.
Enrique Fernandez
Best Man
TICO! One of the nicest persons I've ever met in my life. I met him at a New Years' party and I asked him if he could give me a ride back home. We became very close friends after that. He is that type of friend that always gives you an advise about anything. We shared a lot of memories together and I know I can always count on him.
Alexis Rodriguez
Groomsman
Alexis and I grew up in the same neighborhood back in Peru when we were little. We built a great relationship in our early ages. When I left Peru back in 2006, I lost in touch with him for many years. Then, I found out he moved to Florida in 2011 and we reunited again in 2018 when I also moved to Florida. He will be one of my best friends forever.
Matthew Collado
Groomsman
My little brother. I watched him growing up, I used to babysit him and take him to school and now he is a high school graduate and all! Even though you were a little brat when you were little, I will always love you brother.
