Gianmaris’ Parents
"When we first met Josh, he was a "friend" who you could talk to for hours. Eventually, he became the person who brought a huge smile to your face. The connection that you guys have is so special, as if you had known each other your whole lives. Your relationship has the best foundation: friendship! You trust each other and accept one another for who you are. Josh is thoughtful, patient, a hard worker, and he has shown us that he is there to cheer you on as you achieve all of your goals. Since Josh came into your life, your eyes have not stopped shining. You speak confidently about your future together because Josh has made you feel secure from the beginning. We are so happy to be part of this next step. Love you!

“We are thrilled to welcome G to our family! As parents, you pray that your children find someone that loves and appreciates your child as much as you do, and Josh has found that in G. We look forward to watching them grow together as they begin this new chapter in their lives.”

Maid of Honor
“Hi! I’m Bre— Gianmys high school friend & practically sister! I am a mom of 3 little babies and I currently live in Tucson, AZ. Gianmy & I have been friends since freshman year of high school, seeing each other grow in every which way! Not only do I get to be in Gianmys + Josh’s wedding, but I get to be the maid of honor on this perfect day. Being a wedding photographer, I see every aspect of a wedding day and I’m so happy it’s finally the day that one of my best friends get to experience and cherish it forever.💘”
Gaven Rowland
Best Man
“Hey everyone, I’m Gaven! I’m Tuna’s (Joshua’s) cousin and basically brother! We were born only one month apart and grew up learning life together. I remember like it was yesterday - we would ride bikes and dirt bikes, play hide and go seek tag, and eat our one sweet treat after school. Tuna and I were inseparable and did almost everything together as kids, from sports to Star Wars marathons. I’m so happy for these wonderful people and can’t wait to welcome a Mrs. Tuna to the family! Josh and I have made many memories together, but I have a feeling this will be the BEST one yet!”

"I met Gianmaris in 4th grade, where we became instant friends. At the end of the school year, I move halfway across the country to Texas. Despite the distance, we have stayed friends and kept in touch throughout the years. When we made a pact to be in each other's weddings at 9 years old, I never could have imagined where we would be now. I am so excited to be a part of her wedding and stand by her side as she starts this new adventure with Josh."

“I always looked up to Gianmy growing up. She inspired me to think for myself and speak up when I disagree with something. She’s been a really great sister, and even though there have been ups and downs, I wouldn’t trade her for anything. For a great person like her, you need an equally great partner, and that’s exactly what Josh is. As much as I love how good of a partner Josh is to my sister and I could talk about that, I’d much rather talk about how good of a brother he is. Josh has always been great to me, and every time I see him, he feels more and more like family. I’m really happy that Josh is marrying my sister because I want her to be happy, but more so I’m so glad that he’ll officially be my brother. I love you guys a ton, happy wedding!”

"I've known Josh since high school, and he has been one of my closest friends ever since. When he introduced me to Gee, we instantly became friends, and I knew she would be a special part of Josh's life. I've watched them go from coworkers and friends to where they are now, supporting them each step of the way. Now, I am so honored to be part of their special day! I love you both so much!"

“Joshua and Gianmaris are two of the most important people in my life, and my closest friends that I love dearly. The time we have spent together the last two years has not only been some of the best, but also the most fun I've had with anyone, from board games to other shenanigans along the way. To be able to be a part of their lives going forward as much as they have been mine for many more years to come, would be truly something I would love and I can't wait to be a part of not only their wedding, but also our continued future as hopefully the greatest of friends.”

“As Joshua’s sister, I always wondered who he would have as life partner. When G came into our family I was so excited to have a sister! She and Joshua are a perfect pairing, and I admire the way it’s always been them against the world. I love them together, and she is the perfect completion to our little family! I’m so excited to celebrate their happily ever after💕”

“Josh and G are two of the most genuine people I know. Josh has been a great brother and friend, and I’m so honored to be apart of this milestone. I look forward to the memories and life moments we will continue to share. Congratulations on your happily ever after.”
Lily Platero
Bridesmaid
“When I was 7 years old I moved to a new home and little did I know that I would meet one of my soulmates for life. I lived next to Gianmy’s grandma and we would spend our days playing outside, talking over the fence, and romanticizing growing up. Almost 20 years later we are sharing milestones and living a life our Barbie-playing younger selves would be proud of. I am so happy to be part of a love like Gianmaris’ and Joshua’s. I can’t wait for the big day! ♥️”
Josh Zuria
Officiant
“When I first moved to San Jose I never expected to meet a pair of wonderful people like Joshua and Gianmaris, meeting them and being a part of their life felt like meeting family members and friends I’d never known before. As people they inspire me, as a couple they inspire me too and give me hope that love is real and present in our world. I’m honored and thankful to be a part of their wedding, and a part of their lives.”
