Wedding Party
Cesar Fuentes
Groom
Cesar was a good friend when we first met. I could talk to him about my feelings openly. He's been great at supporting me through my personal and life struggles. He taught me how to dance salsa :) and to embrace the 80's freestyle and music in general. One of the things he's surprised me in was that he's not shy about singing to his favorite songs. We both have music in common in every way. There's so much more we do together I would love to share but there's not enough space to tell all. Cesar has broke me out of a shell in more way than one. I love you babe....mmmuuuuaaahh.
Glenda Orellana
Bride
Glenda, where do I begin?! She has brought out the best in me. She challenges me and tells me not to look back at the toughest moments that have crossed my path. Thank you for teaching me the word “thaw” (I had to Google the meaning), LOL, and how to really cook thereafter. It’s been so much fun sharing places with you; especially the ocean, I love you for who you are, never change. I can’t wait to share more memories with you baby.
Marcos Sanchez
Best Man
Marcos and I started our friendship over 25 years ago through work at an elementary school. He became my assistant in a children P.E. program and took over once I left. We have kept in touch since. He's been a very caring and honest person which I consider true friendship. I chose him as a best man because we have a lot of things in common, e.g. the Lakers, which makes for a big part of our friendship among other things. I am hopeful we continue this friendship and never draw apart from each other.
Melissa Churchwell
Maid of Honor
Mel, my SNL to be and a woman who's showed me she'll have my back anywhere anytime. She's tough enough as she is a great mother to her daughters. She's able to talk to and relates with any age group. Since the time we began hanging out at New Wave, I liked her. We danced and got wasted together...her more than I...LOL. We have had and shared good times and experienced some not so great days, too. But amongst all, I know I can depend on her to take care of things I cannot handle. To me, she's like the Queen Latifa in "Bringing Down the House." Thank you Mel for accepting to be my maid of honor and standing by my side all this time. Love ya gurl!
Damon Thomas
Groomsman
D became my friend through a past employer. We both got hired and moved up at the same time. He's always smiling and motivating me. One of his famous words are 'til this day, "stay hungry." I've know him for over 9 years for which I consider him a friend and bother.
Cynthia Paul
Bridesmaid
Cesar and I met Cindy through a mutual friend, Pablo, Cesar's friend. She's the most kindest, concert loving, easy going, and fun person to have as a friend. Cindy and Cesar can go on for hours talking about music, concerts, and the performers...OMG! With Glenda, she has shared girl talk moments. We've shared our past, relationships, and our children...men, now. In between our talks we have found we have lots in common as women. We have had our share of struggles but success has come to us at the end. I chose Cindy to be part of my bridesmaids because she's truly being a friend and a support whenever I had my doubts. You know what I'm talking about. Love you girl!
Victor Solorzano
Groomsman
Glenda's cousin. Victor is the kindest, honest, and toughest person we've known. He's a work-a-holic but when family comes around, he makes time. He's been a good pal to Cesar since they met. We can always count on him to have a place for us to stay in Las Vegas for the weekend...LOL. We love you Vic! Thank you for everything.
Adriana Roberts
Matron of Honor
In the short time I have known Adriana, she's been a true honest friend. Adriana and I have known each other for about a year to a year and a half. We worked in the same company for that time. Since I've known Adriana she's been a woman who loves to have fun. She's a very spirited person. Adriana reminds me of the sitcom "Cheers" she knows many people in our town and everyone knows her by name. Adriana loves to work out. Talk about going to the gym at 3-4 a.m. WTH! Anyway, the most common things we have is God, past relationships, wine, dancing, and just having fun.
Elias Fuentes
Groomsman
Elias is my cousin who's like the little brother I never had but have loved like one. We've had many good times, especially in Cancun, LOL. Our dads have been an example of what true brothers are and because of them we are close as well. Thank you for all the laughs and talks. I'm proud to be your cousin.
Jeanette Fuentes
Bridesmaid
Sister, you have always been there for me. You have been tough and straight with me in the moments I needed to be straightened up. Thank you for introducing me to alternative 80's bands and Salsa music. Let's continue to share more fun moments together and remember, "FOLLOW ME"...LOL. Thank you for accepting being part of our wedding. Glenda and I are so happy you'll be sharing our happiness next year.
Mario Orellana
Groomsman
Glenda's younger, oldest and closest brother to her. As my brother he's always supported me and my decisions but will set things straight when things need to be. He totally has his family's back. To Cesar his been a guy he can talk to, laugh, talk about sports, and most of all music...Morrissey. I still don't understand why you're all over the map with different sports teams but regardless, I still love you man!
Patricia "Patty" Fuentes
Bridesmaid
Patty is Cesar's older and dearest sister. She's been the strong-hold of the family and a support to his only brother through thick and thin. As my future SNL, I would love to have a sister who can push me when I'm down and cheer me up when I'm sad. Patty, where to begin? From your first paycheck, you spend it on your siblings. 'Til today your ways have not changed. You're love for me and everyone has never changed. You've never taken sides but given me the best advice possible. I am very blessed to have a sister like you who also has been like a mother to me. Continue to smile, give, and understand those around you. I know I can always count on you and therefore, you can count on me. Your brother.
