Linda & Adrian
Wedding Party
Maly Carlos
Maid of Honor
"My biggest support system is my sister. She has always been there for me in every chapter of my life. Even with the distance of where we lived growing up, that never stopped us from looking for one another. She's my therapist, the one who yells at me when I mess up, the one who guides me to make the right decision, and she has always been supportive of my relationship with Adrian. I couldn't pick anybody else more perfect to be my Maid of Honor."
Aaron Davila
Best Man
"I could not imagine this day without my brother standing there with me. Growing up with him has created lasting memories, and making sure neither of us have boring days. We are brothers, we bump heads, fight, and forgive as brothers should. We take care of one another, and for him family always comes first. He is my sidekick, and when I see him, I am filled with the love that we shared all throughout our childhood. He is and always has been my best man."
Audriannah "Audri" Davila
Bridesmaid
"The little sister I never had, I have loved growing close to Audri and having her not only in my life as family, but also as a friend I know I can count on for anything. She is a current student at UCSD and because of that, we get to see each other so much more now that she is living in San Diego. We both go to each other for advice and guidance, and I am so blessed to have her be an important part of my life. Audri is so mature for her age and she reminds me a lot of myself when I was younger with her hunger for success. She has such a big heart and always loves to help when needed."
Adrian Gonzalez
Groomsman
"I asked Adrian to be a groomsman because other than their dad, he has been a huge role model to me from Linda's family. A self-made man, who humbles himself by prioritizing family, especially his daughter, above all else. I have grown closer to Adrian over the years, and continue to grow our relationship. A relationship that brother-in-laws should have. Someone who upholds the values that he does, makes me certain that he should stand with me."
Damaris De La Paz
Bridesmaid
"I remember meeting Damaris for the first time in 3rd grade when she first moved to El Cajon. It was a true friendship from the start. From being YouTube sensations with the "Linda and Damaris" show - to graduating high school together. I wouldn't be able to say "I Do" without my girl standing by me. Her energy and positivity is contagious in every room she steps in. She is inspirational from being such a hard worker and go-getter and I think everyone needs someone in their life like Damaris."
Zachary "Zach" Schaaf
Groomsman
"I met Zach freshman year at USD. He did not like me, and reminds me to this day that he didn't like me. So of course he is one of my best friends today. A powerhouse in the science world, and in the top 1% of Kanye's listeners means it is a must that he is a groomsman. Our friendship has grown so strong and quick, that I now consider him a brother. If my phone is ringing at 9:00 at night, you can best believe it's Zach calling."
Monica Cooper
Bridesmaid
"I am forever thankful that USD and Alpha Delta Pi brought us together, not only as friends but practically sisters for life. Monica has been with me through all the ups and downs of my college life and has stuck by me since then. From our crazy party days, pulling all-nighters at our school library during finals, going to the beach on weekends, staying up all night talking about boys, she's been there for all of it. She told me from the very start that she thought Adrian and I were going to end up getting married, she knew he was the one for me."
Jeremiah "Jerry" McGuire
Groomsman
"Growing up Jerry was my go to when it came to being mischievous. Sometimes I like to think we are two sides of the same coin. With my brother and his, we were the balance between the group and always kept each other entertained. If something around the house broke, you best believe that it was either Jerry or me that broke it. Always a good conversationalist, a loving brother, and an overall good man, Jerry is like another one of my brothers."
Melissa Garcia
Bridesmaid
"Melissa is one of the most humble and honest people I have ever been introduced to. We both went to the same high school, and although I knew who she was, we didn't become best friends until we were both in college. When we first met, we instantly hit it off as if we had known each other for years before that. One of my favorite things about her is her loud and contagious laugh, she never fails to crack me up. She is one of the most loyal friends out there and I know that she will always be there for me and Adrian."
Andrew "Andy" Kim
Groomsman
Before I left for college, I had the opportunity to meet my roommate. He traveled out of his way so we can meet and since then, we have grown as close as brothers can grow. He was my first experience living with another person who wasn't my family. And though we have had our disagreements, we never let it ruin our friendship. Andy is someone you can depend on and always has your best interest in mind. We have both grown together in so many ways whether it be learning how the world works, or learning how to iron our shirts. I am beyond happy that Andy will be standing with me on my wedding day.
Gloria Sandoval
Bridesmaid
"Gloria is the type of friend who will message you Good Morning every single day without fail. She is a consistent true friend who can also be easily confused with a therapist, professional DJ, fashion expert, and more. The type of friend who will bring you medicine from TJ when you're sick - we all know those kinds of friends and let me tell you, they are rare. When you have a friend like Gloria in your life, just know that you have a friend for life."
Joshua McGuire
Groomsman
Growing up Josh and I were both the eldest siblings to our family, as a result we have a good understanding of each other as cousins. One of the more loving, caring, and family-oriented men I have come to know and grow up with. In everything he does, Josh does it with compassion.
Gabriela Gutierrez
Bridesmaid
"Gaby is an amazing person both inside and out. She is beautiful and incredibly intelligent - the biggest package deal if I've ever seen one. Another friend who has stuck by me since middle school. Coming from similar backgrounds, first generation Latina who comes from a humble family who prioritized putting her education first, there was just no way we weren't going to be best friends. Her driving skills terrify me to this day, but I know I can always rely on her for anything."
Andrew Gil
Groomsman
"When people think of day one friends, they are usually referring to a great level of friendship they may have with someone, but Andrew Gil has been there from before I was born. Our parents were friends growing up, so there is no reason why the friendship should not transcend into the next generation. Coming from the sandbox together, graduating high school together, and going to college in the same city, Gil has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I knew before I met Linda, that he would need to stand up at the altar with me."
