Isabella & Jorge
Wedding Party
Ashley Salazar
Maid of Honor
Ashley is my favorite sister in the whole world!! Aside from us being polar opposites at times, she is my best friend who I tell everything too. I can’t even begin to imagine a life without my baby sister and I am so thankful to God for her, her heart, and her brave spirit that makes a difference in this world! She is not only a secret ninja when it comes to comebacks to jokes, but she is the worlds best video game player! She is smart, kind, and beautiful and I hope to be like her when I grow up. My favorite memory with Ashley: playing Super Nintendo 64 and just as I’m about to lose, something “accidentally” freezes the game and we start over! ...love you Ash!
Haley Brendlinger
Bridesmaid
Haley is one of my oldest and dearest friends! I met her at the beginning of our middle school journey and we have way too many inside jokes to count. I know that anytime I am with Haley, I can guarantee to laugh my waterproof eyeliner off!! She is a tough cookie that has been through hard times as well, but you would never be able to tell, and that is truly an inspiration! Haley has been there for some of my hardest times and has helped create some of my best memories. I am extremely thankful for her and her friendship that is one of a kind! Favorite memory with Haley: Wendy’s. All I’m going to say! And singing “Don’t Forget” and "I Swear" ...Too funny!! -Isabella
Alejandro Bolanos
Bridesman
Alejandro... *cue Lady GaGa’s song*! We became close at the beginning of high school, and although we knew of each other in middle, it wasn’t until there was a universal switch in friendships and Haley, Alejandro, and I became close (long story). I always say never give him a compliment because his head gets too big, but in reality, he deserves all the compliments. One minute we can have a serious conversation, and the next we can most definitely have a great time singing, dancing, and taking on crazy adventures! Alejandro is and always has been a great friend. Favorite memory with Alejandro: Working the night shifts together at the AMC and singing our hearts out to romantic music in the car! ...Also, singing “Don’t Forget” with us two and Haley. -Isabella
Diana Tenorio
Bridesmaid
Diana is my dear friend from college. We both studied Media Arts and Animation in San Francisco and allowed fate to create an unbreakable sisterhood. Diana is a peace maker, who loves with all of her heart, and always has my back. I always have a great time with her and find myself able to enjoy life during its hardest times when I’m around her. She is funny, caring, and has love to go round! Time never feels like it passes with her and I can always count on Diana. “Tom o” Favorite Memory of Diana: Living with me in College and making dance videos to last a life time! -Isabella
Michelle Nuñez-Musumeci
Bridesmaid
Michelle is my dear friend from college and we met in our Life Drawing class. We bonded over something we could careless to talk about now (you know Michelle), and the rest was History. We had many adventures cruising the streets of San Francisco and I even had the honor of being her roommate, which always felt like the ultimate sleepover! Michelle is fun and upbeat, and I know that I’m in good company when we’re together. She invests nothing but love in our friendship and I can always count on her to push me forward. Michelle always encourages me to keep on pursuing God through it all, and prays fiercely with me during the hardest times. Favorite Memory of Michelle: Living in our studio in San Francisco and the famous sweet potato story!! -Isabella
Marlen Ramirez
Bridesmaid In Heaven
I met Marlen in 2011 and we instantly became soul sisters! There was never dull moment with her, but every moment was the best when we shared it by talking, dancing, and traveling across California to visit each other. We would have 3 hour FaceTime calls no matter where we would be and I knew to expect a phone call from her on the daily! Her laugh was contagious and her love for not only football, but people matched mine. Marlen passed away September 9, 2018, and although my heart hurts that she is not physically here, her love is a part of me always. One thing I learned from Marlen: Fight the hard fights and love life. Love you, Marley. -“Bells”
Maria Quintero
Best Woman
I have known Maria for about 10 years now, and she has always been by my side during the good times and the bad times. She is someone I can always count on and is more than a best friend, but is family! Aside from being an awesome mom, she is a great chef who kicks butt 24/7. I have learned many things in life and in the kitchen from Maria, but one thing I always knew is that she has a big heart and is genuinely a great person. -Jorge
Roman Novelo
Best Man
Roman is not only my Best Man, but he is my baby brother. I love him with all of my heart, and I am so happy to have him by my side on my wedding day. He is a part of my heart who pushes me to move forward as a brother should, and also encourages me to follow my dreams. God knew what He was doing when He gave me my brother, and it’s a friendship I will always cherish. -Jorge
Rodrigo Lopez
Groomsman
Rodrigo has been a long time friend and I have known him for over 10 years. Not only has he been a big supporter in my life, but he is a friend who I can always have a good time with. Besides being an awesome new Dad, he is a great DJ who knows how to keep the party going! I respect him in many ways and I am happy to have him by my side. -Jorge
Ruben Sosa
Groomsman
Ruben is my long time friend from México and I have known him since high school. If there was one place you could always find us, it would be on the fútbol (soccer) field. He was the friend who always stayed in contact with me, even after I moved to the U.S., and always supported me and my journey. He is a great father and husband, and I am proud to have a great friend like him! -Jorge
Chuy De Paz
Groomsman
I have known Chuy for about 4 years now and we met working at the same company. What started off as co-workers, quickly became a friendship as we bonded over genuine conversations about life and hardships. Chuy is a man who puts himself last and cares for everyone. He has a great heart and he is also a great father and husband. I am happy to have a friend like Chuy. -Jorge
