Jesús Torres
Groom
Jesús and Lucy are so excited to start forever with Rachel and Churro! We can’t wait to party with all our friends and family on the best day of our lives!
Jennifer Cogelia
Maid of Honor
Jennifer and Rachel met working at Disney's Hollywood Studios at Mickey's of Hollywood in 2013. Over the past twelve years Rachel and Jennifer have done so much together. They both have shared getting puppies, moving to Main Street USA, quarantining, binging reality TV, weekly trips to Home Goods, endless amounts of ice cream, and an obsession with cruising! Jennifer always has the best morning hair, is the best travel buddy, and is always ready for coffee!
Susan Lasher
Bridesmaid
Disney magic brought Susan and Rachel together on their college program. Rachel thought Susan would be mean but one long line waiting for Soarin' sparked a lifelong friendship. Susan went back to school after the internship, but they never lost contact, ln fact, Susan and Rachel traveled often to visit each other and much of that time has been spent at Disneyland and Disney World. Susan always has the best advice, will fight someone for a parade spot, and her eyeliner and mascara are always on point! You’re so pretty and I love you so much!
Mari Torres
Bridesmaid
Mari is Jesús’ sister and quickly became the next best part of meeting Jesús. While Jesús got you first, I’m so glad he has to share you now. So happy to call someone so kind, beautiful, and funny my sister!
Emmanuel Medina Meléndez
Bridesman
BridesManny! Emmanuel is Rachel’s brother from another mother. Also meeting on the Disney College Program, Manny and Rachel quickly bonded and have been inseparable since. From Disney to Puerto Rico and back, Manny has been the best brother Rachel could ever ask for. He is the best travel guru, the life of the party, and best uncle to Churro! I just want to lick your face!
Jamie Hedrick
Bridesmaid
Rachel and Jamie met when Rachel became Jamie's leader at Disney's All-Star Sports Resort. They helped each other along the way as they both grew in to Disney leaders. They both bonded over their love for broadway, their ability to communicate with a well-placed side eye, and Chuy’s jalapeño ranch! Jamie is one of the most talented and creative people who will always support you even though you had to run away from me at the Dr. Phillips Center to hide from Ann Klumpp. Caw-Caw!
Erin Earley
Bridesmaid
Erin and Rachel have been friends since childhood. From free period trips to Red Lobster, late night Wal-Mart runs, wings and Dance Moms, and last minute cross country road trips, she’s always been there. Through thick and thin they have seen it all together and they will be there for each other through the next chapter, even if you almost hit that van. I hope your blasters are out of the shop by now!
Nikki Badeen
Bridesmaid
Nikki and Rachel met at Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort and quickly became Rachel’s life support. They bonded over their love for Broadway while in the trenches and quickly realized how much they had in common. She may have started the chapter at All-Stars, but I couldn’t say I do without her!
José "Nacho" Castro
Best Man
We met 17 years ago at my sister’s birthday party — he had never blacked out or thrown up before that night… then he met me. Since then, we’ve bonded over movies, video games, anime, Fast & Furious marathons, sports, and dark humor. He’s been my chaos partner ever since.
Gabriel Rodríguez
Groomsman
My first brother, the one who turned me into a middle child 31 years ago. I couldn’t ask for a better younger bro, even when he starts the washer with no clothes in it. He’s always been there, and I wouldn’t change a thing about him (except maybe his laundry skills).
Cristian Rodríguez
Groomsman
My youngest brother for 25 years and easily the most interesting person I know. His choices are unpredictable, his decisions rarely expected, but he always brings something good, or at least entertaining, to the table.
Milton Flores
Groomsman
My oldest friend — we go back 25 years to the first day of 7th grade. He couldn’t find his backpack, and I stayed behind to help him. That moment kicked off a brotherhood built on food, music, movies, and countless shared experiences. He’s my brother from another mother, and I wouldn’t be who I am without him.
Matt Greenan
Groomsman
My college program roommate back in 2011. Honestly, I didn’t think we’d even be friends after our first conversation but time, growth, and shared experiences turned us into brothers. Love you, man.
Kevin Koller
Groomsman
We met during the 2011 Disney College Program at the Speedway. I started off thinking he was just another jock but turns out, he’s one of my best friends. I’ve never been so happy to be wrong. All I can say is… Mellon.
Garrett Gawne
Groomsman
Another friendship forged in 2011 during the college program, and one of the few people I’d trust with just about anything. Thanks to his wedding, I got to travel to Ireland, London, and Scotland, but more importantly, I got a friend for life.
Milly Gotay
Mother of the Groom
My mom has been my biggest supporter through every stage of my life. Her love, strength, and guidance have shaped the person I am today. She’s always been there to celebrate my wins and pick me up in the hardest moments, and I couldn’t be more grateful to have her by my side on this day.
Iván Torres
Father of the Groom
My dad is an important part of my life and my story. I’m grateful to share this next chapter of my life with him.
Edwin Rodriguez
Father of the Groom
My stepdad has been there for almost all of my life, and he’s the one I’ve learned the most from. He’s shown me patience, strength, and what it truly means to be a man. I’m incredibly grateful for the role he’s played in shaping who I am, and I’m proud to honor him today.
Sharon Brown
Mother of the Bride
The best mom in the world, can’t wait to celebrate this day with you and dad! I wouldn’t be here without either of you!
Bruce Brown
Father of the Bride
The best dad in the world, can’t wait to celebrate this day with you and mom! I wouldn’t be here without either of you!
Radamés Medina Meléndez
Officiant
Rada is our favorite superstar! Rachel has attended as many of Radamés’ performances as she could and is his biggest fan! The support goes both ways as Rada has always been the biggest cheerleader for Rachel as they both progressed in their careers! We may not talk about Bruno, but there’s no one else we’d rather have talk about us on our wedding day!
Lucy
Flower Girl
The best bully in the whole world, the best big sister to Churro and the true reason mom swiped right.
Churro
Ring Bearer
Everyone’s favorite goldendoodle and mama’s best boy. The biggest goofball and the best hugger. I probably already ate the rings….
