3 decades of marriage, Jose is their first child together and one of 3 pride and joys. A true example of love and a long lasting marriage.
Jasmin Rivera
Maid of Honor
Jasmin is Jackie's sister. She has always been her right hand woman. Always supporting and encouraging each other in life endeavors. Jackie found her Mister, so obviously she needs her Sister to help her #CruzDownTheAisle !
Glenn Cruz
Best Man
Glenn is Jose’s younger brother—a man of few words, many ideas, and even more love. He’s been by Jose’s side in every major milestone of life. And now, for his biggest one yet!
Deva Ramlal- Karamat
Matron of Honor
Deva (pronounced like Diva) and Jackie have been best friends since Nursing school in College. Jackie was given bridesmaid duties in her wedding 10 years ago! Now it's Deva's turn to return the favor.
Anthony Devito
Groomsman
Every step of the way, Anthony's always been there for Jose and the family. From running around neighborhoods as kids, to now growing professionally as adults.
Patricia Cruz - Gordillo
Bridesmaid
Patty is Jose's sister but will soon be Jackie's too! Jackie was a Bridesmaid in Patty's wedding and even caught the bouquet (although now it seems rigged)! Patty wasn't wrong when she told Jackie that she "was next!"
Raul Gordillo
Groomsman
Raul is Jose’s brother-in-law. Jose served as his best man at his wedding. Raul has become Jose’s right hand man for whatever life throws at them.
Melody Alacan
Bridesmaid
In line at the cafeteria Freshman year in High School, Jackie never thought Melody (who, at the time looked like a mean girl) would become one of her lasting best friends. She is a ball of energy and fire. Meet her on the dance floor!
Siully Fernandez
Groomswoman
Siully is Jose’s childhood friend—She’s pretty much family. Together, they’re working at IP to digitize and decarbonize the built environment.
Samaya Karamat
Flower Girl
Matron of Honor Deva's, second born and youngest. Now 5 years old will serve her first time as a Flower girl. Maya is rambunctious and has the attitude of a teenager, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree ;)
Sameer Karamat
Ring Security
Matron of Honor, Deva's first born, now 8 years old. One of the smartest kids you will ever know. Jackie was actually in the delivery room and was one of the first people who got to hold Sammy. Search the gallery on the site for a photo of Jackie holding this little firecracker as a baby.
