Matron of Honor
Maria's known Marcy since her first job after college! Marcy has been like another big sister to Maria over the many years since they've known each other. Without having ever asked Marcy (and Felix) adopted Maria into their family and have watched her grow into the person she is today. Maria credits much of her success to Marcy's wisdom, love, and friendship.
Maid of Honor
Loren is Maria's big sister! She's been Maria's biggest defender, is always the first one she calls when she needs a good cry, she's probably one of the few people in the world that laughs at literally ALL Maria's jokes (whether they're funny or not). She's always someone Maria can count on for the most emotional support and the person who can always be counted on for all the skin care needs. Thank you for all the skin treatments... even the green face ;)
Bridesmaid
Mary and Maria met a few years ago (as a result of Marcy!) and decided to be roommates after only a few hours of knowing each other. Mary is easily always laughing, has the greatest empathy, and can always be counted on to give plenty of reality statements! We took a spontaneous trip to Iceland and came back at the start of the pandemic! Goes to show you that Mary is always open to going with the flow. Greatest roommate that ever existed!!
Bridesmaid
Maria and Brittanie met back when she joined her first ministry at church. Maria would have never suspected that a lifelong friend would have happened as a result of the late nights at church taking out the trash. She is always reminding Maria to stay centered and focused on the mission, reminding her to let go of her planning tendencies, and is one of the first people Maria always reaches out to for prayer. She has THE GREATEST heart for hospitality and makes me laugh ALL THE TIME. LOVE YOU BRITT!!!
Bridesmaid
Johanna is a childhood friend of Jake's and a new friend to Maria! Johanna was the first to welcome Maria into the NY family and has been an active presence since the move! Johanna's honesty and vulnerability is treasured. Her genuine nature & thoughtfulness brings so much warmth into Maria and Jake's life. We are so thankful for you and we love you!
